Anna Akhmatova was a skilled love poet who, through no choice of her own, became a witness to mass violence, an exemplar of endurance and moral strength, and finally a symbol of Russian national resilience. At the start of her career, during the final years of the Russian Empire, Akhmatova was a cultural celebrity who fascinated a generation with her poetry and the drama that she created around herself.
