Joseph Brodsky - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Brodsky was born into a Russian Jewish family in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). He was a descendant of a prominent and ancient rabbinic family, Schorr (Shor).[5][6] His direct male-line ancestor is Joseph ben Isaac Bekhor Shor. His father, Aleksandr Brodsky, was a professional photographer in the Soviet Navy, and his mother, Maria Volpert Brodskaya, was a professional interpreter whose work often helped to support the family. They lived in communal apartments, in poverty, marginalized by their Jewish status.[7] In early childhood, Brodsky survived the Siege of Leningrad where he and his parents nearly died of starvation; one aunt did die of hunger.[8]
