Shimun Vrochek (Russian: Шимун Врочек), real name Dmitry S. Ovchinnikov (Russian: Дмитрий Овчинников) (born 1 November 1976) is a Russian science fiction author.[1] His work Piter (a novel from the Universe of Metro 2033 book series) has been cited as a case study of the boom in prosumer level participation in Russian fan fiction, using transmedia in ways that echo traditional Soviet methods, yet is completely commodified.[2]
