Soviet Writers

Greetings! I want to read books from Soviet writers and want suggestions from the experts of literature! I prefer non-fiction but I like fantasy and mystery (especially paranormal mysteries).
Thank you for any help!

Gorky

Platonov

He said non fiction

he said prefer

Grossman

I have book by a F.V. Gladkov called Cement. Haven’t read it yet, sounds like dull “socialist realism”. Anyone familiar with it? If so, what do you think of it?

Bump?

It might be interesting if you read it with humanistic perspective. Author might not want it, but it's also a story how human characters resist bring shoved into an ideological form and suffer from it.

A School for Fools is a wild read. Incredibly difficult since the main character has split personality disorder and no concept of time, but it's some high quality stuff

rather telling that all the writers suggested ended up having their writings suppressed under the soviets

daily reminder that communism is an enemy to literature

>communism = dictatorship of the masses
>mfw people try to say an authoritarian dictatorship with collectivist government is anywhere similar to the definition of communism
all dictatorships, leftist or not, suppress information and art

Ilf and Petrov stood the test of time.

A significant portion of great literature was written under rulers that actively suppressed them. If anything it leads to greater works.

Aristotalnov

>Sholohov
>Ostrovskiy
>Panteleev
Why noone mentioned them, but already brought up (((solzhenitsyn)))

Socratski

"A Werewolf Problem in Central Russia and Other Stories" by Victor Pelevin

warning: suspected magic realism

-ski is Polish not Russian

>not understanding opportunity cost

Roadside Picnic is unironically good.

Try and
Chevengur is a must.

Pasternak, something from a late Vayner brothers, Averchenkov.

Osrtovkiy is not a soviet writer, and Panteleev only have good stories for kids. Sholohov is nice, though.

Also not soviet, and not even his best book.

Would not recomend Gorky.

Any 20th century Russian writers that match or exceed the greatness of their 19th century ancestors?

Boris Polevoj, Mikhail Sholokhov, Isaak Babel, Maksim Gorky, Boris Pasternak, Oles Honchar

alexander Solzhenitsyn

Why? He's great.

Lenin and Stalin, unironically.

There were two Ostovskys, one 19 century playwright, another one communist hack.
