Анна Ахматова. Гумилев и другие мужчины "дикой девочки"

“Wild girl” - that’s what Akhmatova was called in childhood. “Descendant of the Horde Khan” - that’s what she called herself. Many men, many hobbies, always fans. Having analyzed numerous memoirs of her contemporaries and compared the facts, Anna Akhmatova appears capricious, cold and selfish. If in her harmonious, deep poetry scatterings of precious uniqueness sparkle, then in Anna Andreevna as a person, alas, the banal traits of a woman who is far from being the most intelligent, skillful, generous and moral prevail. Did Anna of All Rus' manage to change after her great poetry, did her son finally appreciate the belated sacrifice of an inattentive mother? Which of her husbands did she really love, and which were just a background to her unusualness. What kind of relationship did Anna Andreevna have with Gumilev and Modigliani? About all this in the new book by Lyudmila Boyadzhieva, who took a very ambivalent approach to the image of the great poetess.
