Boris Polevoy
Boris Nikolayevich Polevoy (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Полево́й; 17 March [O.S. 4 March] 1908 – 12 July 1981) was a Soviet and Russian writer, screenwriter, journalist and war correspondent. He is the author of the book The Story of a Real Man about Soviet World War II fighter pilot Aleksey Maresyev.
Boris Polevoy was a pseudonym for Boris Nikolayevich Kampov. He was born in Moscow in 1908, the son of a lawyer from a Russian Orthodox priest family. His parents were Nikolay Petrovich and Lidiya (Vasilyevna) Kampov. He was a graduate of the Tver Industrial Technical College (now Kalinin Industrial College).
Prior to starting his career as a writer, he worked as a technologist at a textile factory in Kalinin. As he began his journalism career in 1928, his talents were such that he was chosen to be patronized by Maxim Gorky.
His nom de plume has several variations based on transliterations. It was derived from translating Latin campus to Russian pole (″a field″).
He is perhaps best known for his reporting on the atrocities at Auschwitz soon after its liberation, which were the first to have been published in Pravda.
Polevoy began reporting for Pravda in 1939 or 1941. At the time, he was still serving in the Red Army as a lieutenant colonel. He would eventually attain the rank of colonel. He continued as a war correspondent for the newspaper until 1945.
Story About a True Man (also translated as Story of a Real Man), based on the life of Aleksey Maresyev, was an immensely popular novel. It was eventually made into an opera by Prokofiev. It was first published in English in 1952, and was reprinted in 1970. The protagonist was also honored by having an asteroid named for him.
He also served as a deputy to Supreme Soviet Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (R.S.F.S.R.) from 1951 to 1966 and was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1940 until his death. As such he was involved in party politics as a member of various organizations. He was chief editor of the literary youth magazine Yunost (Юность [ru]) from 1962 until his death and was a board member of the Union of Soviet Journalists from 1959. He also served on the Soviet Peace Committee and Bureau World Peace Council.
