OP can't /thread himself

Art and happiness are resources of the ruling class to distract and oppress the working class

>>9657165
The rurikid aryan aristocracy that was responsible for all the triumphs of 'russian' civilisation fled or was exterminated, leaving only an illiterate ural-altaic peasant substrate

>>9657559
Unironically this.

>>9657559
The reddest of pills is realizing that the ruling class became the ruling class due an intellectual superiority that allows them to also create literally masterpieces

>>9657559
The true aryan is a savage militant and mystic. STALIN was the epitome of aryan man

>>9657158
It got raped in the ass by communism.

communism is anti-intellectual

>The ruling class produces art

No they consume it.

bolshevism

Because they correctly identify it, expose it, and inevitably popularize it

Russia is ruled by jews to this very day. ZOG territory. Putin is just a front for a cabal of judeobolshevist oligarchs

Unironically this.

This >>9657559 ignoring it's obvious stupidity is a common misconception. Although nothing produced was Tolstoy or Dosteoevsky tier the soviets cultivated a love of reading the classics among the working class. Probably one of the few culturally good things about the USSR. Shame that part didn't last.

>of reading the classics
No, it forced the classics upon the general public, with the kind of results you see in Catcher in the Rye or Great Gatsby threads. And where is that great "hidden" soviet literature you are speaking of?

>>9658166
It's different from the classics, but there's a lot of great Soviet-era Russian literature. My favourites are 'Envy' by Oljesja, a great story about a man who is unable to get with the Soviet times, 'Overstocked Packaging Barrels' by Aksionov, which is about the same subject matter but with more barrels and dreams. Ofcourse everything by Bulgakov, which is just the best and very much Soviet, even if he was critical of the SU himself. Then there's Ilf and Petrov, Katajev, who I personally dont enjoy reading but is good and a lot more that I cant come up with right now. It's worth checking these writers out.
