Take "Voinovich" as an alternate spelling. Also you are missing some big names like Pasternak, Bulgakov, Sholokov, Blok, Babel, Akhmatova, Mayakovsky, Gorky, Mandelstam, Platonov,Pilnyak, Shalamov,Sholokov, Zamyatin, Sinyavsky. Don't forget that Lev Tolstoy and Chekhov also wrote into the 20th century, and where in many ways responsible for linking the Golden and Silver ages of Russian LIterature.

If it were just the big names, it would just be a 'list all the famous Russian authors you can' quiz. I like that these made me think.
