Re: OP

[dreemyweird]

Holy shit, anon, the sheer arrogance of your tone is astounding. "The average Russian reads himself into being a literature major as a hobby". Seriously? This is manifestly untrue. There isn't a nation where your average citizen "reads himself into being a lit major", and Russia is no exception. And have you actually ever had any proper friendships with educated foreigners? Just as there's intelligentsia in the RF, there's one in every other country.

No, it's not the default Russian ideal that everyone must strive for the same level of education. What kind of rainbow world have you grown up in? I went to a Moscow state school where half of the pupils were lower- to lower middle-class kids, many of them from dysfunctional or semi-dysfunctional families, and they were good children and good friends to me, but the notion that we all "must strive for the same level of education" would've been completely foreign to us back then.

And it's like you didn't read anything of what I said. Knowing classics and having generation-defining pieces of media are not mutually exclusive things. You can be a -'90s kid- because you love the Spider-Man animated series, for example (a generation-defining piece of media), AND you can read Tolstoy and Kafka and, idk, Joey Heller at the same time.

>>A Russian's culture/education includes almost all European, Asian and American works of value.

The same is the case for most Eastern bloc countries... And LOL @"almost all Asian works of value". Name one Japanese or Chinese work of fiction included in the Russian HS syllabus.

Regardless of whether I'm "even capable of understanding Russian" (which I assure you I am, given how much I love both the language and the country), by the way, it's forbidden by the f!s rules to post in foreign languages.
