Biography
Biography
He attended the seminars of Nikolai Gudzy, Nikolai Liban, and Sergei Radzig, which made a lasting influence on him, inspiring his interest in the theme of pre-Christian pantheon. This was later realized in his research and his literary work. In 1962–74, he worked first at the Khudozhestvennaya Literatura Publishing House, then on the radio (in the Spanish and then in the Brazilian section) and finally at the poetry division of Youth magazine. In the 1970s, he spent much time in the northern parts of Russia, studying icons and local crafts. In the 1980s, he translated Central Asian poetry. Also in the 1980s, he wrote the novels The Face-maker and the Muse, Sleeper at Harvest Time, and Stavr and Sarah.
