Bella Akhmadulina is a poet who embellished the second half of the 20th century in Russia. Isabella, Bella, Belka, Bella Akhatovna... She lived a dramatic life, the last decade of which turned out to be tragic. For all the colossal experience of public speaking Akhmadulina was shy, shy. Once, glimpsed with Boris Pasternak in Peredelkina, Bella "from low vertigo" did not dare in response to the invitation to come to visit. However, a few years later became his own man in the house of Boris Leonidovich. Did not agree if called "sixties", despised self-serving, did not like jokes and was able to shorten anyone who behaved swagger. Her best friends were not those with whom she had taken stadiums when she was twenty-five, but Voynovich, Aksenov, Vladimov, and Okudzhava, who were not approved by the authorities. Akhmadulina's human rights petitions were characterized by elegance - here she especially appreciated the syllable. Letter in defense of Academician Sakharov "Voice of America" even called a poem. This book is a non-fictionalized biography of the poet. It is based not only on poetry and prose published in considerable circulation, but also on archival documents not known before (family history traced to the fourth tribe), letters found by Marina Zavada and Yuri Kulikov, diaries, unpublished poems, frank conversations with dozens of people from Bella's inner circle. At the core - the truth. In short, "The Color and Shadows of Bella Akhmadulina".
