Anna Akhmatova
(1889-1966)
Anna Akhamtova is to Russia what Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is to México. They are the most gifted women poets of their respective countries.When I look at the calm countenance of Akhmatova , Im reminded of the calm, dignified face of the poet nun who gaces our 200 eso notes. These are seemingly serene faces. Butknowing both their stories, I see more than serenity. I see stoic faces, sufferringa faces, enduring faces, visages for the ages.
What these two women were forced to endurewould test the equanimity of a yogi. In Son Juana´s case, the harsh Inquisition-minded Church of the 17th century that actually removed the writing materials from her conventcell, in Anna´s case the harsh, murderous repression of the Stalinist years. In her words: “that was a time when only the dead culd smile. The stars of death stood over usand Russia, guiltless, writhed/ Under the crunch of bloodstained boots/ Under the wheels of Black Marias.”
Her first husband was executed in 1921 for “counterrevolutionaryactivity “. Her son, Lev, was imprisoned for eleven years accused, as was Anna, of bourgeois and therefore, decadent tendencies. The strong –armed authorities forbadepublication of her poems for decades. She didn´t even dare write them down, so she and her closest friend memorized them. Under Khrushchev´s de Stalinization program she was allowed topartially publish once again. And the result was “Requiem” her most famous poem that recounts the suffering, grief and mourning of the Russian people under Stalin´styrannical rule. She had take on the public role as chronicler of the Terror, the purges and the persecutions. She became deeply loved by the Russin people. And of her imprisoned son?
