VISIT OUR EBAY STORE AGAIN- SINCE WE ADD NEW BOOKS & OTHER ITEMS REGULARLY ADDITIONAL INFO Boris Nikolaevich Polevoy (or Polevoi) (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Полево́й; March 17, 1908 – July 12, 1981) was a notable Soviet writer. He is the author of the book Story of a Real Man about a Soviet World War II fighter pilot Alexei Petrovich Maresiev (or Alexej Petrovich Maresjev). Boris Polevoy was a pseudonym for Boris Nikolaevich Kampov (1908–1981). He was born in Moscow in 1908, the son of a lawyer from a Russian Orthodox priest family. His parents were Nikolay Petrovich and Lidiya (Vasilyevna) Kampov. He was a graduate of the Tver Industrial Technical College (now Kalinin Industrial College). Prior to starting his career as a writer, he worked as a technologist at a textile factory in Kalinin. As he began his journalism career in 1928, his talents were such that he was chosen to be patronized by Maxim Gorky. His nom de plume has several variations based on transliterations. It was derived from translating Latin campus to Russian pole (′a field′). He is perhaps best known for his reporting on the atrocities at Auschwitz soon after its liberation, which were the first to have been published in Pravda. His accounts reportedly differ from what others found, including a description of a conveyor belt that first electrocuted, then transported inmates' corpses into a furnace. Polevoy began reporting for Pravda in 1939 or 1941. At the time, he was still serving in the Red Army as a lieutenant colonel. He would eventually attain the rank of colonel. He continued as a war correspondent for the newspaper until 1945. Story About a True Man (also translated as Story of a Real Man), based on the life of Alexey Maresyev, was an immensely popular novel. It was eventually made into an opera. It was first published in English in 1952, and was reprinted in 1970. The protagonist was also honored by having an asteroid named for him. He also served as a deputy to Supreme Soviet Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (R.S.F.S.R.) from 1951 to 1966 and was a member of the Soviet Union Communist Party from 1940 until his death. As such he was involved in party politics as a member of various organizations. He was chief editor of the literary youth magazine Yunost (Юность) from 1962 until his death and was a board member of the Union of Soviet Journalists from 1959. He also served on the Soviet Peace Committee and Bureau World Peace Council. For years, Polevoy exchanged a series of letters with Howard Fast, an American writer who had been a member of the Communist Party for 15 years, and best known as the author of Spartacus. The two had met briefly. Fast attempted to contact Polevoy when he decided to withdraw from the party, but there was no response from Polevoy. Fast decided to make his letters public. Polevoy eventually responded. Whether the delay was the result of the letters being intercepted or the result of Polevoy's reluctance to respond remains unclear. Polevoy writes that when he received Fast's news, that night I could not fall asleep. I kept thinking of your books. Their heroes crowded around me and together with them, as it were, I went over the whole situation. I felt sure that Gideon Jackson, who fought the good fight to the bitter end, would not have been less taken aback than I was by what happened. Neither would Spartacus, even if he did live at a time when there were neither the philosophical theories nor the practical experience that throw light over mankind's path today, a time without the cultural values of today or the progressive intellectuals bearing aloft the banner of peace at all circumstances." His popularity with Soviet readers never diminished. "Polevoy's books, articles, and political commentaries gained him an international readership well before the end of the war. He remained influential until his death in 1981, at which time he was secretary of the all-powerful Union of Soviet Writers," wrote Heddescheimer. During his lifetime, Polevoy was named a Hero of Socialist Labor and awarded the Stalin Prize for literature, three Orders of Lenin, two Red Banners, the Red Star, and the Gold Medal of the World Peace Council. -------------------------------------------------- Бори́с Никола́евич Полево́й (настоящая фамилия — Кампов; 4 (17) марта 1908, Москва — 12 июля 1981, там же) — русский советский прозаик и киносценарист, журналист, военный корреспондент.

Полевой находился в действующей армии в качестве корреспондента «Правды», в том числе на Калининском фронте (1942). Первым написал о подвиге 83-летнего крестьянина Матвея Кузьмича Кузьмина, повторившего, по мнению писателя, подвиг Ивана Сусанина. Славу и Сталинскую премию ему принесла написанная за 19 дней «Повесть о настоящем человеке» (повесть в 4 частях), посвящённая подвигу лётчика А. П. Маресьева. Только до 1954 года общий тираж её изданий составил 2,34 млн экземпляров. По повести поставлена одноимённая опера Сергея Прокофьева. Военные впечатления легли в основу книг: «От Белгорода до Карпат» (1945) «Повесть о настоящем человеке» (1946) «Мы — советские люди» (1948) «Золото» (1949—1950) Автор четырёх книг военных мемуаров «Эти четыре года». Менее известны материалы о его присутствии на Нюрнбергском процессе в качестве корреспондента газеты «Правда» — «В конце концов» (1969). Выступил на общемосковском собрании писателей 31 октября 1958 года, осудившем Б. Л. Пастернака, требовал выдворения его из СССР. С 1969 года до своей смерти занимал пост председателя Правления Советского фонда мира. В 1961—1981 годах — главный редактор журнала «Юность».

Депутат Верховного Совета РСФСР (1946—1958). Подписал Письмо группы советских писателей в редакцию газеты «Правда» 31 августа 1973 года о Солженицыне и Сахарове. В то же время, в 1965 году, как секретарь правления Союза писателей фактически отказался организовать «осуждение» Фриды Вигдоровой за защиту Иосифа Бродского, сказав: «Защищать её я не буду, но и топить не буду». Б. Н. Полевой умер 12 июля 1981 года. Похоронен в Москве на Новодевичьем кладбище (участок № 9).
