Abstract

An American academic named Allan Taylor travels to 1968 Leningrad to meet wit Lev Gumilyov, the only son of dissident Soviet poet Anna Akhmatova. This encounter leads to an opening of Lev's memories of his mother, his own imprisonment in Stalinist Russia, and the ambiguous legacy of Akhmatova's great protest poem, Requiem. The action moves between 1968 and 1938, and between Allan's adoration of Akhmatova and Lev's bitterness about his difficult past.
