Nikolay Vladimirovich Stanyukovich (1898–1977) was a Russian émigré poet, prose writer, translator and literary critic. A participant in the First World War, he joined the White movement during the Civil War and served in the Russian Army until the evacuation from Crimea aboard the ship ‘Lazarev’. A Gallipolian, he composed the poem ‘Parad generala Vrangel’ya’ in Gallipoli.
In emigration he lived in Belgrade, Berlin and Paris, working as a taxi driver and chauffeur while pursuing literary activity. A member of the Union of Young Writers and Poets (founded in 1925), he published as a military writer in ‘Chasovoy’ and collaborated with the journal ‘Russkoe Vozrozhdenie’.
