A poet in Russia is more than a poet. This flying phrase by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is repeated by everyone who is not lazy when talking about poetry. For some reason they don't say that about fiction writers. This is unfair. A fiction writer in Russia is more than a fiction writer. It even happens that he is more than science fiction itself. Not all of them, of course. The circle of such writers is small. Ivan Efremov, the Strugatsky brothers, Vladislav Krapivin, Kir Bulychev, Boris Stern, Mikhail Uspensky... Evgeny Lukin rightfully belongs to this rare minority. For him, fiction is a device like Leskovsky's small-scope: look through its peephole and see that there is a key lying near the flea on the tray. To read the writer Lukin is a joy and pleasure. Joy from the quality of his prose, pleasure - from the buffoonish atmosphere in which his characters dwell. You read it and see how suddenly you from the page then wink slyly Gogol, then twist a finger at the temple Saltykov-Shchedrin, then wag somewhere between the chapters tail cat Behemoth. Lukin's first stories and novels were written together with Lyubov Lukina, the writer's wife, alas, in forty-six years of untimely death. If you start counting all the prizes and awards that Lukin received since the beginning of his writing career, you will lose track of somewhere in the fifth or sixth dozen. He has over a hundred of them. "Aelita", "Wanderer", "Bronze Snail", "ABS-premium", Interpresscon, Roskon, named after Ivan Efremov, Belyaev Prize, "Golden Ostap" and a variety of others. Even "Literaturnaya Gazeta" once announced him as the winner of the "Golden Calf" award for his ironic poems. And in 2015 Lukin was awarded the honorary title of Grandmaster of European Fiction.
