Dmitri Kryuchkov

His second book of poetry was titled "Tsvety Ledyanye" (Icy Flowers) and was published in 1914, featuring poems exclusively about winter landscapes.

In autumn 1922, he met with Leonid Feodorov, Exarch of the Russian Greek Catholic Church.

He was sent to Irkutsk politizolator (political prison), and eventually transferred to the Osinovskoye subcamp (lagotdelenie) of Siblag, where he worked in the mines of Aralichev and Osinovka.

On December 22, 1932, he was released from the camp ahead of time with banned residence in 12 major cities and the Ural region.

Since January 1933, Kryuckkov lived in Yaroslavl, where he was again arrested in 1936 and sentenced to 15 years in labor camps.
