Russian classics
Great Slavic literature
Russian classics refers to the foundational literary works of Russian literature, particularly the great novels and plays of the 19th century: Tolstoy's *War and Peace* and *Anna Karenina*, Dostoevsky's *Crime and Punishment* and *The Brothers Karamazov*, Chekhov's plays and stories, Gogol, Turgenev, Pushkin.
The phrase evokes long, psychologically dense narratives wrestling with moral and spiritual questions: I spent the summer reading Russian classics.
