Biography

Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatina, sometimes anglicized as Eugene Zamyatin, was a Russian author of science fiction, philosophy, literary criticism, and political satire. Zamyatin is the author of a dystopian novel "Мы" (We) (1921). George Orwell believed that Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) must be partly derived from We. Kurt Vonnegut said that in writing Player Piano (1952) he "cheerfully ripped off the plot of Brave New World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from Yevgeny Zamyatin's We.
