Mikhail Mikhalkov

Mikhail Vladimirovich Mikhalkov (; 28 December 1922, Moscow – 5 September 2006, Moscow) was a writer and alleged Soviet intelligence officer working under the pen names M. Andronov (М. Андронов) and M. Lugovykh (М. Луговых). He was a younger brother of Soviet poet Sergey Mikhalkov.

Self-presented military biography Mikhail Mikhalkov was born into the noble Mikhalkov family, that was relatively wealthy even under Soviet rule. In his childhood the family kept a German governess so he had reasonable German-language skills.

His military biography is largely known from his own words and mostly lacks independent documentary corroboration, most notably his files related to his post-war arrest are not available for fact-checking. According to Petrov, the most reliable sections concern the period between spring 1942 and January 1943, when Mikhalkov worked as a prisoner-of-war auxiliary in a German military hospital in Dneprodzerzhinsk. Individuals mentioned in these chapters, including former POW Dmitry Tsvintarny and members of the local underground, were real historical figures.

By the mid-1970s, Mikhalkov had published several poetry collections and songbooks.
