Just recently I have been watching Guest from th Future a Soviet TV series from the eighties and have been astonished at how much I liked it (really it is very good). I have sometimes thought the same reading various Russian/Soviet novels (such as Andromeda nebula and Red Star) and being presently suprised at how good they were. But they are very hard to get my hands on (I doubt I'll ever be able to get the book series that guest from the future was based on) and many seem to have be more or less continously out of print in English. So my challenge is this. How can Russian (or Soviet) works make an inpact on the west comparable to say how Japanese works have. Failing that how can they gain some kind of cult following. Any ideas anyone. What would have to change.
