Abstract:

The report examines some features of the functioning of the «school of readers» of Anna Akhmatova’s poetry: the tendency to intersect social and aesthetic demarcation lines, a constant idea of obligation to imitate Akhmatova’s poetry, the functioning of quotations from her poems as memes and the tendency to evolve them into a new narration in verses.
Keywords: «school of readers», the cult of the poet, imitation in literature, popular expressions.
