Vsevolod Anissimovich Kochetov (,
Novgorod,
Russian Empire - 4 November 1973,
Moscow) was a
Soviet Russian writer and cultural functionary. He has been described as a
party dogmatist and as a classic of
socialist realism. Some of his writings were not well received by the official press, as Kochetov was considered too "
reactionary" even by Soviet standards of the 1960s.
