Early life and education Volodymyr was born in Saint Petersburg, in the family of a newspaper technician and a midwife. He received his primary education in a real school, and later he graduated from the Voronezh Institute of Popular Education. He was fluent in English and Latin. After losing his father at the age of 15, he started working as a copyist in various print publications. His first publications dates to 1917, when he began working as a reporter. From 1917 to 1919 he worked as a feature writer for the Voronezh Commune newspaper, and from 1919 to 1921, as head of the propaganda department of Tsentropechat in Voronezh. Working at a newspaper in Leningrad and then in Voronezh, he signed his first publications as Vladimir Eremchenko. But a typographical error was made in the pages of one article: "Vlad" remained from the first word, and the ending "ko" from the second, leading him to adopt pseudonym "Vladko". He moved to Kharkov in 1921, where he worked as a literary employee of the editorial office of Kharkov Proletarian newspaper, a Ukrainian-language correspondent for the newspaper For Industrialisation and executive secretary of the Radio magazine. Vladko died on April 20, 1974,…Citește mai mult

Later he worked as a literary employee of the editorial office of Socialist Kharkivshchyna newspaper. In October 1935 the Kyiv magazine completed the publication of Volodymyr Vladko's fantastic novel "The Argonauts of the Universe". It had an enormous success, so "Dytvydav" publishing house immediately signed an agreement with the 34-year-old author. In a well-twisted plot of "The Argonauts of the Universe" it was the first time when the main heroes went to Venus, not the Mars or the Moon. The story contains a lot of astronomical curiosities, as well as an exotic route of an interplanetary expedition and the first Ukrainian "literary" astronaut. The 1956…Citește mai mult
