Anna Akhmatova, Ukrainian-Russian poet and author, celebrated St. Petersburg beauty known throughout the Russias as the "Queen Of The Neva", one of the most significant poets of the Silver Age of Russian poetry in the years before and after the turn of the 20th century, and later of the Stalinist years, held in official disfavour and persecuted in Soviet Russia for most of the rest of her career, belatedly rehabilitated at the end of her life, becoming thereby an even more famous and revered Russian artist (June 23 [O.S. June 11], 1889 - March 5, 1966) was born Anna Andreyevna Gorenko at Bolshoy Fontan, a resort suburb of the Black Sea port of Odessa. Her father, Andrey Antonovich Gorenko, was a naval engineer and descendant from a noble Ukrainian cossack family, and her mother, Inna Erazmovna Stogova, was a descendant from the Russian nobility with close ties to Kiev. Anna Akhmatova was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in 1965 and received second-most (three) nominations for the award the following year. Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935-40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her style, characterised by its economy and emotional restraint, was strikingly original and distinctive to her contemporaries. The strong and clear leading female voice struck a new chord in Russian poetry. Her writing can be said to fall into two periods - the early work (1912-25) and her later work (from around 1936 until her death), divided by a decade of reduced literary output. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate, and remaining in Russia, acting as witness to the events around her. Her perennial themes include meditations on time and memory, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. Primary sources of information about Akhmatova's life are relatively scant, as war, revolution and the Soviet regime caused much of the written record to be destroyed. For long periods she was in official disfavour and many of those who were close to her died in the aftermath of the revolution. Akhmatova's first husband, Nikolay Gumilyov, was executed by the Soviet secret police, and her son Lev Gumilyov and her common-law husband Nikolay Punin spent many years in the Gulag before he died there. Anna Akhmatova #died of heart failure aged 76 at a sanatorium in Moscow. In November 1965, soon after her visit to Oxford to receive an honorary doctoral degree, Akhmatova suffered a heart attack and was hospitalised. She was moved to Domodedovo Sanitorium, where she eventually died. Thousands attended the two memorial ceremonies, held in Moscow and in Leningrad. After being displayed in an open coffin, she was interred at Komarovo Cemetery in St. Petersburg. Russian-British philosopher and intellectual historian of ideas Sir Isaiah Berlin (June 6, 1909 - November 5, 1997) said of her passing: "The widespread worship of her memory in Soviet Union today, both as an artist and as an unsurrendering human being, has, so far as I know, no parallel. The legend of her life and unyielding passive resistance to what she regarded as unworthy of her country and herself, transformed her into a figure [...] not merely in Russian literature, but in Russian history in [the twentieth] century." In 1988, to celebrate what would have been Akhmatova's 100th birthday, Harvard University held an international conference on her life and work. Today her work may be explored at the Anna Akhmatova Literary and Memorial Museum in St. Petersburg.
