It turns out that in Europe and the United States the names of Russianswriters are no less recognizable than the names of native writers. Many of the Russian geniuses even enjoy great popularity outside of Russia. Many are certainly familiar with Dmitry Glukhovsky's "Metro". Both works of the dilogy literally became a sensation in the world of modern Russian literature. And later it turned out that the story of the large-scale tragedy caused by the nuclear war in Moscow, which forced the survivors to hide in the metro and fight for "domination in a new world," caused a considerable furore in Germany. There, with success, over a quarter of a million copies of Metro 2033 and Metro 2034 were sold. However, the German reader prefers not only the stories of survival in the post-apocalyptic world of Glukhovsky, but also the detectives of Polina Dashkova, who can paint the life of the modern Russian people in all their colors. Books of our compatriot are sold in Germany since the 2000s. Already there are over a million copies sold. With the same pleasure in Germany they read the novels of Lyudmila Ulitskaya. Her particularly successful novel "The Through Line" sold 150,000 copies. Probably the most foreign reader in the works of Ulitskaya is clinging to her universal themes and the humanistic philosophy with which she treats them. It is amazing how through the female destinies described in her works, the most acute problems are solved. In addition, Lyudmila Ulitskaya is popular not only in Germany: every year in Hungary, more than ten thousand copies of her works are sold, and in France - over twenty thousand. Another Russian writer, Nikolai Lilin, seems to have forever conquered Italy and the hearts of its readers with his work "Siberian Education," in which he describes the tragic fate of the Siberian tribe, a lesson destined for life in a foreign country by the brutal and implacable Stalin in the far 30s of the last century. In 2013, the Italian director Gabriele Salvatores shot the same film with John Malkovich in the title role. It is impossible not to say that Russian classical literature had much greater success in foreign countries than today's. Thus, L.N. Tolstoy, M.A. Bulgakov, B.L. Pasternak, F.M. Dostoevsky, A.P. Chekhov and the works of these literary geniuses, like many other Russian writers, still remain in the hearts of millions of foreign readers.
