The most popular Russian book according to Russians
If you were to conduct a survey of college educated Russians about their favorite book, I can guarantee you that it's not going to be anything by Dostoevskij or, heaven forbid, Tolstoj that becomes the most frequent pick.
In fact none of those great Russian classics -- Checkhov, Gorkij, Tolstoj, etc -- will make it. They are very much admired by the Russian people, but rarely read outside of school.
I bet that the clear winner in such a survey would be
"Master and Margarita" (Ìàñòåð è Ìàðãàðèòà) by Bulgakov.
So if any of you want read what most Russians consider the greatest book of the 20th century, that's something you'd want to check out.
I'm not going to post any links to the free versions of this book in Russian and English, as it's against the policy of this site.
So if you're interested and can't find it on your own, you can always ask me in e-mail.
