Kurds'komu bratovi
"Kurds'komu bratovi" (Ukrainian: Курдському братові, lit. 'To a Kurdish Brother') is an Aesopian poem written by the Ukrainian Vasyl Symonenko in March 1963 and disseminated clandestinely in samizdat until 1965 when it appeared posthumously in the German journal Suchasnist. It has been described as one of Symonenko's greatest works and made Symonenko a national hero and one of the most important figures in Ukrainian literature.
