But they are alive forever in the treasury of people's memory. Analysis of Akhmatova’s poem “Five years have passed - and the wounds have healed...”

The beginning of the Great Patriotic War I met Akhmatova in Leningrad, but doctors insisted that the then 52-year-old poetess leave her beloved city. This was followed by a series of moves - from Northern capital to Moscow, then to Chistopol, from there Anna Andreevna went through Kazan to Tashkent. She returned to the city on the Neva at the first opportunity - at the end of May 1944. During the Great Patriotic War, the poetess did not stop writing. Her poems are imbued with sincere patriotic pathos and intense pain for those who died in the battles for freedom; they contain calls to fight against the Nazi invaders. Among the most famous works are “The Oath” (1941), “Courage” (1942), “To the Winners” (1944).

the release of his son, Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov, from prison. Anna Andreevna was very ashamed of the works included in the cycle. Most likely, it was not just Stalin. Akhmatova, who wrote to order, wrote poorly and falsely. As Lidia Korneevna Chukovskaya correctly noted, any artisan could have coped with the task better.

The poem “Five years have passed, and the wounds have healed...” talks about a country gradually restoring life after the devastating Great Patriotic War. Life is picking up speed again - a peaceful tractor has taken the place of the tank; where once there was a fire, now the garden is fragrant; Cars drive freely along the formerly rutted road; the mother, whose heart ached from separation during the war, sings, rocking the cradle. It is stupid to deny Akhmatova’s genius, but it is also stupid to deny the falsehood that permeates the text in question. It is enough at least that some of the vocabulary chosen for the work is alien to Anna Andreevna. In particular, we are talking about the above-mentioned tractors and flying light cars. At the same time, there are a couple of truly wonderful lines in the poem:
...And Russian glades
Again full of icy silence.
Such a subtle observation - it turns out that the clearings, lost among the trees, cannot be called empty, because they are filled with icy silence - a sign of a brilliant poet, which Akhmatova was.

Anna Andreevna Akhmatova

Five years have passed, and the wounds have healed,
Cruel inflicted by war,
My country
and Russian glades

And lighthouses through the darkness of the seaside night,
Showing the way to the sailor, they burn.
On their fire, as in friendly eyes,
Sailors are looking far from the sea.

Where the tank thundered, there is now a peaceful tractor,
Where the fire howled, the garden smells fragrant,
And along the once dug path
Cars fly lightly.

Where is the oil for crippled hands?
They called for vengeance - the spruce is turning green,
And where the heart ached from separation,—
There the mother sings, rocking the cradle.

You have become powerful and free again,
My country!
But alive forever
In the treasury of people's memory
War-ravaged years.

For the peaceful life of younger generations,
From the Caspian Sea to polar ice,
Like monuments of scorched villages,
Masses of new cities are rising.

Among the most famous works are “” (1941), “” (1942), “To the Winners” (1944).

Anna Andreevna returned to the theme of the war even after its completion. For example, in the poem “Five years have passed, and the wounds have healed...”, written in May 1950. The text is part of the “Glory to the World” cycle, in which Akhmatova praised Stalin. Naturally, there is not an ounce of sincerity in him. The poetess had to write odes to the leader of the peoples in order to free her son, Lev Nikolaevich Gumilyov, from prison. Anna Andreevna was very ashamed of the works included in the cycle. Most likely, it was not just Stalin. Akhmatova, who wrote to order, wrote poorly and falsely. As Lidia Korneevna Chukovskaya correctly noted, any artisan could have coped with the task better.
