Does the scene where Ivan talks to the devil in the The Brothers Karamazov count as a monologue?

Yes.Ivan talks to an invisible being.

Ivan sees him, though, no? Well, if it counts as a monologue, it gets my vote.

She should have died hereafter; there would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, breif candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

William Shakespeare
Macbeth, act 5, sc. 5, l. 17-23.

Mine is also by Shakespeare. The part in Julius Caesar when Mark Anthony comes to collect Caesar's body.

Though I performed Brutus' monologue in school.
