In Anna Akhmatova's seminal work "Poem Without a Hero," she reflects on significant contemporaries like Blok, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky, Gumilyov, and Kuzmin, as well as her friend, actress Olga Glebova-Sudeikina, who serves as a sort of alter ego. The poem delves into the responsibility of the Silver Age and her own role regarding the tumultuous events of the twentieth century in Russia. The true hero of the piece is the city of St. Petersburg, a backdrop for the unfolding narrative.
