Vasily Aschajew's first works were printed in 1934. He graduated from the Maxim Gorki Literature Institute in 1944 by distance learning . From 1935 to 1950 Vasily Aschajew lived in the Far East, first as a prisoner and later as a worker. It was there that the three-volume novel "Far from Moscow" (Russian: "Далеко от Москвы" ) (1948) was written, which describes the "heroic commitment" in the construction of an oil pipeline in Siberia in the style of socialist realism . For this, Ashayev was awarded the Stalin Prize for 1949. The novel was translated into many languages during the Stalinist era and served as a template for numerous film adaptations and plays, including an opera. In 1988 the novel "Waggon" appeared posthumously from his estate, in which the fate of a young prisoner is described.
