| Mnementh said: One of the authors I like to read is Sergei Lukyanenko. He was born in Kazakhstan, at the time part of the Soviet Union. He now lives in Moscow. In the Soviet Union both are part of the same country, now they aren't. Doesn't that feel strange for people, that you move in one country and sudenly it is a different country? And if I talk about Lukianenko - why Russian Science Fiction is that good, starting with the Strugatzkis. |
If I'm not mistaken, he's also an ethnic Ukrainian. That is what to be a Russian: To be a Science Fiction writer, who is Ukrain born in Khazahstan, and educated by Soviet. )))
I like Lukjanenko's books. Strugatskie's - not so much, but of course they a science fiction classics in Russia.
We had a good science fiction school in Soviet Union. Beliaev is great writer also (a bit old fashioned but still). In Soviet Union people thought that in space will be communism and brotherhood of people, but not Star Wars... ((
