Throughout the following years, the figurine was reproduced multiple times on different occasions: once in 1954, on her 65th birthday, as she was fully recognised and praised again following [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]]'s death, and again in 1965 as both a tribute to her being short-listed for the [[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Prize]] in 1965<ref name="Nobel1965" /> and for her 75th birthday a year earlier. This was the last time the porcelain figurine was produced during her lifetime. The figurine was so popular that it was reproduced after her death, once for what would have been her 85th birthday in 1974, and again for her 100th birthday in 1988, making it one of the most popular and widely available porcelain figurines in the [[Soviet Union|USSR]]. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1993, there was an immense surge in Akhmatova's popularity and her porcelain figurine was mass-produced yet again, this time in a plain grey dress with a yellow shawl. Her figure now stands in almost every post-Soviet home.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}} *Akhmatova appears prominently in [[Hélène Cixous]]'s play "Black Sail White Sail".
