While we are still feeling the wind off the steppe from our exploration of Stalinism (
The Unquiet Ghost: Russians Remember Stalin) it's natural that some of us have turned to the great Russian poets. Intrepid Reader Stevi suggests the very appropriate
"The Heirs of Stalin" by
Yevgeny Yevtushenko as companion to this book. I'll add that some of the references to Anna Akhmatova sent me off to browse poetry sites. I recommend "The Sentence" available at the
Favorite Poem Project site. More Akhmatova
here.
