Like other classics of twentieth century Russian literature it was largely appreciated only in the West; after all it was the fi rst book banned in the USSR. As with Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago (also banned), Mikhail Bulgakov’s Th e Master and the Margarita (unknown until 1962), and Andrei Belyi’s Petersburg (neglected due to incompatibility with Soviet demands), it was largely studied only by readers on our side of the Iron Curtain, especially in NATO countries. Indeed, it was fi rst published in English; the full original only appeared in 1952, twenty-eight years later, when it, once again, played a role in the Cold War. In addition, Zamiatin’s novel enjoyed the status of a classic of science fi ction and utopian literature, especially after the publication of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four (1949). Commonly included in sci- ence fi ction curricula, it attracted the attention of professors of Western, espe- cially English, literature.
