Valerian Pavlovich Prawduchin
Valerian Pavlovich Prawduchin ( Russian Валериан Павлович Правдухин ; born January 21 . Jul / 2. February 1892 greg. In the Orenburg Governorate ; † 28. August 1938 ) was a Soviet writer and critic.
Prawduchin founded the literary magazine Siberian Fires in 1921 . Together with his wife Lidija Seifullina he wrote two plays and worked closely with Alexander Voronsky . Walerian Prawduchin belonged to the literary group Perewal ( mountain pass ), which was under Voronsky influence and was founded around 1923/24. It included poets such as Mikhail Arkadyevich Swetlow or Artyom Wessyoly , as well as literary critics such as Prawduchin himself or Ivan Ivanovich Katajew . The group was dissolved by party decree in 1932.
As a literary critic he complained z. B. the rhetorical style of contemporary literature in the case of Alexander Alexandrovich Fadeev's The Nineteen , who would exaggerate his characters with pathos and rob them of everything private, and instead referred to Tolstoy's merits in these matters.
Prawduchin fell victim to the Stalin purges . In 1937 he was arrested as a Trotskyite and shot on August 28, 1938.
