- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Russian writer Sigismund Dominikovich Krzhizhanovskii (1887-1950) was born in Kiev and studied at the Fourth Kiev High School. In 1912-13, he studied philosophy in Europe, and in 1913 graduated from Kiev’s St. Vladimir University Law School, having concurrently studied classical philology at the same university. He worked as an assistant lawyer; and as a teacher at the Kiev Conservatory and the N. V. Lysenko Institute of Music and Drama. Upon moving to Moscow in 1922, he lectured on art and worked at the Great Soviet Encyclopedia and the journal Fighting for Technology [V boi za tekhniku]. S. D. Krzhizhanovskii wrote several works of philosophy and satire, and pieces of a lyrical-fantasy nature. Insofar as all of his work contradicted the principles of socialist realism in one way or another, the only works of his published in his lifetime were the novella The Stamp (1925) and a few stories. It was not until the late 1980s that his works were published more fully. He died in Moscow.
