I did used to love Russian lit, the problem about rereading old favorites now is the cost of rebuying old favorites.

I do use Internet Archive on occasion but mostly for old and obscure trapper and pioneer books, I bought another copy of War and Peace though.

“The Mind of Modern Russia: Historical and Political Thought of Russia’s Great Age.” Edited by Hans Kohn. (New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press. 1955. Pp. xii, 281. $5.50.) - …
Had a course from Hans Kohn. It was truly memorable and led to a lifetime romance with 19th Century Russian literature.
