Author:Kir Bulychev

Кир Булычев.

Real name Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheyko. Apparently, Mozheyko's original SF pseudonym (ca. 1965) was "Kir. Bulychev" and he eventually dropped the period after "Kir", so it became "Kir Bulychev". In the meantime, a number of his translators and English language publishers, both in Moscow and in the US/UK, assumed that "Kir." was a contraction of "Kirill", so most 1970s-1980s translations appeared as by "Kirill Bulychev". Post-1990 translations generally use "Kir". The ISFDB uses "Kir Bulychev" as the canonical name. Ahasuerus 00:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
