Kondratiev, Alexander

Tagged: Author.

(1876-1967) Russian writer, all of whose books combine various mythological and religious systems in order to create a new supreme being, the demonic female who rules the world. This female appears For the first time in She-satyr (1907), where she is the daughter of Pan and the holy virgin Artemis (see Goddess). In the beginning Kondratiev was carried away with Greek mythology, but in the 1930s he turned to Russian folklore. At this time he wrote On the Shores of Volyn River (1930), based on his first published story, "The Goblin" (1901), along with many poems and anthropological articles. Forced to leave Russia in 1939, Kondratiev died almost 30 years later in a New York hospital. [CMK]
