My sister was going on a trip to Europe and planned to stop by a couple of Russian bookstores. I made a few requests one of which was a collection of Marina Tsvetaeva’s poetry. What I got was a collection of Anna Akhmatova’s poetry. That was two years ago, and we still argue about who made the mistake. Haha. And I still have not read the copy of Бег Времени she brought back for me, so maybe I’ll dip in and out as your videos come out. I’m trying to work on my Russian too. My comprehension is decent, but I get frustrated with my reading speed especially when I compare it to my reading in English. I just started reading Maxim Gorky’s collection of autobiographical works (My Childhood, etc). Cool project. Good luck!

I love her poetry! Sadly I haven’t been able to find a good edition of her complete poems. Do you have any recommendations?
