Biography

He was born at Kineshma, in Kostroma, studied at Jaroslav, and settled in Saint Petersburg. As a novelist he is a realist of much the same school as Pisemsky and especially able in his portrayal of dismal village life. His earlier plays were slow in getting to the stage, as they were blocked by the censors for their attacks on present conditions.

Notes
    gollark: And even those bits have some notes on the "danger" of cold-boot attacks.
    gollark: I like how the Alpine Linux https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_laptop page seems to be 75% ridiculously paranoid deniable encryption setup (dubiously useful, as nobody actually has disks full of random noise for no reason), with some short paragraphs on laptop things like actually having battery life.
    gollark: Good news: memeCLOUD™ contains almost 4000 memetic hazards.
    gollark: Imagine discussing esolangs.
    gollark: Quines aren't horribly large so it can be done.
