You are quite right, more than that, even I, a native russian speaker, have some difficulties in understanding some pieces of our literature.
Try reading Victor Pelevin - it is completely not the thing
that it seems from the first sight
For example, you'd have to know a lot of Russian "anecdots"
to understand nearly 1/2 of all thoughts in the book
You are quite right! And imagine that here in Russia the things go around the same way as in America or anywhere in the world
About books... Try to read Victor Pelevin. The name of the book in Russian is something like "Chapaev I Pustota"
Although you will lose 2/3 of pleasure because of the translation, the thing is indeed in "must-read" list
Try also Nick Perumov - a perfect match for Tolkien
The book named "Wooden sword, diamond sword", but i saw no translation of it anywhere. Enjoy
Wonder if you ever looked out from your house since WWII
You'd notice that Russia is no longer a communistic country
And why do we have to respect you if you DO not respect us??
