Brothers Arkady Natanovich (1925–1991) and Boris Natanovich (born 1933) Strugatsky occupy a very special place in the history of Russian literature. Recognized as classics of science and social fiction, they confidently crossed the boundaries of the genre, becoming idols and rulers of thoughts for many generations of the Soviet intelligentsia. The fantastic worlds they created, in which the nature of sometimes the most ordinary person is manifested in a new way, from the most unexpected side, still fascinate the reader today, seemingly fed up with action-packed, adventurous fiction. The life path of the “star duet” and the phenomenon of the Strugatsky brothers is described in the new book in the series “The Life of Remarkable People.”
