Shameless bump

That can't be true. As far as I know, you aren't allowed to teach any of those because of SJW in the West. Do you have to read them through a marxist-feminist lens or LGBT one?

fact is, you just made it up to cover over how liberalism has ruined the West

in Western academia I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to teach white men anymore. You'll see this in almost every higher institution

Youre getting transparent

good to hear, there's apparently two sections for this course, a long with an honors section.. all with different reading lists. I have the other non-honors section here
>Anna Karenina - Tolstoy
>The Master and Margarita - Bulgakov
>Notes From the Underground - Dostoevsky
>The Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoevsky - Dostoevsky
>The Eye - Nabokov
>There Once Lived a Mother Who Loved Her Children Until They Moved Back In: Three Novellas About Family - Petrushevskaya
is this better than the reading list in the OP? i can do either

The first one is better imo because
Heart of a Dog>Master and Margarita
C&P>notes from the underground

Anna Karenina and Tolstoy generally is more European than Russian, it's weird his like a Russophile russian but not very Russian. Idk I definitely recommend Oleshin's Envy if you have time for independent reading and want to score some good boy points as well. It is my favorite work of Russian modernist fiction and is to me sorely overlooked.

You better read Eugene Onegin followed by A Hero of Our Time. I think they're quite indispensable to understanding Russia. And you should read the 100 pages of Notes From Underground before C&P to get a leg up on your classmates if you do end up taking the course. But there's really nothing stopping you in just reading each author's entire bibliography instead of just one work by them outside an academic setting

They're good books but odd choices. That's a weak choice for Tolstoy, especially since it gives you very little idea of the major themes in his works (and there are better short stories he has written).
