Description
In Russia, a poet holds a special place, as Yevgeny Yevtushenko claimed—but people don’t talk about science-fiction writers the same way, though it’s unfair. In this country, a sci-fi writer can also be more significant than their profession, and there are not many such authors. Among them are Ivan Yefremov, the Strugatsky brothers, Vladislav Krapivin, Kir Bulychev, Boris Shtеrn, Mikhail Uspensky, and Yevgeny Lukin, who rightly belongs to this circle. For Lukin, science fiction is a tool—like a microscope for Leskov—allowing you to examine details that are usually hidden. Reading his works brings joy from the style and pleasure from a richly humorous atmosphere. In his texts you can find references to Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin, and even to Behemoth the cat.
The list of awards and honors for Lukin is impressive: more than a hundred, including “Aelita,” “Strannik,” “Bronzovaya Ulitka,” “ABS Prize,” Interpresscon, Roskon, the awards named after Ivan Yefremov, the Belyaev Prize, and “The Golden Ostap.” “Literaturnaya Gazeta” noted him with the ironic poem award “Golden Calf,” and in 2015 he was awarded the title of Grandmaster of European science fiction.
