Generations of Winter (in Russian, Московская сага - Moskovskaya Saga) is a novel by the Russian writer Vasily Aksyonov.
ManyTemplate:Quantify critics have praised Generations of Winter as a new Doctor Zhivago-style, large-scale Russian novel,Template:Citation needed which tells the story of a Russian/Georgian family, the Gradovs, struggling to survive in the Stalin era.
As the Wall Street Journal put it: "Aksyonov has ambitiously set out to challenge Tolstoy on his own ground, creating a gigantic historical novel on the grand pre-revolutionary model."
