Andrei Platonov (Russian: Андре́й Плато́нов , ] ; August 28 [O.S. August 16] 1899 – January 5, 1951) was the pen name of Andrei Platonovich Klimentov (Russian: Андре́й Плато́нович Климе́нтов ), a Soviet Russian writer, playwright, and poet, whose works anticipate existentialism.
 Although Platonov was a Communist, most of his works were banned in his own lifetime for their skeptical attitude toward collectivization and other Stalinist policies, as well as for its experimental, avant-garde form.
 His famous works include the novels "The Foundation Pit" (Котлован) and "" (Чевенгур)
Alexander Ivanovich Vvedensky (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ива́нович Введе́нский ; 1904–1941) was a Russian poet and dramatist with formidable influence on "unofficial" and avant-garde art during and after the times of the Soviet Union.
 Vvedensky is widely considered (among contemporary Russian writers and literary scholars) as one of the most original and important authors to write in Russian in the early Soviet period.
 He is placed on par with writers such as Andrei Platonov for innovation in the language.
 Vvedensky considered his own poetry "a critique of reason more powerful than Kant's."
