How A Russian Poet Predicted The Future (Marina Tsvetaeva)

After Osip Mandelstam, Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) is Russia's greatest poet, and critic Alex Sheremet's favorite Russian writer. At odds with Soviet authorities, her return to Moscow in 1939 was deemed suspicious, and she was unable to find consistent work. She eventually took her own life in 1941, two years after the execution of her husband, and during her exile in Yelabuga.
