- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Jewish poet Shloyme Borisovich Cherniavskii (1909-74) was born in the city of Kovel’ (Volhynia province; now Volhynia region). Orphaned at the age of ten, he was raised in a children’s shelter. Having graduated from the Kiev Jewish Pedagogical Technicum in 1930, he worked on the editorial staff of the newspaper Der shtern and in the cinefication [kinofikatsiia] system. From 1931 on, his Yiddish-language verse and long narrative poems appeared in the Soviet Jewish periodical press (Der shtern, Birobidzhaner shtern, Sovetish heymland, etc.). His poetry collections (Fiery Youth [1936], Lyric [1940], Tall Poplars [1983]) came out as separate editions. Several of his poetry collections were also published in Russian and Ukrainian translation. He died in Kiev.
