Stepan Shchipachev
Stepan Petrovich Schipachev (Russian: Степа́н Петро́вич Щипачёв; 1898 – 1980) was a Russian poet. He is best known for the poem Lines of Love and poetry collections Musings (1962), A Man's Hand (1964), and Selected Works (1965).
He was engaged in literary activity since 1919. He has published more than 20 poetry collections. Many of his verses were published in the periodical press. His themes include reflection on nature and on romantic love, however he was primarily known for his lyrics on social subjects (what in Russian poetical tradition is called гражданская лирика).
Poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko claims that in 1960 Shchipachev actively supported the ban for Yevtushenko travelling abroad.[1]. Shchipachev signed a famous letter from a group of Soviet writers that was published in Pravda on August 31, 1973, in which they condemned Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov.[2]
