ru_strugackieThe Weird and the Wonderful CCVIII: The Snail on the Slope by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
The Weird and the Wonderful
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are a pair of Russian sci-fi writers who, after surviving the siege of Leningrad and obtaining military and astronomy degrees, began to volumniously publish science fiction in the then Soviet Union. However their "The Snail on the Slope" could not come out in the USSR in full until only a year before the end of Communism in Europe.
The story concerns a bizarre, fantastical forest and the byzantine, kafkaesque Directorate set up to study and observe it, and we see both worlds from the perspective of men who wish for nothing more than to be allowed to leave, in spite of all the bureaucratic hoops and giant mushrooms standing in their way.

As for the Brothers Strugatsky, the one with the moustache is Boris, the one without is Arkady.
