Biography

edit

Anton Utkin was born on March 24, 1967[1] in Moscow where he has always lived.[2] During his high school years, he also attended classes at the Gnessine School of Music. After his military service, he studied at the Faculty of History of Moscow State University, Department of Source Studies of Russian History.[2]

Writer

edit

He started to work on his first novel at the same time as he was working on his final dissertation.[3] His first novel Horovod (Round dance), published in the Novy mir literary magazine in 1996,[4] was one of the six finalists of the Russian Booker Prize in 1997,[5][6] one of the most important literary awards in Russia. In 1998 Utkin released his second novel, Samoučki (The Autodidacts), also published by Novy Mir.[7] These two novels made his name known. They have been translated into French,[8] German[9] and Chinese.[10][11] According to Marc Weinstein, a French specialist in Russian literature, the two novels of Anton Outkine "overcome the psychological and social darkness of the last two decades of the twentieth century and introduce us to an expression of literary vitalisme".[12]

Director

edit

After obtaining a master's degree in history in 1992, three years later Utkin entered the script department of the Higher Courses of Scriptwriters and Directors under the State Television Committee (workshop of Natalya Ryazantseva) where he became interested in documentary films. In 2005, he finished his first documentary Step (The Steppe).[13]
