Line 6:
Their later books were very philosophical and subversive: many were heavily censored, others were banned. The banned books were printed unofficially (a practice known as [[wikipedia:Samizdat|samizdat]] and naturally a crime in the Soviet Union) and passed from hand to hand as subversive material. Averting [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]], these books were read by people of all ages, inspired generations of idealists and are cited as an influence by prominent Russian intellectuals.
 
Unfortunately, [[No Export for You|English translations are few, lacking in quality and out of print]]. The fact that they are based on Soviet-era censored versions of the works doesn't help. Unfortunately, the chances of getting new English translations is close to nil since Boris Strugatsky refuses to take the original Russian texts off his website (something which is apparently a prerequisite for having his work translated in the West). Movie adaptations are not quite as scarce, but suffer from horrible [[Adaptation Decay]]. The most famous adaptation is that of ''Piknik na obochine'', translated into English as "''[[Roadside Picnic (Literature)|Roadside Picnic]]''", which became a film under the title ''[[Stalker (Film)|Stalker]]''. (The film, in turn, would inspire a [[STALKER|video game]]).
 
Arkady Strugatsky died on October 12, 1991, ending the collaboration. Boris Strugatsky has since published two novels (neither translated to English). He was quoted to describe solo writing as "sawing a log with a two-man saw, only alone".
