Russian novelists

Writers of lengthy fiction from Moscow's land

Russian novelists are writers of novels from Russia, particularly associated with the nineteenth-century literary tradition that produced Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, and Gogol.

The phrase evokes psychological depth, moral seriousness, and considerable length: I don't have time to read Russian novelists right now.

Someone described as writing like a Russian novelist favors dense prose and existential themes.
