Your favourite Soviet writers

I know that Soviet literature, unlike classical Russian literature, is not very familiar to the average Western reader. In the binary picture of the world of many people, a Soviet writer means a primitive communist propagandist. Although, in my opinion, this is far from always the case. Since this subreddit is for literature lovers, the answers to my question are not exactly the answers of randomly selected people "from the street". I suppose that among the members of this community there are even people who are professionally interested in Soviet literature. And yet I would be very interested to know which of the Soviet writers do you know, which works of these writers have you read and which of them do you like. If we do not talk about Joseph Brodsky, Vladimir Nabokov and Doctor Zhivago of the absolutely wonderful poet Boris Pasternak, widely advertised in the West.
