The thesis focuses on the development and characteristics of science fiction in the Soviet Union. The thesis analyzes literary works and authors such as Aleksey Tolstoy (Aelita), Alexander Belyaev (Ariel), Ivan Yefremov (Andromeda: A Space-Age Tale), Yevgeny Zamyatin (We), and Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (Noon: 22nd Century). The thesis explores how social, political, and scientific shifts influenced this genre of literature. The central emphasis is on the analysis of the genre from a historical and philosophical perspective and on determining how the works of this period reflected utopian and dystopian visions of the future. The thesis also discusses the role of science fiction as a tool for popularizing science and its impact on shaping social ideas and morality.
The thesis thus covers key research points: the literary and historical development of Soviet science fiction, the impact of scientific progress on literature, and the contribution of science fiction to social discourse in the Soviet Union from 1920 to 1970.
