Yury Krymov (Russian: Ю́рий Кры́мов) is the pen name of Soviet novelist Yury Solomonovich Beklemishev (Ю́рий Соломо́нович Беклеми́шев; 19 January 1908 – 20 September 1941). The variants Yuri Krimov and Iurii Krymov are common transliterations.
Beklemishev was born in Saint Petersburg in the Russian Empire. His birth date is 6 January in the Julian calendar used by the Empire, or 19 January in the Gregorian calendar used by other countries at the time and later adopted by the USSR. Beklemishev 's father, Solomon Yuryevich Kopelman, was an editor at the Brier publishing firm. However, Yuri took the surname of his mother, Vera Yvgenyevna Beklemisheva.
Beklemishev graduated from Moscow State University in 1930 and first found work building a radio station. In 1932 he joined Narkomvod ("the People's Commissariat of Water Transport") and in 1936 he served on the oil tanker Profintern on the Caspian Sea, and saw the Stakhanovite movement take hold. As well as serving on the Profintern, Beklemishev was an engineer in a shipyard on the Caspian. He then returned to Moscow and in 1938 completed his first published novel, Tanker "Derbent".
Beklemishev volunteered for the Red Army and joined the Communist Party in response to the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. He was a military journalist at the front and was with the Soviet 26th Army on the Southwestern Front when invading German forces encircled almost the entire front in the Battle of Kiev in August – September 1941. Beklemishev was killed near Kiev on 20 September 1941.
