Ilf was a Jew and Petrov was Russian thus Ostap was half-Jew..." That much I gathered,as I said in my post, but I believe i read somewhere that Ostop has a Jewish mother,That is where the Bender comes from and Panikovski was a Tatar from Smara! Where did I read that? ggg And that makes Ostop what? "Still brilliant people lost their lifes for this....(Bulgakov-most prominent among them) If Ostap Bender (and his creators) were writing in 1936 they would not be joking..." Yes, although they were both dead by 1942, I still think the reason they were not arrested was that the story of Ostop was well approved by the regime! It attacked the NEP, it criticized the clergy, and the old ruling class, and maybe, but maybe it had a tint of..........???? "except Ostap would be emigrating in 70's...<ggg> and not to Rio de Janeiro...<g>" Why not America? ggg Maybe he found a new profession? LOL!
