Acemeism was not in accordance with the Communist rule (Dybka). During Stalin"s rule, Akhmatova"s son and ex-husband were arrested; her husband was later executed (Dybka). In hopes of getting her son out of prison, Akhmatova wrote gratifying poems about Joseph Stalin (Dybka). Her effort did not help her son (Dybka).

             The relationships Tsvetaeva shared with significant others were not customary. As well as her marriage to Sergei Efron, Tsvetaeva had at least one extramarital affair with Sophia Parnok, another esteemed writer (Is Tsvetaeva a "Lesbian Poet"). Her homosexual relationship with Parnok earned her the nickname "Lesbian Poet" (Is Tsv.). However, Tsvetaeva was not strictly a lesbian, she was bisexual (Is Tsv.). .

             On the other hand, Akhmatova had extramarital affairs, but they were only with men. Despite her success as a poet, her first husband, Nikolai Gumilev, became very jealous of her success and they had both been unfaithful (Dybka). As a result their, marriage fell apart (Dybka). Tsvetaeva married Vol"demar Shileiko following her divorce from Gumilev (Dybka). Like his predecessor, Shileiko was also jealous of his wife"s success (Dybka). This marriage did not last either (Dybka).

             Initially welcomed by Russian writers and readers living in emigration,.

             She now faced exasperated editors of the ever-fewer emigre journals.

             who judged her new poetry incomprehensible and therefore unpublishable (Marina Tsvetaeva"s Biography).

             Many critics did not like Tsvetaeva"s work at all, namely, Maxim Gorky. He wrote to Pasternak in 1927, ".It is difficult for me to agree with you in your high evaluation of Marina Tsvetaeva"s talent. Her gift seems to me shrill, even hysterical. She is not a master of language. Language is her master" (Descriptions by Tsvetaeva by those who knew her). Now, her popularity in Russian has increased in recent years (Marina Tsvetaeva"s Biography).
