Nikolai Yevgenyevich Virta ((ロシア語:Никола́й Евге́ньевич Вирта́)) (real name Karelsky) ( - January 3, 1976) was a Soviet writer who developed the theory of "conflictless" drama.〔Edward J. Brown, ''Russian Literature Since the Revolution'' (Harvard University Press, 1982: ISBN 0-674-78203-8), p. 14.〕 ==Biography== Nikolai Virta was born in the village of Bolshaya Lazovka in Tambov Governorate, into the family of a village priest who was shot in 1921 as a supporter of Aleksandr Antonov. From 1923 he worked as a reporter for newspapers and radio, and from 1930 he lived in Moscow. He won fame with his 1935 novel ''Odinochestvo'' (Alone), which he used as the basis for his play ''Zemlya'' (Earth, 1937). He was awarded the Stalin Prize for the novel in 1941, as he was for his plays ''Khleb nash nashushchny'' (Our Daily Bread) in 1948 and ''Zagovor obrechennykh'' (Conspiracy of the Condemned, a "virulently anti-American drama"〔James H. Billington, ''The Icon and the Axe'' (New York: Vintage, 1966), p. 552.〕) in 1949 and for his script for the film ''Stalingradskaya bitva'' (The battle of Stalingrad) in 1950. He later turned his 1956 novel ''Krutye gory'' (Steep Hills) into the play ''Dali dal'nye, ne oglyadnye'' (1957). In 1943 Joseph Stalin decided to allow publication of the Bible in Russia, and Virta was chosen as the censor for the project; he decided there were no deviations from Communist ideology and passed it without alteration. In 1954, as the result of a scandal, he was excluded from the Writers' Union, but he was reinstated in 1956. In describing the "nadir of the Soviet theatre" between World War II and the death of Stalin, Michael Glenny writes:
Kornei Chukovsky described Virta as follows in his diary entry for October 19, 1941:
