From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shabdar Osyp (Mari: Шабдар Осып, born 8 April 1898 - died 1937 (?)) was a Mari author.

He was born as Iosif Arkhipovich Shabdarov (Russian: Иосиф Архипович Шабдаров) in the village of Izi Luzhalu in Mari El.

He started writing poetry in 1918.

He studied at a pedagogical college in Kazan.

Like most of the Mari intelligentsia at the time, he became a victim of stalinism. He was rehabilitated posthumously.
