Maxim Osipov (b. 1963) is a Russian writer and cardiologist. In the early 1990s he was a research fellow at the University of California, San Francisco, before returning to Moscow, where he continued to practice medicine and also founded a publishing house that specialized in medical, musical, and theological texts. In 2005, while working at a local hospital in Tarusa, a small town ninety miles from Moscow, Osipov established a charitable foundation to ensure the hospital’s survival. Since 2007, he has published short stories, novellas, essays, and plays, and has won a number of literary prizes for his fiction. He has published six collections of prose, and his plays have been staged all across Russia. Osipov’s writings have been translated into more than 20 languages. Two collections of Osipov's stories and essays in English were published by The New York Review of Books in 2019 and 2022. Similar collections have been published in Dutch by Van Oorschot (De wereld is niet stuk te krijgen, 2021, and Kilometer 101, 2022). Osipov lived in Tarusa up until February 2022; after Russia invaded Ukraine Osipov moved to Germany. Now he lives in Amsterdam and teaches Russian literature at Leiden University. He is a founder and the editor-in-chief of a new literary magazine 'The Fifth Wave', published in Russian and in English.
