Life
Anna Mitrofanovna Avinova was born in the Caucasus. Some sources give 1868 as her year of birth,[2] and others 1869.[1] [3] She married the literary critic Evgeny Anichkov and moved to Paris in the late 1890s, establishing a literary salon there which attracted writers like Anatole France and Vlacheslav Ivanov. She wrote novels in French, and contributed to Revue de Paris, Revue Bleu and Figaro.[4]
In 1909 the couple returned to Russia, and she began writing short fiction for the 'thick periodicals' there. After the Russian Revolution in 1917 she concentrated on translation rather than fiction.[4]
