gogol

Namely, gogol search is no more a web site by a whatng cartel web app.

Gogol is part of the whatng cartel with its blink web engine, but that case is more accute with gogol because they own very dominant IP based services which apple and mozilla don't have.

If I did manage to find them without even gogol search engine, I bet you can manage.

Yep, there are still people trying to do the right(tm) thing at gogol.

The 19th century Russians from Gogol to Chekhov are pretty much can't-lose.

Well, if true, those people at gogol did the right thing...

I'd say there's a lineage: Gogol - Bulgakov - Pelevin.

There are 2 webs: web apps, requiring a gigantic-enormously-complex(SDK included) [java|ecma]script web engines: only available from the whatng cartel, webkit (mostly apple), geeko(mozilla), blink (gogol, fork of webkit).

It is getting worse, it is said web apps are more and more requiring only one web engine to 'properly work' (often gogol blink), and suspicions are very strong at this is made _on purpose_ (I remember the day when gmail.com did disable their noscript/basic (x)html web interface...

Pushkin, the author of "The Queen of Spades" actually gave an initial idea of "Dead Souls" to Gogol.

Please also give it a try and read Gogol's "Dead Souls".

I will force you to use one web engine of our whatng cartel, even if they had been working decades more than fine with alternative classic noscript/basic (x)html browsers." Remember, not so long ago, gogol was paying billions apple in order to get their browsers to default on gogol...

"There were never any good old days, they are today, they are tomorrow" - that's a line from a Gogol Bordello song that's always resonated with me and helps me put that feeling of having wasted my life so far into perspective.

Here’s an example: Tolstoy really admired Turgenev, who was friends with Theodore Storm and Gustave Flaubert, and greatly admired Gogol.

Also, Gogol's Chichikov is a better metaphor for the dysfunctional corpo software dev than Akakyevitch...

No Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gogol, Kakfa (I know he's not Russian but still)...the list is far beyond lacking, but what can you do.
