Vsevolod Vyacheslavovich Ivanov (1895-1963), author of Partisan Stories, Armored Train 14-69, and The Fakir's Lives, made a name for himself in the early 1920s, when he moved from Siberia to Petrograd and found himself at the epicenter of the Russian literary process: He became a member of the Serapion Brothers, became friends with Boris Pilniak, Sergei Esenin, Viktor Shklovsky, socialized extensively with Gorky, and entered into polemics with the ideologists of the Proletkult. Later, however, his relationship with "official literature" became more complicated, to say the least: from the "bourgeois" stories that made up the book Secret of Secrets, Ivanov moved toward cooperation with the authorities, even to participation in covering the construction of the White Sea Canal and the organization of the first congress of Soviet writers. It was not easy not to destroy himself as a person in the tense atmosphere of the second half of the 1930s. It seems that Ivanov still managed to preserve in his soul the innermost things that distinguish his best works, combining realism and "ornamental" imagery, inheriting the poetry of folklore, Imagists and Futurists.
