Marina Tsvetaeva called Akhmatova Anna of All Rus'. And this is no exaggeration. Almost a hundred years have passed since the publication of the collection “Evening,” but Anna Akhmatova’s poetry has not “become bronzed,” has not turned into a monument to the beginning of the Silver Age, and has not lost its pristine freshness. The language in which female love is expressed in her poems is still understandable to everyone. The one-volume collection of Akhmatova’s selected works is designed for a wide circle of admirers of Russian culture, for all those who remember and honor her behest: “But we will preserve you, Russian speech, the great Russian word."
