The famous anti-utopian novel by Russian writer Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1884-1937) was written in 1920. It was not published in the USSR as it was considered "ideologically hostile" and "defamatory." The novel had a significant impact on the works of many renowned 20th-century writers, including Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, and Vladimir Nabokov.
The complete English version of the novel was first published in 1924. The Chekhov Publishing House, an emigrant publishing house, released the full Russian version in 1952, while it was only published in the USSR in 1988.
