	B.U. Bridge: Boston University community's weekly newspaper
		Yevgeny Yevtushenko, the most popular Russian poet of the post-Stalinist period, wrote the five poems that form the foundation of Shostakovich’s Symphony XIII, Babi Yar.
		Yevtushenko explains that one reason he got into trouble was because his poem is only incidentally about the massacre at Babi Yar; it is more broadly a sweeping attack on anti-Semitism.
		Yevtushenko’s poem was still upsetting Soviet authorities as high as Khrushchev, jeopardizing the symphony’s scheduled première on December 18, 1962.

	THEATRE OF ADVERSITY BY BRIAN MAHONEY 11/97
		Yevtushenko's brash outspokenness against the abuses of Stalinism and the historic candor and simple beauty of his verses soon attracted crowds in the tens of thousands to hear him read his poetry in outdoor stadiums.
		In the midst of a romantic poem, when Yevtushenko reached a peak in the lyric and boomed, "I love you more than love!" and leaped off the stage (the guy's pretty agile for 64) and kissed one of the women in the front row, she almost swooned-literally.
		Yevtushenko must have liked what he heard because when Levitas told the poet that he was a theatre student, Yevtushenko told him that he had a new play in his briefcase, and that Levitas was perfect for the male lead, the Major, though he would have to read for it, of course.

		Not all his collected poems are here, either: selections from from "Bratsk Station" and excerpts from long poems such as "Under the Skin of the Statue of Liberty" and "Ivan the Terrible and Ivan the Fool" reduce a bit the scope that we are presented with, although not the quality.
		But his poems are still here and one of the reasons why Yevtushenko hasn't been swept away like many of the so-called poets who sang for the Soviet regime, is that he never did that.
		Yevtushenko is far more accessible than some of the more modern Russian poets, but accessibility does not mean less quality.

	Legendary Russian poet, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, with Ray McNiece, the Russia tours...
		Y.Y. As an American poet accustomed to meager readership and small audiences for public readings, I traveled to Russia with Yevgeny Yevtushenko in July of 2001 anticipating, if not the legendary soccer-stadium size crowds of the “thaw,” at least a deeper and more widespread appreciation for poetry by everyday people.
		The occasion of our tour was Yevtushenko’s annual birthday performance at the Moscow Polytech and the opening of the Poet’s House, a museum in his childhood home at the Siberian crossroads of Zima Junction.
		Siberia: Yevtushenko with his hard hat, Ray on guitar, both performing "The Workers' Song" ("I ain't got no work.."), a protest song on the LTV steel plant closing.

		Yevtushenko says all this, in a leafy, calm hotel bar, a place that (like so much of our America) seems to have no history.
		Yevtushenko starts with the story -- again a much-told tale -- of his most famous poem "Babi Yar," an attack on Soviet anti-Semitism, which he'd published in 1961.

	Babi Yar by Yevgeni Yevtushenko Translated by Ben Okopnik
		It is through allusions, as well as other literary devices, that Yevtushenko elucidates caustically the absurdities of the hatred that caused the Holocaust, in addition to the narrator's identification with the Jews and their history of oppression.
		Yevtushenko is establishing the history of the Jewish people, being one of oppression, prejudice, and innocent victims.
		Yevtushenko goes on to allude to Anne Frank, a young Jewish teenager who left behind a diary of her thoughts and dreams,and how the Nazis strip her of any potential future she has when she is murdered in the death camps.

		In this article, Richard von Busack examines Don't Die Before You're Dead, Yevtushenko's political attitudes and involvement in various political groups, and his role as the most popular Russian poet of the second half of the twentieth century.
		This is an excellent resource on the historical significance of "Babi Yar," the title and subject of Yevtushenko's renowned poem.
		Although he was sometimes held in disfavor during the Soviet years (once labeled "the head of the intellectual juvenile delinquents" whose poems were "pygmy spittle"), Yevtushenko has been immensely popular from the early 1960s until the present.
