Yes, but the people that have read Moscow 2042 count in the numbers of fingers on the hand of carefree bandsaw user compared to the people that have read Crime and Punishment. Which when I read it I understood that I was punished, but had not idea what my crime was.

The only widely known fun book outside of Russia is Master and Margarita.

I pretty sure Chekhov (as an example) is widely known outside of Russia and he's master of short fun stories, no?

In fact I'd even say he's somewhat more popular in the West than in Russia.
