Autorenporträt

Efim Etkind (1918-1999) was a Soviet philologist and literary historian who published more than 500 articles in academic journals. He was known for founding his own school of European poetry translation. He supported dissidents such as Joseph Brodsky, A. I. Solzhenitsyn and A. D. Sakharov in the 1960s and 1970s, was accused of anti-Soviet activity and eventually stripped of his academic degree and position. Unable to find other work, he was deported out of the USSR and emigrated to Paris, where he taught at the Université Paris-Nanterre until 1986.
