Russian poet. His real name was Efim Alekseevich Pridvorov. Born into a poor peasant family in southern Russia, he served in the military before graduating from St. Petersburg University. In 1912 he joined the Russian Communist Party and wrote a series of propaganda poems for Pravda and other party publications. His post-revolutionary poetry collections include In the Ring of Fire (1918), The Promised Land (1920), The Bearded Comrade (1926), and The Heroic Event (1937). All of his poems sing of the revolution and the construction of socialism in simple terms, earning him the title of "Poet Laureate of the Revolution."
