Playwright Viktor Ardov's apartment was constantly visited by guests: here Anna Akhmatova met Marina Tsvetaeva, and it was here in 1956 that she first saw her son Lev, released after imprisonment .

Recently, a graffiti portrait of the poetess has appeared in the courtyard of this famous house. The street art artist was obviously inspired by the famous portrait of Anna Andreevna by Yuri Annenkov, which was painted in 1921.

There is no author's signature on the picture, but there is an opinion that this is the work of street artist SO2ART, made for the Akhmatov festival in 2013. Recently, quatrains of Akhmatova herself and dedicated to her, drawn, apparently, by different people, have begun to appear on the next wall.
