circle of his brilliant contemporaries (A. Blok, V. Bryusov, A.
Bely, Z. Gippius, M. Voloshin). According to her, in 1910

(The Silver Age is usually called the heyday of Russian poetry at the beginning of the 20th century.)

And the silver moon is bright
It was freezing over the Silver Age. (A. Akhmatova)

II. Recording the lesson topic and plan in your notebooks.

1. The history of the appearance of the pseudonym “Akhmatova”.

Already in her high school years, Akhmatova wrote poetry. Akhmatova is the surname of her grandmother (maternal great-grandmother), which became the pseudonym of Anna Andreevna Gorenko.

From the biography of A. Akhmatova: born on June 23 (NS) in 1889 in the village of Bolshoy Fontan near Odessa (real name Gorenko, married to Gumelev).

His childhood years were spent in Tsarskoye Selo near St. Petersburg. Here she studied at the Tsarskoye Selo (Mariinskaya) girls' gymnasium.

I spent my holidays near Sevastopol, on the shore of Streletskaya Bay (now one of the districts of Sevastopol). “The most powerful impression of these years,” Akhmatova recalled, “was ancient Chersonesos, near which we lived.”

In this area on the seashore there is a park named after. Anna Akhmatova. At the entrance to the park there is a memorial plaque on which is an image of the poet’s profile (she did not allow herself to be called a poetess) and written words taken from her wonderful poem “Requiem”:

I have a lot to do today:
Necessary completely kill the memory,
Necessary so that the soul turns to stone,
Necessary learn to live again.

In 1903 he met Nikolai Gumelev. The first early poems were written. Then he studied at the Kiev-Fundukleevskaya gymnasium. And in 1907, Akhmatova’s first published poem appeared in the Parisian magazine Sirius, published by N. Gumelev.

1908–1909 – study at the Faculty of Law of the Kyiv Higher Women's Courses. And in April 1910, “... I married N.S. Gumeleva, and we,” writes Akhmatova, “went to Paris for a month.”

. The love story of N. Gumilev and A. Akhmatova is reflected in poetry.

The first collections of poems by A. Akhmatova were called “Evening” (1912) (According to L. Chukovskaya, at first she wanted to call the collection “Evening” “Swan”, but she was dissuaded).

“Clenched her hands under a dark veil” ( Annex 1.)

Preliminary questions: What is the theme of the poem “Clenched hands under a dark veil...”?

Who is the hero of this poem?
What paths did you notice in the poem?
(Reading a poem.)

Analysis of the poem “Clenched her hands under a dark veil...” (1911).

This is a typical poem from the book “Evening”, which presents the difficult relationship between a man and a woman. The theme of the poem is love.

The lyrical heroine speaks to her conscience ( invisible hero) after a date with a person who has no identifying marks in the poem. The entire conversation is omitted, and its content is concentrated in one capacious metaphor: “...I made him drunk with tart sadness.”

A woman, overcome with sudden compassion, admits her guilt to those whom she makes suffer. They “drunk” with sadness his, but now she is suffering, and it is her own fault. The strength of feeling is indicated by repeated verbs: “ran away”, “I ran”, “out of breath, I screamed”. “Without touching the railing,” that is, quickly, without any caution, is an acmeistically precise, psychologically rich internal detail

At the end of the first verse of the last stanza, the word “joke” hangs, separated from the end of the phrase by a strong poetic transfer. It is clear that everything previous was serious.

On October 10, 1912, Anna Akhmatova gave birth to a son, Levushka (Lev Nikolaevich Gumelev - historian, geographer, specialist in the ethnogenesis of the peoples of Eurasia).

In March 1914, the second book of poems “Rosary” was published, which included the poem “I learned to live simply, wisely...”, written in Florence (1912), where they rested with N. Gumelev for 10 days. (It is believed that the poem was written upon returning from Italy in Kyiv on the Litki estate, owned by Akhmatova’s relatives).

(Reading the poem “I learned to live simply, wisely.”) (Appendix 2)

914 The second book of poems, “Rosary Beads,” will be published in March.

It would seem that everything was going great in A. Akhmatova’s life: marriage with a loved one, recognition, the birth of a son. But the tragic era touched the life of every person.

1914 World War I. N. Gumilev in the army. Correspondence.

(A prepared student reads the poem “You are my letter, dear, don’t crumple...”) (Appendix 3)

In 1915, the poem “Prayer” (1915) appeared. (Appendix 4)

Preliminary questions:

  • To whom is the poem addressed?
  • What sacrifice is she willing to make?
  • For what purpose is this sacrifice made?

The blood connection with Russia was felt especially sharply in the most difficult times, starting with the First World War. M. Tsvetaeva called A. Akhmatova “the muse of crying.”

Revolution and Civil War. Refusal to leave Russia.

I'm not with those who abandoned the earth
To be torn apart by enemies...

Akhmatova’s relationship with her homeland was not at all simple. Here she experienced suffering and torment, shared the pain with the people, whose voice she rightfully became. But for Akhmatova, the words “Motherland” and “power” were never synonymous. There was no choice for her - to leave Russia or stay. She considers running away a betrayal:

In September 1917, the book of poems “The White Flock” was published.

I stopped smiling
The frosty wind chills your lips,
There is one less hope,
There will be one more song.

Akhmatova experienced the tragic fate of Russia together with her; she shared the fate of her homeland.

Already in the first post-revolutionary years, the name of Akhmatova was often contrasted with the names of poets of revolutionary Russia.

In 1921... The book of poems “Plantain” was published.

The wave of Stalinist repressions also covered Akhmatova. At the funeral of A.A. Blok, Akhmatova learns that her husband, Nikolai Gumelev, has been arrested, allegedly for participating in a counter-revolutionary conspiracy. (The case was fabricated by the Cheka authorities). Soon he was shot.

1922. The book of poems “Anno Domini” is published.

Mid 20s...

1st student: “Since the mid-20s, my new poems have almost stopped being published, and my old ones have almost stopped being reprinted.”

2nd student: “Since 1925, the Central Committee issued a resolution (not published in print) to remove me (meaning Akhmatova’s poems) from circulation.”

1935 Arrest of Anna Akhmatova's only son, Lev Nikolaevich Gumelev (he was arrested three times - in 1935, 1938 and 1940). After her son's arrest in 1938, Akhmatova began the poem “Requiem.”

Mass repressions in the country and personal tragic events brought this work to life.

“During the terrible years of the Yezhovshchina, I spent seventeen months in prison lines in Leningrad. One day someone “identified” me. Then, a woman with blue lips standing behind me, who, of course, had never heard my name in her life, woke up from the stupor that is characteristic of us all and asked me in my ear (everyone there spoke in a whisper):

– Can you describe this?

And I said:

Then something like a smile crossed what had once been her face.”

Akhmatova worked on this work for five years, intermittently. The poem was created under inhuman conditions.

The poems lived in the memories of friends and relatives, since it was dangerous to leave them on paper. Akhmatova, as Lydia Chukovskaya recalls, said: “Eleven people knew “Requiem” by heart, and no one gave me away.”

The main motives of the poem are memory, the bitterness of oblivion, the unthinkability, impossibility of death, the motive of the crucifixion, the gospel sacrifice.

The poem was made up of individual poems created mainly in the pre-war period. These poems were finally compiled into a single work only in the fall of 1962, when it was first written on paper.

When getting acquainted with the poem’s structural parts, one is struck by the interstriations of dates: “Instead of a Preface” is dated 1957, the epigraph “No, and not under an alien firmament...” - 1961, “Dedication” - 1940, “Introduction” - 1935 -m

It is also known that the version of the “Epilogue” was dictated by the author to her friend L. D. Bolshintsova in 1964. Consequently, these dates are just different signs that Akhmatova turned to this creation over the last thirty years of her life. It is important to be able to look away from these figures and perceive “Requiem” as a holistic work dictated by a tragic time.

Word "Requiem" translated as "funeral mass" as a service for the deceased. At the same time, it is a designation for a mournful piece of music.

Already in 1961, the poem was preceded by an epigraph that strictly but accurately reflected the author’s civic and creative position:

“No, and not under an alien sky,
And not under the protection of alien wings,
I was then with my people,
Where my people, unfortunately, were.” (1961

)

Here the word “alien” is repeated twice, and the word “people” twice. The idea of ​​uniting the destinies of the people and their poet is expressed.

The title - “Requiem” - sets a solemn and mournful mood; it is associated with death, mournful silence, which is proportional to the immensity of suffering.

To save her son, Akhmatova wrote poems for I. Stalin’s birthday and turned to him with a request. Soon released, the son was arrested again, during the war he fought at the front to the bitter end, and in 1949 he was imprisoned for the third time, and only in May 1956 was he freed/

(Reading the poem chapters VI–X and the epilogue.)

The last chapter is the longest. It presents the story of the tormented soul of the people: one half of them in prisons are husbands and sons, the other half in prison queues, these are mothers and wives - all of Russia. Not a word about the executioners - they did not deserve words, but they deserved oblivion.

In the last chapter there is a powerful chorus of women not screaming, not crying - howling. This chapter does not give hope and does not promise change: “the list was taken away and there is nowhere to find out.”

And only Memory and this poem are the main assistants, without which it is impossible to remain faithful to the past for the sake of the future.

1941 The Great Patriotic War. Leningrad blockade.

At the beginning of the war, Akhmatova remained in besieged Leningrad, then she was evacuated to Tashkent, and already in 1944, Akhmatova returned to liberated Leningrad.

During the Great Patriotic War, Akhmatova sees her purpose as becoming a voice of courage and sorrow, sharing the grief of her country.

The Motherland, in the poems of this period, is identified with Russian speech, with the native word, with the most precious thing, what is worth fighting for, what must be sacrificially defended. And if Akhmatova says “we”, this is the voice of the entire people, united by the Word.

Akhmatova’s support point has always been her native land, and throughout her life she was connected with St. Petersburg. Every feature of his appearance is an important detail, a detail of her fate.

In 1946, a campaign was opened against Akhmatova, persecution was organized: in the speech of A. Zhdanov and the subsequent Resolution of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks “On the magazines “Star” and “Leningrad”, Akhmatova’s poetry was declared alien to the people, hostile to them.

Together with Akhmatova, M. Zoshchenko also came under pressure from the authorities. Both were expelled from the Writers' Union, deprived of their livelihood, and found themselves outcasts in their own country. The circulation of the collection of poems by A. Akhmatova, already published in 1946, was destroyed.

She had to live literally in a gatehouse, a booth, in the suburbs of Komarovo. But even here she had friends and students. One of them, I. Brodsky, became a Nobel Prize laureate. In 1956, the son was released. A. Akhmatova begins to publish again.

On March 5 (Stalin's birthday!), 1966, Anna Akhmatova passed away. But, apparently, even a dead, real poet is dangerous for unworthy rulers. In the poem “Requiem” the people speak through the lips of the poet, this is stated directly: “And if they shut my tormented mouth, // To which a hundred million people are screaming...”

In the “Epilogue,” the functions of the poet and poetry seem to merge with the idea of ​​great intercession for people. And this is the great heritage of Russian literature, which makes Akhmatova a national, people's poet. There is no grandiose monument at Akhmatova’s grave, only a homemade cross. She doesn't need monuments. Her life and her poems became the eternal and most lasting monument.

“I didn’t stop writing poetry. For me, they contain my connection with time, with the new life of my people. When I wrote them, I lived in those rhythms that sounded in the heroic history of my country.” (Appendix 7)

And Anna Akhmatova has one more merit. “I taught women to speak... But, God, how can I silence them!” Indeed, with the advent of Anna Akhmatova in literature, poetesses appeared: Marina Tsvetaeva, Rimma Kazakova, Bela Akhmadullina and many, many others.

Application.

1. Clasped her hands under a dark veil...
“Why are you pale today?”
- Because I am tartly sad
Got him drunk.

How can I forget? He came out staggering
The painful mouth twisted...
I ran away without touching the railing,
I ran after him to the gate.

Gasping for breath, I shouted: “It’s a joke.
All that has gone before. If you leave, I’ll die.”
Smiled calmly and creepily
And he told me: “Don’t stand in the wind.”

2. I learned to live simply, wisely,
Look at the sky and pray to God,
And wander for a long time before evening
To tire out unnecessary anxiety.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
And the bunch of yellow-red rowan will fade,
I write funny poems
About life that is perishable, perishable and beautiful.

I'm coming back. Licks my palm
Fluffy cat, purrs sweetly,
And the fire burns bright
On the turret of the lake sawmill.

Only occasionally the silence cuts through
The cry of a stork flying onto the roof.
And if you knock on my door,
I don't think I'll even hear it.

3. You are my letter, dear, don’t crumple it,
Read it to the end, my friend.
I'm tired of being a stranger
To be a stranger on your way.
Don't look like that, don't frown angrily.
I am beloved, I am yours.
Not a shepherdess, not a queen
And I’m no longer a nun -
In this gray, everyday dress,
In worn out heels...
But, as before, a burning embrace,
The same fear in the huge eyes.
You are my letter, dear, don’t crumple it,
Don't cry about your cherished lies,
You have it in your poor knapsack
Place it at the very bottom.
1912 Tsarskoye Selo

4. Prayer.
Give me the bitter years of illness,
Choking, insomnia, fever,
Take away both the child and the friend,
And the mysterious gift of song -
So I pray at Your liturgy
After so many tedious days,
So that a cloud over dark Russia
Became a cloud in the glory of the rays

5. I
They took you away at dawn
I followed you, as if on a takeaway,
Children were crying in the dark room,
The goddess's candle floated.
There are cold icons on your lips,
Death sweat on the brow... Don't forget!
I will be like the Streltsy wives,
Howl under the Kremlin towers.
November. 1935. Moscow.

II.
The quiet Don flows quietly,
The yellow moon enters the house.
He walks in with his hat tilted.
Sees the yellow moon shadow.
This woman is sick
This woman is alone.
Husband in the grave, son in prison,
Pray for me.
1938

6. I’ve been screaming for seventeen months,
I call you home, I throw myself at the feet of the executioner,
You are my son and my horror.
Everything's messed up forever
And I can't make it out
Now, who is the beast, who is the man,
And how long will it be to wait for execution?
And only lush flowers,
And the censer ringing, and the traces
Somewhere to nowhere.
And he looks straight into my eyes
And it threatens with imminent death
A huge star.
1939

“I didn’t stop writing poetry. For me, they contain my connection with time, with the new life of my people. When I wrote them, I lived by the rhythms that sounded in the heroic history of my country.”

Presentation on the topic: “Biography of A.A Akhmatova” Completed by 9b grade student Galina Petrova

Anna Andreevna Akhmatova (surname at birth - Gorenko; June 11 (23), 1889, Odessa, Russian Empire) - one of the largest Russian poets of the 20th century, writer, literary critic, literary critic, translator.

She was born in the Bolshoi Fontan district of Odessa in the family of a hereditary nobleman, retired naval mechanical engineer A. A. Gorenko.

Her mother, Inna Erasmovna Strogova, was distantly related to Anna Bunina, considered the first Russian poetess.

In 1890 the family moved to Tsarskoe Selo. Here Akhmatova became a student at the Mariinsky Gymnasium, but spent every summer near Sevastopol, where she received the nickname “wild girl” for her courage and willfulness.

In Tsarskoe Selo in 1903 she met N.S. Gumilev and became a regular recipient of his poems. In 1905, after her parents’ divorce, she moved to Evpatoria. The last class took place at the Fundukleevskaya gymnasium in Kyiv, from which she graduated in 1907. In 1908-10 she studied at the law department of the Kyiv Higher Women's Courses. Then she attended N.P. Raev’s women’s historical and literary courses in St. Petersburg (early 1910s).

In the spring of 1910, after several refusals, Akhmatova agreed to become the wife of N.S. Gumilyov. From 1910 to 1916 she lived with him in Tsarskoe Selo. Their son Lev was born in September. In 1918, having divorced Gumilyov, Akhmatova married the Assyriologist and poet V.K. Shileiko.

Writing poetry from the age of 11, and publishing from the age of 18. Upon Gumilyov’s return from an African trip (March 1911), Akhmatova read to him everything he had written over the winter and for the first time received full approval for her literary experiments. From that time on, she became a professional writer. Her collection “Evening,” released a year later, gained very early success.

With the outbreak of World War I, Akhmatova sharply limited her public life. At this time she suffered from tuberculosis, a disease that did not let her go for a long time. Insightful criticism discerns in her collection “The White Flock” (1917) a growing “sense of personal life as a national, historical life” (B. M. Eikhenbaum).

The first post-revolutionary years in Akhmatova’s life were marked by hardships and complete separation from the literary environment, but in the fall of 1921, after the death of Blok and the execution of Gumilyov, she, having parted with Shileiko, returned to active work. In the same year, her two collections “Plantain” and “Anno Domini. MCMXXI” were published. In 1922, for a decade and a half, Akhmatova united her fate with art critic N. N. Punin.

In 1924, Akhmatova’s new poems were published for the last time before a many-year break, after which an unspoken ban was imposed on her name. In 1935, her son L. Gumilyov and Punin were arrested, but after Akhmatova’s written appeal to Stalin they were released. In 1937, the NKVD prepared materials to accuse her of counter-revolutionary activities. In 1938, Akhmatova’s son was arrested again. The experiences of these painful years, expressed in poetry, formed the cycle “Requiem,” which she did not dare to commit to paper for two decades. In 1939, after a half-interested remark from Stalin, publishing authorities offered Akhmatova a number of publications. Her collection “From Six Books” (1940) was published, which included, along with old poems that had passed strict censorship selection, new works that arose after many years of silence. Soon, however, the collection was subjected to ideological criticism and removed from libraries.

In the first months of the Great Patriotic War, Akhmatova wrote poster poems (later “Oath”, 1941, and “Courage”, 1942 became popularly known). By order of the authorities, she is evacuated from Leningrad before the first winter of the siege; she spends two and a half years in Tashkent. He writes a lot of poetry, working on “Poem without a Hero” (1940-65), a baroque-complicated epic about the St. Petersburg 1910s.

In 1945-46, Akhmatova incurred the wrath of Stalin, who learned about the visit of the English historian I. Berlin to her. A ban on publications arose again; an exception was made in 1950, when Akhmatova imitated loyal feelings in her poems written for Stalin's anniversary in a desperate attempt to soften the fate of her son, who was once again imprisoned.

On March 5, 1966, Akhmatova ended her days on earth. On March 10, after the funeral service in the St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral, her ashes were buried in the cemetery in the village of Komarovo near Leningrad. After her death, in 1987, during Perestroika, the tragic and religious cycle "Requiem", written in 1935 - 1943 (added 1957 - 1961), was published. With the death of Akhmatova, the Silver Age of Russian poetry ended.

Twenty first. Night. Monday. The outlines of the capital in the darkness. Some slacker wrote that there is love on earth. And out of laziness or boredom, everyone believed, and so they live: Waiting for dates, afraid of separation, And singing love songs. But to others the secret is revealed, And silence rests upon them... I stumbled upon this by accident And since then it’s been as if I’ve been sick.
