Igor Mironovich Guberman (Russian: ?´???? ????´????? ???????´?, IPA: ['ig?r? m??'ron?v??t? g?b??r'man] (listen), born 7 July 1936, Kharkov) is a Russian writer and poet of Jewish ancestry; since 1988 lives in Israel.
His poetry has received a great deal of acclaim primarily because of his signature aphoristic and satiric quatrains that he called "gariki" in Russian (singular: "garik," which is also the diminutive form of the author's first name, Igor).
(Gariki).
These short poems (originally Guberman called them "Jewish Dazibao") always feature an a-b-a-b rhyme scheme, employ various poetic meters, and cover a wide range of subjects including antisemitism, immigrant life, anti-religious sentiment, and the author's love-hate relationship with Russia.
