The Silver Age,the end of the 19 th century and the beginning of the 20 th century,was the most turbulent period in human history.The development of science and technology is like a hurricane,threatening the world from the western industrial society.Russia,which is located between Europe and Asia,at the time of the collapse of the feudal empire,and various futurological views are surging,is even more shocked than any other places.Technology not only changed the material aspects of Russian life,but also affected the way people perceive and imagine the world.As well as Russian literature at that time.At the turn of the 19 th and 20 th centuries,expectations of modernity not only spread in the intellectual world,but also condensed into a general social sentiment.As a symbol of western civilization,science and technology played an important role in people’s imagination of the future.With the storm of the October Revolution,Russian people’s belief in science and technology gradually became an important part of social ideology.It made the infinite power of technology and the full liberation of humanity be interwoven tightly.During this period,science fiction(shortened to SF)arose in Russia and became popular.Since the end of the 19 th century,Western SF entered Russia,combining the existing fantasy factors in the Russian literary tradition with the imagination of science and technology rejuvenated the old fantastic literature.It was where the creation of local SF began.Before and after the October Revolution,science fiction flowed widely in creative attempts in various fields,chemically reacting with different schools of thought,from literature to science,and becoming an important literary form for the Russian intellectual community to predict the future destiny of Russia and human.In 1920 s,SF officially entered the field of criticism and gained preliminary theorization.Although in the early days of the establishment of the Soviet Union,the exploration of this literary genre was accompanied by the throes of the transformation of the society,but the creative practice of many novelists already had a relatively clear sense of genre.They studied Western SF,explored the inner laws of this genre and wrote their own stories according to a certain paradigm.In this process,SF not only became one of the most popular genres among urban readers in the Silver Age,but also attracted creators from various social classes and communities at that time.In the Silver Age,science fiction not only assumed the mission of popular literature to entertain readers,but also was active in many aspects of Russian social thought at that time,becoming a cultural phenomenon that could not be ignored at that time.At this time,before the 1920 s,science fiction had not yet formed the exact concept of genre in Russian literature: only scattered reviews of works appeared in the criticism circle,without a paradigm definition of science fiction from the overall perspective;the literary world has also failed to form a professional science fiction publishing organization,with a fixed science fiction creation crowd.However,because of this,the meaning of “scientific fantasy” is not limited to the pure genre of novels,but has become a way for writers of all cultural circles to think about reality,look to the future,and conceive the destiny of the Russian nation and even mankind,thus carrying various theories and ideals.These experimental explorations are condensed in the speculative novel,a literary carrier between fiction and reality.Through popular publications in full swing,it communicates with a new generation of readers who are eager to “open their eyes to see the world”.Since then,scientific fantasy,as a vague and novel writing tendency,has triggered extensive attempts.In this process,science fiction gradually entered the field of criticism and transformed into a clear understanding of a new form.On this basis,literary critics not only tried to establish a context for science fiction,but also had high hopes for its future in Soviet Russia.During this period,Russia’s native science fiction creation gradually gained wings,and began to break away from the blind imitation of western science fiction writers,trying to express the voice of the times based on the rapidly advancing Russian reality.All of this has made the development of Russian science fiction closely linked to the trend of world literature,and it has a local vitality.The achievements of science fiction in the Silver Age were remarkable,opening up the Russian science fiction tradition,and laying the foundation for the later development of science fiction in the Soviet Union.However,in fact,Russian SF in the Silver Age is still a cold academic sector.As the cultural influence of Soviet SF became more and more prominent,this sphere began to attract more researchers.However,for a long time,discussions about Russian SF mainly focused on the Soviet period,and the Silver Age has always been neglected.It makes the literary value of science fiction in the Silver Age,as well as its historical continuity with Russian literary tradition and Soviet SF,obscured seriously.The incomplete perspective could hinder an overall-understanding of the history of Russian SF.Today,science and technology are accelerating reshaping of the world,Russian literature is once again facing a turn,and the development of SF is extremely eyecatching,it is a right to look back to Russian SF a hundred years ago.This article will start a discussion of many points about Russian SF in the Silver Age by taking the literary genre itself(not a specific work)as the research object,and trying to restore its history context.On this basis,this article will try to outline the early development of SF in Russia,and re-examine literary value of the gerne.
