Maslov Sergey was born on October 1, 1887 in the village of Nizhnedevitsk, Russian Empire (now Voronezh region, Russian Federation). His grandfather was a peasant and his father was a merchant.
Maslov Sergey graduated from the 6-class urban school and secondary agronomic school in Kharkov.
Sergey Semenovich Maslov was one of the leaders of the Russian Union of Agricultural Cooperation and a member of the Constituent Assembly from the Vologda province. In 1918 he was appointed to the post of the Governor of Arkhangelsk. At the end of 1920, Sergey Maslov initiated the organization of an illegal anti-Soviet group "Krestyanskaya Rossiya".
From 1922 he lived in Prague, where the periodical collection of articles “Krestyanskaya Rossiya” began to appear under the editorship of Maslov and others. In 1925-1933 Maslov Sergey worked as an editor of the "Vestnik krestyanskoy Rossii". On the initiative of Maslov, the journal “Rodnoe Slovo” had been published in Warsaw since 1926 (among the authors were writers M. Aldanov, B. Zaitsev, M. Tsvetaeva).
In December 1927, the group "Krestyanskaya Rossiya" was transformed into the Labor Peasant Party and Maslov became the General Secretary of the Central Committee. The emissaries of the Labor Peasant Party went to the USSR to conduct underground work. Since 1933 a monthly publication "Znamia Rossii" has been issued.
During World War II, members of the Maslov’s group participated in the resistance movement. Maslov was arrested by the Nazis on June 22, 1941. The leader of the group "Krestyanskaya Rossiya" returned to Prague on May 12, 1945, and three days later he was arrested by SMERSH officers.
