Boris Pilnyak, (1894-c.1937) was a Russian author. Born Boris Andreyevich Vogau, he was a major supporter of antiurbanism and a critic of mechanized society. These views often brought him into suspicion with Communist critics. His most famous works are The Naked Year, Mahogany, and The Volga Falls into the Caspian Sea, which were all novels concerning revolutionary and post-revolutionary Russia. Another of his well-known works is OK, an unflattering travelogue of his 1931 visit to the United States.
