Victoria Zlobina, teacher of the Institute of Russian Language of the RCSC, introduced the participants of the Literary Evening, comprising Russian compatriots, teachers and students of Russian language, Indian poets, writers, critics to the works of Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Bella Akhmadulina.

“Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva and Akhmadulina are distinct poets and very different, but there are many inner similarities between them,” Zobina said. “They were just Russian poetesses and infinitely loved Russia. The creative work and fate of Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva reflected the complex path of the intelligentsia, which was supposed to be in revolutionary storms and global changes.”
