Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev... "was a major Silver Age poet and a victim of Bolshevik repression. Gumilev, his first wife, Anna Akhmatova, and Osip Mandelstam were the fore-most representatives of acmeism, a movement emphasizing concrete personal experience that arose in response to the dominant symbolist school of poetry during the 1910s. ...Gumilev was arrested by the Bolsheviks in August 1921 for his alleged part in an anti-Soviet plot. Although the charges were almost certainly fabricated, Gumilev and sixty others were executed within weeks, over the protest of many writers...[and his] work was banned in the Soviet Union from 1923 until 1986," (Encyclopedia of Russian History).
