The author Inna Abramovna Bernstein (1919-1992) was a literary critic born in Moscow. She graduated from the Central Asian State University as Dr. Phil. Sciences. Bernstein is one of the leading specialists in the field of modern Czech literature and literature of Eastern Europe as a whole. She was a particular authority on the Czech writer Karl Capek. This monograph "Karel Chapek - Creative Path" (1969) is seminal to the study of the life and work of the greatest writer of Czechoslovakia Karel Chapek, author of R.U.R., Krakakit, War with the Sami, First Rescue, Disease and Mother. The book illucidates the living image of a man and an artist who explored a lot, shared the illusions of his time, and at the end of his life became an active anti-fascist. He is best known for his science fiction, including his novel War with the Newts (1936) and play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots, 1920), which introduced the word "Robot." Influenced by American pragmatic liberalism, Capek campaigned in favor of free expression and strongly opposed the rise of both fascism and communism in Europe.
