Non-Russians don't necessarily know they should be interested.

I posted the review in Russian because I didn't expect any non-Russian speakers to be interested but after Cannoli posted a bad Google translate I decided to translate the whole thing into English.

He really should have gotten the Nobel for Literature over some others. Dylan for instance.
The problem of what does and doesn't get translated into other languages. If I were a non-Russian, I don't think I would know about him. When learning about Russian literature in college (university for you non-Americans), I do not recall him being mentioned. I only know of him from my own readings for fun.

He loomed large in the novel by Aksyonov I read relatively recently, A Mysterious Passion.

I must say, I don't think I'd heard of him before.

You'd be able to name Pushkin too.

Yes - wasn't counting him as 'modern'. Though I guess that depends where you draw the line.

He absolutely deserved it. Much more so than that Russian woman who got it recently.

From my understanding, that might be because she writes non-fiction? And is Belarusian? *NM*
