Start with brothers Strugatsky, Arkady and Boris, and Stanislaw Lem, who are classics. And I'm taking my time to get to read Zoran Živković, who was a SF publisher for quite a while, and who was actually the first (and probably) only private SF publisher in Yugoslavia(s), and is the only guy I know that got his PhD on SF. He eventually decided he can't be both a publisher and a writer, so he now publishes only what he's finished writing ;).

Could anyone who speaks Polish right correct me - Žełazny should mean Iron (adj.).

But the website you mention is equally guilty as charged. I've read about a dozen forewords to SF anthologies, where they go to vast lengths to catalog anything that had the slightest hint of SF and was published, run on a network or awarded in the current year. They even count the fanzines, how are publishers doing - and who of the prominent persons died. And as a rule (and I can't remember a single exception to it) the dead spouses of magazine editors or just publishers get more coverage than the whole SF activity in the whole rest of the world. I know, because this tiny section is either no longer than two sentences, or completely missing.

And that's in just one area that I'm somewhat acquainted with.
