Medvedev, Yuri
Entry updated 3 November 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1937- ) Russian anthologist, editor and author, known for his Pan-Slavic rhetoric and his sometimes doctrinaire espousal of conservative literary and political values in his work, and in his constraining influence on others; active from around 1960. His work has not been widely translated, though Chasa terpeniya (coll of linked stories 1983; trans Robert King as The Chariot of Time 1988) provides an orthodox Space Opera venue explored by its humourless protagonist, as authenticated by an introduction by Vitaly Sevastyanov (1935-2010), "Soviet cosmonaut, twice Hero of the Soviet Union".
