Anna Akhmatova Quote

Stars of death stood over us,
and innocent Russia squirmed
under the bloody boots,
under the wheels of black Marias.


Requiem (1935–40)


Stars of death stood over us, and innocent Russia squirmed under the bloody boots, under the wheels of black Marias.

Stars of death stood over us, and innocent Russia squirmed under the bloody boots, under the wheels of black Marias.

Stars of death stood over us, and innocent Russia squirmed under the bloody boots, under the wheels of black Marias.

Stars of death stood over us, and innocent Russia squirmed under the bloody boots, under the wheels of black Marias.
