Krapivin Prize, and others). He is the author of "The Laughter of the Fox," "Ubyr," "Until February," "It's Too Late to Be Afraid," and others.
The best of these articles have now been collected in a single book. It turns out that some of them form a brief but fascinating history of Russian science fiction, spy fiction, and young adult literature, while others provide a frank and detailed account of the origins and processes of characters, plots, and books.
The Strugatsky brothers and Kir Bulychev, Vladislav Krapivin and Viktor Konetsky, Eduard Verkin and Alexey Salnikov, Mikhail Uspensky and Alexey Ivanov, Yegor Letov and Rudyard Kipling, Leonard Peltier and Dr. Heider, cosmonauts and spies, imperialists and refuseniks, as well as many other creators and heroes of gripping stories—this book is about them.
And a little about the author. Who, in fact, didn't want to say anything.
