The full-blown Cold War dominated the political landscape, and there were no traces of their former friendship evident in the verses.It's worth noting that David Samoylov (1920-1990), one of the most prominent Russian poets of the post-war era, made an early appearance with his translation efforts in this book. He contributed five translated verses for the book.
