Arkady Petrovich Golikov (Russian: Арка́дий Петро́вич Го́ликов; (January 22 [O.S. January 9] 1904 — October 26, 1941), better known as Arkady Gaidar (Арка́дий Гайда́р), was a Soviet writer, whose stories were very popular among Soviet children.
Gaidar was born in the town of Lgov in Imperial Russia, now in Kursk Oblast, Russia, to a family of teachers. Gaidar spent his childhood in Arzamas. In August 1918, Gaidar became a member of the Bolsheviks, volunteering for the Red Army in December of that year, still aged only 14. During the Russian Civil War, at the age of 16, he became commander of a regiment. He participated in the suppression of several anti-communist uprisings, among them the Antonovshchina uprising. On several occasions Gaidar was wounded in combat. He retired from the army in 1924 due to a contusion. A year later, Gaidar began publishing his literary works. His story "RVS" (1926) defined his further life in many respects: Gaidar found his vocation in writing children's literature, telling stories of front-line camaraderie and the romanticism of the revolutionary struggle. His story "Timur and his squad" (1940) made Gaidar famous. The character Timur was named after, and partially based on, Gaidar's son. A captivating account of an altruistic pioneer youth gave birth to the mass Timur movement among Young Pioneers and other children's organizations all over the Soviet Union.

Genres: ,Natural order of things
The first lie and farewell kiss
Homo sum et nihil humanum
Nylon, plastic uranium, plutonium
Breathe in
Breathe out
In the basilica of the human body
Obey the law of flesh ever burning
Ten commandments of oxygen and carbon
Entombed in a pyramid of skin
Communicating vessels, acid, electricity
What a useless mechanism
Behind the walls of protein prison
Crowned with barbed wire of DNA
Imprisoned is this piece of shit
Are we indeed fingerprints of God?
Zero one zero zero one...
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
One one zero one zero one...
A human being
What a shame
I think therefore I am
What a waste
