Gaito Gazdanov (1903-1971) was a Russian émigré writer. He was born in St. Petersberg but left Russia during the 1917 revolution. He lived in Paris from 1923 to 1953 and then moved to Munich to become an editor with Radio Liberty. He wrote only in Russian, though his work has since been translated into many languages.
