This list of Russian language novelists includes those authors who wrote much of their prose in the Russian language. Most of them were ethnic Russians, but some were of other ethnicities. This list as well includes those, who was born in the Russian Federation/ Soviet Union/ Russian Empire but later emigrated, and those, who was born elsewhere but immigrated to the country and created their literary works on the Russian soil. A novelist is defined here, in a broad sense of the word, as a prose writer who created some novels, or novellas or books of short stories.
