Notes	The poem addresses the then Soviet Ambassador to Ireland Gennadi Uranov (1987-1991) through the voice of a poet-speaker who is apprehensive about Russia's future and the twentieth century as it ends. References to the traumatic legacy of Soviet history, imprisonment, and suffering are caught up in the final stanza through the figures of W.B.Yeats and Anna Akhmatova. The title of the collection What the Earth Cost Us is a quote by Osip Mandelstam.
