He has been referred to as "the genius who killed himself trying to become immortal".
Alexander Aleksandrovich Bogdanov, born Alexander Malinovsky, was a Russian and later Soviet physician, philosopher, science fiction writer, and Bolshevik revolutionary. He was a key figure in the early history of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party, originally established 1898, and of its Bolshevik faction. Alexander also dedicated a portion of his life experimenting with "human rejuvenation", in an attempt to feign off death.
