The Russian cultural world is one you cannot fathom, just reading the Russian classic literature will take approximately a lifetime. We Bulgarians are very proud to have shared the Cyrillic alphabet with the Rus.

I think no other can be compared with Russian poetry. I know some poets from Britain, France, Germany, the USA, but most of them do not reach the level of Pushkin, Lermontov, Yesenin and many dozens of others. The Russian language itself is very large and has dozens of almost identical words, each of which can show not only meaning, but also feelings. Because of such a wide choice, ideal rhymes appear. Pushkin could write a 100-sheet book in verse, and at the same time it would be ideal in terms of plot and rhymes, conveying feelings and emotions. English is much easier to learn than Russian, but it is weaker in content and capabilities. It's a pity that foreigners can't fully appreciate Russian poetry without translation - it's incredible.
Keep reading. You will surely find better poets.
When I needed to translate my fiction story into English at university, I had problems with the choice of words. Since we have a lot of synonyms that in English can mean something completely different or just similar, but not quite the same. And my long sentences made it even more difficult, it was almost impossible for me to understand where and how to put commas in English. A sentence could occupy a paragraph of 5-8 lines, with a bunch of complex parts and divide it into several - it meant killing the meaning and emotional tone of the text.
As a person from Russia, I advise you to read Ivan Efremov - "the hour of the bull". This book will tell you a lot about the situation in the world now.
@@veon_veon In terms of synonyms English is richer than Russian. It doesn't mean everything from Russian can be perfectly translated to English and vice versa. Anyway, I still prefer Russian poetry though.

Oh, c'mon! I thought no one would mention Dostoievski. That's the guy that made me interested in Russian culture when a professor of criminal law asked us to read Crime and Punishment and Karamazov Brothers.
The books u mentioned are just fantastic. I’ve already met so many foreign people who love our books and every time i asked them about them about their favorite - they answered something that Dostoevsky wrote. Literally the greatest Russian writer.
So great that people from other countries read our books. Hello from Russia :)

Dostoevsky inspired me to look beyond surface in russian culture, religion, politics and other aspects of their daily living. The reason why I get entangled and inlove with Russia. His profound thinking about God intervention and analysis of human existence and being is extraordinary! He is the greatest writer of all time!
I'm Italian and I read everything he wrote, every single novel. I do agree with you, Dostoevsky is the greatest writer of all time. So unfortunate I can't read him in Russian. I started with White Nights, and then I read all the others, and many other Russian authors. I also visited St Petersburg because I wanted to be in the city where most of his works are settled. I was there in July, probably more than 20 years ago, just after the white nights. If you didn't yet, please read Dead Souls by Gogol (he was from Ukraine), and another great book is Oblomov by Goncharov.
@@biomorphic Gogol was not from Ukraine, he was Little Russians and was originally from the Russian Empire
Shakespeare, Dostoevsky and Sophocles are the greatest writers of all time
Went to a Russian school when I was 13-15, in the literature class they talked about Pushkin and Chekhov so much that even I, who didn't understand Russian, have a great impression of them lol

Yes! There are so many Russian talents who were able to bring their knowledge to the world. Thank you for enlightening and not letting everyone forget that Russians cannot be hated and forgotten. Love and friendship rule the world. So let's not forget that we are all human beings!
Yeah right when you stop attacking and threatening other nations.
Thank you for these heartwarming words, every time i read comment section under such videos i feel so much love for people from other countries. So great that many people are interested in Russian culture and history. I really appreciate it. Thanks❤️
People that support a mafia style government and the slaughter and rape innocent women and children are not Humans, could not be further from being a Human. Love and friendship are not saving Ukrainians now, Russia refused to talk or be friends, now they will pay the heavy price for their crimes against humanity. Its not Russian Hate, there is over 6000+ war crimes documented already, these people are monsters. Just think how you would feel if an innocent family member of yours was killed or raped. Russians say life is good nothing is wrong, nothing change, its just a special operation, only military targets, and the Moskva ship just had a accidental fire after floating on its own for 43 years..... No one will will ever believe or trust Russia again, its going to drown in its lies, implosion is inevitable. Lets see what the result is after few years then decide how "good" the Russians are. Putin will be famous for leading his people back into economic and social isolation, and is most likely his goal for total control.
@@michael10282 Stay safe. Keep reading books.

Why is no one said Peter the Great. He literally turned Russia an Empire.
It's clear that Russians have good taste in literature.
Impressive how many Russian writers are all, simultaneously, considered the best in the world ever.
the thing is, that "best in world" is always someone's pesonal opinion. Some people could call Pushkin the best, some Dostoyevsky, some peopl would mention not russian writer. So all of them would be considered the best.
@@different_stuff Yeah, good point. Let's say, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Remarque are definitely between best internationally known authors.
That's what Russians love to say and what I used to hear on my torturous Russian literature classes, "they're famous to the entire world, the whole world reads them" while in reality only those who are acquainted with a world literature are familiar with them while vast majority are gonna be like pushwho? Kafka, Murakami, Goethe, Machiavelli, Firdausi, those are renowned
@@siratshi455 Nah. You're just being Russophobic. I'm from a small city in Mexico and I had heard of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy even when I was a kid. On other hand the vast majority of common people in the world don't know who Ferdowsi, Murakami or Goethe are
@@siratshi455 просто ты знаком с недалёким дураками
I’m happy so many people said: Yesenin. Shostakovich and Turgenev. That would be my choice. Best from Poland! :)
I didnt hear Shostakovitch and Turgenev?
I kept in mind Shostakovich all that time and was so dissapointed when did not heard about him.
@@sometimesidreamaboutcheese Shostakovich researcher here; I feel you!
Best from Russia for Poland) Most of the people who are present in the video have studied or are studying at humanitarian institutes. And there's nothing wrong with that, because I studied at a music school myself and you have no idea how difficult Chopin's works were given to me.))
Yesenin. The only poet that makes me cry. "Song of the Dog" just breaks the heart.
My 3 picks:
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Garry Kasparov
Daniil Medvedev
Russia has contributed a lot to the world, let's never forget that. I hope the world can become peaceful once again and that we can all be united as siblings.
I was looking for this comment :) I would also add Andrey Rublev, he is very good guy

As an Englishman I would say Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Yuri Gagarin first man in space.
Tchaikovsky has to be there.
Shostakovich was my first thought due to him being my favorite. But let's be honest, if asked, many in the west would say Stalin, Lenin, Trotsky etc
As a Russian, I would choose Darwin, Churchill, Orwell among the English
I heard one legend that another could fly for Gagarin's place, but they didn't take him because his first or last name had German roots. Awful. (google translation)
@@Rgyvgh interesting, I will look this up, thank you.
As Russian I’m literally shocked no one mentioned Gagarin. Seriously, what the hell?
Thanks that guy for Korolev though.
Also I’d probably choose Vrubel and Feshin. Or Roerich. Exellent artists.
Shostakovich and Tchaykovsky, Boris Grebenshikov - for their music and texts of songs.
And…Hell, it’s not easy to choose quickly, pool is really too big.
But I still don’t get lack of Gagarin!
but they have putin. /s
@@TheVimeo well, Herostratus is surely well known too)
Korolev was Ukrainian, from Zhitomir. Unless they meant it like "Russian Empire = Soviet Union = Russian Federation", which might make sense considering the number of people who said Stalin. Definitely surprised that no one mentioned Gagarin, though, especially right after April 12.
Edit: Don't want that to sound combative, especially considering current events. I just studied this stuff a lot and there's a strong trend to claim that the entire Soviet space program was Russian instead of people from many Soviet republics. Tsiolkovsky was Russian, Glushko was Ukrainian, Keldysh was Latvian, etc etc. The cosmonauts selected were almost all Russian at first, though. Gagarin, Titov, Komarov, Tereshkova.
@@Romagatyr родиться в украине не равно быть украинцем

And I've always admired Mendeleev, probably the best chemist in history.
probably not.
I think so
@@nnnnnn3647 who then? Maybe Maria Kuri only
yep, as a Russian i can say that his works are the fundament of all chemistry, nothing in chemistry can’t be done without his periodic table. Btw, do you use his periodic table in your schools and universities? I always wondered what kind of periodic table students from the west countries use. maybe there is another version of it even tho there are no need to make another one, some of elements in it are named after different people/cities/states and countries around the world so i guess his table is in used all around the world.
@@nagatopain8631 Maria Skłodowska- Curie was Polish 🇵🇱
This is a really interesting question, as are the answers. I'm old enough to remember when Gagarin was the most famous man in the world, when Solzhenitsyn was the most famous dissident and Gorbachev didn't stand in the way of the Berlin wall coming down. There's 3.
"я так стар, что помню, когда Собчак и Клинтон были ещё мужчинами"
i was surprised more people didnt answer Gagarin, guy did the most impressive thing in the history of mankind up to that point.
Solzhenitsyn was sadly a far-right figure in the early post-Soviet era who was mostly well known for promoting "Russki Mir" bs than his famous works about Stalinist oppression and gulags.

I'm Russian and my answeres would be Yuri Gagarin, Alexander the second and Sergei Prokofiev. Don't know why no one mentioned Gagarin, he is the first man who comes to my mind if someone says "famous Russian".
Idk I'd name Pushkin first. Next one might be Gagarin and also Dostoevsky for being really famous writer across the world nowadays
Gagarin was all propaganda bro, he never went into space (sarcasm)
Being Ukrainian - I am still proud of Gagarin for USSR achievements. (as much as I hate USSR and Russia now - their space programme was great)
@@madkir8206 As a Russian my choice: Gagarin,Dostoevsky,Tarkovsky.....
@@arleitiss true but ours is in a deep ass now lol
Seems like you don't hate Russians or Americans directly, that's great really. Many people would hate them a lot in your place, I guess
After the first three, I was thinking of others, but all I could remember of Gagarin was his first name, Yuri. It made me sad to think of him, though, because it reminded me of Laika.
it is so interesting to read the opinions of foreigners about the country, traditions, values, and about people in principle.
I think its really great

As a Russian person, I can say that I really admire Russian literature and Art in general.
All my childhood I was fascinated by the works of Pushkin and Lermontov.
In high school, I was struck by the work "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky and the play "The Cherry Orchard" written by Chekhov!
I would also like to mention the wonderful Soviet cinematography and music!
Russian Culture is extremely amazing and magical in its own way.. I am glad that I was born a creative person and I hope that in the future I will make a useful contribution in this life!
I recently started to watch Russian cinema and was blown away by the quality of the acting and writing. The literature had me from an early age, but I was not exposed to it in school-unfortunately.
3:19 I'm so happy that Sviridov got mentioned! He's my favorite composer. If you love beautiful music you should definitely get to know his works.

Nice selection at 5:22.
My favorite famous Russian is Natalia Osipova. I'm surprised no ballet dancer was named, Russian ballerinas are so out of the world
She hasn't danced in Russia for a number of years... she's been in London for a long time. If this question were asked in the Soviet Union, Galina Ulanova and Maya Plisetskaya would have been named.
Ballet is more popular for older generation i guess.
Even a beautiful ballerina is difficult to put on a par with Pushkin or Yesenin. Different measurements.
she is amazing
This was also the best selection for me. I already know I would like to be friends with her.

I have such a great admiration for the Russian people, they have so much culture, also the young people have very good education. The current situation is very sad, of course for the people of Ukraine, but also to some extent to the Inhabitants of Russia. I pray, that the war will end very soon, without Ukraine giving up its sovereignty, and that Russia will be embraced again in the World-Society. Unfortunately this all seems to be wishful thinking at this very moment, but we should not give up our hopes and dreams
YES … A RAPIST, A KILLER AND A MASS MURDERER 😂😂😂
It will happen someday. Nothing is permanent.
Well, Germans were readmitted to the human race after WWII so yes, Russians will return.
Putin is mortal. Thanks God.

This was super interesting! As a Kenyan, my responses would have been Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and unfortunately Putin because I couldn't remember Navalny's name. This video also reminded me of Tchaikovsky, who would have been my preferred 3rd person to name.
I too would've said Putin. Like it or not, he is a famous and important person. Your other guys were good, though!
Ah Kandinsky, one of my favourite abstract artists. Tolstoy again another great Russian writer, reading Anna Karenina at school had a profound impression on me. One of my favourite films as well by the amazing Alexander Sokurov is Russian Ark, as well as Faust. Russia is enriched with culture.
Kandinsky is a favourite of mine. I have no prints by him but did have at my previous home. Unfortunately they were lost in transit.
@@robshepherd3782 you can thank my parents for there influence in regards to Russian art. I bought my dad a print of ‘Circles in a Circle’ by Kandinsky, which he proudly displays in his study. I always love going to the Tate London to see his work.

@@sometimesidreamaboutcheese I can honestly say Russian Ark is a film that you’ll never forget. Rich in history, aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and just overall soothing. It’s a experience you need to watch once in your life
Tolstoy's War and Peace is the first Russian literature I read. the only reason I started reading Tolstoy was my teacher mentioning him in class.
This was an excellent video for reminding the world about the many famous Russians who have contributed to the arts and sciences. Interesting that there were not many famous Russian women mentioned, if any at all. Did anyone mention any of these three women: Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, Anna Pavlova, Sofia Vasilyevna Kovalevskaya, Anna Akhmatova?
Tereshkova is a very bad woman. Don't compare her with Akhmatova.
As a Russian, I have no respect for Tereshkova. She was chosen as the first female cosmonaut for political reasons of her working-class background among more capable and educated women. She shamefully failed her mission and the aforementioned Korolev swore that under his leadership there would no longer be a single woman in space, and he kept his promise. After the flight, she became an ordinary Soviet deputy and has remained so ever since. Her latest initiative as a deputy from Putin's "United Russia"party is to reset Putin's terms so that he rules Russia at least until 2036. So fuck her.
Unfortunately, Tereshkova at this point supporting oppressive regime (for example, she was the one who publicly supported the idea of reseting presidential terms, which made Putin literally the eternal president). I can't tell is she really believe in modern Putin regime, or she's just old misguided woman. I'm not eliminating all of her achievements of the past, she is still and forever keep her status as the great cosmonaut, but considering everything the regime doing right now, I won't condone her actions and public position.
Fun fact (not really) about Korolev is that he was in GULAG, where he barely survived, but in the end he and his family (his daughter for example - you can hear her story in the Yuri Dud's video about Kolyma (Kolyma - Birthplace of Our Fear) on YT) were still supporting Stalin. So yeah, great people are still people.

Pushkin seemed to be the most named. Strange that only one person named Dostoyevsky, though.
В русских школах Пушкину уделяют много времени, начиная с младшей школы. Достоевского школьники проходят в средней и старшей школе)
That's cause without Pushkin there would be no Dostoevsky)
That’s funny the Pushkin poem about the anger of finnish waves no longer hit Leningrad or some shit. Oddly my blood’s been boiling lately…
Pushkin is a huge part of internal Russian propaganda. Yet is unknown abroad. Stalin started this.
Dostoevsky is famous as well, but Pushkin is literally iconic in Russia. We even call him "the sun of russian poetry"
It's hard to translate poems and save the beauty of the language and metaphors, so that's why he is probably not as famous outside Russia as another artists
Surprised no one mentioned Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, he's one of my favourite compositors
This was interesting because many persons listed names I hadn’t’t heard of…not just the names of famous writers, composers and politicians which would have come to mind to most foreigners
Thank you for this. I have not studied famous Russians, but your country has an impressive list of artists, authors, and scientists. I probably knew about one third of them.
There are so many great Russian people who have contibuted to the Arts and to Science throughout the centuries. Russian people should not be cancelled and I hope that the artists, scientists and writers continue to propel mankind forward and inspire those who will follow.

My first Russian to name would be Tolstoy, not only for the books he wrote but his influence on Gandhi (with the message of non violence)which then became an influence on Martin Luther King, Jr. His endless seeking of answers and walking around the countryside!
As a Westerner, I first thought of Chekhov, Tschaikowsky and Dostoevsky. Interesting to have my horizons broadened.
Yesenin is a miracle even for Russians. But it is impossible to translate into English while maintaining the rhythm, meaning and shades, alas. Like Pushkin. You have one word for a girl, and we have at least 20. And all girls will be different. And all twenty words will have same root :)
So glad I subscribed to this channel, unfortunately because of the world events, but you guys bring such interesting content!
Not Russian but my three before clicking this video: Bulgakov, Turgenev, Ilya Repin (who was Ukrainian born but mostly referred to as Russian, I believe). Super interesting to learn about a lot of these other figures (especially contemporary) that I didn't know of before!

I was waiting for Vysotskiy, my mum introduced me to his music. His stuff is great, and we also share a surname with him: Wysocki. :)))

@@ganievtj1721 Согласен, тут ещё и видос можно было более конкретным сделать. Типо разделить на несколько роликов и сделать например: 3 музыканта, 3 писателя, 3 ученых и ещё пару направлений наберется.

Wait wait wait.. no one mentioned 'Yuri Gagarin' the first human in space!?! Shocking!!
The question was about celebrities, not global celebrities. I was more surprised by how many people called writers, poets, and not representatives of pop culture.
It's propaganda bro don't trust the Russians
Ukraine is the first man in space
No one(except 2-3 person) mentioned women?! What a real shock!!
I'm surprised Dostojevski was mentioned only once! I would say he's the most famous Russian!
in my opinion he was mentioned only once because he's too popular here.. some people might think its too basic to name him when asked this question
@@ttyaaa You're probably right because everybody obviously knows him! And as a foreigner it was interesting to hear about other famous Russians than just hearing Dostojevski being mentioned several times.
@Владислав самый после Толстого
I am from Russia and we really have Pushkin, Yesenin, Tolstoy more popular than Dostoevsky, although Dostoevsky is also loved and even included in the school curriculum :)
No,in Russia more popular Pushkin,Yesenin or Tolstoy
I'm Russian and my answeres would be Kamila Valieva ( Russian figurist, Olympic champion ( for Russians she win) ) , Alexandra Kostenuk ( Russian chess player) , Ekaterina Shylman ( Russian modern political scientist). I am proud of my country, because there are a lot of talented people in all fields here (of course there are some where we are not the first). But three people is not enough for Russia.
Hi I'm from Croatia and although its very hard to pick 3 most famous of all famous Russians I'll pick Mikhail Lermontov (especially because his work - Герой нашего времени), Andrei Tarkovsky (no need explaining that) and Garry Kimovich Kasparov as one of the greatest chess masters ever, also because of his political views and actions and last but not least he has a Croatian passport so he is my compatriot. If that counts because he is from Jewish-Armenian family :)
Hi! I'm pleasantly surprised that some foreigners know Lermontov)
The first names that came to mind: Broz Tito, duet 2Cellos and Novoselic from Nirvana :)
But honestly first thing I remembered was Croatian seaside with its amazing turquoise water and poetic landscapes ^^
Best wishes! 🙏
@@glaya7548 Hi! Probably you're right about Lermontov as a majority of foreigners would probably say Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Tolstoy, Pushkin, Gorky but I really like works of Lermontov (brings me some nice memories and could again easily visualize beautiful Caucasus mountains and plains between two ranges).
Since you mentioned him, Josip Broz was truly one of the greatest Croats respected world wide. Not exactly my music taste 2Cellos guys, but there's a ton of good music across the Balkans, sadly not that popular (You hit on the spot with Chris Novoselic, I like grunge and always exploring all kinds of music from all over the world). For instance Soviet funk music from the 70' was a big surprise! :)
Thank you for your kind words about seaside! It is beautiful and the sea is still crystal clear and harmless (There are no dangerous species or at least lets say it is more probable a plane will land on top of your head than you'll get bitten by a shark). The coastal cities are well preserved with lots of history from Roman times onwards.
Kind regards and you're more than welcome coming back to Croatia and enjoy whatever you like! 💓

Why none of the Kostroma residents mentioned their countryman Andrei Tarkovsky? 🙂
I'm surprised too. As a Russian, I'd mention Tarkovsky, Mayakovsky and Bulgakov

Chagall, Chekhov, Nureyev, the cubist woman painter who died young, is it Popova? Pasternak, Spassky. I am from the deeply Cold War era. We only got little glimpses of Russia. But I did get to see Nureyev in London when he was a young man, and half way around the world from there I got a prize of Chekhov short stories two or three years later. The only prize I ever won! Though we had this very restricted view of Russia (even our atlases did not show more than the barest information about Russia or China) my school did have a Russian language teacher and we had a very generous donation of books by Russian authors, not all the famous ones but children’s authors too. This must have been unusual for the time. I did not learn Russian myself, but avidly read as many of the books as I could. One was about a girl exactly my age and she worried about the same thing I did. Then I moved around the world to where there was no TV and except for pantomime spies in movies that was it till glasnost. Or was it perestroika? I would hate to see the windows shut again, and hope the young people of Russia will be able to weather the current crisis. This was the most interesting of these videos, even though it was not really about these times. We rarely see the creativity of Russia, even these days. We are still mostly seeing athletes and dancers and genius classical musicians. But it has been good to see your respondents who like the girl in my library book are not really that different, they just have different rules they have to live by.
Смущает, что Толстого не было.

As a Russian, I also shocked no one said Gagarin. He is always my number one.

The greatest living russian is Grigori Perelman.

Thanks for this video ❤️ so many great people 🔥🔥🔥
They could've named a lot more famous scientists and engineers and mathematicians, Russia has a lot of those
I'm surprised no one mentioned Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov who was a Soviet and Russian lieutenant general, inventor, military engineer, writer, and small arms designer. He is most famous for developing the AK-47 assault rifle and its improvements, the AKM and AK-74, as well as the PK machine gun and RPK light machine gun.
Not a good time for guns, i think
@@ershov.d.s Depending on who you ask, I suppose.
Russians are mainly proud with their culture and historical heritage, they are also taught reading these books in schools. Engineers.. Not so much. Mendeleev is known, because his story is told on chemistry classes, his name is used when people reffer to periodic table, as "Mendeleev's Periodic Table". Some similar things to physicists, person, who invented radio, lightbulb (specifically from Russia). Sakharov, because of course. Gagarin, even though not a scientist, but it is close, Korolev. And those are generally all I can remember from top of my head
This is what outsider always thinks either soviet era addict or just plain only know about military stuff.
Kalashnikov himself said that it would be better if he invented a vacuum cleaner than a deadly weapon, but for us the word Kalashnikov means an automatic machine and not a creator) it’s a pity that they didn’t say about Anatoly Karpov or Garik Kasparov
I like this kind of vids!! You should ask for 3 famous foreign ones.... french, chinese, american, italian, german, turkish, japanese. There are a lot of famous russians, only in culture...Tchaikovsky, Tolstoy, Dostoevskij, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimskij-Korsakov, Pasternak, Turgenev, Shostakovich.... so much!!
The funniest thing that you chose song from commercial to represent Baskov!
I would say: Sergey Brin (co-founder of Google), Garry Kasparov (one of the greatest chess players of all time), and Andrei Mironov (soviet actor)
Kasparov isn`t from russia.

4:18 Cringe zoomer detected
true
А как же Пушкин
I am from Venezuela and I'd say Tchakowsky, Tolstoy and Vladimir Shklyarov (big fan of him, he is my favourite ballet dancer)
i would also say Nabokov, Tsoi and Roerich, also it´s weird that no one said Gagarin, Sharapova, Catherine the Great, Peter the Great, Solzhenitsyn, Tarkovsky, Malevich, Aivazovsky, Gaidai
damn i just realized that this list could go on for ages, what Russia is doing right now makes me so sad because i appreciate our culture so much, but our current government is doing everything to discredit it
Isn't Nabokov American?
If not then you could include many more like Ayn Rand and Sikorsky.
@@mastersafari5349 Nabokov had dual citizenship, and the first success came to him when he lived in the Crimea. Russian Crimea. :)
Tsoi 🖤🖤🖤🤗
Лицом к лицу - лица не увидеть. Нужно время. Все встанет на свои места.
Pushkin, Tchaikovsky, Aivazovsky :) We can change last one to Pyotr I who built my city (Saint-Petersburg) since it was brought to my attention Aivazovsky's ethnicity was Armenian. Though Pushkin is not my overall favourite poet I think he is the most "famous", in world and in Russia itself. His poem "To Chaadaev" is extra relevant now.
Tchaikovsky's house destroyed by Russian army in north-east Ukraine a few days ago, utterly destroyed
@@tony--james This is horrible, as all destruction that is happening. Even if Russia manages to pay reparations after war many things can never be returned, as lives as also historical/important buildings. Inside Russia there is a "Z" on a museum dedicated to blockade of Leningrad now. Utter disrespect. We all learned in school how horrible it was and now same thing is being done by us to another nation and f***ing celebrated.
Aivazovsky was Ukrainian-Armenian artist not Russian.
Tchaikovsky was of Ukrainian cossack descent (from cossack family of Chaika which is Ukrainian for seagull the bird), visited Ukraine a lot, regarding it as his true motherland despite being born in ethnic russian territories. He wrote many pieces inspired by Ukrainian history and culture.
@@voleksandr7065 Thank you for clarification, checked it in wiki, says he was born in Armenian family in Ukrainian territory in Russian empire and studied in Saint Petersburg, so I assume we can say he is Armenian by ethnicity and would be Ukrainian by nationality if it had an independent status at the time. I can adjust my list though you can say that about a lot of Russian famous people, for example Gogol is a very Ukrainian author (I say "very" because it is not only in his identity but also can be seen in some of his books though they are written in Russian) but is considered a Russian writer if you look him up. Most of us are part Ukrainian part Russian too. Honestly it is a hard question in itself what it means to be "Russian" because it was an empire then USSR for so long we are all mixed by now. If you ask about nationality or ethnicity. Pushkin is the most famous Russian and he is part African. Stalin is Russian but he is not Russian, he is Georgian. I am Russian but my dad's part of the family comes from Ukraine and Chuvashia and mom's seems to be Russian but with a Polish surname for some reason. Etc. There are still some areas of Russia that in my opinion could be their own countries but for now are considered "Russian" (examples: Kalmykia, Yakutia).
For all music lovers:
-- Sergey Lemeshev - tenor. Perfect in each (!) music genre. Whether it folk song or opera aria. He had very beautiful, unforgettable tone of voice. Even the way he walked on stage -- when I first saw him -- was absolutely genius.
The love from the first sound. The best Lensky.
-- Galina Vishnevskaya - great opera singer, soprano. She was brilliant Tatyana in Eugene Onegin. I guess no one sing better the scene with nurse (after letter scene) and the final scene in Onegin. And she was also incredible Katerina Izmaylova.
-- Nina Dorliak -- opera and lieder singer, soprano. She had not strong, but very flexible and expressive voice. Unfortunately we haven't a lot of her records.
I'm totally in love with her voice-leading.
I love her and Richter versions of german composers songs.
Bist du bei mir, Mein gläubiges Herze, die Krähe, Im wunderschönen Monat Mai... What a pleasure and yearning for hearing.
I would add Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, his mystical works are simply fascinating, who have not read it, I definitely recommend it. I would also call Ivan Andreevich Krylov with his magnificent fables, it was through the humor of his fables that he conveyed the meaning of life to ordinary people. About greed, about goodness.. among the composers I would recommend Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky - a great Russian composer-storyteller, musical creative, lyricist, whose music is filled with national flavor and originality. In the world, Mussorgsky is adored for his "Pictures from the exhibition", as well as for "Night on Bald Mountain", which seem to Western people incredibly creative compositions. Also, a considerable contribution to the "promotion" of Mussorgsky's music in the West was made by the French composer Maurice Ravel, who orchestrated the "Pictures from the exhibition" written by Mussorgsky for piano.
At the very end someone mentioned My very favourite Fyodor Michailovich Dostoyevskij. No one mentioned my other two favourites though, but I will: Maksim Gorkij and Ivan Turgenyev!
If you start listing the most famous writers, then there will be a dozen or two. In Russia they love Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. But there are other equally great ones. These two are not my favorite. Gogol, Bulgakov, Chekhov, Kuprin are no worse.
@@vadimlutskov500 true. Chekhov is an absolute Master of writing
Gorkij is great. Pleased you know him
These videos are very interesting. I'm currently reading Tolstoy. The death of Ivan Ilyich I found particularly moving.
