Russian novels
Long Slavic fiction
Russian novels are lengthy, psychologically dense works of fiction by authors like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov, known for their philosophical depth, large casts of characters with difficult names, and themes of suffering and redemption.
The phrase often implies something dauntingly long or emotionally heavy: I don't have time for Russian novels right now.
