Delete, appears to fail Author, not seeing any awards for this novel when searching and can only find an ebook copy on Barnes and Noble which is dime a dozen. As with any foreign language material if someone fluent in Russian can show reliable sourcing I'm not opposed to withdrawing but for now fails notability standards Hell In A Bucket (talk) 01:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC) Per Jokestress asking for a withdrawn nom and short of that changing to a Keep vote.

 * Comment. No problem, I'm glad you got back to it eventually. I hope these sources are enough - but if not, then I'll try my best to find more.Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 03:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Just translated missing material. Russian article lists a series of awards. Work has been translated into numerous languages. His novel Metro 2033: Peter has been cited in Europe-Asia Studies as a case study of the fan fiction movement in Russian, which operates differently than it does in English speaking countries. Vrochek created a novel within the universe of another author's work, and instead of being slapped for infringement and what-not, the work was embraced and sold widely.
