History / Biographical NoteBiographical noteIl'ia Grigor'evich Savchenko (1889-1961) was a Russian imperial army officer who worked as a journalist and literary critic in the Russian émigré press in France. Savchenko was born in Belaia Tserkov, a city near Kiev, on January 25, 1889. He served as an officer in the Kuban Cossack Army. During the Civil War, he fought in the White Army, and then emigrated to Czechoslovakia when the war ended. Savchenko graduated from the Russkii iuridicheskii fakul'tet v Prage (Russian Juridical Institute in Prague), apparently intending to work as a professor of international law. He became president of Ob"edineniie russkikh, okonchivshikh vysshie uchebnye zavedeniia (OROVUZ; Society of Russians Who Have Graduated from Institutes of Higher Education) in approximately 1930. Around the same time, he began to work on the Paris-based Russian émigré publication Posledniia novosti. I. G. Savchenko married Nataliia Gotcherenko. He died in France on December 16, 1961, and is buried with his wife in the Cimitiére de l'église, Roquefort-les-Pins. Savchenko's name is also commonly spelled in its French form, Élie Savtchenko. This may be due to the relatively broad availability of Vladimir Lazarevski's French translation of Savchenko's memoirs, Les Insurgés du Kouban: La Guerre des Rouges et des Blancs, (Paris: Payot, 1929). |
