Arkady Strugatsky
492听books1,816听followersThe brothers Arkady Strugatsky [Russian: 袗褉泻邪写懈泄 小褌褉褍谐邪褑泻懈泄] and Boris Strugatsky [Russian: 袘芯褉懈褋 小褌褉褍谐邪褑泻懈泄] were Soviet-Russian science fiction authors who collaborated through most of their careers.
Arkady Strugatsky was born 25 August 1925 in Batumi; the family later moved to Leningrad. 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. Arkady was drafted into the Soviet army in 1943. He trained first at the artillery school in Aktyubinsk and later at the Military Institute of Foreign Languages in Moscow, from which he graduated in 1949 as an interpreter of English and Japanese. He worked as a teacher and interpreter for the military until 1955. In 1955, he began working as an editor and writer.
In 1958, he began collaborating with his brother Boris, a collaboration that lasted until Arkady's death on 12 October 1991. Arkady Strugatsky became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers in 1964. In addition to his own writing, he translated Japanese language short stories and novels, as well as some English works with his brother.

Beetle in the Anthill is a science fiction mystery.
A man is missing鈥� He must be found鈥� The secrecy of the operation is ultimate鈥�
The missing person is a progressor 鈥� a kind of scout working on the planets of underdeveloped civilizations鈥�
A beetle in the anthill is a being in the alien and inimical environment鈥�
Probably the progressor鈥檚 disappearance is connected with his previous missions鈥� An investigator reads his old scouting report鈥�
There are traces of him everywhere鈥� But he always escapes鈥� The investigator starts seeing that he stands before some ugly cosmic conundrum鈥�
There will be no end to secrets even in the bright future.

鈥淔ind him and let me know,鈥� the Excellency went on, 鈥渄o not attempt to apprehend. Don鈥檛 even contact him. Find him, observe, and report. No more no less.鈥�

An ecological disaster is evident, but the civilization went extinct for some other reason.听 The population disappeared virtually overnight, but they didn鈥檛 die in wars, nor did they evacuate through the outer space; they just didn鈥檛 have that kind of technology.听 The planet is not a cemetery; it鈥檚 a junkyard.听 The few remaining locals barely survive in the countryside doing subsistence farming; no discernible culture, but great skills with semi-automatic rifles.
There are traces of him everywhere鈥� But he always escapes鈥� The investigator starts seeing that he stands before some ugly cosmic conundrum鈥�
I don鈥檛 like secrets.听 In these times on this planet, all secrets, in my opinion, smell like filth.听 I鈥檒l admit, many of them are sensational and capable of defying imagination, but personally, I feel unpleasant when I have to learn them and even more unpleasant when I have to divulge them to innocent bystanders.
There will be no end to secrets even in the bright future.

This is my favorite book by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and most probably favorite science fiction book overall.
Main idea: no matter how kind and fair a World is, creating Secrete Service leads to death of innocent people. It happens this way even when original purpose of Secrete service creation was good and people who are serving in it are good people. In this sense by the way "Beetle in the Anthill" and "Homeland" (TV series) have very much in common...
Events take place in so-called "The Noon Universe" - sci-fi utopia world, distant future, when all the people are kind and powerful, ultimate science achievements provided them with infinite wealth, there's no money, no poverty, no greed, long healthy lives and star travels all around universe with a mission to help other civilizations to succeed.
Everything is going well in this Noon Universe. Basically it's a projection of John Lennon "Imagine", as if the song would actually become reality.
Maksim Cammerer, who serves for COMCON-2 - newly created Secret Service with a mission to protect Earth from unwanted intrusions, receives important assignment - he has to find a "progressor" (that's how those people who serve on distant stars are called), Lev Abalkin. This Abalkin suddenly run away from some planet where he has been planted, killed another "progressor" (an act absolutely unbelievable for Noon Universe - there is no crime) and he hides somewhere on Earth.
Maksim quickly realizes there is something way more important here then rabid "progressor". Lev Abalkin has very weird biography, his parents are unknown, he never really had friends, and it seems like it was forbidden for him to live on Earth (which is also completely unprecedented for the Noon Universe)...
Now not giving everything away, I just wanna say that I love this book and definitely recommend it to everyone who didn't have a chance to read it yet - you'll have a lot of fun and that bittersweet ending... I promise you won't regret it and there are more books by Strugatskies about Noon Universe so it's a fun with continuation.

The Wanderers traveled all over the galaxy, and -- who knows? -- perhaps beyond. All this happened some thousands of years ago. After all this time, no one knows what the Wanderers look like, even whether they were humanoid or not. Arkady and Boris Strugatsky wrote about what they referred to as the Noon Universe, as described below by the Wikipedia article about the brothers:
For me, however, the very best parts of the book are excerpted from a journal by Lev in which he and a doglike extraterrestrial named Schokn, who seems attached to Lev but who thinks little of the human race: "Humans. How can there be any doubt? Naturally, it was humans. Iron and fire, rubble, it's always the same." As in their great Roadside Picnic, there are wonderful outland scenes in which inexplicable things, things that can only be described as eldritch. They wandered across a ruined landscape, where strange objects and threats materialize seemingly from nowhere, and they are treated with suspicion by the surviving human population, who are affected by a plague that makes them age prematurely.
The Strugatsky brothers are not for your typical sci-fi fan: Beetle in the Anthill is a mystery wrapped within an enigma, and the tale unfolds slowly in a series of fragments, mostly from the point of view of Maxim Kammerer, who is seeking the Progressor Albakin. Nonetheless, the conclusion is a shocker with profound implications about the Wanderers and the peoples they visited these many millennia ago.
The main characteristics of the Noon Universe are: a very high level of social, scientific, and technological development; the creativity of the general population; and the very significant level of societal maturity compared to the modern world. For instance, this world knows no monetary stimulation (indeed, money does not exist), and every person is engaged in a profession that interests him or her. The Earth of the Noon Universe is governed by a global meritocratic council composed of the world's leading scientists and philosophers. That Noon World has been clearly named as "World of Communism" in their novels, which was handy for publishing their novels in the USSR where the Communist Party decided whether a book would be printed, and approved for mass circulation.In Beetle in the Anthill, we are presented with a relentless search for one Lev Albakin, one of the Progressors described above, who has killed an associate and traveled to earth without permission.
The Universe was described by the authors as the world in which they would like to live and work. It became highly influential for at least a generation of Soviet people, e.g. a person could quote the Strugatsky books and be sure of being understood. At first the authors thought that the Noon Universe would become reality "by itself", but then they realized that the only way to achieve it is by inventing the High Theory of Upbringing, making the upbringing of each person a unique deed.
One of the important story arcs of those books is how the advanced human civilization covertly steers the development of those considered less advanced. Agents of humans are known as Progressors. At the same time, some humans suspect that a very advanced spacefaring race called Wanderers exists and is 'progressing' humanity itself.
For me, however, the very best parts of the book are excerpted from a journal by Lev in which he and a doglike extraterrestrial named Schokn, who seems attached to Lev but who thinks little of the human race: "Humans. How can there be any doubt? Naturally, it was humans. Iron and fire, rubble, it's always the same."

Desi o carte SF, latura aceasta apare mai mult contextual, pe fundal - se pune accent de fapt pe trairile si actiunile umane, dar intr-o maniera indirecta, lasandu-ne pe noi sa tragem concluziile.
"- Alta lume, alta lume... marai Scekn. Nu mai aveti loc in asta? E prea stramt?
- Cum sa-ti spun... Este stramt pentru imaginatia noastra.
- Pai, sigur! isi arunca veninul Scekn. De cum ajungeti in alta lume, imediat si incepeti s-o modificati, sa semene cu propria voastra lume. Si, bineinteles, imaginatia voastra se simte iarasi stramtorata, iarasi cautati o alta lume si din nou incepeti s-o modificati..."

There is something special about these soviet era, not so obviously criticising the soviet era science-fiction books. There is a kind of feeling, a kind of protagonist and humanistic aspect that makes them a highly compelling read.

Ein absolutes Strugatzki-Highlight
September 10, 2017
Don't judge the book by the cover, OK? I really wish they went for a different one - but Russian books are hard enough to come by that I will not wait to get an edition with a more appropriate cover (and there are some).
The questions that this one asks stay with me - the same way that "Roadside Picnic" and "Far Rainbow" stayed. And neither of them truly answers them because these questions do not have answers. And it's the very strength of the Strugatsky books that they do not try to force answers and solutions.

Kicsit eml茅keztetett a Stalkerben megjelen艖 te贸ri谩ra, az idegenekkel kapcsolatban.

This is the second book in the trilogy about the adventures of Maxim Kammerer. It poses an important ethical question - what sort of behaviour is acceptiple towards beings who come from other planets or worlds. How far can one go if these beings might be a threat to the humankind.
I actually read this book, because I loved "The Inhabited Island", which is the 1st part of the trilogy. What I like about the Strugatsky's vision of the future is that it's positive. In their future, the planet is a highly deleloped, harmonious place with no wars, conflicts or meaningless destruction.

Chilling story. The Strugatsky world is infused with the weigth of the unknown. In multiple scenes the deficiency of being human is intensely staged and emphasized: how is an extraterrestrial phenomenon to be understood if we cannot think like them? There is a constant sense of existential anguish that only science fiction can depict so well. Trying to outrun yourself doesn鈥檛 work, you can only end up banging your head against a wall:
鈥淎nd the worst thing is, we鈥檝e thought up nothing. And never will, because even the smartest and the most experienced of us are just humans. We don鈥檛 know what they want. We don鈥檛 know what they can do. And we鈥檒l never know. (..) We all are so tired! We can鈥檛 even think about it anymore. We are so tired that we get careless and begin to say to each other, 鈥楴ah, it鈥檒l blow over!鈥� (..) Some smart adults, acting out of scientific curiosity dropped a beetle into an anthill and are now carefully recording the nuances of ant psychology and fine details of their social organization. Meanwhile, the ants are scared (..) but what if this is not a beetle in an anthill? What if this is a ferret in a henhouse?鈥� (..) Bastards! They have crossed forty years out of my life! For forty years, they鈥檙e making me think like an ant!鈥�
The writers aren鈥檛 tempted to interpret, explain, or offer contrived assumptions as to what the big mystery could be or how to overcome life events. They leave the reader with what is to be expected in real life: alarming observations continue as worn-out question marks with problems that are to be inherited by the next generation.
This is a very intelligent and engaging book, the key players aren鈥檛 chasing one or two thoughts around a smart plot, they are swallowed by complex scenario鈥檚 while life just happens. I wish the writers took more time to make the confusion and despair more palpable. But perhaps that is also the strength of the book.
The translation was ok, but not very good. The many typo鈥檚 didn鈥檛 bother me, but even though I can鈥檛 compare it with the original, I feel like I missed out on a lot. Some idioms were clearly mistranslated because chunks of the text did not make much sense. Chicago review press is doing an amazing job in offering new translations. Can鈥檛 wait!
From an interview with Arkady from 1988:
鈥淲hen something extraterrestrial appears in one of our books, it's only there to show the reader that we can't put our hope in them. It doesn't matter whether they exist or not; one must always rely on oneself. Some people even now can't walk without some kind of crutch鈥攖hey find it necessary to have faith in something, (..) But explicitness, full statement, it seems to me, are only good in books on the care of houseplants. The more a literary work provokes contradictory opinions, the more actively it brings the reader into confrontation with herself or himself. That way, the reader becomes accustomed to thinking, to growing鈥攖hrough a spiritual, moral effort.鈥�

Read
June 15, 2018The Bros. continue their run of cleverly re-imagining classic genre tropes 鈥� in this case the spy story, although there鈥檚 some sci-fi and even post-apocalyptic stuff here -- into more complex discussions of the nature of humanity, and even the sort of veiled criticisms possible to Soviet writers. They all also tend to fall pretty to third act infodumps and unruly Deus Ex Machinas, this one in particular more so than the others I read.

The book has an interesting noir mixed with science fiction atmosphere, but ultimately wasn't as exciting as I was expecting and the ending was disappointing.
Firstly, it was difficult to understand the book's universe which made the beginning difficult to read.
The book is not self explanatory as an American novel would be, not that it is a bad characteristic, actually I like when you have to discover the universe together with the main character as he is seeing it and without the strange out of place explanatory sentences, after all it's the natural way, but while I was reading it, I felt that if I'd read Noon 22nd before, I would appreciate Beetle in the Anthill more.
The little I could understand about the Noon world, proofed me it was a really interesting universe thought: humankind was so technologically developed that all physical and non intellectual labour were inexistent and careers like art, psychology and teaching were more appreciated (which is something interesting if you think about the book's soviet background and compare with the way today some left-wingers think about any kind of technology not as a quality of life improver, but as an evil job elimination tool...); there was some kind of government organization whose goal was to accelerate other sentient alien species' evolution; there was some battle between government ethical control over science's research and scientists liberty to search for knowledge; there was an alien species more developed that made the government divided about their intentions; unfortunately the necessity of spy/investigation agents was never explained.
Secondly, the ideas under the plot were not mind blowing but not dull either, the "beetle in the anthill" theory (Albakin as a beetle put by the Wonderers in the middle of human species, the anthill, so they could study our behaviour) and the idea of if it was cruel or not to not tell someone about his identity if it could make the person mad, suspicious of himself and an outsider in his own home (to tell or not to Albakin if he is an possible weapon against human kind or not) were almost cool.
Unfortunately, those cool ideas and universe were not enough to maintain me interested and excited as a noir novel was supposed to do.
The main character did not convince me as a good investigator and his boss as someone so intelligent and important as he should be.
I didn't care much about the main plot as I cared about Albakin's and the Bighead planet exploration subplot.
But the biggest problem to me was the ending, it was inexplicably rushed (albakin running to the museum) and, I still don't know if it was because I didn't understand it, but the final paragraphs left the book with an open end that made me really really angry.
In conclusion, it is a so-so science fiction noir book, with a little action, some good ideas in a very cool world, maybe good as a quick teenager reading or a short story, but not so good as a novel itself.

Should we treat each problem like it's a weasel in a chicken coop? And what if it's a mere beetle thrown on an anthill by a curious child, one that will just stroll away uninterested if only the raging ants just let it be?
Russian not being my first language, I've been having a bit more problems than usual understanding this book. For me it felt as if they jumped up a level with both language and complexity - and I guess it makes sense, being the story of a special force agent in a chase. I had to stop and reread, I had numerous fights with my partner to remain quiet and leave me alone so I can concentrate - but it was well worth it.
Brothers Strugatsky bring to life yet again a dark, twisted story in a fragile, semi dystopian world very similar to ours yet vastly different. Three points of view are presented - the head of operation, keeping himself distant and critically logical, his humanity stripped long before for the greater good; the chased - who is, even by the end of the story, unclear if innocent or guilty, and all the lives he touched; and the pawn - going through a moral struggle realizing maybe not all is black and white, and not all orders should be taken blindly, even if many lives are at hand.
Is Lev innocent? Should he be killed as a precaution? I found myself connecting to each side, not being able to take any one of them, torn as much as Kamerer was, feeling pity for Lev and still being able to see the logic in Sikorski's decision.
Arkady and Boris are PHENOMENAL writers, and should be considered an asset to sci-fi literature. A wonderful book with very deep ideas and criticism on society. I'm very glad I overcame the high level and managed to finish this one. 5 stars.

I'm determined to complete my collection of every book by the Strugatsky brothers in English translation, but I am also on a fixed income, so I have been working at it quite awhile. Many of these books are long out of print, scarce but still desired, therefore expensive. Expensive to someone like me, at any rate. I managed to score a copy of this one in excellent condition for only (hah) $45 -- and I laugh because that is still a good deal. While "Beetle" is by no means their strongest effort, it was yet worth the price and patience for me. Maxim Kammerer is again the protagonist, so this is a "Noon universe" novel, but much deeper than "Prisoners of Power" (aka "The Inhabited Island") though not quite as innovative and effective as "The Time Wanderers." At this point I am only missing 2 or 3 titles to complete my collection.

It's a good book, but it's hard to process and it wasn't as spot-on for me as the first book of the series (''). In the first readthrough, a lot of important details don't really make any sense, so it might be a good idea to re-read it once you know the main plot twist. Also, the emotional context and the message of the book become MUCH clearer after brief research. Without that, I would say, it would feel like a good-but-not-great sci-fi novel, with that additional bit of work it becomes good.
