I recently re-read Yevgeny Zamyatin’s novel We with immense pleasure. I once again immersed myself in its prophetic thoughts, its fresh, concise, and vivid language, carrying the spirit of the Silver Age. I grieved again over the author’s difficult fate. Published in 1924, We became a precursor to modern dystopian literature and a source of inspiration for many famous authors, including Huxley, Orwell, Bradbury, Vonnegut, and others.
