Subject: [SEELANGS] Crimes of Passion in Russian Literature

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone could give me suggestions for texts
of 
Russian fiction dealing with crimes of passion -- e.g. murder of 
adulterous spouses. I'm especially interested in examples from 20th-
century literature. Thanks for any help you can give me!
