Peretz and Bialik, his exile to various cities, the death of his parents, various connections he dealt with, and more. The writer has not been identified for sure, though according to various details mentioned in his notebook it may be stated that the writer before us is Yiddish writer Samuel Nissan Goodiner. 

The poet and playwright and Yiddish writer Samuel Nissan Goodiner [1893-1941] born in Russia, received a traditional childhood education, and from his youth he was a devoted member of the Russian Communist Party. At the age of 15, he traveled with his family to Warsaw, where he began to publish his stories. His literary mentor was YL Peretz who was encouraged to continue writing. In 1921, the party was sent to the Higher Literary Institute in the name of the poet Valerie Bryusov, studied there for two years and created his Yiddish works that conformed to the regime's requirements. He also wrote poems, but his strength was revealed in fiction. The subjects of his writing at the beginning of his journey were the stories of revolution and the civil war in Russia. Samuel Nissan Goodiner joined the communist Yiddish writers and published in the journal "Starn" ("star") in the city of Minsk, and the Yiddish periodicals of the regime. He wrote plays and translated works by Soviet writers (Yuri Ulsha, Fyodor Gladkov and Lilya Saipolina). He has visited Birobidz several times, and helped establish cultural institutions in Yiddish that are loyal to the regime. His many Yiddish books have been circulated throughout the Jewish world, including the United States and the Land of Israel. After his death, several of his books were reprinted, in New York, published by ICOF, in 1950. None of Godiner's work was translated into Hebrew.
