G. Rosimov was born IUrii Viktorovich Ofrosimov in Moscow in 1894. After participating in the Civil War on the side of the Whites, in 1920 Rosimov settled in Berlin, where he became known as a theater critic, poet and participant in Russian émigré life. It was at this time that he met many of the correspondents represented in his papers, such as Roman Gul' (his editor at the newspaper Rul' ), Ivan Il'in and Vladas Stanka (as a member of Stanka's political group "Mir i trud"). In 1923, he published a collection of poetry Stikhi ob uteriannom, which was followed in 1926 by Teatr, a book of critical essays. Rosimov's critical articles were invariably published under his real name, IU. Ofrosimov (or his initials, IU. O.). His publications as IU. Ofrosimov include the 1926 collection Teatr. Fel'etony, and later articles in Novoe russkoe slovo (see Box 7, folder 134) and Novyi zhurnal (see Box 6, folders 125, 126-128).

In 1933, Rosimov moved to Belgrade, where he apparently was arrested by German forces during the Second World War. He spent some time in prison camps, and then in displaced persons' camps, where he befriended a new group of Russian writers. After the war, Rosimov married Dorothea Vogels and settled in the small town of Ennenda near Glarus in Switzerland, and later in Lugano. In later years Rosimov continued to write for émigré publications. He died in Palermo, Sicily, on October 19, 1967, and is buried in Lugano.
