Biography of an unusual writer Evgeny Sazonov
Some details of the biography that were published in Literaturnaya Gazeta pointed to Evgeny Sazonov as a truly real and existing person.
It is known that Sazonov Evgeny was born in the city of Baraniy Rog in 1936. His grandfather was an auxiliary worker all his life, and his brother, whose name was also Eugene, was a creative person. He painted one picture where he portrayed a writer in a field next to a tractor and with his unfinished novel.
In 1954, he perfectly graduated from ten classes. As was published on the pages of the newspaper, at the end of school he had one triple in the certificate, but two medals: he received a gold medal for winning the hurdles, and the second medal was also for sports, but only silver. The fictional writer entered the Literary Institute four times, but was never able to pass the entrance exams.
The unusual writer also has a family. He met his first wife in the park, and already on the thirty-first of December 1968 he married her. In this marriage, Eugene was born. But this alliance collapsed very quickly.

In his own way, he even translated “The Divine Comedy,” which in his translation was called “Existing Hell.” He held a reading conference with students from the University of the Count of Luxembourg.
The writer Sazonov even had his own students: Ilya Toporishchin, Vladlen Zamursky and Vadim Ugorelykh.
Real authors
The first real author to create such a “fictional” writer was Mark Grigorievich Rozovsky, who was known as a playwright and director of the theater. He is also the founder of the Twelve Chairs club. Another co-author of such a character in literature was Vitaly Borisovich Reznikov, who was an employee of the editorial board of the Literary Newspaper.
The following writers and poets were included in this collective of Literary Newspaper, who came up with this image and its work: Vladimir Lifshits and Vladimir Volin, Vladimir Vladin and Vadim Levin, Vladlen Bakhnov and Nikita Bogoslovsky.
