	Elana Gomel- The Poetics of Censorship: Allegory as Form and Ideology in the Novels of Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
		I concentrate precisely on those elements in the Strugatskys’ oeuvre that are partially hidden under the veneer of conventional sf plots, settings, and themes, yet run counter to them, constituting another layer of meaning that demands a particular reading protocol which is not automatically available to all interpretative communities.
		The fact that at the height of perestroika the Strugatskys were still preoccupied with the poetics and politics of allegory points out the structural importance of the mode in their work.
		I have discussed the generic spectrum of the Strugatskys’ oeuvre as bounded at one end by pure allegory, at the other by pure sf, with a large portion of their texts situated somewhere in the middle, where the tidal forces of the two opposing modes threaten to pull the work apart.

		Astronomers paid tribute to the Strugatsky brothers' popularity by giving their name to a minor planet in the asteroid belt.
		After his brother's death in 1991, Boris Strugatsky continued penning science fiction plots under the pseudonym of Vititsky, emerging as a gloomier and more sarcastic author focusing on philosophic questions: what is human in man, how did he acquire it and how can his human essence be enlarged?

	Russiansifiction.com - Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Roadside Picnic
		The Strugatskys posit that the Earth experiences a brief visit from extraterrestrials, who leave behind them--well, call it litter, such as might be left by you and me (in one of our less socially conscious moments) after a roadside picnic.
		Add the Strugatskys' deft and supple handling of loyalty and greed, of friendship and love, of despair and frustration and loneliness, and you have a truly superb tale, ending most poignantly in what can only be called a blessing.
		The Strugatsky fury--and it is fury: disgust with hypocrisy, with bureaucratic bumbling, with self-serving, self-saving distortions of logic and of truth and of initially decent human motivations--their fury is laced with laughter, rich with scorn, effervescent with the comic spirit.

	Roadside Picnic; World's End (Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky, Joan Vinge)
		World's End is a localised area where ordinary physics is warped and reality is somewhat unstable, and where down-at-heel adventurers try to make their fortune prospecting.
		In this case the plot is rather different, with the focus on the individual quest of the protagonist to find himself and an ongoing plot rather than the broader view of the Strugatskys.
		Whether Vinge copied from the Strugatskys' novel is not clear, but Roadside Picnic is, in my opinion, by far the better novel.

	Arkady and Boris Strugatsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Strugatsky brothers (Бра́тья Струга́цкие), as they are usually called, became the best-known Soviet science fiction writers with a well developed fan base.
		It should be noted, however, that the Strugatsky brothers were and still are popular in many countries, including Poland, Bulgaria, and Germany, where most of their works were available in both East and West Germany.
		Several of the books written by the Strugatskys take part in the same universe, known as The World of Noon; another unofficial and perhaps less-known title is the Wanderers Universe.

	SF Writers Strugatsky Brothers: Main Page
		Arkady Natanovich Strugatsky and Boris Natanovich Strugatsky are probably the most famous Russian SF authors.
		Any Strugatskys' work is very different from an ordinary SF book in that it is not "pure science fiction." Strugatskys always write about people and their problems, and not about spaceships, technology or other things that the ordinary SF literature is full of.
		This is the Strugatskys' main slogan, and I totally agree with it.

	Roadside Picnic - Arkady Strugatsky, Boris Strugatsky - Review - Happiness for everybody … and no one will go ...
		In mainstream literature it is still true that the majority of work on display in the local bookshop is of Western origin, but a minority (and a substantial one) of other work is also displayed, and is readily available to those who look for it.
		Hopefully, this re-issue of the Strugatsky brothers’ Russian sf classic ‘Roadside Picnic’ is a sign that science fiction is beginning to follow in the publishing footsteps of its literary cousin.
		Authors such as the Strugatsky brothers and Stanislaw Lem are appallingly under-represented in our market, with even the otherwise-excellent SF Masterworks series from Gollancz’s sister company Millennium not containing a single work translated from a language other than English (or even from an author who is not either American or British, to my knowledge).

	The SF Site Featured Review: Roadside Picnic
		Arkady Strugatsky (1925-1991) and his brother Boris (1931-) were born and raised in the former Soviet Union.
		In the early 50s, they began collaborating on a number of utopian future history stories and came to be regarded as the top Soviet science fiction authors of the late 20th century.
		Along with authors like Capek and Lem, this and other works of the Strugatsky brothers should certainly be read by anyone not wishing to be limited to the "Anglocentric Way" of most current science fiction.

	Untitled Document
		The brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, as you are all undoubtedly very well aware, are the most famous Russian writers of science fiction and fantasy.
		It is difficult to overestimate the scale of the Strugatsky’s influence on Russian culture as a whole, though strictly speaking they are SF writers.
		But the fact that the Arts Council of England, who sponsored the project, also considered it beneficial for the better mutual understanding between Russia and the English-speaking world aimed to breaking the barriers created by the politicians during the Cold War, in order to manipulate people’s fears and hatred, proves that I was probably right.

	Arkady and Boris Strugatsky: Roadside Picnic - an infinity plus review
		I remember, when just beginning some academic study a few years back, coming across the name "The Strugatsky Brothers" in textbooks; time after time they were held up as paragons of the genre.
		I think it was regarding them that I first formulated my (since disproved!) inverse square law of sf quality - which was basically that the quality of sf tended to be in inverse proportion to its availability.
		This was purely based on hearsay since the Strugatsky's books have proven to be amongst the most elusive I've ever come across.

	the pathetic caverns - books by author - Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky
		is essentially three closely-linked surrealism-soaked novellas, primarily set in a mythical Soviet institute for scientific research into "thaumaturgy and spellcraft." The Strugatsky brothers weave elements from assorted folklore traditions and mythoi with reckless abandon -- part of the fun is that you never know quite what familiar character or trope might pop up next.
		The English translation by Leonid Renen was first published in 1977; and it's tempting to wonder if some better-known works might have been partially inspired by this book: there's a rather mysterious sofa (a la Douglas Adams'
		However, with a little poking around in a search engine, the discerning reader might be able to turn up a copy of the full text of Renen's translation, perhaps marred by a handful of OCR errors, but quite readable.

		It is the gleeful and deliberate provocation of criticism, in the sure knowledge that the criticism is made on the basis of insufficient data, and that the critic will be shown to be, in the true sense of the word, prejudiced -- pre-judging.
		Here the Strugatskys obey one of the prime rules of lasting and important fiction: the central character is changedchanged by the events of the narrative.
		There are no exceptions to this in great literature; your protagonist grows, gains, loses, perhaps dies, but he is not the same at the end as he was in the beginning, and never can be again.
