Science fiction in Russia

[Reese, Kevin]

Dear Simon,

Here are a few works that fit your description:

1.  Geller, Leonid.  Vselennaia za predelom dogmy: razmyshleniia o sovetskoi fantastike. 
	London: Overseas Publications Interchange Ltd, 1985.
  
2.  Gakov, Vladimir, et al.  Entsiklopediia fantastiki: kto est’ kto. Minsk: Galaksias, 
	1995.

3. Prashkevich, Gennadii.  Krasnyi sfinks: istoriia russkoi fantastiki ot V. F. Odoevskogo do 
	Borisa Shterna. Novosibirsk: Svinin i synov’ia, 2007.

The best fit is Geller: his work is a proper historical-literary study, with some references to translated works.  Gakov's book is really just a reference work, but with many entries on non-Russian writers.  (Gakov reads English well, so an entry on an English-language sf writer does not imply the existence of a translation.)

Stite's _Revolutionary Dreams_, while not a study of science fiction, contains many references to early Soviet sf writers.

Finally, as concerns influential non-Russian sf writers, there is an extremely detailed bibliography of translations of H. G. Wells into Russian.  Many of the translations from the 1920s were edited by Zamiatin, who wrote some very fine essays on Wells:

Levidova, I. M. and B. M. Parchevskaia.  Gerbert Dzhorzh Uells: Bibliografiia russkikh 
	perevodov i kriticheskoi literatury na russkom iazyke: 1898-1965.
	Moskva: Kniga, 1966. 

Best,
Kevin Reese

Dear list,



Can anyone recommend a history of science fiction in Russia?  Ideally,
covering both Russian sci fi and foreign works which have been translated
into Russian.



Thank you in advance.



Best wishes,



Simon
