Russian fantasy developed from the centuries-old traditions of Russian mythology and folklore. Russian science fiction emerged in the mid-19th century and rose to its golden age during Soviet era, both in cinema and literature, with writers like Strugatsky brothers, Kir Bulychov, and Mikhail Bulgakov, among others. With the fall of Iron Curtain, modern Russia experienced a renaissance of fantasy. Outside modern Russian borders, there's a significant number of Russophone writers and filmmakers from Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, who also made a notable contribution to the genres. Terminology[edit] In Russian language, fantasy, science fiction, horror and all other related genres are considered a part of a larger umbrella term, fantastika (rus. фантастика), roughly equivalent to "speculative fiction", and are less divided than in the West.
