Ilya Ehrenburg (Илья Григорьевич Эренбург; 1891-1967), prolific Soviet-Jewish writer, wrote in various styles and genres – novels, satire, poetry, essays, and journalism. Born to a Jewish family in Kiev, however, in his writing he did not often deal with his Judaism, but rather delved into exploring various aspects of Soviet society. Ehrenburg's journalistic writing during World War II had a significant impact on the Soviet population, gaining him recognition from the authorities.
