I am Russian and I am interesting for reading Russian books by Soviet period. It's not surely politics? but perhaps art, detectives, fantastic. Of course all soviet books was politicized. Soviet Union integrated many nations of Europe and Asia, therefor literature was international.
Such authors like Ayitmatov (art), Julian Semenov (detectives), Strugatskiye bros. (fantastic), Wainer bros. (detectives), A. Solzhenitsyn (dissidents).
What authors you know? Or, may be, read?

Hello there, your sentence construction makes it hard for one to understand what you're saying or asking. Copy that?

You should have written : I am Russian and interested in reading Russian books about the Soviet Union/ Soviet period. Do you think that it's mainly about politics or do the books have other themes? Which books have you read about the Soviet period and what themes are there?

I hope that's what you are asking.

Thank you for notification. I have no practice in English. But sometimes I am travelling and using Simple English. I trying to type in English automatically after secondary school and high school.
I am seeking a work now, and I want to open a new dimensions in my mind. May be new friends or pen-friends only. A little attention for me not hurt.

I can't say I've read Russian authors from the Soviet period. The only Russian author I've actually read is Dostoyevsky. Are there any Russian authors you would recommend for someone not very familiar with Russian literature?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but when it comes to Russian literature I'd always recommend Crime & Punishment or The Brothers Karamazov by Doestoevesky.

Could I suggest 'Dr Zhivago' by Boris Pasternak, which was a book before it was the (excellent) film.

Hi there, The Thirteenth Hour by John Lee is an older book....its about war sorry... but really one of the best I have read.

I have read several of Solzhenitsyn's books, but I know mainly the classics : Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov and Turgenev.

I have a good friend, a scientist, from CCCP. We worked together. I surprised him one day by reciting Krylov from memory. He was shocked that I knew Krylov and even more shocked that I could recite his poems. *LOL* But I was also shocked to learn that he had read Mark Twain, Steinbeck, Hemingway and many other American authors when he was a child in Russia.

Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita is my favourite from the Soviet era. An amazing piece of magical realism that is also very political.

I first picked it up when I was a teenager and it was unlike anything else I'd ever read.
