"Samuil Rivinovici Leht\u021Bir, also rendered as Leh\u021Bir, Leht\u021B\u00E2r, Lekhtser, and Lehitser (Russian: \u0421\u0430\u043C\u0443\u0438\u043B \u0420\u0438\u0432\u0438\u043D\u043E\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u041B\u0435\u0445\u0442\u0446\u0438\u0440 or \u041B\u0435\u0445\u0442\u0446\u0435\u0440; October 25, 1901 \u2013 October 15, 1937), was Moldovan poet, critic, and literary theorist. Of Bessarabian Jewish origin, he rejected Romanian nationalism as a youth, and fled to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Returning to complete his studies at Cern\u0103u\u021Bi University in the Kingdom of Romania, but was regarded as a political suspect, and again escaped to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (MASSR) in 1926\u2014soon after that polity had been created within the Soviet Union. He was employed as a book publisher and journalist, emerging as an authority on literary matters. Leht\u021Bir adopted Proletkult ideas about the need to destroy and rebuild cultural traditions; on such grounds, he and his colleague Iosif Vainberg came to deny that there was a Bessarabian literature that was worth preserving, and that Moldavian literary tradition could be built up from proletarian identity and Soviet patriotism. This sparked a special controversy within a larger debate about Romanian and Moldavian identity. Leht\u021Bir's ideas were disregarded by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which, in 1932, ordered writers to search for inspiration in their local traditions. As a result, Leht\u021Bir revised his theory, and began hosting selective samples of older Romanian literature in Octombrie magazine. He became a founding figure of Moldavian theater, first with a historical play that was never performed in his lifetime, and later with a political play, Biruin\u021Ba. By that point, Leht\u021Bir had also publicly welcomed the Latinization of Soviet alphabets, which had reduced to a minimum the differences between the Romanian and Moldavian literary standards. This position made the Stalinist regime take notice of Leht\u021Bir, and contributed to his downfall and execution by the NKVD. Shortly before his death, he had been tortured into confessing that he was a Romanian spy. He was largely rehabilitated, alongside other Great Purge victims, by the early 1960s, but the details of his biography were purposefully hidden from the reading public by continued Soviet censorship."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
