Russian music for two pianos or 4 hands

[franz_]

Yeah, I'm looking for russian composers that wrote music for two pianos or 4 hands?
I'm looking for pieces or composers that are not overplayed or too famous.
Anyone?

Rachmaninov wrote some suites for two pianos.

Also Stravinsky 3 Easy Pieces and 5 Easy Pieces. In each case the "easy" refers only to one of the two parts: secondo for the 3EP, primo for the 5EP. Useful if you have 2 players with unequal abilities.

A couple of relevant titles—Music for Two or More Pianos by Maurice Hinson and Piano Duet Repertoire by Cameron McGraw—are available online at the publisher's website to anyone who registers there:

Piano Reference Books Online - Indiana University Press

No cost, no obligation (though most people will probably find that hard copies are easier to navigate).

Anyone else?

Nikolai Medtner: Two Pieces Opus 58.
There may be some audio samples at the Hyperion website played by Alexeev & Demidenko.

Thank you. Are you supposed to play those pieces together, or can they be separated?
Or belong they together like the three pieces in Petruchka, or in Scriabins Poems Op. 32 f.e.?
If you have more russian two piano music, keep op going
