The revolutionary events of 1917, the Civil War and the victory of the Bolsheviks led to a mass exodus from Russia of people who did not accept the new power. As a result, Russian culture split into two parts - Soviet and emigre. Both gave the world many famous writers, both the classics of Soviet literature like Maxim Gorky or Alexei Tolstoy, and those who described pre-revolutionary Russia or the life of emigrants in their works, like Vladimir Nabokov, Gaito Gazdanov and Ivan Bunin. Will you be able to distinguish a Soviet writer from an emigrant based on the quotation? Test yourself with the RT test.
