It argues that contemporary scientific experiments aimed at the control over life, death, and disease inspired many Russian writers to conduct their own literary experiments with the ideas and techniques offered by experimental biology and medicine, which found expression in both popular-science writings and a new literary genre, science fiction. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Literature and science|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85077571|zSoviet Union.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80126312-781 650 0 Biology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85014203|zSoviet Union|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80126312-781|xExperiments.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005734 650 0 Immortality in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh94004977 650 0 Biology in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94000688 650 0 Science fiction, Russian|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118651|y20th century|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 7 Literature and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1000093 650 7 Biology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/832383 650 7 Immortality in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/967861 650 7 Biology in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /832499 650 7 Science fiction, Russian.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1108706 651 7 Soviet Union.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210281 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKrement͡sov, N.L.|tRevolutionary experiments : the quest for immortality in Bolshevik science and fiction.|dNew York : Oxford University Press, [2014]|hxv, 268 pages|z9780199992980|w(DLC) 2013037097 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=657907|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
