Arkady was drafted into the Soviet army in 1943.
In January 1942, Arkady and his father were evacuated from the Siege of Leningrad, but Arkady was the only survivor in his train car his father died upon reaching Vologda. ArkadyĪrkady Strugatsky was born 25 August 1925 in Batumi the family later moved to Leningrad. In 1991, Text Publishers brought out the collected works by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The Strugatsky brothers were Guests of Honour at Conspiracy '87, the 1987 World Science Fiction Convention, held in Brighton, England. They are well-known Russian science fiction writers with a well-developed fan base. The Strugatsky brothers, however, were and still are popular in many countries, including Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, the former republics of Yugoslavia, and Germany, where most of their works were available in both East and West Germany. Several other of their fiction works were translated into English, German, French, and Italian, but did not receive the same magnitude of critical acclaim as that granted by their Russian audiences. Andrei Tarkovsky adapted the novel for the screen as Stalker (1979).Īlgis Budrys compared their "An Emergency Case" and Arkady's "Wanderers and Travellers" to that of Eando Binder. Their best-known novel, Piknik na obochine, has been translated into English as Roadside Picnic. Later they went on to develop their own, unique style of science fiction writing that emerged from the period of Soviet rationalism in Soviet literature and evolved into novels interpreted as works of social criticism.
Their early work was influenced by Ivan Yefremov and Stanisław Lem. Their father was Jewish and their mother was Russian Orthodox. The Strugatsky brothers ( братья Стругацкие or simply Стругацкие) were born to Natan Strugatsky, an art critic, and his wife, a teacher. A translated Strugatsky story appeared in Amazing Stories in 1959
