The brothers Arkady (August 28, 1925 – October 12, 1991) and Boris (April 14, 1933 – November 19, 2012) Strugatsky were Soviet-Russian science fiction authors who collaborated on their fiction. Their best-known novel, Piknik na obochine, has been translated into English as Roadside Picnic. Andrei Tarkovsky adapted the novel for the screen as Stalker (1979).
