A more telling example is that of another great poet, Nikolai Nekrasov, who once wrote and publicly recited an ode to General Mikhail Muravyov.
Muravyov had bloodily suppressed the Polish rebellion of 1863, and liberals, including Nekrasov, could not have approved of that -- but Nekrasov wanted better conditions and less censorship for his liberal-minded journal, and he hoped that the influential general, mollified by praise, could help.
Mikhail Sholokhov -- a Nobel laureate, like Grass -- spoke at a Party congress lamenting the leniency of the law that sent dissident authors Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuly Daniel to prison rather than executing them.

 MOSCOW PREPARES RESPONSE TO DUDAYEV SQUARE IN WARSAW (tit for tat)
Platonov revealed that one argument in the dialogue with Warsaw colleagues could be a similar initiative to rename Klimashkin Street in Moscow, where the Polish embassy is located, to General Mikhail Muravyov Street.
Although an official decision has not been made, Platonov believes that the use of historical analogues (the notorious figure of General Muravyov, for instance) in a political dialogue is quite appropriate.
For now, Moscow's authorities are willing to limit their actions to a statement addressed to their Warsaw counterparts, which contains a demand to "reverse the provocative decision." However, if a positive answer is not received, the Moscow City Duma night well seriously consider hanging the name of the street where the Polish Embassy stands.

General Muravyov is known as 'the hangman' who reaped revenge on the Poles after the 1863 Uprising against Russian occupation.
