How the fuck do you come to this conclusion? I don't understand how you can read Pushkin and deem it horrible. What have you read of his stories?
>>
>>7842745
But Tolstoy is everything good and loving about the world
>>
>>7842778
Tolstoy is pleb-tier
>>
no.

Babby's intermediate literary opinion

Everyone follows the same stages of opinions about Tolstoy

>wow this story is great
>eh he's no Dostoevsky
>fuck I get it now

Read more Russian lit pleb
>>
>>7843312
>not understanding the fourth step is that Tolstoy was a Western transplant and Dostoevsky is the true Russian prophet
Tolstoy is a European intellectual pretending to be a religious serf
>>
Nobody on /lit/ ever talks about Rusland and Lyudmila, which is just the funniest shit.
I don't think the Dost v Pushk q is answerable, they're apples and oranges and from different eras. Dost build on Pushk's legacy and shit. It's like asking who's better out of Shakespeare and Eliot.

>It's like asking who's better out of Shakespeare and Eliot.
But this is so fucking obvious
>>
>>7843511
But it's just moot. Like why would you compare things from different eras, different media, styles, aims, conventions?
And to clarify I mean George not TS
>>
>>7843492
>>7843513
Nigga cmon saying its moot is just such a pussy way out its just a complete lack of spine pick one.
Dosto is better but Pushkin is more formative for russian lit as a whole.
>>
>>7843321
>pretending

No pretending in Anna Karenina m8

>true prophet
>Dostoevsky
Looks like you misspelled Pushkin B)
