Biography

Daniil Andreev was the son of Leonid Andreev, a prominent Russian writer of the start of the century; Maxim Gorky was his godfather. After the infant's mother, Alexandra (Veligorsky) Andreeva, died during childbirth, Leonid Andreev gave the infant Daniil to his late wife's sister, Elizabeth Dobrov, to raise. This act had two important consequences: it meant that when Leonid Andreev, like many other writers and intellectuals, left Russia after the 1917 Russian Revolution, his young son remained behind; it also meant that Daniil was raised in a household that remained deeply religious, in contrast to much of the Russian intelligensia of the era. Portrait of Leonid Andreev Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev (Russian: , 1871-1919) was a Russian short story writer, who was active between the revolution of 1905 and the Communist revolution which finally overthrew the tsarist government. ... Aleksei Maksimovich Peshkov (In Russian Алексей Максимович Пешков) (March 28 [O.S. March 16] 1868–June 18, 1936), better known as Maxim Gorky (Максим Горький), was a Soviet/Russian author, a founder of the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. ... The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a series of political and social upheavals in Russia, involving first the overthrow of the tsarist autocracy, and then the overthrow of the liberal and moderate-socialist Provisional Government, resulting in the establishment of Soviet power under the control of the Bolshevik party. ...

Like many of his contemporaries, the boy Daniil had a pronounced literary bent; he began writing poetry and prose in early childhood. He graduated from high school but was not allowed to attend university, because of his "non-proletarian" background. He supported himself as a graphic artist and wrote in his spare time.

Daniil Andreev was conscripted into the Soviet Army in 1942. He served as a noncombatant, and during the Siege of Leningrad helped to transport supplies across Lake Ladoga. After World War II Andreev returned to civilian life, but was arrested by Soviet authorities in April 1947 and sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment, being accused of anti-Soviet propaganda and preparations to assassinate Stalin. He suffered a heart attack in prison in 1954, the first manifestation of the heart condition that would eventually cause his death.

Works

Almost all works that Andreev wrote before 1947, were destroyed by MGB as "anti-Soviet literature", including his novel Wanderers of Night (Russian: Странники ночи) about the spiritual opposition to the Soviet regime and atheism. Being imprisoned, however, Andreev managed to restore some of his poems. He also tried to restore Wanderers of Night, but he could only restore a few pages of it. Also some works of his childhood were kept by his friend, including his first poems written at the age of 8. 1947 (MCMXLVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1947 calendar). ...

His main book, Roza Mira (Russian: Роза Мира, literally "The Rose of the World") contains a detailed description of numerous layers of spiritual reality that surround Earth, of the forthcoming religion called Roza Mira that will emerge and unite all people and states, and of the events of the future advent of Antichrist and his fall. Roza Mira (full title in Russian: , literally ) is the title of the main book by Russian mystic Daniil Andreev. ... Antichrist is translated from the combination of two ancient Greek words αντί+χριστος (antí+khristos), which can mean anti opposite (of) khristos messiah thereforeopposite of Christ. Anti can also mean for or as. Thus in place of Christ is also a valid understanding of the term. ...

Apart from Roza Mira, he wrote a poem The Iron Mystery (Russian: Железная мистерия, published in 1990), a "poetic ensemble" (that is how he called it) Russian Gods (Russian: Русские боги, full text published in 1995) and other works.
