Vladimir Volkoff was a French writer of Russian extraction. He produced both literary works for adults and spy novels for young readers under the pseudonym Lieutenant X. His works are characterised by themes of the Cold War, intelligence and manipulation, but also by metaphysical and spiritual elements.

In the 2000s he returned to his Slavic roots, publishing several texts on Russian history and orthodoxy, and publicly declared his support for Vladimir Putin's policies.

In addition, Volkoff wrote historical biographies such as Vladimir, Le Soleil Rouge (The Red Sun) and Tchaikovsky, and also wrote for the theatre. He was awarded the Grand Prix Jean Giono for his work in 1995 and in the same year was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur.

Quotes by Vladimir Volkoff (?)

“Il n'en reste pas moins que, dans toutes les civilisations humaines, le petit nombre -de quelque manière qu'il ait été désigné, fût-elle démocratique - a toujours émergé du grand et lui a commandé, et que cela n'est pas sympathique à l'esprit de la démocratie droits-de-l'hommesque. Ne lui en déplaise, l'apparition d'une aristocratie - que ce soit celle du talent, du mérite, de l'élection, de la volonté de puissance, de la richesse, de l'hérédité réelle ou supposée - est un phénomène naturel ; or, l'aristocratie est, par définition, une minorité.”

“On vit bien (...) que la France n'était pas réconciliée avec elle-même, ce qui n'étonne pas quand lorsqu'on pense que c'est le seul pays au monde à avoir une fête nationale et un hymne national qui célèbrent la division et non l'union.”
― Vladimir Volkoff, Pourquoi je suis moyennement démocrate

“Je repousse aussi la tendance contemporaine qui consiste à croire qu'on doit être démocrate si l'on est chrétien, sous prétexte que les principes chrétiens et les principes démocratiques se recoupent sur certains points. Bien sûr, ils coïncident sur le respect dû à l'homme, mais nullement sur la structure idéale de la société. Croyez-moi, si le bon Dieu avait été démocrate, il l'aurait fait savoir.”
― Vladimir Volkoff, Pourquoi je suis moyennement démocrate
