[close] A study of great works of Russian literature! Does that sound too complicated? Shouldn't be. This is a friendly group where you can share your thoughts and knowledge in great works of Russian literature, learn a new thing or two and find people who share the same passion. Whether you are a newbie or an expert or simply love Russian literature or perhaps slightly interested in the writing of Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ivan Turgenev, Anton Chekhov, Alexandr Pushkin, Alexandr Ostrovsky, Vladimir Nabokov, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn... Welcome!
