She said about herself: “I lived in this world and tried to be better.” Bella Akhmadulina, a great poet and simply a beautiful woman. What was she like? She reigned in Soviet literature starting from the 50s, when the star of the future sixties rose. She had the difficult task of taking the poetic baton from the hands of the greats. It seemed unthinkable that there would be a woman whose name would be placed next to the names of Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva, but Akhmadulina completed this mission with honor. Her life was like a novel - love, scandals, enormous fame and long disgrace. Unfortunately, she did not write memoirs and almost did not tell journalists about herself. In this book, the author has collected everything that is known about Akhmadulina’s childhood, youth and young years from herself, her friends, husbands, children - from memoirs, interviews, radio and television programs, etc. Look at her through the eyes of those who loved and hated. And form your own opinion.
