"1914: A Glimpse into a Transformative Year" In the midst of a world on the brink of change, 1914 brought forth an array of captivating moments that would shape history. Russian poet Anna Akhmatova's portrait, painted by N. I. Altman, captures her enigmatic spirit and profound words that would resonate for generations to come. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, J. C.
