Poems

It is no coincidence that at the beginning of the 20th century, Marina Tsvetaeva called Akhmatova "Anna of All Russia", and critics dubbed her "the Russian Sappho": since the celebrated poetess "taught women to speak", her Poems are loved by many readers. Akhmatova's lyrics reflected not only "great earthly love", but also all the tragedies and joys that fell to her generation: from the mists of the Silver Age to the hardships of the Siege of Leningrad.
