Zabolotskiy (English spelling) Nikolay Alekseevich Zabolotskiy

Japanese: ザボロツキー - ざぼろつきー（英語表記）Николай Алексеевич Заболоцкий／Nikolay Alekseevich Zabolotskiy

1903‐58
Soviet poet and translator. Born into a family of agricultural engineers, he initially studied at a medical school in Moscow, but dropped out and graduated from the Faculty of Letters at the Herzen Pedagogical University in Leningrad. He began writing in 1923, and attracted attention with a series of lyric poems that philosophically examined the position of humans in the universe. In his epic poem The Victory of Agriculture (1933), he expressed the idea that human reason and work can bring harmony to the chaotic world of nature, a view close to that of his later years. However, he was unjustly arrested during the Great Purge in 1936 and exiled to the Far East.
