Abstract/Summary
The Russian realist authors Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn communicate the importance of questioning social conventions and religion in order to gain personal and political freedom and avoid living a mediocre life. They challenge readers to recognize selfish tendencies and strive to improve society.
