With the advancement of Gorbachev's reforms in the mid-1980s, Russian writers engaged in an increasingly open attack on the mythology of Socialist utopia. It was during those years that the negative subgenre of dystopia once again came to the forefront of literature. As the collapse of the Soviet empire seemed more and more imminent, a number of parodic treatments of the Socialist experiment appeared, as well as more somber works concerned with the menaces attending the looming breakdown of the Soviet state. 1 Whether writing in the primarily satiric vein used by Voinovich, Veller, and Aksenov, or in the more wistful spirit exemplified by the Strugatsky brothers in their later oeuvre, the writers of Gorbachev's epoch sought to reinterpret the past and to discern possible venues for the country's future. These attempts continued after the fall of the Soviet Union.
