He is often considered the pioneer of Aesop language in literature. Zhuperko is best known for his mockery from Nazis in novel "Eagle's Jam" (1947).

===Early life===
Viktor Zhuperko was born to a middle class Ukrainian family in Kherson, on 31 December 1880. They spoke both Ukrainian and Russian. Viktor was the youngest child and had two sisters and one brother. In school, Zhuperko worked at a slow pace, often wandering through his thoughts and returned to working when the teacher shouted him by the name. He acquired nickname "Dreamer". Despite this, Zhuperko ended school quite successfully. As a child and later as a young man, he often liked to spend time in the steppes near Kherson. His parents wants, that he, the youngest child, would become a clergyman. However, Viktor lost faith, when was only 6 and became atheist and his opinion did not change throughout his life. He believed in [[Charles Darwin|Darwin's]] evolution theory.

===Emigration===
In 1921, four years after Lenin's revolution, Zhuperko decided to leave his native country. He was given to opportunity, but lost his cizitenship. Zhuperko emigrated to Netherlands and later settled in Belgium, Brugge. In 1924, he became a Belgian.

===Nazi invasion===
After two decades living in Belgium, the Nazis invaded this country. During the war, Zhuperko and his wife Katrin hid Jews. He wrote a lot during that period, using the pseudonym Thibaut for security.

===Death, legacy and recognition===
Zhuperko died of a stroke aged 69 in his Brugge apartment and was buried at local cemetery. He left wife and three children, two of them, Jewish boys, adopted after war. Zhuperko's wife died aged 92 and joined him. In 1957, Zhuperko was posthumously awarded Righteous among the Nations for saving the Jews by [[Yad Vashem]]. Most of his works are well received by critics.== Infobox academic ==
