Boris Pasternak’s was awarded about the Nobel prize and he felt conflicted emotions in that moment, because it was such an honor to be recognized and even more internationally, but this became a reason to be maligned by the Soviet authorities and that's why he felt a huge pressure and he decided to declined the prize. The censorship forced him to curb his previously unchained artistic tendencies, while his early poetries were full of imagined possibilities that are beyond reality, under the Soviet censorship, his poetry was subdued and he had to change from his lyrical style to the epic style of poetry that the Soviet authorities promoted. And where in he detested one of his work, entitled "Second Birth", because he had to compromise his standards, simplifying the language to appeal to the masses.
