Greatest Russian Novels of All Time

Russia's output of great literature over two centuries is nothing short of miraculous. Having endured tyranny under their czarist regime, as well as great suffering during two world wars and under Joseph Stalin, it seems unlikely that they would have time for sure monumental, soul-searching novels.
