Bibliographic comments: Mozheyko's original SF pseudonym, which he came up with in 1967, was "Kir. Bulychev". "Kir."
came from his wife's first name, "Kira", and "Bulychev" was his mother's maiden name. Later on he dropped the period after
"Kir", so it became "Kir Bulychev". In the meantime, some of his publishers, both in the USSR and in other countries,
assumed that "Kir." was a contraction of "Kirill"; for this reason many 1970s-1980s translations and some Russian language
editions appeared as by "Kirill Bulychev".
