Gogol's short stories are definitely worth reading if you just want to dip your toe into 19th century Russian literature.
The 1921 line just rules out Battleship Potemkin - but only by four years.

But Anna Karenina gives you a fascinating view of how the aristocracy lived in Russia during those times. But as with most classic Russian literature, too much god and too much mother Russia.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Chekhov is writing about the lower, and the middle classes. Personally I think it's more interesting.Comment

Yes, his Metamorphosis, is quite the classic. I enjoyed that one quite a bit.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

not typical, and not often mentioned but I enjoyed Turgenev's "fathers and sons"
Dosty's "Crime and Punishment" of course
And yes "war and peace" - even if you dont agree with his philosophy, its just a great story with lots of memorable characters.
Oh, and in that vein, may I suggest Pasternaks "dr. Zhivago" i certainly didnt agree with HIS ideas, but its also a good story with memorable characters.
music
Let me also suggest Prokoviev, the "Classical Symphony"
And Shostakovich
Oops - did you have a 1921 line? That would rule out pasternak and Shostakovich, sorry."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Too much god - I think thats just dosty - Tolstoy, Turgenev, chekov, and gogol are far different."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

I was in somewhat of a panic, thinking "Metamorphosis, WTF?", for a couple of minutes there. Thanks, FP.Comment

He was ... mostly. He wrote plenty of good short stories too, though. A bit like Oscar Wilde in that respect I suppose (although their styles hardly bear comparison).
