Samenvatting

A Tale of Two Cities: Kabul and Herat

In a time of relative peace and prosperity, there is a battle afoot to prevent the demolition of the historic centres of Kabul and Herat in the name of 'development'. Jolyon Leslie and Habib Noori report from the front lines of this much quieter struggle between heritage and modernisation.

Anna Akhmatova in Tashkent

Anna Akhmatova, one of the twentieth century's greatest poets, was persecuted by the Soviet authorities, yet renowned for her loyalty to her beloved Russia and its citizens. Sian Glaessner describes the poet's evacuation from Leningrad to Tashkent during World War II and the effect it had on her poetry, while Elaine Feinstein imagines a day in the life of the poet during her exile, when she lived in a small room on the top floor of the 'Hostel for Moscow Writers' at 7 Karl Marx Street.. Photographs by Max Penson.
