This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Ivan Antonovich (Antipovich) Yefremov (also spelled Efremov), (1908-1972), was a famous Russian Speculative Fiction writer, a noted paleontologist, a sailor, and a social thinker. Born in 1908 in a timber merchant family, he had a pretty rough childhood. During Romanovs and Revolutions his parents divorced, and his mother moved with him from Saint Petersburg to Kherson in Ukraine, where she met a Red Army commander, married him, and left her kids with an aunt. The said aunt soon died from typhus, and young Vanya (just 12 at the time) basically had to care for his siblings alone. He soon banded with a Red Army regiment and fought with them in the Crimean Campaign of the Russian Civil War. After the war ended, he moved to Saint Petersburg again to continue his education and completed the school in just three years. In 1922, sixteen at the time, he added a year to his age to enter the Merchant Marine Classes to study as a navigator, to complete them also in a record time. |
