Anton Vladimirovich Antonov-Ovseyenko (Russian: Анто́н Влади́мирович Анто́нов-Овсе́енко) (23 February 1920, Moscow, RSFSR – 9 July 2013, Moscow, Russia) was a Russian historian and writer.[1][2]
Born on 23 February 1920, he was the son of a Bolshevik military leader Vladimir Antonov-Ovseyenko.[3] In 1935, he joined the historical faculty of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. In 1938, he was expelled from Komsomol and the institute wherein, however, he was reinstated in the same year.[1]
He was arrested in 1940 and spent 13 years in labor camps.
Antonov-Ovseyenko is best known for his biography of Lavrentiy Beria and he also wrote several books.
Antonov-Ovseyenko operated a state museum on the Gulag, for which the Moscow administration provided a building in August 2001.[4][5]
When he died in 2013, he was still working two full days a week to continue documenting what he called "the evils of the Soviet era" and to help with plans for a new, larger space.[6]
