MOSCOW, Oct. 10 – A noted writer has accused an Odessa court of using the writings of Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam, two of the most famous Russian poets of the 20th century, to convict a 35-year-old Odessa librarian on charges of having distributed anti-Soviet literature...

Alexander Werth. A Classic of the Purge: Alexander Werth

It is to be hoped that this remarkable and superbly written little book will soon be published in English. It is just as significant and, in its own way, fully as masterly as Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich...

Leonid Rzhevsky. Review of Requiem by Anna Akhmatova

The history of this booklet of verses reminds us, in part, of Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago: it also appeared only in the West and was passed over in silence in its homeland. Unlike Pasternak's novel, however, these verses reached the West "without knowledge and agreement of the author...

Review 1963

A New Voice from Russia: David Floyd

A small booklet, some dozen pages of Russian verse has just been published in Munich. It is “Requiem”* by Anna Akhmatova, and for the first time since Pasternak’s “Doctor Zhivago,” a work by a Russian writer of acknowledged greatness has appeared in the West before being seen by the Russians...

Dear Gleb Petrovich,

As promised, a week later, I am sending you the proofs, not only the galleys but the whole layout: all the same, I had to do it anyway. As you can see, it has amounted to 24 pages – exactly three-quarters of the printed sheet...

I have also received some information about Akhmatova, but with the strictest order to not tell anyone for the time being. Unlike the author of the letter about Mandelshtam, A.A. is mortally afraid of any communications with émigrés and foreigners...

I am not a fan of Akhmatova’s Requiem: I think, with the exception of a few lines, it is forced, and more importantly, too declamatory: you don’t really believe it. For me, Akhmatova exists mainly thanks to her “New Year’s Ballad...

I still do not have exact information so as to respond to your proposal of the poetry book (or a booklet): one printer got sick, and another (Bashkirtsev) does not have a telephone, and he lives far from the city, and I will only be able to visit him in another week <…>...
