Image description

Anna Andreevna Akhmatova (1889-1966) In 1946 preparations were made for two new books of Akhmatova's poetry. The second of these, Selected Poems 1910-46, was not intended to be a new work as such but a cheap collected edition for mass consumption. As the publication date neared, however, it became apparent that the war-time relaxation of rules governing civil society had only been a temporary interlude. For Akhmatova, the realisation of this was sudden and ominous: the announcement of an official investigation into the recent publication of several of her poems and a subsequent denunciation by Party Secretary, Andrei Zhdanov. By this stage both of her books had already been printed, but an order was sent out to pulp them. With only a very few exceptions this was carried out. Published by Biblioteka Ogonek No.23, Pravda: Moscow.
