Daniil Kharms OP.
There's a collection of short stories called 'Today I Wrote Nothing'
Here's an excerpt:
There was a redhead man who had no eyes or ears. He didn't have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily. He couldn't talk because he had no mouth. He didn't have a nose either. He didn't even have arms or legs. He had no stomach, he had no back, no spine, and he didn't have any insides at all. There was nothing!
So, we don't even know who we're talking about.
We'd better not talk about him any more.

I second Andrei Platanov. Read The Foundation Pit or any of his short stories.

"Mersi Shelli"
"She" (though it was really a group for collaborating trolls) has written some pretty good cyberpunk. And it is actually pretty easy to read even if you only know Russian at an intermediate level.
