Russian literature

Topic

Russian literature refers to the body of literary works written in the Russian language or by authors from Russia and its émigré communities. It is globally renowned for its profound philosophical depth and psychological realism, particularly during its 19th-century Golden Age led by figures such as Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. The tradition spans from early medieval religious texts to the complex political and social narratives of the Soviet and post-Soviet eras.
