Anatoli Kornelijewitsch Vinogradov ( Russian Анатолий Корнелиевич Виноградов , born March 28 . Jul / 9. April  1888 greg. In Polotnjany Sawod ; † 26. November 1946 in Moscow ) was a Soviet writer , who was known in particular for his biographies.

Life

Anatoly Kornelijewitsch Vinogradow was born in the village of Polotnyany Zavod, in the Kaluga governorate , into a family of teachers. In 1912 he graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology and the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at Lomonosov University in Moscow. From 1921 to 1925 he was director of the library of the Rumyantsev Museum . In the library he began to do research, especially on French literature. In 1931 he published several novels and short stories , most of which gained popularity and were often reissued after the author's death. Vinogradov's novels are characterized by the ease and liveliness of the conversations. The abundance of quotes from letters and diaries intensifies his prose. In the historical context, however, according to Wolfgang Kasack, he is very dubious, although he was still considered a master of biography in the 1970s. In 1946 he committed suicide .
