Brodsky was born in Saint-Petersburg, started to write poems as a teenager and as a youth he joined a group of several slightly older poets who grouped aound common mentor, an acclaimed poet Anna Akhmatova. Brodsky in his youth tried many trades, among other thigs he worked at a plant. Still his lyrical creations did not find much favour with the communist regime so he was formally accused of a failure to be employed (parasitism, under communists it was an article in the penal code) and sent in exile to a remote Noethern village.

On return to Saint-Petersburg his acclaim kept growing, so did the wariness (and weariness) of the Communist regime with his oeuvre, which was actually by no means Antisoveticб he just existed outside the ideological paradigm. Finally he was told to choose between TheGulag and emigration, he opted for the latter and departed for USA.

As an emigre Brodsky taught literature to American students in the uiversities and became a public person. He was reputed to deviate from the Westen liberal dogma, like Creator/AleksandrSolzhenitsyn (though he was much less of a Conservative). Brodsky was awarded UsefulNotes/NobelPrizeInLiterature in 1987.
