Kostas Kubilinskas
Kostas Kubilinskas was a Lithuanian poet known for his writing for children. Amongst his books is The Frog Queen, a 1974 collection of children's poetry illustrated by Algirdas Steponavicius and translated into English by Avril Pyman.
According to the Genocide and Resistance Research Centre of Lithuania, Kubilinskas served as a spy for the MGB so that his poems could be published. The centre's report alleges that during his time there he murdered Benediktas Labenas, leader of an anti-Soviet partisan group.
In 2007 his poem The Wolf with a Frozen Tail was adapted into an animated film directed by Rasa Joni, The Tail.
