| | Isaac Babel |
 | | Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel, ru: Исаак Бабель (July 13 (New Style), 1894 - January 27, 1940) was a Russian journalist of Jewish origin, playwright, and short story writer. |
 | | Born to a Jewish family in Odessa, Ukraine, during a mass exodus of Jews from the Russian empire, Isaac Babel experienced a relatively peaceful youth. |
 | | Unlike other Russian authors, Isaac Babel was allowed to travel during this time (as his family was living in France), and in 1935 delivered a speech to the International Congress of Writers in Paris but soon he returned to the Soviet Union. |
