“Examiner” is the most famous comedy of Russian drama. This is more than just a satire on the bureaucracy of Nikolaev Russia. The heroes of the play are out of time, they live among us. Laughing at them, we laugh at ourselves.
“Nose” and “Overcoat” – masterpieces of “St. Petersburg Stories”. The Gogol ghosts are so realistic that the impression is created: it is they who are the true inhabitants of St. Petersburg.
“Taras Bulba” is the only work of Russian literature, which, in its entirety, expressed the Ukrainian character. The shocks described in the story opened the path to freedom to Ukraine, and the story itself opened Ukraine to the world.
