Akhmatova citation

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

In a memoir I found a reference to an Akhmatova quote and I am trying
to track down the original.

It was said in the memoir that Lydia Chukhovskaia is said to have
quoted Akhmatova:  "Pridet moment, kogda vstretitsia 2 Rossii: odna,
kotoraia sidela, drugaia, kotoraia sazhala...."

Does anyone know the source for the Akhmatova?  Or at least for the
Chukhovskaia?

Thanks for any help.

- Ben
