Eduard Bagritsky Writer

Eduard Bagritsky (Russian: Эдуа́рд Гео́ргиевич Багри́цкий; IPA: [ɪdʊˈard ɡʲɪˈorɡʲɪjɪvʲɪtɕ bɐˈɡrʲitskʲɪj] (13px ); November 3 [O.S. October 22] 1895 – February 16, 1934) was an important Russian and Soviet poet of the Constructivist School. He was a Neo-Romantic early in his poetic career; he was also a part of the so-called Odessa School of Russian writers (which also included Isaak Babel, Yuri Olesha, Valentin Katayev, Vera Inber, Ilya Ilf and Yevgeni Petrov, among others). A large number of this school's writers were Odessa natives who often incorporated Ukrainian inflections and vocabulary into their writing.
