Just finished the titular story. Going to be marinating in it for a while. How Tolstoy managed to fit *that* in 53 pages is incredible

Just finished The Raid & The Woodfelling, stories abt Tolstoy’s time volunteering in the RU army in the Caucasus. Read some articles and learned that Russian (RU) lit has been replacing Ukrainian (UA) lit in UA schools, and realized I’m passively doing the same by only reading the Russian/hegemonic canon no matter how pacifist it is. Adding UA and Crimean Tatar lit to the mix for their sides of the story
