A book of poems by a Russian author who died in 1938 has just been published in Argentina. Osip Mandelstam was a poet who faced the power of the day and paid for it with his life.
He satirized the figure of the dictator (“his big fingers, like worms, are greasy”), his way of speaking and criticizes the obscurity of his environment. He was partially rehabilitated by the Soviet State in 1956, three years after Stalin's death. And that he was only completely acquitted in 1987, during Gorbachev's time.
