Akhmatova biography is interesting
A revolution, two world wars, arrests of loved ones and censorship fell to her share. But about everything in order. Read about the most striking events from the life of the poetess and unknown aspects of its biography in our material. The name of her grandmother Anna was glorified in the family of the hereditary nobleman Andrei Antonovich Gorenko and his wife Inna Erasmovna Stogova, a distant relative of Anna Bunina.
The third of the six children, the future poetess opened the world of literature early: “I studied to read on the alphabet of Leo Tolstoy. At the age of five, listening to how the teacher was engaged in her older children, I also began to speak French. ” Anna Akhmatova, “about me” began to write poems already at 11 years old. The first famous works, which she was embarrassed until the end of her life, published in and already at 22 she began to regularly be published in St.
Petersburg and Moscow publications. But Anna Gorenko’s father forbade “disgrace the surname”, and the girl took the pseudonym - the maiden name of her grandmother, who allegedly came from the family of the Horde Prince Akhmat: “They called me Anna in honor of my grandmother Anna Motovilova. Her mother was a Genghisid, Tatar, Princess Akhmatova, whose surname, not realizing that I was going to be a Russian poet, I made Anna Akhmatova with my literary name, the “booth” of the poem Anna Akhmatova was supposed to die in her youth in her childhood Akhmatova received the nickname “Wild Girl”, because she walked “ She wandered without a hat, etc.
But at the same time, Anna was a very painful child. Three sisters of the poetess died from him, Anna herself did not escape him. The development of the disease in childhood was stopped thanks to the move to the Crimea. The new attack overtook the poetess at the age of 25 with the beginning of the First World War. In the year, she was already preparing for death: “On Kazan or Volkov Ah!
She circled the heads of men in Akhmatov’s biographies is often positioned as “the wife of Nikolai Gumilyov” - this is the first and most important cliche that is remembered by readers. Then, the authors of books and essays recall the poetess’s personal life rich in events. Gumilev was really the first husband, but not the first love of Anna Akhmatova. In her youth, she was fascinated by the poet Alexander Fedorov.
What relationship was connected by a fifteen -year -old girl and a thirty -six -year -old man is difficult to say, but in one of Akhmatov’s letters, Gorenko then admitted: “In the summer, Fedorov kissed me again, swore that he loved, and again smelled of lunch.” In M, the poetess married Gumilyov. Their wedding trip was a trip to Paris, where Akhmatova met with Amedeo Modigliani.
Romantic relations did not start right away. Anna came to the capital of France only a year later and spent three months with the artist.
The marriage with Shileiko did not last long, although until the end of his life both spouses remained friends and corresponded. In the year, Akhmatova met Nikolai Punin. He, his wife and daughter became a new family for Akhmatova. So the four of them lived in a fountain house. Even after the rupture of the romantic relationship, the poetess remained in Punin’s apartment for a while: she was too attached to these people, and they are to her.
Among other hobbies of the poet, there were literary critic Nikolai Nevobrovo, artist Boris Anip, to whom more than 30 poems are dedicated to, doctor Vladimir Garshin. Writers Boris Pilnyak and Boris Pasternak made her proposal. And after communicating with the British diplomat, Isaia Berlin, apparently, it was only friendly interest to the Politburo member Andrei Zhdanov drew attention to Akhmatova’s relationship with men: “I was friends with the poetry’s life-in-law, her collections of poems rarely came out.
Up to a year, it was printed without any problems, but later it was on a pencil of the special services. In M, the first collected works saw, and a year later, selected works were published. On this, the intravital publications of the "old -regime author" within the country ended. During the war, the poetess met the writer, translator and memoirist Sofia Ostrovskaya.
The charming and witty woman quickly fascinated the poetess and became her best friend and in the famous “diary” of Ostrovskaya, published in the year, we will not find hints of her underground activities, but the text makes it clear that she did not have a sincere friendship for Akhmatova: “To see this woman is always alarming and joyful for me. But the joy is some kind of bizarre, not quite similar to real joy.
” Sofya Ostrovskaya, "Diary". She gave the latter if she believed that one of her neighbors needed it more, but Akhmatova knew how to be friends. Moreover, according to the recollections of loved ones, she was an absolute unexpunct and distributed property, not caring about her own well -being. One small teaspoon of this concentrate, diluted in boiled water, seemed to our hungry stomachs an inaccurately satisfying dinner.
And the whole tin seemed more expensive than diamonds. We all, who gathered that day with Anna Andreevna, sincerely envied the owner of such wealth. It was too late. The guests, having said plenty, began to diverge home.For some reason, I hesitated and somewhat later went to the dark staircase. And suddenly will I forget this impulsive, imperative gesture of her feminine beautiful hand?
For Murochka with everything else, she parted without regret. The poems and poems by Anna Akhmatova hard binding studied Pushkin’s work along with the best literary critics of her time Akhmatov was not only a poetess. Among her merits before literature are poetic translations, literary articles and memories of contemporaries. She studied the work of Pushkin and Lermontov in particular in detail.
So it was Akhmatova who found the literary source of the Tales of the Golden Cockerel, proving that she goes back to the “Legend of the Arab Star of Washington”, and also showed the connection of the novel “Adolf” by Benjam Constant and Evgeny Onegin and the Stone Guest. Three times he was arrested and the third civil husband Nikolai Punin died in the camp in the year. For more than ten years, the only son, historian Lev Gumilev, spent in prison.
To help the latter, Akhmatova created the collection “Glory to the World” actually - “Glory to Stalin”. Lidia Chukovskaya evaluates this gesture as a “act of despair”. But not praises to the government, nor a letter in the name of the “leader”, nor the hourly standing of Akhmatova at the door of the “Crosses” saved Gumilyov from several years in prison. The historian himself was confident that the poetess did not do enough, and for a long time the relationship of mother and son was stretched.
For Akhmatova herself, this time has forever remained one of the worst periods in life. And in the poem “Requiem”, which was created for almost 20 years, she wrote: and if someday in this country.
