There is also an authorised translation (from Yiddish to Ukrainian) of a fragment of David Hofshtein’s long narrative poem “Kiev” (undated).
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Ukrainian poet Mark (Marko) Voronyi (1904-37) was born in the city of Chernigov. He studied at Kiev’s N. V. Lysenko Music and Drama Institute and at the Kiev Educational Institute. He worked at the Kiev Film Factory and in the editorial offices of the Moscow journal Nashi dostizheniia (1933). His writings began to be published in 1926. He authored the poetry collection Forward (1932) and numerous verse stories and fairy tales for children. Subjected to unjustified political repression in 1935 and subsequently shot on Solovki (where he was serving his sentence), he was posthumously rehabilitated in 1958.
