The novel 'Runaway' (1925) was translated by L. Savelev, the pseudonym of Leonid Lipavskii (1904–1941), a poet and one of the founders of the avant-garde collective OBERIU (the Union of Real Art). In the summer of 1941, Lipavskii served as a correspondent on the Baltic Front and was reported missing in action.
