Yevgeny Zamyatin
Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin was a Russian writer born in 1884.
He studied naval engineering and joined the Bolshevik Party as a student.
Zamyatin's most famous work, the anti-utopian novel We, was published in 1924 and influenced later dystopian literature.
The book was banned in the Soviet Union for its critique of totalitarianism.
Zamyatin faced political persecution and eventually emigrated to Paris in 1931, where he lived until his death.

Zamyatin's work was not fully recognized in his homeland until his rehabilitation in 1988, decades after his death.
