Holovanivskyi wrote Avraam (Abraham) about Babi Yar, and Kievan poet Olga Anstei wrote (Kirillov Ravines, another name for Babi Yar.) She and her husband, poet Ivan Elagin, defected from the Soviet Union to the West that year. Undated poems about Babi Yar were written by Leonid Pervomayskiy, In Babi Yar, and Leonid Vysheslavsky, Cross of Olena Teliha. In 1944, Ilya Ehrenburg wrote his Babi Yar, reprinted in 1959, and in 1946 Lev Ozerov wrote and published his long poem Babi Yar. Lev Ozerov's long poem titled Babi Yar first appeared in Oktyabr' magazine's March–April 1946 issue. Again, many references were "coded": The Fascists and the policemen Stand at each house, at every fence. Forget about turning back. Their identities are abstracted even at the pits: A Fascist struck mulishly with the shovel The soil turned wet... The shovel-wielding assailants are not identified. Any further publications about the subject were prohibited, along with the Black Book project of 1947 by Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman, as part of the official Soviet rootless cosmopolitan campaign. A song, "Babi Yar", was created by Natella Boltyanskaya. In 2017, Marianna Kiyanovska published a poetry book titled The Voices of Babyn Yar, for which she was awarded the Shevchenko National Prize in 2020. In the poems, she lent her voice to the Jewish victims of the Babi Yar massacre.
