He was born in Kimry, Tver Governorate (near Moscow) in 1901, the son of a feldscher—a second-class officer of health. His childhood was spent in Vilna, then in the Ural mountains, in various small places along the Siberian coastline where it fronts Japan, and in the Siberian forest. He attended school in Vladivostok.
Shortly after the Revolution of October 1917, he joined the Bolshevik Party in 1918 and took part in the guerrilla movement against the Japanese interventionists and the White Army during the Russian Civil War.
He began writing full-time around 1922 and became a member of the ruling body of the Fellowship of Proletarian Writers. He was the author of The Rout (also known as The Nineteen); The Last of the Udege (1930); and The Young Guard, for which he was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1946.
He committed suicide in Peredelkino, Moscow Oblast, in 1956 at the age of 54. He is buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow.
