Aleksandr Kabakov was a Russian writer and journalist.[1] He was born in 1943 in Novosibirsk, where his family had been evacuated during World War II.[2] He studied mechanics and mathematics in Dnipropetrovsk, and worked in a missile factory after graduation. Eventually, he landed at the railroad industry newspaper Gudok [ru], where he worked for more than a decade; he also worked at Moscow News and Kommersant.[3][4]
He became well known during the Perestroika period for his dystopian novel No Return, which was translated into multiple languages and also adapted into a film.[5] The English translation was done by Thomas Whitney.[6] Other noted works include The Last Hero (1995) and Nothing's Lost (2003), which won the second jury prize from the Big Book Award and the Apollon Grigoriev Prize [ru].[7] With Yevgeny Popov, he co-wrote a book of reminiscences about the writer Vasily Aksyonov that was shortlisted for the 2012 Big Book Award.[8]
He died in Moscow in 2020.[9]
