All were young, all were poets, most were thoroughly assimilated into Soviet society whilst at the same time being rooted in Jewish culture and traditions. Their poetry, written mostly in Russian, Yiddish, and Ukrainian, was coloured by their backgrounds, by the literary and cultural climate that prevailed in the Soviet Union, and was deeply concerned with their expectation of impending death at the hands of the Nazis.Routledge studies in the history of Russia and Eastern Europe.Ukrainian poetryJewish authors20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Literature and the warJewish authorsSoviet UnionBiographyRussian poetryJewish authors20th centurySoldiers' writings, SovietYiddish poetry20th centuryUkrainian poetryJewish authorsWorld War, 1939-1945Literature and the war.Jewish authorsRussian poetryJewish authorsSoldiers' writings, Soviet.Yiddish poetry891.7098924Lapidus Rina.850401MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787183203321Young Jewish poets who fell as Soviet soldiers in the second World War3838507UNINA
