See the comment upthread about de facto Holocaust denial in the Soviet Union. This was an act of moral courage that Yevtushenko is justly lauded for.

This is not correct though. Holocaust was ignored or silenced due to ideology, not denied.

Not trying to say this is somehow better, but this just different. In other words Yevtushenko wasn't trying to bring to reason, but rather make sure people won't forget.
