FIRST EDITIONS except where mentioned. N.S. Gumilev was a founder of the Acemist movement in poetry and the great modern Russian poet Anna Akhmatova's first husband. Kerensky's Provisional Government appointed him special commissar in France. On his return to Russia in 1918, he served as head of the French literature department of Vsemirnaya Literatura [World Literature]. In 1921, the Cheka arrested him as a monarchist conspirator, and appeals from Gorky and others directly to Lenin could not save him. He was executed and his works were banned.
