Name of poem about leaving Russia by Anna Akhmatova?

Question by Sky: Name of poem by Anna Akhmatova. About leaving Russia?
Hi,

I am looking for the name of a poem by Anna Akhmatova. I can’t give very good detail but it is generally about people deserting Russia and Anna’s anger at them.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

I believe it was Plantain. Although Akhmatova’s love of country coupled with her sadness at the failures of Communism and its treatment of her beloved family and friends were prevalent throughout her life.

A voice came to me. It called out comfortingly,
It said, “Come here,
Leave your deaf and sinful land,
Leave Russia forever.
I will wash the blood from your hands. . .

I covered my ears with my hands
So that my sorrowing spirit
Would not be stained by those shameful words
