Juhan Lilienbach (24\/12 October 1870 \u2013 9 May 1928) was a revolutionary poet and publisher.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLilienbach was born in Viru County and attended Paatna village school. For some time, he worked in Viru County but in 1901 settled in Tallinn. There, he joined Mikhail Kalinin\u2019s circle of social democrats. In 1905, he started publishing political literature supporting the revolution and in 1909 founded the publishing house M\u00f5te. Lilienbach left Estonia with Bolsheviks in 1918 and settled in what was then called Petrograd (St Petersburg, Leningrad). There, he also acted as a publisher, for example, as head of the K\u00fclvaja publishing house. He died after a long illness in Leningrad and is buried in Novodevichy Cemetery.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his young days, Lilienbach collected folklore; his first poems were published in the press in the final decades of the 19th century. At the beginning, his poetry was mainly epigonic; his way of expression changed clearly after he embraced revolutionary ideas. A vivid example of that time\u2019s working-class poetry is his collection Ommikulaulud<\/i> (\u2018Morning Songs\u2019, 1909) where an essential part belongs to satirical poetry. Lilienbach used stylistic devices known from folk songs. In his later poetry, the main emphasis is on the themes of revolution.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLilienbach played an essential role as a publisher. He concentrated on introduction of the Marxist world view, working-class movement and various socio-political aspects. He published partly the first part of K. Marx\u2019s Capital<\/i> (1910\u20131914), various satirical pamphlets and albums, e.g., Edasi<\/i> (\u2018Forward\u2019) I and II (1905\u20131906).<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2015, Lilienbach\u2019s long poem Me tahame elada<\/i> (\u2018We Want to Live\u2019) was performed and recorded by the Estonian rapper Beebil\u00f5ust (Andrus Elbing).<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
