About the author

A pen name of a Soviet dissident Andrei Sinyavsky. He had to use a pseudonym for writing critical works on Soviet society and publish them in the West to avoid censorship. Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel were convicted of Anti-Soviet agitation in a show trial, becoming the first Soviet writers convicted solely for their works and for fiction. They served six years at a labour camp.
