What happened to Issac Babel in KR?

Post Body

With all of the excellent Ukraine content added in various recent-ish patches, there's one prominent figure from Ukrainian history I was surprised not to see - the writer Isaac Babel. Babel was from a middle class Jewish family in Odessa and is probably best described politically as a moderate socialist. His Red Cavalry and Odessa Stories were and are critically acclaimed. Babel ran afoul of the increasingly totalitarian USSR after Stalin's rise to power and was eventually arrested and murdered by the NKVD in 1940

The Ukraine content in KR includes a surprising (for me) amount of detail about Ukrainian cultural and intellectual life, so was surprised to see Babel not mentioned anywhere (at least that I'm aware). Is there a lore reason that he wasn't included? Not complaining, just curious
