Viktor Muyzhel

Viktor Vasilyevich Muyzhel (Russian: Ви́ктор Васи́льевич Муйжель; July 30, 1880 - February 3, 1924) was a writer and painter.

The Russian countryside is the setting for most of his works of fiction, including his novel The Year (1911).

He was influenced by Narodnik ideology and in many of his works depicted peasant unrest.

Some of Muyzhel's works detail the stagnant bourgeois way of life in pre-revolutionary Russia.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Muyzhel wrote short stories, novellas, and the play Spring Wind (1923).
