ANDREEV, Leonid Nicolaievitsh, Russian author, born in 1871, died in 1919. He studied law at the Universities of Moscow and Petrograd, but finding his practice unremunerative he became a police-court reporter for a daily paper. At the age of twenty-three he attempted suicide, driven to it by his miserable circumstances and struggle for existence. His first story, _About a Poor Student_, based upon his own experiences, attracted but little attention, and his literary career really began when Gorky discovered his talent. He was one of the most prolific Russian writers, the short story being his speciality. He was a mystic and a fatalist, like so many of his compatriots. His works include: _The Red Laugh_ (1905); _The Seven who were Hanged_ (1909); _Judas Iscariot and the Others_ (1910); _A Dilemma_ (1910); _Silence and Other Stories_, &c. His works have been translated into many European languages.
