Biography [edit]

Early life [edit]

Yevtushenko was born Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Gangnus (he afterward took his mother's last name, Yevtushenko) in the Irkutsk region of Siberia in a modest town called Zima^{[4] [v] [half-dozen]} on 18 July 1933^[vii] to a peasant family unit of noble descent. He had Russian, Baltic German, Ukrainian, Smoothen, Belarusian and Tatar roots. His maternal nifty-grandfather Joseph Baikovsky belonged to szlachta, while his married woman was of Ukrainian descent. They were exiled to Siberia later on a peasant rebellion headed past Joseph. One of their daughters – Maria Baikovskaya – married Ermolai Naumovich Yevtushenko who was of Belarusian descent. He served as a soldier in the Imperial Army during World State of war I and as an officeholder in the Red Regular army during the Civil War. His paternal ancestors were Germans who moved to the Russian Empire in 1767. His grandfather Rudolph Gangnus, a math teacher of Baltic High german descent, married Anna Plotnikova of Russian dignity.^[8] Both of Yevtushenko's grandfathers were arrested during Stalin'south purges as "enemies of the people" in 1937.^[9] Yevtushenko's father, Aleksandr Rudolfovich Gangnus, was a geologist, equally was his mother, Zinaida Ermolaevna Yevtushenko, who later became a vocalizer.^[10] The boy accompanied his father on geological expeditions to Kazakhstan in 1948, and to Altai, Siberia, in 1950. Young Yevtushenko wrote his kickoff verses and humorous chastushki while living in Zima, Siberia. His parents were divorced when he was 7 and he was raised by his female parent.^[ix] By age 10 he had equanimous his first verse form. Six years later a sports journal was the showtime periodical to publish his poetry. At nineteen, he published his first volume of poems, The Prospects of the Futurity.^[9]

After the 2nd World State of war, Yevtushenko moved to Moscow and from 1951 to 1954 studied at the Gorky Institute of Literature in Moscow, from which he dropped out. In 1952 he joined the Matrimony of Soviet Writers after publication of his beginning collection of poetry. His early on poem So mnoyu vot chto proiskhodit ("That's what is happening to me") became a very popular song, performed by actor-songwriter Alexander Dolsky. In 1955 Yevtushenko wrote a poem nigh the Soviet borders being an obstacle in his life. His offset important publication was the 1956 poem Stantsiya Zima ("Zima Station"). In 1957, he was expelled from the Literary Establish for "individualism". He was banned from traveling, but gained broad popularity with the Soviet public. His early work also drew praise from Boris Pasternak, Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost.^{[11] [12]}

During the Khrushchev Thaw [edit]

Yevtushenko was 1 of the authors politically active during the Khrushchev Thaw. In 1961 he wrote what would get perhaps his well-nigh famous poem, Babiyy Yar, in which he denounced the Soviet distortion of historical fact regarding the Nazi massacre of the Jewish population of Kyiv in September 1941, likewise as the anti-Semitism however widespread in the Soviet Union. The usual Soviet policy in relation to the Holocaust in Russian federation was to describe it as full general atrocities against Soviet citizens, and to avoid mentioning that information technology was a genocide of the Jews. However, Yevtushenko'due south work Babiyy Yar "spoke non only of the Nazi atrocities, but the Soviet government's own persecution of Jewish people."^[13] The poem was published in a major paper, Literaturnaya Gazeta,^[fourteen] achieved widespread circulation in numerous copies, and afterwards was set to music, together with four other Yevtushenko poems, by Dmitri Shostakovich in his Thirteenth Symphony, subtitled Babi Yar. Of Yevtushenko's work, Shostakovich has said, "Morality is a sister of conscience. And perhaps God is with Yevtushenko when he speaks of conscience. Every morning, in place of prayers, I reread or repeat by retention two poems by Yevtushenko: 'Career' or 'Boots'."^[11]

After the 22nd Congress of the Communist Political party of the Soviet Union in Oct 1961 – at which the onetime dictator Joseph Stalin was denounced in public for crimes committed in the 1930s, Yevtushenko was allowed to bring together the editorial lath of the journal Yunost, and in October 1962 was sent to Cuba as a contributor of Pravda. In 1962, knowing that there was backlash against the anti-Stalin campaign, Yevtushenko wrote Nasledniki Stalina (The Heirs of Stalin), in which he stated that although Stalin was expressionless, Stalinism and its legacy still dominated the country; in the verse form he as well directly addressed the Soviet regime, imploring them to make sure that Stalin would "never rise once again".^[15] The poem also taunted neo-Stalinists for being out of impact with the times, saying "No wonder they suffer heart attacks." Information technology was well known that Khrushchev's virtually dangerous rival, Frol Kozlov had recently had a centre attack.^[16] Yevtushenko wrote in his memoirs that he sent a copy of the poem to Khrushchev, who approved its publication. Published originally in Pravda on 21 October 1962, the poem was not republished until a quarter of a century later, in the times of the comparatively liberal Party leader Mikhail Gorbachev. In January 1963, he began a tour of Due west Federal republic of germany and France, and while he was in Paris, bundled for his Precocious Autobiography to be serialised in 50'Express. This created a scandal in Moscow. In Feb, he was ordered to return to the USSR and at the end of March he was defendant by a writer named One thousand. A. Zhukov of an 'act of treason' and in April some other writer, named Vladimir Fedorov, proposed that he be expelled from the Writers' Union.^[17] No official action was taken against him, but he was barred from travelling away for several years.

Yevtushenko became ane of the all-time known poets of the 1950s and 1960s in the Soviet Spousal relationship.^[18] He was part of the 1960s generation, which included such writers as Vasili Aksyonov, Andrei Voznesensky, Bella Akhmadulina, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Anatoly Gladilin; equally well every bit actors Andrei Mironov, Aleksandr Zbruyev, Natalya Fateyeva, and many others. During the fourth dimension, Anna Akhmatova, a number of whose family members suffered under the communist rule, criticised Yevtushenko's aesthetic ideals and his poetics. The late Russian poet Victor Krivulin quotes her saying that "Yevtushenko doesn't rise above an average newspaper satirist's level. Yevtushenko and Andrei Voznesensky's works just don't do information technology for me, therefore neither of them exists for me as a poet."^[19]

Alternatively, Yevtushenko was much respected past others at the time both for his poetry and his political stance toward the Soviet regime. "Dissident Pavel Litvinov had said that '[Yevtushenko] expressed what my generation felt. Then we left him backside.'"^[ix] Betwixt 1963 until 1965, for example, Yevtushenko, already an internationally recognised littérateur, was banned from traveling outside the Soviet Union.^[20] In 1963 he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature for his poem "Babi Yar", concerning the 1941 massacres at Kyiv.^{[21] [22]}

Generally, even so, Yevtushenko was still the most extensively travelled Soviet poet, possessing an amazing capability to residue betwixt moderate criticism of Soviet regime, which gained him popularity in the West, and, as noted past some, a strong Marxist–Leninist ideological stance,^[9] which allegedly proved his loyalty to Soviet regime.

At that fourth dimension KGB Chairman Vladimir Semichastny and the adjacent KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov reported to the Communist Politburo on the "Anti-Soviet action of poet Yevtushenko." All the same, some nicknamed Yevtushenko "Zhenya Gapon," comparing him to Father Georgy Gapon,^[23] a Russian priest who at the time of the Revolution of 1905 was both a leader of rebellious workers and a undercover police agent.

Controversy [edit]

In 1965, Yevtushenko joined Anna Akhmatova, Korney Chukovsky, Jean-Paul Sartre and others and co-signed the letter of protest against the unfair trial of Joseph Brodsky as a result of the court case against him initiated by the Soviet authorities.^[24] He subsequently co-signed a letter confronting the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.^[25]

Nevertheless, "when, in 1987, Yevtushenko was made an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Messages, Brodsky himself led a flurry of protest, accusing Yevtushenko of duplicity and claiming that Yevtushenko'due south criticism of the Soviet Union was launched simply in the directions approved past the Political party and that he criticised what was acceptable to the Kremlin, when it was acceptable to the Kremlin, while soaking upwards adulation and honours as a fearless vocalism of dissent."^[xx] Further, of note is "Yevtushenko'southward protest of the trial of Andrei Sinyavsky and Yuli Daniel, an upshot at present credited with inaugurating the mod dissident movement and readying the national pulse for perestroika. Both writers had toiled nether pseudonyms and stood accused, in 1966, of "anti-Soviet activity" for the views espoused by their fictional characters. Only Yevtushenko'southward actual position was that the writers were guilty, but punished as well severely."^[25] "Yevtushenko was non amongst the authors of the "Letter of the 63" who protested [their convictions]."^[ix]

On 23 August 1968, Yevtushenko sent a telegram to the Soviet prime government minister Alexei Kosygin lamenting the invasion of Czechoslovakia, simply "when Yevtushenko was nominated for the verse chair at Oxford in 1968, Kingsley Amis, Bernard Levin, and the Russian-Hungarian historian Tibor Szamuely led the campaign against him, arguing that he had made life difficult for his fellow Soviet writers."^[25]

Films [edit]

He was filmed equally himself during the 1950s as a performing poet-actor. Yevtushenko contributed lyrics to several Soviet films and contributed to the script of Soy Cuba (I Am Cuba, 1964), a Soviet propaganda film.^[26] His acting career began with the leading role in Vzlyot (Take-Off, 1979) by director Savva Kulish, where he played the leading role as Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.^[27] Yevtushenko besides made two films as a writer/director. His motion-picture show Detsky Sad (Kindergarten, 1983)^[28] and his final moving picture, Pokhorony Stalina (Stalin'southward Funeral, 1990)^[29] deal with life in the Soviet Union.^[27]

Post-Soviet period [edit]

In 1989 Yevtushenko was elected equally a representative for Kharkiv in the Soviet Parliament (Congress of Peoples Deputies), where he was a member of the pro-democratic group supporting Mikhail Gorbachev.^[9] In 1991, he supported Boris Yeltsin, as the latter defended the parliament of the Russian Federation during the hardline coup that sought to oust Gorbachev and reverse "perestroika".^{[12] [xxx]} Later, nonetheless, when Yeltsin sent tanks into restive Chechnya, Yevtushenko reportedly "denounced his onetime marry and refused to have an honour from him."^[30]

In the mail service-Soviet era Yevtushenko actively discussed environmental issues, confronted Russian Nationalist writers from the alternative Marriage of the Writers of Russian federation, and campaigned for the preservation of the memory of victims of Stalin's Gulag. In 1995 he published his huge anthology of contemporary Russian poesy entitled Verses of the Century.^[31]

In the W [edit]

After October 2007 Yevtushenko divided his time between Russia and the U.s.a., education Russian and European poetry and the history of earth movie theatre at the Academy of Tulsa in Oklahoma and at Queens Higher of the City University of New York. In the Westward he was best known for his criticism of the Soviet bureaucracy and appeals for getting rid of the legacy of Stalin.^[32] He was working on a 3-volume collection of 11th to 20th-century Russian poetry, and planned a novel based on his time in Havana during the Cuban Missile Crunch (he was, reportedly, skillful friends with Che Guevara, Salvador Allende and Pablo Neruda).^{[eleven] [12] [xxx]} In Oct 2007, he was an artist-in-residence with the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Maryland, College Park, and recited his poem Babi Yar earlier a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13, which sets five of his poems, by the University of Maryland Symphony Orchestra and the men of the UM Choirs, with David Brundage as the bass soloist. The first performance of the two works on the same program that Shostakovich set to Yevtushenko texts, "Babi Yar" (Symphony 13) and "The Execution of Stepan Razin," with Yevtushenko present, took place at the University of Houston's Moores School of Music in 1998, nether the billy of Franz Anton Krager. The performance was the idea of the then-President of the Moores School of Music Society, Philip Berquist, a long time friend of Yevtushenko, after the poet informed him that the ii works had never been performed together. Yevtushenko had told Berquist that Leonard Bernstein had wanted to do so, but information technology never came to realization. The first translation of Yevtushenko's poetry into English was Yevtushenko: Selected Poems, a translation by Robin Milner-Gulland and Peter Levi published in 1962.^[33]

He said in a 1995 interview, "I similar very much the University of Tulsa. My students are sons of ranchers, even cowboys, oil engineers. They are different people, simply they are very gifted. They are closer to Female parent Nature than the big city. They are more sensitive."^[34]

Criticism [edit]

Michael Weiss, writing in The New York Dominicus in 2008, asserted that "Yevtushenko'south politics have always been a complicated mixture of bravery, populism, and vulgar adaptation with dictatorship."^[25] Judith Colp of The Washington Times, for example, described Yevtushenko as "his country's well-nigh controversial mod poet, a homo whose reputation is poised betwixt courageous behind-the-scenes reformer and failed dissident."^[9] Indeed, "as the Sovietologist and literary critic Robert Conquest put information technology in a 1974 profile: 'The writers who had briefly flourished [under Khrushchev'southward thaw] went two different ways. Solzhenitsyn and his similar into silenced opposition; Yevtushenko and his like, sometimes reluctantly, sometimes in the hope of even so influencing matters a piffling, into well-rewarded collaboration.'"^[25] Some argue that before the appearance of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Andrei Sakharov, and the dissident movement in the Soviet Spousal relationship, Yevtushenko, through his poetry, was the first vocalization to speak out against Stalinism^[xiii] (although Boris Pasternak is often considered "to have helped requite nascency to the dissident movement with the publication of his Doctor Zhivago").^[9] Colp adds: "Sovietologist Stephen Cohen of Princeton University contends that Yevtushenko was amidst those Soviets who didn't become dissidents only in their own style tried to improve conditions and prepare the way for reform, [saying that] 'They exhibited a kind of civic courage that many Americans didn't recognize.'"^[9] Kevin O'Connor, in his Intellectuals and Apparatchiks, noted that Yevtushenko was "a popular liberal who never experienced the sort of intimidation that characterized regime's handling of dissident writers Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Vladimir Voinovich (each of whom was forced to leave the USSR)."^[35]

Brodsky repeatedly criticised Yevtushenko for what he perceived every bit his "conformism", especially later on the latter was made a member of the American Academy of Arts and Messages.^{[30] [36]} Commenting on this controversy in A Night in the Nabokov Hotel, an album of Russian poetry in English language translation, Anatoly Kudryavitsky wrote the post-obit: "A few Russian poets enjoyed virtual pop-star condition, unthinkable if transposed to other parts of Europe. In reality, they were far from any sort of protest against Soviet totalitarianism and therefore could not be regarded every bit anything else just naughty children of the government."^[37] Furthermore, some criticized Yevtushenko regarding Pasternak's widow, given that "when Pasternak's widow, Olga Ivinskaya, was imprisoned on trumped-upwards charges of illegally dealing in foreign currency, Yevtushenko publicly maligned her [and added] that Physician Zhivago was non worth publishing in the Soviet Union."^[9] "The exiled poet Joseph Brodsky once said of Yevtushenko, 'He throws stones only in directions that are officially sanctioned and canonical.'"^[10]

Moreover, "the poet Irina Ratushinskaya, upon her release from prison and arrival in the Due west, dismissed Yevtushenko as an official poet and the novelist Vasily Aksyonov has also refused contact [with Yevtushenko]."^[38] Responding to the criticism, Yevtushenko reportedly said:

Who could sanction me to write Babi Yar, or my protests against the (1968) Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia? But I criticised Khrushchev to his face; non fifty-fifty Solzhenitsyn did that. It is only the envy of people who couldn't stand against the propaganda motorcar, and they invented things about my generation, the artists of the '60s. Our generation was breaking the Iron Curtain. It was a generation crippled by history, and nigh of our dreams were doomed to be unfulfilled – but the fight for freedom was not in vain.^[30]

Yevtushenko further notes that "in several cases [he] personally rose to the defense of these writers, interceding privately for Ratushinskaya's release from prison, defending Aksionov and others who were expelled from the Writers' Union."^[38]

Critics differ on the stature of Yevtushenko in the literature globe, with "well-nigh Western intellectuals and many Russian scholars extol[ing] him as the greatest writer of his generation, the phonation of Soviet life."^[39] They "admit that his speaking tours accept won him converts among audiences impressed with his dramatic readings and charismatic personality. Tina Tupikina Glaessner (1967) refers to him as "one of the greatest poets of the modern age". She states that "Bratsk Station" offers the greatest insight into Soviet life of any work in modern Russian literature. Two decades later, in his 1988 article, Michael Pursglove echoes her sentiments, referring to Stanciya Zima as "one of the landmarks of Soviet literature."^[39]

Yevtushenko'south defenders signal to "how much he did to oppose the Stalin legacy, his animus fueled by the knowledge that both of his grandfathers had perished in Stalin's purges of the 1930s. He was expelled from his university in 1956 for joining the defense of a banned novel, Vladimir Dudintsev'southward "Not by Breadstuff Alone". He refused to bring together in the official campaign against Boris Pasternak, the writer of "Doctor Zhivago" and the recipient of the 1958 Nobel Prize in Literature. Yevtushenko denounced the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968; interceded with the KGB chief, Yuri V. Andropov, on behalf of another Nobel laureate, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn; and opposed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979."^[x]

Personal life and death [edit]

Yevtushenko was known for his many alleged liaisons.^[30] Yevtushenko was married four times: in 1954 he married Bella Akhmadulina, who published her get-go drove of poems in 1962. After divorce he married Galina Sokol-Lukonina. Yevtushenko's third wife was English translator Jan Butler (married in 1978) and his 4th Maria Novikova whom he married in 1986.^[26] He had five sons:^[30] Dmitry, Sasha, Pyotr, Anton and Yevgeny. His wife teaches Russian at Edison Preparatory School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Yevtushenko himself spent half the year at the University of Tulsa, lecturing on poetry and European cinema.^[thirty]

Yevtushenko died on the forenoon of 1 April 2017, at the Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His widow, Maria Novikova, reported that he died peacefully in his sleep of middle failure.^[twoscore] His son Yevgeny reported that Yevtushenko had been diagnosed with cancer well-nigh six years earlier and that he had undergone surgery to remove part of a kidney, simply the disease had recently returned.^[41] "His wife, Maria Novikova, and their two sons, Dmitry and Yevgeny, were reportedly with him when he died."^[10] Following his death, Yevtushenko was described by his friend and translator Robin Milner-Gulland as "an absolute natural talent at performance" on BBC Radio iv's Last Word programme.^[42] Milner-Gulland also wrote, in an obituary in The Guardian, that "in that location was a cursory phase when the evolution of Russian literature seemed nigh synonymous with his name", and that amidst his characteristics of "sharpness, sentiment, populism, self-conviction and sheer enjoyment of the sound of language", he was "above all a generous spirit".^[43] Raymond H. Anderson stated in The New York Times that his "defiant" poetry "inspired a generation of young Russians in their fight against Stalinism during the Cold War".^[44]
