Writing Career
Berezin had dreamed of writing science fiction since his youth but only pursued it seriously at the age of thirty-eight. His work is primarily in the genre of hard science fiction, often categorized as turbo-realism by critics such as Yuri Astrov-Zatsaritsynsky. Berezin himself defines his genre as "fantastic-philosophical technothriller". His first published work, apart from stories in the magazine "Poryv" (Kirovohrad), was the science fiction novel "Ashes" in 2001.
