Free Russian science fiction classic novels to download
More Russian generosity, related to Avast's post below about Tartovsky. You can read the novel on which Tartovsky's film 'Stalker' is based. It's called 'Roadside Picnic' and was originally written by the Strugatsky brothers - two Russian SF heroes of the 1960s and 1970s. It's currently available in the Gollancz SF Masterworks series - that's how good it is - but you can get it for free and print it out yourself for the cost of about 100 sheets of A4 from the office (ie: nada). 'The Final Circle of Paradise' is well worth reading also.

Nice one. May I also suggest "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin? It's the blueprint to 1984, and, some say, Brave new world.
No freebie online copy, sorry =(
