ps. I can name you a few good names, from 1980-es and 2000-es. worth to know. but probably ypu already are in the know! have you heard anything of Victor Pelevin?

i havent heard of him,. I always welcome book recommendations and the more if its russian literature!!

aha! then, let me recomend you

  1. his short stories (i have no idea about the names for English compilations, but basically, his early stories from 1980-es and 90-es, dedicated (mostly) to the absurd life in the USSR
  2. 'P Generation' - novel about the nasty nature of advertising, and early days of the new Russia appearing on the ruins of USSR.
  3. 'Chapaev & Pustota' (I slightly remember the English translation was renamed to the 'Clay machinegun' or smth like that)

there are a lot of other great novels in his portfolio, but those 3 are the 1st to go, actually. to get acquainteed with this master.

Ok those sound very interesting i will surely check them out and read them eventually. Question, have you ever read The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?

 4 years ago 

yes. but I read parts of this book. it is dedicated to the system of concentration camps created in USSR against the soviet citizens.

tho a book of the said author I enjoyed more, was 'The Red wheel'. or 'Lenin in Zurich' - fiction books dedicated to the Russian Revolution of 1917

Thank you so much for the recommendations!
