    I think no other can be compared with Russian poetry. I know some poets from Britain, France, Germany, the USA, but most of them do not reach the level of Pushkin, Lermontov, Yesenin and many dozens of others. The Russian language itself is very large and has dozens of almost identical words, each of which can show not only meaning, but also feelings. Because of such a wide choice, ideal rhymes appear. Pushkin could write a 100-sheet book in verse, and at the same time it would be ideal in terms of plot and rhymes, conveying feelings and emotions. English is much easier to learn than Russian, but it is weaker in content and capabilities. It's a pity that foreigners can't fully appreciate Russian poetry without translation - it's incredible.

      @Tho_ra 2 роки тому +45

      When I needed to translate my fiction story into English at university, I had problems with the choice of words. Since we have a lot of synonyms that in English can mean something completely different or just similar, but not quite the same. And my long sentences made it even more difficult, it was almost impossible for me to understand where and how to put commas in English. A sentence could occupy a paragraph of 5-8 lines, with a bunch of complex parts and divide it into several - it meant killing the meaning and emotional tone of the text.
      As a person from Russia, I advise you to read Ivan Efremov - "the hour of the bull". This book will tell you a lot about the situation in the world now.

I started with White Nights, and then I read all the others, and many other Russian authors. I also visited St Petersburg because I wanted to be in the city where most of his works are settled. I was there in July, probably more than 20 years ago, just after the white nights.

      Korolev was Ukrainian, from Zhitomir. Unless they meant it like "Russian Empire = Soviet Union = Russian Federation", which might make sense considering the number of people who said Stalin. Definitely surprised that no one mentioned Gagarin, though, especially right after April 12.
      Edit: Don't want that to sound combative, especially considering current events. I just studied this stuff a lot and there's a strong trend to claim that the entire Soviet space program was Russian instead of people from many Soviet republics. Tsiolkovsky was Russian, Glushko was Ukrainian, Keldysh was Latvian, etc etc. The cosmonauts selected were almost all Russian at first, though. Gagarin, Titov, Komarov, Tereshkova.

      As a Russian, I have no respect for Tereshkova. She was chosen as the first female cosmonaut for political reasons of her working-class background among more capable and educated women. She shamefully failed her mission and the aforementioned Korolev swore that under his leadership there would no longer be a single woman in space, and he kept his promise. After the flight, she became an ordinary Soviet deputy and has remained so ever since. Her latest initiative as a deputy from Putin's "United Russia"party is to reset Putin's terms so that he rules Russia at least until 2036. So fuck her.

I can't tell is she really believe in modern Putin regime, or she's just old misguided woman. I'm not eliminating all of her achievements of the past, she is still and forever keep her status as the great cosmonaut, but considering everything the regime doing right now, I won't condone her actions and public position.
      Fun fact (not really) about Korolev is that he was in GULAG, where he barely survived, but in the end he and his family (his daughter for example - you can hear her story in the Yuri Dud's video about Kolyma (Kolyma - Birthplace of Our Fear) on YT) were still supporting Stalin.

    For all music lovers:
    -- Sergey Lemeshev - tenor. Perfect in each (!) music genre. Whether it folk song or opera aria. He had very beautiful, unforgettable tone of voice. Even the way he walked on stage -- when I first saw him -- was absolutely genius.
    The love from the first sound. The best Lensky.
    -- Galina Vishnevskaya - great opera singer, soprano. She was brilliant Tatyana in Eugene Onegin. I guess no one sing better the scene with nurse (after letter scene) and the final scene in Onegin. And she was also incredible Katerina Izmaylova.
    -- Nina Dorliak -- opera and lieder singer, soprano. She had not strong, but very flexible and expressive voice. Unfortunately we haven't a lot of her records.
    I'm totally in love with her voice-leading.
    I love her and Richter versions of german composers songs.

    Hi I'm from Croatia and although its very hard to pick 3 most famous of all famous Russians I'll pick Mikhail Lermontov (especially because his work - Герой нашего времени), Andrei Tarkovsky (no need explaining that) and Garry Kimovich Kasparov as one of the greatest chess masters ever, also because of his political views and actions and last but not least he has a Croatian passport so he is my compatriot. If that counts because he is from Jewish-Armenian family :)

Probably you're right about Lermontov as a majority of foreigners would probably say Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Gorky but I really like works of Lermontov (brings me some nice memories and could again easily visualize beautiful Caucasus mountains and plains between two ranges).
      Since you mentioned him, Josip Broz was truly one of the greatest Croats respected world wide. Not exactly my music taste 2Cellos guys, but there's a ton of good music across the Balkans, sadly not that popular (You hit on the spot with Chris Novoselic, I like grunge and always exploring all kinds of music from all over the world). For instance Soviet funk music from the 70' was a big surprise! :)
      Thank you for your kind words about seaside! It is beautiful and the sea is still crystal clear and harmless (There are no dangerous species or at least lets say it is more probable a plane will land on top of your head than you'll get bitten by a shark). The coastal cities are well preserved with lots of history from Roman times onwards.

I can adjust my list though you can say that about a lot of Russian famous people, for example Gogol is a very Ukrainian author (I say "very" because it is not only in his identity but also can be seen in some of his books though they are written in Russian) but is considered a Russian writer if you look him up. Most of us are part Ukrainian part Russian too. Honestly it is a hard question in itself what it means to be "Russian" because it was an empire then USSR for so long we are all mixed by now. If you ask about nationality or ethnicity. Pushkin is the most famous Russian and he is part African. Stalin is Russian but he is not Russian, he is Georgian. I am Russian but my dad's part of the family comes from Ukraine and Chuvashia and mom's seems to be Russian but with a Polish surname for some reason. Etc.
