WORLDSep 22The Strugatsky brothers’ Soviet sci-fi classic ‘Hard to Be a God’ took aim at dictatorship. Russia’s new state-backed TV adaptation strips away the politics.The streaming platform Wink is releasing a series called “Hard to Be a God,” based on the novel by the Strugatsky brothers.

There are more characters and more adventures, but the most important thing has vanished: a coherent vision of a utopian future and the theme of science as the driving force of progress.
