- Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837) We, Russians, used to say that Pushkin is our everything (and is praised and loved much more than anyone else). Having died aged at just 37 years of age, this genius managed to cover an enormous amount of topics, genres and forms.
- Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) The first satiric and comedic writer, whose works are incredibly and paradoxically relevant even today. Gogol is an author of comedic plays that are still staged in theaters across the country.

- "Crime and Punishment," Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky’s other incredible classic is a deep-dive study of Russian society that remains surprisingly timely and eternally genius.
- "The Dream Life of Sukhanov," by Olga Grushin. Grushin’s novel doesn’t get the same attention as, say, "1984," but it’s just as horrifying in the way it outlines what it’s like to live in a dystopian dictatorship.
