"Mikhail Mikhaylovich Zoshchenko"

---

Early Soviet satirist. Studied law than joined the army. After the revolution he traveled and lived in a variety of cities. In St. Petersburg in 1921 he joined the Serapion Brothers LIterary Group. A jester at heart, his targets included the bureacracy and soviet corruption. A manipulator of language he, like Witkiewicz, often created new words and artifical languages. With the 1930's his brand of pointed observation was not heavily desired. His story in 1946, "The Adventures of A Monkey" was the last straw and he was expelled from the Union of Soviet Writers, effectively ending his career.
