Fyodor Kryukov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fyodor Dmitrievich Kryukov (?-1920) was a Cossack writer and soldier in the White Army, died in 1920 of Typhoid fever[1]. Various literary critics, most notably Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and I. N. Medvedeva-Tomashevskaya (under pseudonym "D."), claimed that Mikhail Sholokov plagiarised his work in order to write major parts of And Quiet Flows the Don[1]. This is also the conclusion of a statistical analysis by V. P. and T. G. Fomenko[1]. The conclusion has been thrown in question by more a more recent analysis. Ze'ev Bar-Sela, believes that although the book was plagiarised, it was plagiarised from a man called Vinyamin Alekseevich Krasnushkin[1], and not from Kryukov. Kryukov is mentioned at length in Solzhenitsyn's novel November 1916 where he is called "Fyodor Dmitrievich Kovynev".
