"Y" in Literature by HensleyB

Question 5

Identify the author of the lines below:

The 'Internationale,' let it thunder
when the last antisemite on earth
is buried for ever.
In my blood there is no Jewish blood.
In their callous rage, all antisemites
must hate me now as a Jew.
For that reason
I am a true Russian!

Yevgeny Yevtushenko
