from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mikhail Artsybashev ( Russian Михаил Петрович Арцыбашев ; born October 24 . Jul / 5. November  1878 greg. In Dubroslawowka at okhtyrka ; † 3. March 1927 in Warsaw ) was a Russian writer .

Mikhail Arzybaschew (around 1905)

Life

Arzybaschew was born in Kharkov Governorate in what is now Ukraine as the son of a provincial official. He initially wanted to become a painter, but eventually devoted himself to writing and was celebrated as an important young Russian author with his psychological and time-critical novels, short stories , dramas and descriptions of the revolution. His best-known novel, Sanin , caused a sensation when it was published in 1907 because of its title hero ignoring social conventions and depictions of free love, and it was banned in many countries (temporarily also in Germany). His later works are characterized by pessimism, nihilism and erotic frustration. In contrast to Sanin , they are almost only considered as contemporary documents.

In 1920 Arzybaschew had to answer to court for foreign exchange smuggling. Despite an acquittal he was characterized by the court as the “typical Russian intelligentsia”, “who had been thrown off the rails by the proletarian revolution that was alien to him”. The royalties from his publications and the performance of his works were temporarily withheld from him, in 1923 his health deteriorated as a result of a long-standing tuberculosis and he went blind.

In 1923 he emigrated from the Soviet Union to Poland , where he published a newspaper critical of the regime. He sent the Lausanne court, which was hearing against Moritz Conradi (" Conradi affair ") accused of the murder of the Soviet diplomat Wazlaw Worowski , a statement in which he characterized the situation in the Soviet Union as Bolshevik terror.

His works and those of his literary successors were ostracized by Soviet critics as saninstwo and arzybaschewtschina and therefore only marginally dealt with in reference works or representations of Russian literature.

Michail Arzybaschew is the father of Boris Artzybasheff (* 1899, † 1965), who emigrated to the United States and became famous there as an illustrator (for Time , Life and Fortune, among others ).
