The work of Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) has given me the opportunity to see the effort that people go through to endure and resist evil, especially taking into account the context which was 20th century Stalinist Russia. Discussing Akhmatova’s work has allowed me to understand the reasoning behind her work and the dangers she went through to share her struggles to the world. The discussion of Akhmatova’s background and family life allowed me to understand the reasoning behind her work. After learning about her previous status of nobility, I understood how she had the ability to write such elegant poetry during a time where much of the Russian population was poor and illiterate. Learning about the death of two of her husbands, Nikolay Gumilev
Maryusha Antonovksy was no more. In her place stood Mary Antin, the same immigrant Jewish girl but with a new “American” name. Mary had also bought “real American machine-made garments” to replace her “hateful” homemade European-style clothes. “I long to forget,” she said. “It is painful to be conscious of two worlds.”
The Great Terror was one of the single greatest loss of lives in the history of the world. It was a crusade of political tyranny in the Soviet Union that transpired during the late 1930’s. The Terrors implicated a wide spread cleansing of the Communist Party and government officials, control of peasants and the Red Army headship, extensive police over watch, suspicion of saboteurs, counter-revolutionaries, and illogical slayings. Opportunely, some good did come from the terrors nonetheless. Two of those goods being Sofia Petrovna and Requiem. Both works allow history to peer back into the Stalin Era and bear witness to the travesties that came with it. Through the use of fictional story telling and thematic devises Sofia Petrovna and Requiem, respectively, paint a grim yet descriptive picture in a very efficient manner.

Both poems by Wislawa symborska and anna akhmatova retell the story in the Bible where Sodom is being destroyed and Lot is to lead some people out. His wife follows him unwillingly. Wislawa Szymborska and Anna Akhmatova have written two diverse poems from different perspective as well on the story of Lot’s wife. The main idea in William Symborska is that Lot’s wife was judged unfairly when her reason for turning was unknown. She lists several reasons and takes the voice of Lot’s wife.
Popular descriptions of Alexei Karenin label him as a cold and passionless government official who doesn’t care about his wife or family. Indeed, he is viewed as the awful husband who is holding Anna hostage in a loveless marriage. However, this is a highly exaggerated description, if not completely false, analysis of Karenin. Upon careful analysis of Karenin’s character and his actions, it is clear that he is not the person Anna makes him out to be. In fact, with thorough examination of the passage on pages 384 and 385 of Anna Karenina, it is clear that Alexei Karenin can be considered the hidden tragic hero of the novel.
I am writing in support of the M.S. in Biology program application of Elizaveta Shmakova. It is a pleasure to write on behalf of Elizaveta and to recommend her highly. She plans to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree with majors in biology in May 2018. I came to know Elizaveta when I was her professor for Cellular and Molecular Biology (BIOL 4340) during fall semester 2018. During the course Elizaveta was able to learn cellular processes at the molecular level, including the determination of cell fate and differentiation, growth regulation of cell, Cell adhesion and movement, and intracellular trafficking. She finished the class with A-. I support Elizaveta's application for admission without reservation. Her academic work for me has
