Dmitry Mikhailovich Censor (December 10 (22), 1877, Vilna province — December 26, 1947, Moscow) was a Russian poet of the "Silver age". Kirill Finkelstein writes about D. Censor: 

"DM. censor became one of the heroes of Korney Chukovsky's parody novel "the present Eugene Onegin" ("and the Censor — a daring poet — / stealthily reaches for the buffet"), with whom in the early 1900s he collaborated in the newspaper "Odessa news", as well as a participant in the story of M. Zoshchenko "a Case in the province", which tells how after the revolution " one autumn, the imagist poet Nikolai Ivanov, the pianist Marusya Grekova, I and the lyric poet Dmitry censor Left St. Petersburg in search of easier bread." I. S. eventov recalled that DM. The censor was one of those who carried the coffin with the body of a. Block in 1921." His stepson is the outstanding figure skater Oleg Protopopov. It was the stepfather who gave the first skates to his stepson, a future two-time Olympic champion. Oleg Protopopov recalled: "my stepfather saved our lives by dragging my mother and me out of the besieged Leningrad when we were already on the verge of death»
