RE: I wouldn't be surprised if Russian novels are ignored -

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." --Ludwig Wittgenstein

Swedish playwright August Strindberg had a huge influence on Ingmar Bergman. To understand Bergman, and pretty much every Swedish artist, you probably have to understand Strindberg. Strindberg is an artist and personality of such magnitude in Sweden, he overshadows everything. There was even such a thing as a "Strindberg Feud."

Anyway, Bergman was the director at the Residenz-Theater of Munich, Germany, from 1977 to 1984. One of the plays he set up there was Strindberg's A Dream Play. "Det är synd om människorna" is repeated several times in the play. It cannot be properly translated into German. and it's virtually the soul of the play.

That doesn't mean people should stop watching movies in languages they don't understand. That would only make their world smaller.
