Life

The first publication of the poem "Tjoploe Dychanie" (Eng. "Warm Breath") appeared in December 1970 in the literary magazine "Vitčyzna" (Eng. "Fatherland"). His friend, the Ukrainian poet Nikolai Baschan , who was the first to become aware of his works and who later supported the poet, gave his poems to the editors. He wrote the introduction to his first anthology "Jambowe Kolo" (Eng. "Jamber Kreis"), publishing house "Molod" 1974. Fischbejn worked in the chief editor of the Ukrainian Soviet encyclopedia and as literary secretary of Bashan (1974-1975).

In 1979 Fischbejn emigrated to Israel. Fischbejn worked from 1980 to 1981 as a correspondent for the Ukrainian-language literary and political magazine "Sutschasnist" (Eng. "Present"), which was published by the Ukrainian diaspora in the USA and West Germany (now in Kiev).

From 1982 Mojsej Fischbejn lived in Germany. From 1982 to 1995 Fischbejn worked with the Ukrainian and Russian editors of Radio “Swoboda” (Radio Free Europe) as a correspondent, commentator and editor.

In 1984 his book "Zbirka bez nazvy" (Eng. "Anthology without a name") was published in New York . The book consists of 3 parts: 28 original poems, a collection of children's poems and extensive translations from French ( Charles Baudelaire ), German ( Heinrich Heine , Rainer Maria Rilke , Georg Trakl , Hugo von Hofmannsthal , Paul Celan , Hans Carl Artmann and others ), Hebrew ( Yehuda Halevi , Chaim Nachman Bialik , Manfred Winkler ), from Yiddish ( Meyer Harats ), Russian ( Maximilian Woloschin , Alexander Twardowski ), Spanish and other languages.

In 1989, after a ten-year break, Fischbejn's publications were published in Ukraine: articles, interviews, translations, prose . In particular in the literary magazine "Vsesvit" (Eng. "Universum"), 1989 No. 9.

In 1989 Fischbejn supported and organized a children's trip to Israel for the victims of the Chernobyl disaster , which took place in January 1990. Immediately afterwards he supported a second trip for the children to Landshut ( Federal Republic of Germany ). The publishing house "Veselka" (Eng. "Rainbow") published its book with the children's poems with parallel translations from Ukrainian into Yiddish in 1990.

In 2003 Fischbejn returned to Ukraine. He was a member of the Ukrainian Center of the International PEN Club and the National Union of Ukrainian Poets.
