Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966), one of twentieth-century Russia’s greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced.

The characters in Dostoevsky's The Devils tend to see the protagonist Stavrogin as a savior figure. But Anderson, a scholar/ librarian at Yale University, maintains that Stavrogin is in fact an antichrist figure--an individual who asserts his will at any cost and represents Dostoevsky's idea of a strong man pushed to its extreme.
