Abstract

The paper belongs to a series of the authors’ publications containing referential and poetological comments on lyrical texts by Anna Akhmatova-Gorenko (1889–1966), one of the most influential poets in the European literature and culture in the 20th century. Her texts have been inspired by tragic events in her biography of the 1940-s and the 1950-s. After Akhmatova, these events have been provoked by her contacts with the famed British-Jewish philosopher and historian sir Isaiah Berlin.
