Victor Pelevin is the most famous writer of the post-Soviet Russia. He commenced exactly around the collapse of the communism, his works from early 90's are frequently considered among his best.

Pelevin became acclaimed in the mid-90's with the novel ''Buddha's Little finger'' which scored high circulation numbers at the times when, as stereotype goes, no-one was interested in the (new) books. It was a postmodernist item where the action was distributed by two different planes (post-revolutionary and post-Soviet Russia).

In the late 90's Peleven scored even stronger when he put out his main work, ''Literature/GenerationP'' which made him a household name in the fraction of the Russian population, interested in the "serious" literature. The novel depicted the world of conspiracy and the masquerade where the real forces running the things were the advertisers, no less. It was said to provide the contemporaries the concepts to understand the process in the late-90's Russia.

After that, as if overwhelmed with his success and newly-gained status he took a long break, returning with a new collection of works (incdluing a short a novel) only in 2003. Since then Pelevin set on a regular course, releasing a new novel (or a collection of works) on a yearly basis.

Pelevin is a typical reclusive artist who is never, repeat, never interviewed. He is said to live in Moscow but might as well have emigrated to Germany or some Buddhist country.
