Anna Gorenko (grandmother's surname poet took when they started to be published) was born in the suburbs of Odessa, her father Andrei Antonovich Gorenko was a naval officer, his mother devoted herself to the children in the family of six. When Anya was not yet a year, the family moved from Odessa to the North: in Pavlovsk, and then in Tsarskoye Selo, but every summer she spent on the Black sea. In 10 years, Anna was admitted to the Tsarskoye Selo school. And it was there, in Tsarskoe Selo, she met her future husband, Nikolai Gumilev, a meeting which forever left a mark in the lives of the great poetess.
I woman was exhausted...
Anna and Nicholas met on Christmas eve. Then 14-year-old Anna Gorenko was a slender girl with huge grey eyes, abruptly stood out against the background of pale complexion and straight black hair. Seeing her chiseled profile, ugly 17-year-old boy realized that henceforth and forever, this girl will become his Muse, his Beautiful Lady, for which he will live, write poetry, and do exploits.
At that time an ardent youth were certainly trying to emulate his idol Oscar Wilde. Bore the cylinder, curled hair and even lightly tinted lips. However, in order to complete the image of the tragic, mysterious, slightly nalamlieng character, Gumilev was missing a single detail. All of these heroes have been absorbed by the fatal passion, tormented by unrequited or forbidden love - in General, were extremely unhappy in his personal life. On the role of the beautiful but cruel mistress Anna Gorenko was ideally suited. Its unusual appearance attracted fans, also soon became clear that Anna does not nourish Nicholas reciprocal feelings.
Chilly reception did not diminish the ardour of a lover of the poet - here it is, the most fatal and unrequited love, which will bring him the coveted suffering! And Nicholas excitedly rushed to win the heart of his Lovely Ladies. However, Anna was in love with another. Vladimir Golenishchev-Kutuzov - tutor from St. Petersburg was the main character of her girlish dreams.
In 1906 Gumilev went to Paris. There he hopes to forget his fatal love and return to the way disappointed tragic character. But then Anna Gorenko suddenly realizes that she lacks the blind adoration of a young poet (parents Akhmatova learned about the love of a daughter in St. Petersburg tutor and away from sin separated Anya and Volodya). Courtship Nicholas so much flattered vanity Akhmatova that she was even going to marry him, despite the fact that still was in love with St. Petersburg tutor. Besides eternal talk about Gumilev fatal love were not in vain - now Akhmatova don't mind playing the role of a tragic figure. Soon she sends Gumilev letter with complaints about its irrelevance and marginalization.
Having received a letter from Anna Akhmatova, Gumilev, full of hope, returns from Paris, visiting Anna and make her another offer of marriage. But it's messed up... the dolphins. Then Akhmatova had a rest in Evpatoria. Walking with Gumilev on the beach and listening to the explanations in love, Anya stumbled upon two beached dolphins dead. It is unknown why this show is so heavily influenced her, but Gumilev received another refusal. And Akhmatova cynically explained lover Nicholas that her heart forever busy Golenischev-Kutuzov.
The rejected poet again went to Paris, believing that the only acceptable way out is suicide. The suicide attempt was furnished with peculiar Gumilev theatricality and pomposity. To reduce the suicide poet is sent to the resort town of Turville. Dirty water of the Seine seemed Gumilev inappropriate shelter for a tormented soul of the lover boys, but the sea - at the time, the more that Akhmatova had told him that loves to look at the waves of the sea. However, the tragedy was destined to turn into a farce. Vacationers took Gumilev for the tramp, called the police, and, instead of going on his last journey, Nicholas went to give explanations in the plot. Its failure Gumilev was viewed as a sign of fate and decided to try his luck in love again. Nicholas Akhmatova writes the letter, which again makes her an offer. And again rejected.
Then Gumilev again tries to commit suicide. This attempt was more theatrical than the previous one. Gumilev took poison and went to wait for death in the Bois de Boulogne. Where he was found unconscious vigilant Rangers.
At the end of 1908 Gumilev returned home. With dreams to win the heart of Akhmatova young poet never parted. But because he continues to besiege Anna, pledging her eternal love and propose marriage. Whether Akhmatova was touched by this almost dog-like devotion, whether Gumilev was knocked out of her consent stories about unsuccessful suicide attempts, whether the image of St. Petersburg tutor was somewhat dim, but somehow Anna gave his consent to the marriage.
Yes, I know, I'm not a couple, I came from another country...
None of the relatives of the groom didn't come to the wedding, the family Gumilev believed that this marriage will not last for long.
Marriage to Anna Gorenko never was a victory for Nikolai Gumilev. According to one friend of Akhmatova that period, she had her own difficult life of the heart, in which the husband was given more than a modest place. And for Gumilev was not easy to combine in the mind the image of a Beautiful Lady - the object of worship - with the image of a wife and mother. But because two years after his marriage, Gumilev gets serious romance. Light entrainment happened Gumilev before, but in 1912 Gumilev fell in love for real. Immediately after returning from Africa Gumilev visits the estate of his mother, where he was confronted with his niece, a young beauty Maria Kuzmina-Karavaeva. Feeling flashes quickly, and it remains unanswered. However, and this love is a touch of tragedy - Masha was terminally ill with tuberculosis, and was again included in the image hopelessly enamored.
Akhmatova had hard times - it has long been accustomed to the fact that is for Nicholas goddess, but because it's hard for her to be ousted from the pedestal and realize that the man is able to experience the same strong feelings for another woman. Health Masha quickly deteriorated, and soon after they began their romance with Gumilev Kuzmina-Karavaeva died. However, her death has not returned Akhmatova former adoration of her husband. And then Anna Andreevna decided on a desperate step and gives birth to Gumilev son Leo. The birth of a child Gumilev received a mixed reception. He immediately arranges a demonstration of independence and continues to twist novels on the side. Subsequently Akhmatova say, Nikolai Stepanovich was always blank. I can't imagine him married.
However, Akhmatova also behaves not as expected faithful to his wife. In 1914 Gumilev goes to the front, and Akhmatova tied a whirlwind romance with the poet Boris Anrep. And only the emigration of Anrep in England put an end to their relationship. However, Anrep was not only close Akhmatova.
When Gumilev finally returned to Russia after the war he spent some time in London and Paris), Akhmatova tells him a stunning piece of news: she loves another, and therefore they will have to leave forever. Despite the cool relations between the spouses, the divorce became Gumilev's a real blow - it turns out that he still loved his Beautiful Lady Anna Gorenko. However, Akhmatova adamant. She moved to well-known expert on Ancient Egypt Vladimir Shileiko - he was able to conquer the heart of the great poetess, while her husband was fighting on the fronts, winning awards for their bravery Gumilev was awarded two crosses of St. George). Son Leo Akhmatova leaves to live with his mother - poet poorly represented himself in the role of a caring mother.
Subsequently Akhmatova married three more times, but all of her marriages ended in divorce. Probably, the great poet was not suited to the role of wife. However, for all their husbands, and primarily for Gumilev, Akhmatova was the perfect widow. She denied him the living, the beloved but dead, shot by the Bolsheviks, she has remained faithful to the end. Kept his poems, fussed about their issue, helped enthusiasts to gather information for his biography, was dedicated their works to him.
