Akhmatova citation

[Timothy D. Sergay]

Dear Ben and Seelangers,

1956  4 марта. В канун роковой годовщины — смерти Сталина в 1953 году — в
присутствии Л. К. Чуковской произнесла историческую фразу: «Теперь
арестанты вернутся, и две России глянут друг другу в глаза: та, что сажала,
и та, которую посадили. Началась новая эпоха».
