Fedor Ivanovich Kalinin (Russian: Фёдор Иванович Калинин; 14 February 1882 – 5 February 1920) was a Russian revolutionary, literary critic and writer. Fedor was the younger brother of Mikhail Kalinin. Kalinin was born on February 14, 1882 (or 1883, according to some sources) in the village of Shiklovo in the industrial region of Vladimir province. He started working at the age of 12, variously as a carpenter, typesetter, and a weaver, like his father, at a factory in Strunino. While working he became acquainted with Russian fiction and criticism, then moved on to political literature.
