The chronicle of the life and work of Anna Akhmatova lays a reliable foundation for the biography of one of the largest Russian poets of the 20th century. The Annals contain all the facts of the creative and personal life of A. A. Akhmatovo, amenable to accurate or at least approximate dating. All information is provided with links to printed and archival sources. The second edition of the Chronicle is significantly supplemented compared to its first edition (M., 1996-2003. PART I-IV). The annotated index of names contains information about the persons with whom A. A. Akhmatova maintained literary and personal relationships. The book is intended both for specialists - literary scholars and historians, and for a wide range of readers interested in Russian culture of the 20th century.
