Sergey Alexandrovich Alexeyev (Russian: Серге́й Алекса́ндрович Алексе́ев, 26 September 1868, Kazan, Imperial Russia, — 5 December 1922, Yalta, Soviet Russia) was a Russian playwright, better known under his pen name Naydyonov (Найдёнов), another one being Rogozhin (Рогожин). His debut play, the semi-autobiographical Vanyushin's Children (Deti Vanyushina, Дети Ванюшина, 1901) proved to be his most famous one and is considered part of the classic Russian drama legacy.[1] It earned him the Griboyedov Prize which he shared that year with Maxim Gorky (The Philistines) and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (In Dreams). His other notable plays include The Life of Avdotya (Avdotyina zhizn, Авдотьина жизнь, 1904), praised by Maxim Gorky and Walls (Steny, Стены, 1907).[2][3][4]
