Can I ask why we're getting ANOTHER Anna Karenina?

I've made this comment a few times before, but now I'm getting annoyed. Please just stop printing Anna Karenina and give us something more original. There are hundreds of other Russian literature titles I'd absolutely love to see Folio publish...

This post might make it sound like I'm hating on Folio Society or just trolling, but I genuinely love Folio. About a quarter of my entire book collection is made up of Folio editions, and I've recommended Folio Society countless times on r/RussianLiterature. That said, it's become increasingly difficult to be a fan over the past few years.

Is there something upcoming with Battlestar Galactica?

I don’t follow this sub and I don’t really keep up with BSG. I watched Caprica for the first time just a few months ago, and I watched Battlestar Galactica when it originally aired.

However, I’ve been seeing clips and Shorts from the official BSG pages almost every day. Every time I open the app, there seems to be a new Short posted. I’m curious if they just got a new marketing guy or was something recently announced?

Has anyone seen the 2025 Dead Souls? Apparently, it's about a man who arrives in a small Arizona town searching for the names of deceased Mexican laborers.

I've read countless translations of Dead Souls, so I personally have no issue with a reimagined story. I was looking for upcoming showtimes for The Master and Margarita September 18th when I came across this. Unfortunately, the reviews are pretty rough.. I'm curious whether the movie is genuinely bad, or if people just don't like reimagining the story

I came across this artwork titled Winter Races on the Neva from 1859. What’s the most spectacular event you’ve ever seen (or heard about) taking place on a frozen Russian river?
