Saturday's top ten - Russian authors

For the Saturday top ten this week the selection, in no particular order, is Russian writers. I love Russian history and the writing from the country reflects the realities of living during the turbulent times of both Tsarism and communism. Here are just a few of the writers that would have to make any top ten list. There are of course plenty more that wait to be read…

Dostoevsky
Solzhrnitsyn
Bulgakov
Gogol
Gorky
Chekhov
Pushkin
Tolstoy
Turgenev
Lermontov
