Akhmatovskie zerkala - Demidova Alla

Outstanding actress Alla Demidova, who repeatedly performed the works of Anna Akhmatova from the stage, once decided to explore the secret writing of one of the most mysterious works of Russian literature - "Poems without a hero." It encrypts names and events, not knowing about which, the reader is unlikely to be able to penetrate into the depth of the text and understand its true meaning.
What people hide behind the fictional names of the characters, what their relationship is, how the events are connected with the true historical phenomena - to these questions A. Demidova gives his answer. The actress admits that she "sifted through herself" letters, poems, diary entries, memoir prose of the poet, memories of his contemporaries. And this work, which gave a rich material for reflection, resulted in the book "Akhmat's Mirrors."
