Life
He studied law until 1917 in Moscow and Rostov-on-Don Law . He broke off his studies because of his participation in the First World War and played as an actor through provincial theaters and worked in 1923/24 for various children's magazines in the Donets region and from 1930 as a playwright .
The acquaintance with the children's book author Samuil Marschak encouraged Schwarz to write plays himself.
