Nikolai Vladimirovich Nekrasov

Nikolai Vladimirovich Nekrasov (Russian: Николай Владимирович Некрасов) (18 December 1900 – 4 October 1938) was a Soviet Esperanto writer, translator, and critic.

On 1 June 1922 Nekrasov together with Gregory Demidyuk founded the cultural review La Nova Epoko [eo] (The New Epoch), which became one of the organs of SAT.

In 1923 he became a member of the Central Committee of Sovetlanda Esperantista Unuiĝo [eo] (SEU) (ru: Soyuz Esperantistov Sovetskikh Stran), then under the leadership of Ernest Drezen.

Nekrasov believed that in his original poems he followed the Russian symbolist poets, especially Bryusov, and so he took special care with the purity of his language style.

It is known that the largest of his original works was the grand poem "Kazanovo" (en:Casanova) — which according to the impressions of those who read the manuscript, was at a very high level poetically.
