Boris Gorbatov (1908–1954) was a Soviet novelist. Born in the Donbas region in Ukraine, he moved to Moscow at the age of 18 and joined the Communist Party in 1930. He was a military correspondent during World War Two.
Gorbatov is best known for his novels Donbass and Taras' Family, both of which were translated into English, the latter also into French[1] and German.[2] The latter novel was filmed in 1945 (see The Unvanquished) and was the first film depicting The Holocaust.
