1904

Nikolai Alekseyevich Ostrovsky (Николай Алексеевич Островский; Микола Олексійович Островський; 29 September 1904 – 22 December 1936) was a Soviet socialist realist writer.

He is best known for his novel How the Steel Was Tempered.

1914

In 1914, his family moved to the railroad town of Shepetivka (today in Khmelnytskyi Oblast) where Ostrovsky started working in the kitchens at the railroad station, a timber yard, then becoming a stoker's mate and then an electrician at the local power station.

1917

In 1917, at the age of thirteen he became a Bolshevik party activist.

At the same period he developed ankylosing spondylitis, which would later blind and paralyze him.

1918

According to the official biography, when the Germans occupied the town in the spring of 1918, Ostrovsky ran errands for the local Bolshevik underground.

In July 1918 he joined the Komsomol and the Red Army in August.

He served in the Kotovsky cavalry brigade.

1920

In 1920 he was reportedly wounded near Lviv and contracted typhus.

He returned to the army only to be wounded again and was demobilized on medical grounds.

1921

In 1921, he began working in railway workshops of Kiev as an electrician and as the secretary of the local Komsomol.

1922

Having rheumatism and typhus, in August 1922 he was sent to Berdyansk, a resort on the Sea of Azov, for treatment.

In October 1922 he was officially declared an invalid; however he continued working.

1923

In 1923 he was appointed Commissar of the Red Army's Second Training Battalion and Komsomol secretary for Berezdiv in western Ukraine.

1924

In January 1924 he went to Iziaslav as the head of Komsomol district committee and in August 1924 he joined the Communist Party.

1925

In 1925, with his health rapidly declining, he went to Kharkiv for medical treatment and in May 1926 he went to a sanatorium in the Crimea.

1926

By December 1926 polyarthritis deprived him of almost all mobility and he became virtually bedridden.

1927

In December 1927 Ostrovsky began a correspondence course at the Sverdlov Communist University in Moscow that he completed in June 1929.

In August, he lost his vision.

1930

Undaunted by his immobility and blindness, in 1930, he began work on his first novel, How the Steel Was Tempered, which became renowned and influential in the Communist world.

He also wrote articles for newspapers and journals and spoke often on the radio.

1932

In April 1932 he became a member of the Moscow branch of the Association of Proletarian Writers and in June 1934 he joined the Union of Soviet Writers.

1936

After living for years with paralysis, illness and blindness due to congenital ankylosing spondylitis as well as complications from typhus, Ostrovsky died on 22 December 1936, aged 32.

Because of his early death, he was unable to complete his second novel, Born of the Storm, on the Russian Civil War.

His novel How the Steel Was Tempered is considered one of the most influential works of Communist literature.

In Moscow during the Communist period the Ostrovsky Museum and the Ostrovsky Humanitarian centre were built.

They preserve his study and bedroom, while other exhibits include showcases of the achievements of disabled people like Nikolai Fenomenov and Ludmilla Rogova.

There also was established by the Central Committee of Komsomol of Ukraine the Ostrovsky Republican Prize.

2020

Ostrovsky was born in the village of Viliya (today a village in Rivne Raion (until 2020 it was situated in Ostroh Raion), Rivne Oblast) in the Volhynian Governorate (Volhynia), then part of the Russian Empire, into a Ukrainian working-class family.

He attended a parochial school until he was nine and was an honor student.

Hence Kyiv's Ostrovsky Park was renamed Mykola Zerov Park in 2020.

A monument to Ostrovsky in Shepetivka was dismantled in December 2022 after the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture and Information Policy had removed it from its list of "monumental art of local significance".

"The dearest possession of any person is life. It is given only once, and it must not be lived only to feel tortured by regrets for wasted years or to know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that when dying you have a right to say: all my life, all my strength was given to the finest cause in the world – the fight for the liberation of humankind."
