Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin (Template:Lang-ru) (6 September (19, New Style) 1911 – 31 March 2003) was a Russian writer, poet, and literary translator.[1]

Lipkin's work gained wider recognition after its publication during the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Throughout much of his working life, he was sustained by the support of his wife, poet Inna Lisnianskaya, and close friends such as Anna Akhmatova, Joseph Brodsky and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Lipkin's verses include explorations of history and philosophy.[2]

His poems include references to his Jewish heritage and the Bible. They also draw on first-hand experience of the tragedies of Stalin's Great Purge and World War II (WWII). Lipkin's long-standing opposition to the Soviet regime surfaced in 1979-80 when he contributed to the uncensored almanac "Metropol." After this event, jointly with Lisnyanskaya, left the ranks of the official Writer's Union of the USSR.[3]

Early years

Lipkin was born in Odessa to Israel and Rosalia Lipkin 6 September, 1911 Semyon Lipkin was of Jewish ethnicity.[4] His father had a tailoring business,[5] and was active in the Menshevik movement.[6] According to, his father took himto Odessa's Main Synagogue where he discussed politics with figures such as Hayyim Nahman Bialik.[6] While Lipkin spent a lot of time reading and educating himself at home, his early education also included Hebrew and Torah instruction.[6] His childhood education was disrupted twice. Once, by the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, and then again, by the Russian Civil War. In 1929he left Odessa for Moscow, where he studied engineering and economics and graduated from the Moscow Engineering-Economic Institute in 1937. There, he studied languages threatened by Russification, including Persian, Kalmyk, Kirghiz, Kazakh, Tatar, Tajik and Uzbek.

Military career

Lipkin's military career started with the German invasion in June 1941, when he was enlisted as a war correspondent with the military rank of senior lieutenant, at the Baltic Fleet base in Kronstadt near Leningrad. Later, he was transferred to the 110th Kalmyk cavalry division (where he got into the German encirclement), and then to the Volga River Flotilla at Stalingrad. He took part in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-43 and covered its events as a journalist.[6] Lipkin was awarded four military orders and several medals for his actions.

Literary career

Lipkin published his first poem at 15. Eduard Bagritsky recognized its merit. [6] The regime did not allow him to publish his works until he was in his 60s. It wasn't until he was 70 years old that recognition of his status as a poet was fully established, although Anna Akhmatova and Joseph Brodsky (the Nobel laureate) among others in his immediate circle, acknowledged the greatness of his poems.

In the 1930s, Lipkin met the 20th-century Russian poets Osip Mandelstam, Anna Akhmatova, and Marina Tsvetayeva, along with the prose writers Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov, all of whom were described in his memoir Kvadriga.

Lipkin is also renowned as a literary translator and often worked from the regional languages which Stalin suppressed.[7] In his translations, Lipkin was known for also learning about the culture of the languages he translated such as Abkhaz, Akkadian, Buryat, Dagestani, Karbardinian, Kalmyk, Kirghiz, Tatar, Tadjik-Farsi and Uzbek.[8] Lipkin is also noted for hiding a typescript of his friend Vasily Grossman's magnum opus, Life and Fate, from the KGB and initiated the process that brought it to the West.[9][10] Martin Amis remarked, "If it were for nothing else than the part he played in bringing Life and Fate to publication, Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin would deserve to be remembered."[citation needed][11][12]

Lipkin's extensive oeuvre of translation won many accolades. For his translations and literary work, Lipkin was honoured with the title of Kalmykia National Poet (1967) and later, Hero of Kalmykia (2001), People's Artist of Kabardino-Balkaria (1957), Outstanding Cultural Worker of the Uzbek Republic (1968), Rudaki State Prize of Tajik Republic (1967), Tukay State Prize of Tatarstan (1992), Andrey Sakharov "Courage in the Literature" Prize (1992), literary prizes of the magazines Ogoniok (1989) and "Luchnik (Archer)" (1994), and The Pushkin Prize of the Alfred Toepfer Foundation (1995).[citation needed]

Friendship with Vasily Grossman

In 1961, the manuscript for the novel, Life and Fate, by Vasily Grossman was banned by the Soviet authorities and confiscated by the KGB. Semyon Lipkin saved a copy of his friend's typescript in a bag hanging under some coats on a peg at his dacha at Peredelkino and later passed it over to Elena Makarova and Sergei Makarov for safekeeping in their attic in Khimki, near Moscow.[13] (Elena Makarova was Lipkin's stepdaughter, the daughter of his widow the poet Inna Lisnianskaya. Sergei Makarov is Elena's husband.)[14] In 1975, Lipkin asked the writer Vladimir Voinovich and Academician Andrey Sakharov to help to smuggle the manuscript from the USSR and get it published in the West, which eventually happened in 1980. In July 2013, Grossman's manuscript and other papers confiscated by the KGB back in 1961 were finally released from detention and passed by the FSB secret service (former KGB) to the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI).[15]
