Hey, /lit/. I've been on a Russian literature binge recently, and I want more.
I've read the following:
Dead Souls/Collected Tales - Nikolai Gogol
Double/Short Stories/Notes/C&P/Idiot/Possessed/B.K. - Dostoevsky
W&P/Anna Karenina/Death of Ivan Lynch/Short Stories - Tolstoy
Ward no. 6 and Other Stories - Anton Checkhov
I need more, /lit/.
Picture pretty related, it's my cat enjoying Gogol.

I stole Ward no. 6 and Other Stories from a psychiatric hospital's library. It's the most ironic thing that I've ever been a part of.

I expected most of those to be difficult to acquire, like the aforementioned Sologub, but I'm pleased to see that a lot of them are available as Penguin Classics.

Fuck yeah Russian lit.

Read Brothers Karamazov. I've read most of the books you listed, and Brothers K surpasses them all. It was truly Dostoevsky's masterpiece.

Read it. I listed it as "B.K." because I didn't want to type it all out, but I was wondering if it would be miscommunicated.

Ah, my bad. Carry on!

"House of the Dead" and "Poor Folk" both by Dostoevsky. They are great additions to any collection of Russian lit, if not essentials. Very nice reading choices so far!
