"Volkodav": the film and the book.

You don't seem to be very familiar with the world of Slavic fantasy, my friend. Semyonova wrote her Volkodav in 1995.

Nikitin, however, wrote "Three from the Forest" in 1992.

With some simple arithmetic, we can determine who is the founder of Russian fantasy? Especially since Semyonova's work has nothing Russian about it (in Volkodav, of course).
