Modern russian lit is shit as far as i know, mostly it's stalker fanfics (yeah they are being released to the bookstores in large amounts and people buy them) or some absolutely surreal shit about commies, stalins, his clones, brave red army with laser hovertanks and evil aliens. Yeah. At least that's what I see in stores. Btw I'm russian.

21st century[edit]
In the 21st century, a new generation of Russian authors appeared differing greatly from the postmodernist Russian prose of the late 20th century, which lead critics to speak about “new realism”.[24] Having grown up after the fall of the Soviet Union, the "new realists" write about every day life, but without using the mystical and surrealist elements of their predecessors.

The "new realists" are writers who assume there is a place for preaching in journalism, social and political writing and the media, but that “direct action” is the responsibility of civil society.[citation needed]

Leading "new realists" include Ilja Stogoff, Zakhar Prilepin, Alexander Karasyov, Arkadi Babchenko, Vladimir Lorchenkov, Alexander Snegiryov and the political author Sergej Shargunov

You can read some pelevin or sorokin if you aren't sick of fucked-up-on-drugs shit yet.

For a while I wondered how one can possibly write a fanfic about Stalker until I've realized you're probably talking about the videogame.

Russian literature peaked in the 19th century, but that doesn't make it dead any more than English literature has been dead since the middle of the 17th century.
