Arkady Georgievich Gornfeld (1867 - 1941) was a prominent[1] Russian essayist, literary critic and translator, best known for a feud with dissident poet Osip Mandelstam. In the 1930s, Lenin unsuccessfully sought to have him exiled.

Life and Work

Arkady G. Gornfeld was born in 1941 in Sevastopol, the son of a notary. He went on to study philology, literature and psychology at Kharkov University and Berlin University. He then embarked on a career writing for various publications, including Russian Wealth. In his assessment of Jewish-Russian literature, he argued that the shtetl writings so far had failed to reach the greatness of Tolstoy.[2]
