Vincas Krėvė-Mickevičius

Vincas Mickevičius, known as Krėvė, was born on 19 October 1882 in Subartonys, in Dzūkija. A philologist trained in Kyiv and Lviv, he lived from 1909 in Baku, where he was later consul of Lithuania, then taught at the University of Kaunas, whose faculty of humanities he directed. A member in 1940 of the so-called people's government installed under the Soviet occupation, he soon sought to resign from it. Having left for Austria in 1944, he reached the United States in 1947, taught Slavic languages at the University of Pennsylvania and died in that state in 1954.
