- KOROLENKO, VLADIMIR GALAKTIONOVICH°
- KOROLENKO, VLADIMIR GALAKTIONOVICH° (1853–1921), Russian
writer. One of the most illustrious representatives of the liberal
Russian intelligentsia of the turn of the century, Korolenko was very
active in many humanitarian causes, and was also among the most vocal
opponents of antisemitism in Russia. He began by publicly condemning the
pogroms of 1881–82. In his Skazaniye o flore, Agrippe i Menakheme,
syn Yegudy ("Tale of Florius, Agrippa and Menahem ben Judah"
(1886), in: Ocherki i Razskazy (vol. 3, 18942) he
not only condemns persecution of the Jews, but has his Jewish
protagonist voice the view that the Jews will achieve equality through
armed struggle, and only then will human brotherhood prevail.
Antisemitic prejudice is mocked in gentle tones in Sudny den
("The Day of Atonement"), in Ocherki i Razskazy,
1888–942 (Brit. ed. The Murmuring Forest; 1916)
and in Makar's Dream, a fantastic tale in the Gogolian
tradition, while Dom Nomer 13 ("House No. 13," 1903) is an
angry denunciation of the
murderous pogrom in kishinev . Korolenko's prolific journalistic
writings include numerous articles about the notorious blood-libel trial
of mendel beilis in 1913.
