Abstract
This article considers the history of Russian thinking on the genre of biography, focusing on the Romantic and post-Romantic intellectual tradition that grants to the biographical subject the power to craft one’s own self. This tradition can still be found to be operative in the work of Yuri Lotman and Lydia Ginzburg.
