Historian and writer, winner of the Bolshaya Kniga Prize, finalist for the Yasnaya Polyana and National Bestseller awards, author of the documentary novel "Parisian Boys in Stalin's Moscow," as well as biographies of Lev Gumilyov, Valentin Kataev, and Yevgeny Petrov.

This book is written without bombast or pathos, but with attention to detail. Sergei Belyakov carefully dismantles the myth of the "broken" and "reformed" Zabolotsky, showing how a provincial boy with a notebook of poems grew into one of the most paradoxical poets of the 20th century.

It has it all: the sacred groves of the Mari, a provincial "Hogwarts," famine-stricken Moscow, avant-garde Petrograd, OBERIU, the camps, and a return to poetry.

Zabolotsky is not only a poet equal to Pasternak, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam, and Mayakovsky, but also an unusual utopian thinker who corresponded with Tsiolkovsky and predicted the achievements of modern biotechnology.
