Soviet Jewish poet, prose writer, playwright and translator Aron Davidovich Kushnirov was born on January 7, 1890 in the village of Boyarka, Kyiv province.
During the First World War he served in the Russian Imperial Army.
He started publishing at the age of 19. In 1924, Aron Kushnirov moved to Moscow, where he became a member of the editorial board of the magazine “Storm” (12+) and joined the ranks of the Moscow Association of Jewish Writers and Cultural Workers. A year later, under his leadership, the magazine “October” (12+) began to be published, where he published his prose for the first time.
Aron Davidovich arrived in the Jewish Autonomous Region in 1937 as a very experienced writer. His story “Kinder fun ein folk” (6+) (“Children of a United People”, 1928) was declared by a number of critics to be the highest achievement of Soviet prose in Yiddish. Like other writers of that time, passionate about the “Birobidzhan Project,” he wrote many poems dedicated to the pioneer builders of the region.
Aron Davidovich volunteered for the Great Patriotic War, starting it as a private in the infantry. Aron Kushnirov’s “piggy bank” contains not only poems about Jewish autonomy and war, but also translations into Yiddish of Lermontov, Nekrasov and Gorky, and even “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” (6+).
A. Kushnirov was the only major writer who was not arrested after the liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in November 1948. He tragically experienced the death of Jewish culture in the Soviet Union, which accelerated his death. The writer died in Moscow on September 7, 1949.
