Jules Verne was generally seen pretty well in the former communist countries, my HN/reddit nickname is taken from a Soviet TV series based on one of Jules Verne's books [1]. Mind you, I didn't even live in the former Soviet Union, but when I first saw a glimpse of Verne's universe as a 7-year old kid I was hooked for life.
