And mind you, Poland, Baltic States and others no longer want to associate with the concept "Eastern Europe" you know why. Therefore I would strongly oppose an article under such tittle. Because other than Communist past, these countries have nothing in common and better be treated in separate pages. And if one ever writes 1103:.

I am going to begin a re-draft of this article, although it will be a long project. There are materials, documents and sources that I won't be able to get hold of for a few months, so it will have to develop in fits and starts. At present I feel confident enough to rework the Soviet SF section, which

Rather then adding horror to the name (as well as other genras, such as steampunk or superhero fiction) renaming this to Russian speculative fiction and making it the main article for 866:

Constructively emerging from this discussion is my realization that we may want to consider batch renaming all "Fooian science fiction and fantasy" articles into "Fooian speculative fiction", ile.
