The Man From M.I.S.P. (Chelovek iz MINAPa)

Yuli Daniel (Nikolai Arzhak)

(Flegon Press, London, 1966, Pamphlet, 32 pages)

Text is in Russian.

Russian author who wrote as Nikolai Arzhak, under which name in the early 1960s he published his stories abroad, without permission.
After he was found guilty in a 1966 show trial of "anti-Soviet activity," he and his friend and fellow dissident Andrey Sinyavsky, were imprisoned
for five years of hard labor in Siberia. It is now generally thought that his and Sinyavksy's defiant refusal to plead guilty was a significant instigating
moment in the swell of opposition that ended the Soviet Union. 

Touted as the first ever Soviet sex story, the eponymous character in The Man From M.I.S.P. has the power of predetermining the sex of any
child from his loins.
