Smirnov, Vasilii Aleksandrovich

Born Dec. 20, 1904 (Jan. 13, 1905) in the village of Sinitsyno, now in Mysh-kino Raion, Yaroslavl Oblast. Soviet Russian writer. Member of the CPSU since 1925.

Smirnov began publishing in 1924. He fought in the Great Patriotic War (1941-45). From 1960 to 1965 he was editor of the journal Druzhba narodov (Friendship of Peoples). His novels A Smell of Burning (1927) and Sons (1940) and his most important novel, The Discovery of the World (books 1–4, 1947-73), poetically depict Russian rural life before the Revolution and also portray the reorganization of the countryside during the Revolution.
