Abstract

Soviet science fictions in the 1950s were main sources of Chinese science fictions translated. Not only works of well-known famous Soviet masters including Alexei Nikolayevich Tolstoy, Alexander Romanovich Beliaev and Ivan Antonovich Yefremov were published but also theoretical works like On Soviet Science Fiction Readings were published in China were translated, throwing profound impacts on Chinese science fictions. The Paper attempts to restore Soviet Russian science fictions to their own historical culture and historical background on the base of exploration, collection and collation of historical documents, and put such documents into overall development of Chinese science fictions for research, with the hope of exploring the impacts of Soviet and Russian science fictions on creation groups of Chinese science fiction writers by analyzing such important period in the history of Chinese and Russian science fictions.
