I haven't digested a TON of Russian classics, but I did love everything I've read from Dostoevsky: The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, The Double, The Gambler, and Crime and Punishment. He was sort of one of my first big obsessions. It's been so long I need to revisit literally all of these.

Loved The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov

Chekhov's The Seagull 

Oblomov by Goncharov

Fathers and Sons by Turgenev

 

In terms of shorter works, My First Goose by Isaac Babel (his short stories in general are dope, but this was the first and it left an impression on me).

 

(Additionally, not all these are existential)
