Leonid Dimov (Romanian pronunciation: [le.oˈnid diˈmov]; Bulgarian: Леонид Димов) (January 11, 1926 – December 5, 1987) was a Romanian postmodernist poet and translator born in Izmail, Bassarabia. The son of Nadejda Dimov and Naum Mordcovici, he was one of the main representatives (together with, amongst others, Dumitru Țepeneag) of onirism in Romanian poetry, explorer of the dream as an absolute, objective reality. In 1957 he was arrested for urinating on a statue of Joseph Stalin in Bucharest, but was released after two months due to lack of evidence. He died of a heart attack.
