		Born in Odessa, Ukraine into a Jewish family, Babel grew up in an atmosphere of persecution that is reflected in the sensitivity, pessimism, and morbidity of his stories.
		This cycle of realistic and humorous sketches of the Moldavanka--the ghetto suburb of Odessa--vividly portrays the life-style and jargon of a group of Jewish bandits and gangsters, led by their "king," the legendary Benya Krik.
		After Stalin's death in 1953, Babel was rehabilitated, and his stories were again published in the Soviet Union.

	Red Cavalry, Isaak Babel Criticism and Essays
		The pieces in the collection are based on Babel's experiences riding with the Russian Cossacks of the First Cavalry during the Soviet-Polish War of 1920.
		Babel contrasts the vitality of revolution and war against the mystery and decay of the Catholic Church in “Kostel v Novograde” (“The Church at Novograd”).
		Critics maintain that the events and geography of the stories do not reflect historical reality and that they should be regarded as Babel's artistic interpretation of the truth, contending that the emphasis is not in individual battles or campaigns, but in the dialectical process of history.

		Babel might well have come to mind today because his best known public utterance -- he was a proverbially reclusive man -- was made at a writers' conference - a Soviet-sponsored event, actually - the Paris Congress of Writers in 1934.
		Rather, I mention Babel now because of his strategies in negotiating between the Jewish people and the world which he explored with the use of a fictional character who at one-and-the-same-time was understated, absurd, cruel, flamboyant, and also hilarious.
		Babel, who edited a military newspaper for a Bolshevik Cossack regiment, understood the irony of this situation well, and used it to do many things.

	Isaac Babel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1920, during the bloody Russian Civil War, Babel was assigned as a journalist to Field Marshal Semyon Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army, witnessing a military campaign of the Polish-Soviet War of 1920.
		Babel's honest description of the brutal realities of war, far from revolutionary romanticism, brought him some powerful enemies, among them Budyonny, but Gorky's intervention helped to save the book, and soon it was translated into many languages.
		Back in Odessa Babel started to write a series of short stories set in the Odessan ghetto of Moldavanka where he was born, describing the life of the Jewish underworld before and after the 1917 October Revolution.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Isaak Babel (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Isaak Babel´’s early story “Odessa” seems, at first glance, to be a modest piece of reportage about his home town.
		At this point, Babel’ makes a characteristic gesture by turning away from the burden of his native Russian literature, and recommending instead Guy de Maupassant, the writer to whom Babel’ felt closest and to whom he returned throughout his life.
		Yet albeit Babel’’s style and imagery has been praised and admired, his art is also one that disturbs (although this should not necessarily be taken as a failing, indeed, quite the opposite).

	Red Cavalry Summary
		Babel was caught up in his passionate belief that the Revolution was the answer to the evils of the old tsarist regime; but his instinct for the truth and feeling for the price of all the violence makes him a poignant observer.
		Babel was a Jew who was Russian, and he wanted to serve the Soviet state with honor; we have a tendency to forget the incredible atrocities of the tsarist regime, especially those against Jews, after all the years of Soviet insanity and state sponsored murder.
		Babel also conveys myriads of complexity in terms of point of view as well as the historical situation.

		Isaak Babel (1894 - 1941) was born into a Jewish middle-class family in Odessa, a city that at that time was a bustling port with a rich and colorful mix of different ethnic groups; it was also a center of Jewish culture, with writers working in Yiddish, Hebrew and Russian.
		Babel was an incredibly demanding stylist, who worked through endless revisions and "parings-down" of his stories.
		Babel found it extremely difficult to publish in the 30's, a period in Soviet culture when Babel's practice of ambiguity and paradox came under attack.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Konarmiya (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For in 1920, Babel' – a myopic, asthmatic Jew from Odessa – was despatched as a correspondent to cover the Soviet Union’s first foreign military adventure, the Soviet-Polish war, where he observed the infamously anti-Semitic Cossacks of General Budyonny’s cavalry.
		This arc echoes Babel'’s own perception of the fate of the war, as revealed in his diary, where his initial confidence that “Victory will be ours!” is tempered by the realisation that “the situation is getting worse at the front” and that “the beginning of the end of the First Cavalry Army” was imminent.
		Yet Babel' refuses to impose a false and facile sense of coherence on his narrative; war is rendered in short episodic fragments, as if to reproduce the elemental chaos of the original experience.

		Babel''s kinship with the philosopher was obvious to many, but concealed in order to spare his already dubious reputation.
		The essence of the story, however, lies in the expose of the absurdity of marriage, the mother's as well as the daughter's, and of the doomed futility of the tender and lasting mutual feeling that arises between the daughter and her accidental lover--themes that were, once again, not alien to Tolstoy.
		Babel', on the other hand, welcomed the hero's life-creational conquest of the heroine and the complex indirectness, improvised by him, of the mutual reflection of their various cultural and sexual roles.
