Biography Born on August 26, 1870 in the district town of Narovchat, Penza province, in the family of an official, hereditary nobleman, Ivan Ivanovich Kuprin (), who died a year after the birth of his son. Mother, Lyubov Alekseevna (), nee Kulunchakova, came from a family of Tatar princes (a noblewoman, she did not have a princely title). After the death of her husband, she moved to Moscow, where the future writer spent his childhood and adolescence. At the age of six, the boy was sent to the Moscow Razumovsky boarding school (orphanage), from where he left in 1880. In the same year he entered the Second Moscow Cadet Corps. In 1887 he was graduated from the Alexander Military School. Subsequently, he would describe his “military youth” in the stories “At the Turning Point (Cadets)” and in the novel “Junkers.” Kuprin’s first literary experience were poems that remained unpublished. The first work to see the light was the story “The Last Debut” (1889). In 1890, Kuprin, with the rank of second lieutenant, was released into the 46th Dnieper Infantry Regiment, stationed in the Podolsk province (in Proskurov). The life of an officer, which he led for four years, provided rich material for his future works. Over the years, his story “In the Dark,” the stories “On a Moonlit Night” and “Inquiry” were published in the St. Petersburg magazine “Russian Wealth.” Kuprin has several stories on the army theme: “Overnight” (1897), “Night Shift” (1899), “Hike.” In 1894, Kuprin retired and moved to Kyiv, without any civilian profession. In the following years, he traveled a lot around Russia, trying many professions, greedily absorbing life impressions, which became the basis of his future works. In the 1890s, he published the essay “Yuzovsky Plant” and the story “Moloch”, the story “Wilderness of the Forest”, the story “Olesya " and "Kat" ("Army Ensign"), in 1901 the story "The Werewolf." During these years, Kuprin met Bunin, Chekhov and Gorky. In 1901 he moved to St. Petersburg and began working as secretary of the “Magazine for Everyone.” Kuprin's stories appeared in St. Petersburg magazines: “Swamp” (1902), “Horse Thieves” (1903), “White Poodle” (1903). In 1905, his most significant work, the story “The Duel,” was published, which was a great success. The writer’s performances reading individual chapters of “The Duel” became an event in the cultural life of the capital. His other works of this time: the stories “Staff Captain Rybnikov” (1906), “River of Life”, “Gambrinus” (1907), the essay “Events in Sevastopol” (1905). Kuprin’s work in the years between the two revolutions resisted the decadent mood of those years: the cycle of essays “Listrigons” (), stories about animals, the stories “Shulamith” (1908), “Garnet Bracelet” (1911). His prose has become a notable phenomenon in Russian literature. In 1915, Kuprin completed work on the story “The Pit,” in which he talks about the life of prostitutes in Russian brothels. The story was condemned for being, according to critics, excessive naturalism. After the Bolsheviks seized power, the writer did not accept the policy of war communism and the terror associated with it. In 1918, I went to Lenin with a proposal to publish a newspaper for the village “Zemlya”. He worked at the World Literature publishing house, founded by Gorky. He was arrested, spent three days in prison, was released and added to the list of hostages. He lived in Gatchina. In the fall of 1919, with the arrival of the Whites, he entered the North-Western Army with the rank of lieutenant and was appointed editor of the army newspaper "Prinevsky Krai", headed by General P. N. Krasnov. After the defeat of the North-Western Army, he emigrated abroad. For seventeen years, which the writer spent in Paris, contrary to the opinion of Soviet literary studies, was a fruitful period. In 1937, at the invitation of the USSR government, he returned to his homeland. On the night of August 25, 1938, he died after a serious illness. He was buried in Leningrad on the Literary Bridge, next to Turgenev’s grave.

………………………………………………………According to the version of Soviet literary criticism, Kuprin, almost forcibly mobilized by the whites and ending up in exile due to a misunderstanding, did not write anything worthwhile abroad. In fact, he was exempt from military service due to For health reasons, fifty-year-old Kuprin volunteered to join the White Army; he wrote about the officers of the North-Western Army: “Only people of excessively high fighting qualities coexisted among the officers. In this army it was impossible to hear such definitions about an officer as brave, courageous, courageous, heroic, and so on. There were two definitions: a good officer or, occasionally, yes, if in hand.” Seeing his duty in the fight against the Bolsheviks, he was proud of serving in this army; he could have gone into formation and into position. As an expensive relic in exile, he kept the field shoulder straps of a lieutenant and a three-color sleeve corner sewn by Elizaveta Moritsevna. After the defeat, having already been in prison and as a hostage, he saved himself and his family from terror. The writer did not accept dictatorship as a form of power; he called Soviet Russia the Soviet Russia. About Kuprin’s return to the USSR, 1937, “Pravda” During the years of emigration, Kuprin wrote three long stories, many short stories, articles and essays. His prose brightened noticeably. If “The Duel” reduces the image of a noble tsarist officer almost to the level of a modern officer, then “Junkers” are filled with the spirit of the Russian army, invincible and immortal. “I would like,” Kuprin said, for the past that is gone forever, our schools, our cadets, our life, customs, traditions to remain at least on paper and not disappear not only from the world, but even from the memory of people. Juncker is my testament to Russian youth.” According to the version of Soviet literary criticism, Kuprin, who was almost forcibly mobilized by the Whites and ended up in emigration due to a misunderstanding, did not write anything worthwhile abroad.
