About Anna Akhmatova

A leading figure of the Acmeist movement, Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966) was born Anna Gorenko near Odessa in the Russian Empire. Her early collections Evening (1912) and Rosary (1914) brought her wide recognition. Her long poem Requiem, written between 1935 and 1940, circulated privately for decades before publication. Soviet authorities barred her from publishing between 1946 and 1958. She was later nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
