Re: [Cz-L] Shilgass

Hardy,

Henri Barbusse was indeed a communist, but he also happened to be a
French writer, whose many novels were translated into at least 40
languages, including German, and Yiddish, and Hebrew, and, yes,
Ukrainian, and whose novel "Le Feu" won him the Prix Goncourt,
arguably one of the world's highest literary awards.

As to the names of other communists on the current map of Czernowitz,
you are not quite right: at least a couple of dozens streets are named
after assorted communists, notably vul. Karla Liebknechta (former
Uhrmachergasse) and vul. Rosy Luxemburg (former Ankergasse). And the
latter two did not write even a small book of poetry!
