Eduard Bagritsky

Eduard Bagritsky

Eduard Bagritsky ("Эдуард Георгиевич Дзюбин (Багрицкий)") (OldStyleDate|November 3|1895|October 22 Odessa, Ukraine, Russian Empire - February 16 1934, Moscow, RSFSR) was an important Russian poet of the Constructivist School. He was also a Neo-Romantic early in his poetic career. He was also a part of so-called "Ukrainian School" of Russian writers (that also included Isaak Babel inter alia) that incorporated ukrainian inflection and vocabulary into their writing.

Bagritsky, whose real name was Eduard Dzjubin, was a native of Odessa. Most of his creative career took place in Moscow. After his early death from asthma, his friends helped to publish several of his works posthumously to provide financial assistance to his family. Isaac Babel, for example, planned to write a sceenplay based on Bagritsky's long poem "Duma about Opanas" (the script was never finished and was eventually lost).

Bagritsky was heavily influenced by the Russian Revolution and the Civil war resulting therefrom. His poetry often touches on the subjects of violence, revolutionary morality, sexuality and its interethnic sociological problematics. His worldview was extremely unsentimental, and earned him much invective from detractors from all sides who saw his poetry as both vindictive toward his Jewish origins and the host Russian culture.

Family

Eduards's son Vsevolod Bagritzky (killed in World War II) was also a notable Russian poet. His wife (Eduard's daughter-in-law Yelena Bonner (later wife of Andrei Sakharov) was a notable Russian dissident.
