In Reply to: Okay, I'll bite. Which two Russian literary works are you alluding to? nt posted by tinear on September 16, 2009 at 12:19:52:
Our generation grew up literally peeing into our pants while reading these works, they were universally loved and broadly quoted, dozens upon dozens of their expressions became proverbs. The two authors had incredible sense of humor, typically associated with the Jewish inhabitants of the city of Odessa.
But we were still exposed to the Soviet reality the books described, even though some of it was already lost and nearly forgotten. Our kids, however, by and large, have no sense of that atmosphere, so they mostly "don't get it".
