Nikolay Viktorovich Abramov, also spelled Nikolai, (January 24, 1961 – January 23, 2016) was a Russian ethnic Vepsian writer, translator, journalist and poet. He was a leading proponent of the Veps language, as well as Vepsian literature and culture in Russia. The Vepsians are a Finnic people of northern Russia whose language belongs to the Uralic languages.
Life and career
[edit]Abramov composed poems and literature in both Vepsian and Russian, which have been translated into more than 20 languages.[1] He was the author of seven collections of poetry, which have been released in Vepsian, Russian, Estonian, French and Hungarian.[1]
Abramov first published his poetry in the Finnish-language journal, Punalippu, in February 1989.[2] His book, Koumekümne koume, which was released in 1994, was the first Vepsian-language book of literature ever published.[2]
He was accepted into the Writers' Union of Russia in 1998[1] and was also a member of Karelian Writers' Union.[1] The Russian Republic of Karelia named him an "Honored Worker of Culture of the Republic of Karelia."[1] The Barents Euro-Arctic Region cultural center in Overkalix, Sweden, awarded Abramov a literary prize in August 2006.[3]
In 2013, a collection of eighty Vepsian language poems Оять-ёген рандал... (Ojat-jogjen randal...) written by Abramov, was published. This collection is believed to be the third Veps language book to be written using the Cyrillic alphabet in history.[2] Traditionally, the Veps language is written in the Latin script.[2]
In addition to his literary work, Abramov served as head bibliographer for the National Library of the Republic of Karelia in Petrozavodsk.[1]
