Boris and Arkady Strugatsky

The two brothers Arkady (Аркадий, August 28, 1925 - October 12, 1991) and Boris (Борис, born April 14, 1933) Strugatski (Стругацкий; alternate spelling: Strugatsky) are Russian science fiction authors who collaborated on their fiction.

The Strugatski brothers (Братья Стругацкие), as they are usually called, became the best-known Soviet science fiction writers with a well developed fan base. Their early work was influenced by Ivan Jefremov[?]. Their most famous novel Piknik na obochine has been translated into English as Roadside Picnic in 1977 and was filmed by Andrei Tarkovsky under the title Stalker[?].
