@mtaibbi it is basically the story of the summer of 2020, to a shocking degree

Some people can’t get into “Demons” but it’s incredibly funny and as you say, unfortunately very relevant now.

@mtaibbi Anna Karenina is incredible. My favorite Russian novel is Demons, but many would find it inaccessible. It is stunningly relevant to our era though.

That said, the Anna Karenina quote about how everything the idle crowd did was for the S Slavs is also perennially relevant.

The statement 'Lol totally yes' is a lighthearted, conversational reply that does not substantively engage with public issues, debates, or discussions. It is part of a casual conversation about Russian literature and does not address societal issues, policies, or public concerns.
