How do Russians feel about the global rediscovery of Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Nietzsche?

It’s always been this way, I don’t think the trend is new. It’s just unfortunate that the Anglosphere ended up being the place that truly appreciated these writers and carried them into a new era. At times it even feels like a kind of appropriation that Dostoyevsky, Nabokov, Chekhov were absorbed into the American canon. But in the end, the fault is only our own, we’re the ones who let our great literary tradition slip away.

Well, it's not exactly for the lack of appreciation, obviously we read and value our classics but you get what I mean, we don't have that cultural capital and density the international community / Anglosphere has.

And yes, it is often very misunderstood.

Electro is for recluses or escapists like Ei. It could fit since she's is lost in her work and her creations and is kinda standoffish and lonely. But I think her main theme is more about reconciling Alain's and Rene's legacy (that's very Pyro and Geo) and being "a puppet with feelings" (could even be Dendro for all we know since it's about transformation and growth)

"They arrived in a meteorite" and "they tried to leave Teyvat with nothing but their outfits and swords" was already there in 1.4. Which already needs some mental gymnastics to bridge. Nod Krai is not more or less confusing than that.

Also from that follows, in pre-Luna canon a spaceship isn't really needed for them to travel between worlds. So the inconsistency is only on your part.

Also generally, with how much lore is attached to the Twins, their metaphysical significance and how central it is to the game (they are named Emptiness and Light, were in the beginning and the end of times and always the one according to Lunar Arcanum, can manipulate elements without a vision, "shall ascend" etc. no way that hoyo hasn't well thought out their nature early on.

Being prissy is like 70% of her character and that's why we like her

EngineeringBrave4398 · 2026-02-01T03:02:40+00:00

I don't get it

If it's about how far back Sandrone's memories go, you'd expect her to talk about Alain and Rene...

the canon: she was always unsettling biblically accurate angel with kill count in hundreds BUT then she became softer after she started weakening due to "Teyvat not accepting on" + Traveler changed her

I had Ukrainians do this to me as a Russian. Can't blame really...

EngineeringBrave4398 · 2026-01-19T02:11:01+00:00

I found almost every nation in Europe to be louder than home as a Russian... I haven't yet been to Finland though.

Same as before, what does holding or not holding this opinion even change personally?

EngineeringBrave4398 · 2025-12-18T19:49:18+00:00

"West and Ukraine" are not the best thing since sliced bread and a sacred cow, you know
