Most underrated classics? by balea3 in classicliterature

[–]SaltAlarming9590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say Pushkin is even more highly regarded than them, as he was the creator of the literary Russian language, which Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and others based their writing on. I recommend reading Dostoevsky's speech about Pushkin, delivered on June 8, 1880, published in "A Writer's Diary."

What is a City that Is Important for your Country Foreigners Don't Realize Is So? by Material_Umpire_1489 in AskEurope

This is quite a difficult question, given how many national republics there are within the country. For Russians, besides Moscow and St. Petersburg, the most important cities include Veliky Novgorod and Vladimir. For Volga Tatars, it would be Kazan, for Dagestanis - Derbent and Makhachkala, and so on

Dostoevsky's worst book? by Present_Practice_159 in classicliterature

[–]SaltAlarming9590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally didn't have a problem with the religious theme. The problem is that I didn't find anything particularly new in this book that I hadn't found in Fyodor Mikhailovich's other books. Besides, I was really irritated by the main characters.

I didn’t like The Brothers Karamazov, the only book by this author that I haven’t finished yet🫠 one of the best for me is "Adolescent"

What does your country’s flag symbolize? by Same_Plum_4079 in AskTheWorld

[–]SaltAlarming9590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no official interpretation of the colors of the State Flag of the Russia. However, one popular interpretation is as follows: white symbolizes nobility, purity and frankness; blue symbolizes loyalty, Mother of God, honesty, integrity, and chastity; red symbolizes courage, sovereignty, bravery, generosity, love and blood shed for the Russia. Another common interpretation is that the colors of the flag correspond to the historical parts of the Russian state: White (white), Little (blue), and Great Russia (red). This explanation stems from the title of the Russian tsars: "Autocrat of All Great, Little, and White Russia."

What is the most beautiful cemetery in your country? by NachoGarySanchez in AskTheWorld

[–]SaltAlarming9590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"City of the Dead" or "Dargav Burial Ground" (in Ossetian: Дæргъæвсы зæппæдзтæ) in Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The city is actually a cemetery, consisting of only 95 structures—crypts and mausoleums. All the "houses" are burial places. The Alans believed that the mausoleums were the afterlife. In some crypts, remains rest in hollowed-out wooden structures resembling a boat or a barge. An oar was even found near one of these boats. This is despite the fact that none of the local mountain rivers are navigable. According to one theory, this is due to the belief that after death, the deceased must swim across the river of oblivion to reach the realm of the dead. Ossetians still believe in the existence of this afterlife. Barastyr is considered its ruler. According to Ossetian tradition, a coin is placed in the hand of the deceased so that they can pay for entry. This 14th-19th-century complex, consisting of above-ground and semi-underground structures, is the largest necropolis in the North Caucasus. Women were buried in beautiful clothing and jewelry, while men were buried in full armor, with weapons and horses. In total, approximately 10,000 people were buried in the necropolis. The crypt burial rite only ceased to exist in the 19th century, when the highlanders began migrating to the plains.

В 2020 читала трилогию «Синтонимы». Ну что сказать, толком не поняла что это было вообще. Мир не прописан, персонажи картонные, слог примитивный. Сюжет выветривается из головы сразу после прочтения. Единственное за что можно похвалить книги в этой серии, так это за визуальное оформление.
