Life

In 1957 he completed his studies at the Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages ​​in Moscow and worked for a time as an interpreter and a correspondent for the magazine Wokrug Sweta ( Вокруг света ) in Southeast Asia. Later he worked as a historian specializing in Burma at the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union.

In addition to numerous scholarly publications, he wrote a variety of sci-fi stories. His highly successful children's book cycle around the girl Alisa ( named after his daughter ) who experienced numerous adventures on Earth and in outer space in the late 21 th century, made ​​him famous throughout the Soviet Union and beyond.
