* [[Gainax Ending]]: In the end, after getting shot, Andrei is back in our world's actual reality in Leningrad, in his mother's apartment, shortly before dinner - and apparently he wasn't gone at all, to her. That means that it was either a dream or hallucination during the span of a few minutes, OR an instantaneous trip to a parallel universe OR an example of time travel, having been sent back by the Advisors after the experiment, OR he's still in the experiment and "actual reality" is only a hallucination, OR... seriously, what is going on? We are only told, via Andrei's Mentor, that he has passed the "first circle" but that "there are many of them ahead".
* [[Mind Screw]]: Oh boy. While most of the rest of the Strugatsky's body of work is rather hard social science fiction, this is a heavily psychological surrealist mystery, full of symbolism, things that are heavily implied, but NEVER explained and, once you get to the last two acts (the expedition to the North and its aftermath), some extremely weird stuff. Not to mention the Gainax Ending (see above).
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]
* [[A Nazi by Any Other Name]]: Party of Radical Revival
