Osip Mandelstam is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Russian Acmeist poet ('Stone', 'Tristia')
Mandelstam was a Russian poet and a leading figure of the Acmeist movement, whose collections Stone and Tristia are landmarks of 20th-century verse for their classical clarity and dense imagery. Born into a Jewish family, he was persecuted for an epigram mocking Stalin and died in a Gulag transit camp; his work survived through his widow Nadezhda's memory.
