It is the end of the 21st century and the Soviet Union has gone on to encompass the globe.There is no disease (except the flu), no shortage of anything, and no private property. Soviet Superscience has gone on unopposed to give us faster than light spaceships, timetravel, and all manner of other wonders. However, this new society faces many external problems, having to deal with "less developed" planets, Space Pirates, and aliens.Written by Kir Bulychev, and highly popular in Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union, the books feature adventures of a young girl, Alice (Alisa) Seleznyova and her friends. See the list here. There have been several adaptations. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking Russian: Zig-zagged. Many aliens (Rrrr, Gromozeka, Rat etc.) are fluent in it, however, Translation Convention is commonly applied: the usual lingua franca in space is the Cosmolingua, and there are stories set on other planets where mostly the planets' native languages are used (such as Alice's Birthday, The City Without Memory etc.). But sometimes, aliens or creatures from the legend era speak perfect Russian with no explanation provided. | |

Deceptively Cute Critter: In the novella The Golden Bear Cub, there is the eponymous bear cub. It is so adorable that nobody even bothers to remember it was found on a planet where no other animals lived. It turns out to be a banished tyrant with brainwashing abilities. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: Tons of examples. Aliens range from relatively human-like with only a few differentiating traits (the purple-eyes, six-digited Vesterians, the bluish-skinned Krinians) to completely extraordinary for a human’s eye (the residents of Kromanyan who resemble huge waterpots on legs, shapeshifters such as Rat or the people of Zavydkovaya and Millenium). And that’s without getting started on the non-sentient fauna. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Several cases of it across the series, though, to be fair, it's more the fault of Canon Discontinuity than the characters. To name a few: in One Hundred Years Ahead, Alice says invisibility is unscientific (despite having once used an invisibility cap herself); in The Star Dog and Alice and the Pretenders (both among the last books of the cycle), shapeshifters are described as something phenomenal and new for the crew of the Pegasus, while the series has already featured more of these than one can count, most notably, the recurring Big Bad Rat. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Opinions differ, but almost everyone agrees that The Voyage of Alice, One Hundred Years Ahead, A Million Adventures (except for the first part), The City Without Memory and Ghosts Don't Exist stand out for their much darker tone. The Kindness Ray is darker than the rest of the series to a completely ridiculous degree. Unlike the other books, where late-twenty-first-century Earth is a post-scarcity Crystal Spires and Togas utopia with No Poverty, no wars or crime, this novel depicts South-East Asia as a dirt-poor land of Banana Republics where drug barons are rich, powerful and maintain private mercenary armies. | |

Fantastic Drug: A Girl From Earth features a planet where a drug was invented allowing time travel. At first, people were going to the future to check what will happen, but then grew afraid of it and all started traveling back to the best moments of their life. Within a few years, the entire planet was a slum. | |

Gotta Pass the Class: In The Class Repeaters, Alice uses an experimental time machine and accidentally skips six months of her life. The school headmaster announces that it will be impossible for her to pass after missing two-thirds of the school year and she will have to repeat third grade. However, Alice's friends don't want to study on without her, so they all demand to be allowed to repeat the year as well. Finally, she devotes her summer to studying with her friends' help and successfully passes the third-grade exams in September, making it to year four. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: One of the planets had a few robots survive a starship crash there years ago. They started building duplicates for themselves until the resources of the entire planet ran out. They would have probably gone to do the same on other planets, but no one provided them with starship blueprints. Played straight in The Rusty General's Island; the squad of old 20th-century military robots, accidentally activated by researchers, mindlessly follow the preset war-fighting program - despite being at least partially sentient. Ironically, it is revealed that the war those robots were programmed to fight never actually started, and they were just forgotten in an old storage facility. Subverted in The Captives of An Asteroid; while this seems to be the situation at first, the alien robots are perfectly sane and have resorted to desperate measures just to maintain their degrading asteroid generation ship and descendants of its crew. It turns out that the robots have done so well that their creators have become completely dependent on them and slowly degraded to a near-brainless state after centuries of idleness. | |

Extremophile Lifeforms: An airless chasm on an asteroid converted into a Generation Ship is inhabited by "ice dragons" — octopus-like creatures possibly inspired by the Lucky Starr example.

| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_608b26d | comment |
Uniqueness Decay: In One Hundred Years Ahead, unsanctioned time travel, let alone messing with the past, is explicitly forbidden for anyone who doesn’t work at the Institute of Time and isn't qualified. The whole second part with several characters going to the 20th century is only possible because 1) the institute is closed and empty because of a holiday 2) Rat and Jolly U melt its wall with a blaster, and that's how they (and Kolya, and Alice) can get inside. Several books later, time travel is almost as mundane as space travel, and changing the past goes from "forbidden", to "tolerated through gritted teeth if it has already happened", to "approved if it's for the better". In the early books, intergalactic travels are considered pretty dangerous and epic journeys, which only some heroes dare to attempt. In the later books, they are pretty much mundane. Justified, because the plot device in The Voyage of Alice is exactly the fuel that make fast intergalactic travels possible. | |

Objectshifting | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_60c0d584 | comment |
Objectshifting: In Alice and the Enchanted King, the main villain's entire scheme depends on transforming people into dolls. In The Secret of the Black Stone, Hrem kidnaps children by turning them into the titular black stones. In The Sorcerer and the Snow Maiden, a retelling of Ghosts Don't Exist for younger readers, Snow Maidens get turned into dolls. In The War with Lilliputians, it's mentioned that Rat escaped from prison by turning into a vacuum cleaner. | |

Killer Rabbit: The titular critter in The Golden Bear Cub is a completely adorable and seemingly vulnerable alien bear cub with innocent purple eyes and unclear planet of origin. He is later revealed to be Vyprakhol, a former genocidal warlord who had subjected his own planet to a horrific Reign of Terror, was overthrown and spent decades on the run from the survivors of his regime wanting to get revenge. Vyprakhol's cuteness allowed him to avoid any suspicion from his human hosts, study human languages and technologies and develop mind control techniques against humans. | |

The Kindness Ray is darker than the rest of the series to a completely ridiculous degree. Unlike the other books, where late-twenty-first-century Earth is a post-scarcity Crystal Spires and Togas utopia with No Poverty, no wars or crime, this novel depicts South-East Asia as a dirt-poor land of Banana Republics where drug barons are rich, powerful and maintain private mercenary armies. | |

Early Personality Signs | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_a1a46946 | comment |
Early Personality Signs: The very first short story of the series features Alice as a three-year-old. She refuses to go to sleep in time, her father says he'll phone Baba Yaga if Alice continues to be naughty, and the girl is extremely interested and begs him to do so as she would love to meet the hag. That foreshadows Alice's plucky, adventurous and rebellious character that would develop by her preteens and early teens (her age throughout most of the series). | |

Adults Are Useless: Often Alice solves a problem adults have repeatedly failed to solve (such as the mystery of the Empty Planet in A Girl From Earth). Subverted in some installments where Alice fails, and adults (like regular police) save the day (for instance, in The War With Lilliputians, she wouldn’t have survived for long without Granny Lucretia and Puccini-2). However, while she can fail at actual fighting, she always solves the mystery. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: One of the main plot points of The Planet for Tyrants features a former tyrant that was kicked out from his planet, and, in accordance with a general rule, he was allowed to take one thing of his choice with him. So he took a famous and treasured children's railway from his planet, hoping one day he'd be summoned back and would bring the railway back as a gift. The other tyrant managed to smuggle a mermaid as his slave the same way (he chose a trumpet and hid the mermaid inside it). In The End of Atlantis, Poseidon, seeing the danger to the inhabitants, points out to Hera that this is the situation where she, as the head of station, is authorized to use the "sacred" blaster lying in the safe. She does. Then the heroes realize the regulations don't specify that the blaster must be used to deal with the particular danger in question. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: In spades. The author eventually confessed to never rereading his books, which led to him being unable to determine even his main heroine's age and date of birth. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Some darker stories have been rewritten for younger readers. For example, The Sorcerer and the Snow Maiden is a rewrite of Ghosts Don’t Exist (which some consider to be the darkest book of the franchise) and The Pirate Queen on the Planet of Fairytales is based on the fourth part of A Million Adventures. | |

Flat-Earth Atheist: A the start of The Fairy Tales Preserve, both Alice and her father refuse to believe in fairy tale creatures despite actually seeing them in reality. They get better, though. This is in fact lampshaded by the dwarf who seeks assistance from Alice: | |

The book it's based upon claims that wasn't from lack of trying. Also, the final part of A Million Adventures features a passenger ship invulnerable to pirate weapons, with a robot stewardesses to match. | |

In The End of Atlantis, Poseidon, seeing the danger to the inhabitants, points out to Hera that this is the situation where she, as the head of station, is authorized to use the "sacred" blaster lying in the safe. She does. Then the heroes realize the regulations don't specify that the blaster must be used to deal with the particular danger in question. | |

Heinousness Retcon | |
| Alice, Girl from the Future / int_d79f4a9e | comment |
Heinousness Retcon: The recurring Space Pirates duo Rat and Jolly U are a lot crueler in the first three books that feature them. They use blackmail and torture, occupy peaceful planets, and even try wiping out entire planets' population. Further on into the franchise, they suddenly become much nicer without anyone In-Universe acknowledging it. In the later books, for example, Alice muses that Rat and Jolly U would never imprison anyone for the sake of obtaining secrets of new technology (never mind that it's exactly what happens in The Voyage of Alice), and Rat is furious at planetary tyrants who spent their lives conquering and oppressing others (having apparently forgotten he did the same some books earlier). | |

Showing Up Chauvinists: A villainous/The Mole example: when Alice infiltrates a juvenile delinquents' school, she becomes the best student, in particular, by excelling in subjects usually reserved for boys, such as fighting dirty. When she first shows up to fight, the teachers allow her to participate because they think defeating a girl would be amazing training for the boys. | |

Fully-Clothed Nudity: In one book, Alice is hitchiking wearing only shorts — which even have a pocket — and is repeatedly referred as naked. Granted she is topless but she is only twelve — and before that she ran though a city in the same clothing, with no comments. Justified since the one talking to her is a robot actor programmed to believe he's a 19th century peasant. | |
