Writing

Vladimir Pozner

Born 1905-01-18 · Paris, France

Vladimir Solomonovich Pozner (Russian: Владимир Соломонович По́знер, January 5, 1905 in Paris – February 19, 1992 in ibidem) was a French writer and translator of Russian-Jewish descent. His family fled the pogroms to take up residence in France. Pozner expanded on his inherited cultural socialism to associate both in writing and politics with anti-fascist and communist groups in the inter-war period. His writing was important because he made friends with internationally renowned exponents of hardline communism, while rejecting Soviet oppression. (Wiki)
