Eino Hanski (17 July 1928 – 17 August 2000) was a Swedish author, dramatist and sculptor.[1][2][3]
Hanski was born in Leningrad in the Soviet Union to a Finnish father and a Karelian-Finnish mother.[3][4] Russian became his main language growing up, but most of his books were written in Swedish. Hanski came to Sweden in 1945 with his mother as a refuge from World War II. His father died in the war.
Hanski lived in Gothenburg but returned to the Soviet Union many times; and it is also the subject of many of his writings. He died in Gothenburg at the age of 72.[3]
