Lev Alexandrovich Anninsky (Russian: Лев Александрович Аннинский, 7 April 1934 – 6 November 2019) was a Soviet and Russian literary critic, historian, publicist, essayist and author of more than 30 books. He was also a scriptwriter, and as such the three times TEFI laureate (1996 and 2004, twice). Anninsky was born in Rostov-on-Don, to Alexander Anninsky, a cossack from stanitsa Novo-Anninskaya, and Anna (Khana Zalmanovna) Alexandrova, born in Lyubech, Ukraine. His grandmother Bronislava Gershenovich was murdered in 1921 on a country road by members of the Chernigov-based Ivan Galaka's gang, for being Jewish. In his early years he read a lot, mostly Russian classics and history books, but also philosophers like Hegel and Kant. In 1939, as a five-year-old, he appeared on screen, cast as a kindergarten boy in the film The Foundling (Подкидыш). Anninsky's father, originally a school teacher, later a Mosfilm producer, 1941 went to War and was gone missing. As Anninsky learned years later, he got injured during the German aviation raid in mid-1942 near Polotsk, was captured and was later shot dead by the Ukrainian polizei. Anninsky's mother taught chemistry in a technical college for the rest of her life. In 1956, still a student at the Moscow University philological faculty, Anninsky debuted as a literary critic with the analysis of Vladimir Dudintsev's novel Not by Bread Alone.
