The brothers Arkady Natanovich Strugatsky and Boris Natanovich Strugatsky were Soviet-Russian science fiction authors who collaborated through most of their careers. Their early work was influenced by Ivan Yefremov and Stanisław Lem. 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.
