Some Nagibin stories with environmental themes besides "By a Quiet Lake"
(1963): "Meshchersikie storozha" ("Wardens of the Meshchera District," 1956),
"V rasputitsu" ("Impassable Roads," 1957), "Brakon'er" ("The Poacher," 1965),
"Na kordone" ("The Cordon," 1968). Others: Viktor Astaf'ev, "Tsar-Ryba" ("Queen
Fish," 1977), Daniil Granin, "Kartina" ("The Picture," 1979) (but these latter
are outside the time period requested).
