Aleksey Pavlovich Bibik – a Russian Soviet working-class writer and playwright, and a revolutionary. He was born in Kharkov into the family of a worker-turner. After graduating from the city vocational school, Bibik worked as a turner, draftsman, and designer at the Kharkov railway workshops. Since 1895 he was a member of the RSDLP (Russian Social Democratic Labour Party).
Bibik’s active revolutionary activities led to persecution and exile by the tsarist authorities. In 1900 and 1903 he was arrested and exiled to the Vyatka and Arkhangelsk governorates, respectively. The Revolution of 1905 freed him. From late 1905 until 1911 he lived underground. He then worked as a designer in Riga, and after moving to Rostov-on-Don held several different jobs. From 1932 he devoted himself entirely to literature.
In 1938 Bibik was arrested, and he spent 17 years in GULAG camps. After his release at the end of 1946 his civil rights were restored, but his works were published only in 1955. From the mid-1950s he lived permanently in the Stavropol region in the town of Mineralnye Vody. Aleksey Pavlovich Bibik passed away on 18 November 1976 in Mineralnye Vody.
