Yuri Nikitin (author)

Yuri Aleksandrovich Nikitin (Russian: Ю́рий Алекса́ндрович Ники́тин), born in Kharkov, USSR in 1939, is a Russian science fiction and fantasy writer.

Although he was active in science fiction before perestroika, he become famous when he wrote a fantasy with a Slavic motif, Three from the Forest (Russian: Трое из Леса). One of the protagonists is a character based on the Russian Rurikid Prince Oleg, who is a mainstay in many sequels. Nikitin also wrote a pair of novels about Vladimir I of Kiev. Nikitin created a website called Inn (Russian: Корчма) as a community portal to help young writers.

Nikitin's books have a distinct, free, and often intentionally primitive and repetitive style with many jokes, reflecting his intent to keep the reader on topic and carry his ideas through. His later books develop the ideas of becoming a Transhuman through self-development and survival of the spiritually fittest.
