Because it is good
Because "Muh Russian Orthodoxy" is a KGB psyop (pic-related)
Ask yourself, why are there so many threads on both "Orthodoxy" and Russian Literature? And what is with the bizarre conflation of the two, as if one and the other are basically the same thing? Are we to believe that Russian literature is so poor and underdeveloped that it never went beyond themes that were already explored and surpassed in Western Europe by the end of the High Middle Ages?
This is not an accident. There is an ongoing operation to demoralize the West all while deluding amateurs through cheap pomp, jingles and i-cons (iTv, iPhones, iPad, iSongs, etc,) into believing that Eastern Europe has something that the West does not have when in fact Eastern Europe is literally a Potemkin village, and has always been a Potemkin village, being the origin of Potemkin villages.
Could you please elaborate on this? Any book recs or articles talking about it? Thanks.
Poor man, twitter killed him. Instead of focusing in good things, he wastes his time arguing with cryptogays.
moronic take. The Brothers Karamazov gets praised because it is one of the best books there are. Yes, the author is a nationalist, of course he is going to defend his nation; there is nothing obscure about it, lmao. And Tolstoy himself, an author as praised as Dostoyevsky, on the other hand, criticized Orthodoxy more than anyone. Each author defends what they believe in, are you moronic?
>And Tolstoy himself, an author as praised as Dostoyevsky
lol Tolstoy is not nearly praised as much as Dostoyevsky, barely even a quarter as much as Dosto
>criticized Orthodoxy more than anyone
and this is why Tolstoy gets barely a quarter of the praise that Dosto gets. It's a concerted effort to push forth this Potemkin image of Russia as some kind of "Orthodox" village
I'd say Tolstoy gets praised more than Dostoyevsky
>I'd say Tolstoy gets praised more than Dostoyevsky
This is observably false, poo-poo(tn) shill
Not him, but Tolstoy really is praised more than Dosto, ask an actual Russian. You might be biased because you fell for the orthomeme.
Doesto is more popular (not more praised) than Tolstoy for obvious reasons, his writing style is much more dramatic, edgy, philosophical. It's very immediately relatable to a zoomer audience.
Tolstoy is focused on characters in everyday situations, many of them in "high society", and festure much less shock value or dramatic pacing. He's generally considered a greater fine artist than Doesto.

I think Tolstoy is more popular, that is well known among normies
I've really started to dislike him.
Okay, so which secret government agency is responsible for all the Pynchon threads?
bunco squad
Because it has SOUL
It strawmans Atheists and hamfists in Christian rhetoric that makes Christcucks cream their pants
Converts a lot of losers
I found it to be less compelling than the house and possessed, but better than crime.
Dostoyevsky is overrated. Shit prose and structure, people only like his work for sentimental reasons.
It shows authentic human passion
This and it's full of drama and humor. Dosty is one of the most human writers, that's why he keeps getting read.
This is the one book where you never feel like the reading the characters' rants are indulging the author that is paid by the word count. When a character starts a 15 pages essay, you better fricking read it and pay attention because they are the author's personification of a life of internal strife and conflict about God and the cruelty of life. Simply, no one else could've written this piece of literature besides Dosto himself.
The book is never self-indulgent. In 'The Idiot', Dostoevski unironically makes you pain through a secondary character's interpretation of the signs of the apocalypse for 10 pages - which is completely inconsequential to the plot. Meanwhile Ivan in Karamazov explains to his brother thoroughly (as a sign they are bonding and wanting the best for each other) why he denies God's heaven and eternal salvation because he is unable to forgive the sins commited against a child, thus testing his saintly brother's faith at the same time that he question the reader. Dostoevski doesn't reward you with easy answers.
As much as people will mistakenly call him proselytizer for christianity, the existence of christianity saved Dostoevski's life. Yet he will never preach in his book that will save yours. When you face Ivan in Karamazov alongside Alyosha, there is no strawman: you are thrown against the wall and made to question God's ultimate justice.
obvi cause the court case is one of the greatest written allegories for the central modern debate of whether or not to kill gahd
Because no one here has actually read it.
