that was much less than flattering. As a result, Mandelstam was exiled to Cherdyn, which is east of Kazan and Samarra, somewhere near Perm. He attempted to kill himself, and was sent to Voronezh, near Ukraine. He was arrested for counterrevolutionary activities in the spring of 1938. After confessing to writing "counter-revolutionary" poetry, he was sent to the Gulag Archipelago. He died there, presumably of fatigue and malnutrition. His body was thrown into a mass grave.
