Osip Emilievich Mandelstam

Osip Mandelstam was arrested during the Russian repressions of the 1930s and sent into internal exile with his wife, Nadezhda Mandelstam. Given a reprieve of sorts, they moved to Voronezh in southwestern Russia. In 1938, Mandelstam was arrested again and sentenced to five years in a corrective-labour camp in the far east of the Soviet Union. He died that year at a transit camp near Vladivostok.
