I do not have an extensive knowledge of such arts as cinematic arts, visual arts and dramatic arts, but my knowledge of poetry and novels is more than general knowledge. I have read many of the existing works. If you take a look at Russian literature, you will suddenly realize that there is a curtain in the middle of it. That is to say, there is a separating wall. There are great works on both sides of this wall which belong to both sides. But when you take a look at the works of such authors as Sholokhov or Aleksey Tolstoy, you see that they have a different taste. Aleksey Tolstoy is a very good writer, and he has produced excellent novels. He was one of the pro-revolutionary writers of Russia, and his works contain the taste of modern times. You see the signs of Russian nationality in Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace", but you do not see the signs of the last 60 years. Leo Tolstoy's era was a different era and his work was a different work. Basically, his work belongs to a different place. What shows the modern character of Russia? The works of Sholokhov and Alexei Tolstoy and other such writers show this. Therefore, the artist of every era is the person who is brought up in that era and belongs to that era. Otherwise, those who belong to an earlier era and write from memory do not really belong to the era they live in.
