I think I'm going to start learning Russian now
All I really know are the golden age authors but are there many soviet and post-soviet authors to be excited about?
How jarring will it be to go from Pushkin to Tolstoy to Vasily Grossman language wise?
Am I going to be able to get Russian editions which tell me that a 'Runking Troller' was the name that Petersburgians used for a type of carriage for only 3 decades during Tolstoy's lifetime? Idk why but I have a feeling texts with annotations are probably rare
