Ivan Yefremov (1908 - 1972) was a Soviet writer and paleontologist.
In addition to introducing a new paleontological field taphonomy -
the study of fossilization patterns, Yefremov has written a series
of novels and short stories, including science fiction, historic
fiction, adventure and drama. Yefremov is frequently ridiculed for
his enthusiasm and faith in the viability of a communist society,
as described in his best known science fiction novel "Andromeda
Nebula." What is frequently overlooked is Yefremov's tremendous
knowledge of history and profound understanding of psychology. His
future society, while highly evolved, is not impervious to
mistakes. His future humanity, having learned and discovered much,
is not pausing to rest on its laurels - it continues to learn and
explore. It is not widely known that his more mature works such as
"Hour of the Bull" and "Razor Blade," had the writer blacklisted by
the Soviet government, as Yefremov's interpretation of a fair and
balanced society deviated sharply from the government propaganda of
the time. To Yefremov's fans he is known for his thorough
scientific analysis, study of art and history, emphasis on physical
and intellectual balance and strong female characters.
