MOSCOW, December 26 (RIA Novosti) - A monument to the Russian poet Marina Tsvetayeva was unveiled in the Russian capital on Wednesday.

The monument, made from bronze, is located in front of a museum dedicated to the poet. The unveiling of the sculpture was dedicated to the 115th anniversary of her birth.

"Muscovites learned and continue to learn from Tsvetayeva to love Moscow, the city she regarded as her native city," Deputy Mayor Lyudmila Shvetsova said at the unveiling ceremony.

Marina Tsvetayeva, born in 1892, was one of the brightest stars of the Russian 20th-century Silver Age poets. Passionate, yet exquisite in form, Tsvetayeva's poetry reflects the 20th century Russian national tragedy, which she shared in full.

The first years after the 1917 Bolshevik revolution plunged the poet into extreme poverty. She emigrated in 1922 but followed her son and husband back to the Soviet Union in 1939. Her husband was arrested the same year and later executed, and her daughter spent 16 years in a Stalin-era labor camp.

Tsvetayeva committed suicide in 1941 in Tatarstan.

"We were actually ready to unveil the monument today, but we received the message from government about changed plans related to the date of opening", explained Krasovskaya. According to her words, the reason why the monument has not been opened yet was that mayor of Moscow, who was going to open it, could not attend this event.
