Accounts of The Russian Front - from a Western perspective. Interesting as historical documents.
Actually very well written, emotionnal and fascinating.

Theatre - charming, of it's time - but also complex and astute.

This painter was very popular. I know this style very well.

If you are into painting, try Vasnetsov (esp. Sirin and Alkonost-imho this has a sinister black metal attitude).
