Wladimir Galaktionowitsch Korolenko

    July 15, 1853 – December 25, 1921

    Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko was a celebrated journalist and humanitarian whose literary works were often marked by stark depictions of nature, drawn from his experiences of exile in Siberia. A staunch critic of the Tsarist regime and later the Bolsheviks, Korolenko used his short stories to expose injustice and oppression. Despite interruptions to his literary career due to political persecution, his writings, including "Makar's Dream" and "The Blind Musician," immerse readers in profound human narratives and moral complexities. Korolenko's prose stands as a testament to his unwavering advocacy for human rights and his opposition to all forms of injustice.
