Viktor Borisovich Shklovsky was born on January 24, 1893, in St. Petersburg, Russia. His father, named Boris Shklovsky, was a teacher. Shklovsky himself described his family as Jewish-German Russians. Young Shklovsky showed a strong and unusual character. He dropped out of school, but later graduated with honors from a Gymnazium in St. Petersburg. Shklovsky was fond of literature since his young years.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Sklovsky took part in the anti-Communist treason.

1918

From 1918-1922 Shklovsky lived in St. Petersburg. He joined the literary group Serapionovy Bratya (The Serapion Brothers). The group was initiated by Yevgeni Zamyatin who professed that "true literature can be created only by madmen, hermits, heretics, dreamers, rebels, and skeptics" at his literary seminars with aspiring writers. They took their name from the story of E. T. A. Hoffmann titled 'Serapion Brothers', about artistic freedom. The group included Mikhail Zoschenko, Lev Lunts, Konstantin Fedin, Nikolai Tikhonov, Mikhail Slonimsky, Vsevolod Ivanov, and Veniamin Kaverin. The Serapion Brothers was under patronage of critic and writer Yuri Tynyanov. They also attended seminars of Korney Ivanovich Chukovskiy. They lived in the famous artistic community known as 'Dom Iskusstv' (House of Arts) in a former aristocratic palace on the Nevsky Prospect in St. Petersburg. The writers of the group were non-conformists and were in opposition to the official Moscow-based Soviet literature. Their leader Yevgeni Zamyatin fearlessly criticized the Soviet policy of "Red Terror" and intimidation of intellectuals. Some writers of the Serapion Brothers' group were under severe criticism and were censored.

1920

Shklovsky was initially under pressure from Soviet officials during the ideological struggle of the 1920's.

During the 1920's he collaborated in the magazine "LEF" and publisher Osip Brik.

He experienced hard times trying to make a living as a writer in Germany. He described that time in 'Zoo. Pisma ne o lyubvi ili tretya Eloiza' (Zoo. Letters not about love, or the third Eloiza) an erotic novel about Brik's sister, Elsa Triolet, and the author's romance with her.

1924

In 1924, with the help of his friend Vladimir Mayakovsky, Shklovsky obtained permission to return to Russia. Shklovsky moved to Moscow and joined the circle of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lilya Brik, whom he knew earlier in St. Petersburg.

1930

During the 1930's Shklovsky had to comply with the official system under the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He survived by adopting the methods of "socialist realism" in his writings. He eventually made an impressive career as a literary critic and film-writer, rising to Member of the Board of the Soviet Writers' Union at the time of "Thaw" that was initiated by Nikita Khrushchev. Viktor Shklovsky was among the leaders of cross-cultural studies in Russia. His best known works are his memoirs and his literary biographies of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lev Tolstoy.
