Chemiakin was born in Moscow but spent his youth in East Germany, moving back to the Soviet Union in 1957. Two years later he was expelled from the Repin School of Art in Leningrad for failing to adhere to the norms of socialist realism and for advocating a predilection for old masters considered degenerate by the Soviet authorities. Chemiakin was routinely pursued by the KGB and subjected to forced psychiatric treatment. In 1971 he was exiled for ideological subversion and settled in Paris, which at the time boasted a sizeable community of young émigré artists from Leningrad. Recalling the imagery of pre-revolutionary Russia, Chemiakin produced a series of works on the theme of the carnival in imperial St. Petersburg. During his stay in Paris he also published and edited the legendary Apollon-77, an almanac of unofficial Soviet art and poetry.
