Alexander Mezhirov
Alexander Petrovich Mezhirov (Russian: Александр Межиров ; September 26, 1923 (see below ) – May 22, 2009) was a Soviet and Russian poet, translator and critic.
Mezhirov was among what has been called a "middle generation" of Soviet poets that ignored themes of communist "world revolution" and instead focused on Soviet and Russian patriotism. Many of them specialized in patriotic lyrics, particularly its military aspects.〔Shlapentokh, Vladimir, (''A normal Totalitarian Society: How the Soviet Union Functioned and How It Collapsed'', publisher: M.E. Sharpe, 2001, ISBN 1-56324-472-1, ISBN 978-1-56324-472-8, Footnote 45, p 235, retrieved via Google Books on May 27, 2009 )〕〔G. S. Smith, "Russian Poetry Since 1945", in Cornwell, Neil, editor, (''Routledge Companion to Russian Literature'' ), p 200, Routledge, 2001, ISBN 0-415-23366-6, ISBN 978-0-415-23366-8, retrieved via amazon.com on May 27, 2009; the book identifies G. S. Smith as "professor of Russian at the University of Oxford"〕 According to G. S. Smith, Mezhirov and a number of other "middle generation" poets "were genuine poets whose testimony, however well-laundered, to the tribulations of their times will endure at least as long as their generation."〔 Some of Mezhirov's lyrical poems based on his wartime experience belong with the best Russian poetical works created in the Soviet 1950s-1960s.
==Life==

Born in Moscow, he was the son of an educated Jewish couple — his father a lawyer, his mother a German-language teacher, and one of his grandfathers was a rabbi. Drafted as a private in July 1941, he fought in World War II before a serious injury led to his demobilization in 1943 as a lieutenant. That same year, he joined the Communist Party; after the war heattended the Literary Institute, graduating in 1948. He translated poetry from Georgian and Lithuanian poets. "Mezhirov is a virtuosic translator, especially recognized for his renditions of Georgian and Lithuanian poetry," anthologist Maxim Shrayer has written.〔Shrayer, Maxim, ("Aleksandr Mezhirov" ), p 879, ''An Anthology of Jewish-Russian Literature: Two Centuries of Dual Identity in Prose and Poetry'', publisher: M.E. Sharpe, 2007, ISBN 0-7656-0521-X, ISBN 978-0-7656-0521-4, retrieved via Google Books on May 27, 2009〕 In 1944, he married Elena Yashchenko. The couple's daughter, Zoya Velikhova, was born in 1949 and became a writer.〔
Mezhirov was a prominent figure in the Soviet literary establishment, although his allegiances and associations were varied. At some points he was close to fellow Jewish-Russian Boris Yampolsky, Kazakh writer Olzhas Suleimenov, and Russian cultural ultranationalist and critic Vadim Kozhinov. Mezhirov associated with younger writers Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Tatyana Glushkova (known for her nationalist views in the mid-1980s, according to Shrayer) and Evgeny Reyn, who was censored in the Soviet Union until the mid-1980s.〔
Although Mezhirov had publicly stated that his patriotism for Russia was so intense that, unlike other Russian Jews, he could not immigrate, he suddenly left Russia for the United States in 1992, settling first in New York, then in Portland, Oregon. As of 2007, according to anthologist Maxim D. Shrayer, he had not revisited Russia.〔 In March 2009 Mezhirov published a collection of new poems, two months before his death. According to the ITAR/TASS news service, his body was to be cremated in the United States, with the ashes to be buried in Peredelkino near Moscow.〔(Умер поэт-фронтовик Александр Межиров ) (Google translation: "He died the poet-veteran Alexander Mezhirov"), May 22, 2009, ITAR/TASS news report, retrieved May 27, 2009〕
At one time the poet was a passionate pool player and was a friend of professional billiards players. He excelled in other games, as well.〔
