"Generations of Winter" (in Russian, "Московская сага" - "Moskovskaya Saga") is a novel by Russian writer Vasily Aksyonov.

Many critics have praised "Generations of Winter" as a new "Doctor Zhivago" large-scale Russian novel, which tells the story of a Russian family Gradov struggling to survive in the Stalinist era.

As the "Wall Street Journal" has 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."

In late 2004, a TV-series based on the novel premiered on Russian television. It has 22 episodes.
