Russian satirical writer and mathematician. His first book
Ziyayushchie vysoty/Yawning Heights (1976), a surreal, chaotic narrative, represents a formal negation of the socialist realist novel and the promised great Future of Soviet ideology. He complicated the quasi-scientific stance of his writing by deliberate disorganization, even in his treatise
Kommunizm kak realnost/The Reality of Communism (1981).
