“Book Descriptions: Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko (July 27, 1853 – December 25, 1921) was a Ukrainian-Russian short story writer, journalist, human rights activist and humanitarian. His short stories were known for their harsh description of nature based on his experience of exile in Siberia. Korolenko was a strong critic of the Tsarist regime, and, in his final years, of the Bolsheviks.” DRIVE
