Sergey Pavlovich Bobrov was born on November 8, 1889, in Moscow, Russian Federation in a noble family. His father was a Finance department official and a famous chess-player. His mother was a children's book writer.
In 1900-1904 Sergey Pavlovich attended the Katkov college and spent five years studying at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture. He never completed his studies and left the school in 1909. By 1911 he entered the Moscow Archaeology University as a non-credit student.
Sergey Pavlovich began his career as a painter in 1911-1913 and took part in such exhibitions as Osliny khvost and Mishen'. He published his first poems and critical reviews in the late 1900s, inspired by V.Y. Brusov's and A. Belyi's works.
In 1910-1913 Sergey Pavlovich worked as a proof-reader for the editorial Russkiy arkhiv and published there some of his essays as well. Since 1913 he was one of the leaders of the Lirika group and published his first collection of poems called Gardeners above osiers. It was hugely inspired by several Pushkin-era poets (N.M.Yazykov and E.A. Baratynsky) and by some French authors whose works he had translated before.
By 1914 the Lirika group was split into several parts, so Sergey Pavlovich created and header a new circle of authors. It was called Tsentrifuga and expresses futuristic ideas. Its members' first almanac Rukonog was published in 1914. He created poems, a critical essay, and the cover for that book. Even though he claimed to be futurist by then, it was mostly a stylistic game. Sergey Pavlovich kept collaborating with the symbolists and studied poetic forms and methods, using mathematics as a tool. In 1917 he published another book called Diamond woods, which was, surprisingly, perceived as an old-fashioned in comparison with Bobrov's previous works and futuristic reputation. Later the same year he published one more poems' collection, "The lyre of lyres". That one was totally futurist-like both in terms of the content and the design.
Since 1917 Sergey Pavlovich worked at the Higher Institute of Literature and Art. In 1922 he published such sci-fi novels as Misanthropic rebellion and The one who found the treasure. He also worked as the translator of Charles Perrault's fairytales, The Song of Roland, and Voltaire's Mahomet. His books A magical bicorn and Archimedean summer touched upon numerous concepts of advanced maths and explained them to the teens.
