I'm a complete newbie to Russian literature, although I once started in Guilt and Punishment by Dostojevski but put it down quite rapidly - wasn't in the mood for it, I believe. So anyone who can enlighten me, please do so! I already read aura is an expert, so...

Hello! I tried "The Karamazov Brothers" but put it down rather fast, but I have read "Diary of a writer" by Dostojevksij, and I can recommend it. /Capa |

I love russian literature. Especially Michail Lermontov (he had a distant mongol ancestry), who seems to be really unknown to the world. I don't know why, but his poetry moves me. He was a kind of a rebel without cause and was cool enough to die in a duel, like Pushkin whom he idolized, while stationed in Caucasus.

I've just finish guilt and punishment, one of the best books I've ever read! I'm going to begin now with the Brothers Karamazov. But the best russian book I've read is War and Peace, I couldn't sleep thinking what was going to happen, certainly wonderful

I'm actually in the middle of War and Peace at the moment. I guess it's just one of those great things that one must do in his life. I'm making slow progress though, only have an hour or so to read it during my work breaks.

I've actually never really read most of the "greats" of 19th century Russian literature. (One day, perhaps.)
I've read a handful of revolution-era fiction though, a lot of it is amazing. Heart of a Dog by Bulgakov, for example.. |

I love Russian literature - A hero of our time, by Lematov, Crime and Punishment, by Dostoyevski and Fathers and Sons by Tugenev - they really are wonderful.

At a forum named " All Empires" having a thread titled "Russian Literature, it is MANDATORY to list:
Anton Chekhov's "A Journey To The end oF the Russian Empire".
With the war(s) in the Middle East today-and the related wars outside the traditional Middle East designation, I'd also list:
the novella "The Cossacks" by Tolstoy and perhaps his "Hadji Murat".

Never heard of it. In fact, it's quite known that Lermontov's ancestors are from Scotland. He is a descendant of the ancient Scotish poet Lermont

You didn't like the Brothers Karamazov???? You poor, poor man! 
It has to be one of the best books I've ever read. Really, anything by Dostoevsky is near orgasmic to read. Tolstoy is great, but not as good as Dostoevsky IMO. Turgenev isn't bad either.|
