In my blood there is no Jewish blood.
In their callous rage,
All anti-Semites must hate me now as a Jew.
For that reason
I am a true Russian.


The Poetry of Yevgeny Yevtushenko 1953 to 1965 (1966)


In my blood there is no Jewish blood. In their callous rage, All anti-Semites must hate me now as a Jew. For that reason I am a true Russian.
