Anna Akhmatova : To the Muse

Updated: 02 Oct 2014

A short and old recording. Read by Anna Akhmatova Year of Recording : c. 1963-1965 Lyrics : When, in the night, I wait for her, impatient, Life seems to me, as hanging by a thread. What just means liberty, or youth, or approbation, When compared with the gentle piper's tread? And she came in, threw out the mantle's edges, Declined to me with a sincere heed. I say to her, "Did you dictate the Pages Of Hell to Dante?" She answers, "Yes, I did."

Interview | Militiaman "Ninja" about storming of Donetsk Airport | English Subtitles

Duration: 6:48
Updated: 25 Nov 2014

http://www.youtube.com/user/2014AntiMaidan http://www.krsk.aif.ru/society/1359887 Donetsk, October 18th 2014 Ninja (call sign) from a cavalry battalion, Militia of Donetsk Republic, tells about the storm of Donetsk aiport on September 25th. Unsuccessful storm resulted in large number of casualties. One of the killed militiamen was Arseny Lazarev (call sign Arafat), a volunteer from Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. A 25 years old guy, not a military by profession, who has been living last couple of years in Brazil and Argentina and had all his life in front of him. Romantic fellow and big fan of poetry of Anna Akhmatova and Jozeph Brodsky. When Arseny heard about what's happening in Donbass, spoke to people who fled from the bombed cities, his mind was made up. When mother was trying to convince her only son not to go, Arseny's reply was: "Mom, I just can't stay home when things like that are happening". 18 октября 2014 Боец с позывным "Ниндзя", разведывательный батальон ВСН, рассказывает о штурме донецкого аэропорта 25 сентября 2014. В тот трагический день, при выполнении боевой задачи, погибли многие ополченцы... Среди погибших был и Арсений Лазарев, 25-летний доброволец из Красноярска. For those who are fed up with mass media.
