You'll notice that every single one of those authors name-drops Pushkin in almost every single one of those works at least once, he was like the Shakespeare of Russia. Obviously you'll want to check him out.
That's like the Russia's Greatest Hits /lit/ essentials list if you want mad street cred. Obviously there are many more worth your time
Also Solzhenitzin is kind if a meme rn so check out One Day in the Life if Ivan Denisovich and The Gulag Archipelago if you feel so inclined.
