The Russian Mind
True. #RussianLiterature, of course, reflects the #RussianMind. It is thus not surprising that the Russian novel, recounting dark recesses of humanity and the stoicism with which they are endured, has often sparked successive 'Troubles and Revolutions' in Russia.

What makes Russian literature unmatched?
It doesn’t escape pain.
It sits with it. Names it, breaks it open, redeems it.
Before War and Peace, Russian writers had already turned suffering into sacred text.
Let’s walk through it. Then we’ll get to Tolstoy. 🧵
