His early work also drew praise from Boris Pasternak and Robert Frost. In 1957, YEVGENY YEVTUSHENKO was expelled from the Literary Institute for “individualism”, but gained wide popularity with the Soviet public. In 1961, he published The Heirs of Stalin, in which he stated that Stalinism and its legacy still dominated the country. In 1965, he joined Anna Akhmatova, Jean-Paul Sartre and others and co-signed the letter of protest against the unfair trial of Joseph Brodsky, and also co-signed a letter against invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
There was a stage when the development of Russian literature seemed almost synonymous with his name. YEVGENY YEVTUSHENKO was known for his many alleged love liaisons (married four times). He died on a April morning, 2017, in Tulsa (Oklahoma). His widow, reported that he died peacefully in his sleep. A friend as an absolute natural talent at performance described him.
ON TRANSLATION – A free translation is not a fault. A loving man has a poetic license. But if a melody is spoilt, it will corrupt its gist and essence. The skill of cheats is not what I am for. I am for the poet’s right to free activity. The accuracy a wretched student strives for is not the same as that of creativity. Do not let pedantry restrain your style. More freedom, music, inspiration! I do believe in poems, while I do not believe in sheer translation.
