Vishnevetsky, Igor

Igor Vishnevetsky was born in 1964. In 1986 he graduated from the Faculty of Philology at Moscow State University, and in 1996 received a PhD in Slavic languages from Brown University in the United States. Vishnevetsky has authored six collections of poetry, two monographs-one on Andrei Bely, the other on the Russian emigre composers of the 1920s and 1930s-and a 700-page-long biography of Sergei Prokofiev. Vishnevetsky splits his time between the US and Russia.
