About: Yulian Semyonov bibliography

In 1960, reporter Yulian Semyonov became a member of the USSR Union of Writers and after that, actively worked as a writer within almost 30 years. Semyonov achieved a wide renown in the USSR with his novel series, “Political Chronicles” by the common name, united by the principal character, Soviet scout Isaev – Stierlitz. Time Magazine's reporter John Kohan defined him as "the Soviet James Bond". In the USSR (and later in Russia) there were published more than 100 million of this series books. The novels of this cycle were translated into many world languages. Later, in so called “Militia Series” novels (“Petrovka, 38”, “Ogareva, 6”), Semyonov introduced the “police procedural” construction in Soviet literature.
