It was more in chronological order, rather than in terms of quality

I tried to think chronologically, but some of the earlier poets ended up later in the list, and after I exhausted the list of things that "HAD" to be there, I went back to other works by the same authors. I could have gotten to 100 easily if I started adding shorter works, like Pushkin's Medny Vsadnik or Tsygane, or Kuprin's Legkoe Dykhanie, or Zolotoy Telenok by Il'f and Petrov.
I should have also mentioned that the names were in Russian whenever the English translation was unknown to me or varied enough.

So Vladimir Putin wants a canon of 100 Russian books for all Russians to be required to read

I was wondering if you'd have to include Sholokhov there

I think it's probably safe to conclude from that list...

Oh, nevermind, I'd overlooked his plays there on the 16th position. Ignore what I said.

I suspect she, like me, read a little too fast and wrongly thought she'd found an omission. *NM*
