Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Siberian Poet Who Denounced Stalin And Inspired Millions, Has Died At 83

The poet, who “often declaimed with sweeping gestures to thousands of excited admirers in public squares, sports stadiums and lecture halls” in the years soon after Stalin died, ended his own days in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he had been for many years a professor at the University of Tulsa.
