Platonov's compositions

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues, especially Platonov experts:

Reading all the fascinating information on SEELANGS about Platonov 
the writer, and translators' difficulties rendering him in English, I 
(not a Platonov expert) cannot resist asking:

Does anyone know whether Platonov as a youngster had taken school/
college courses in Russian composition and/or creative writing?   And, 
if he did, what sort of marks ("otmetki") did he receive in the classroom?

Best wishes to all,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
