Pushkin. A Book About Everything

The new era has brought old questions to the forefront and rejected previous answers. No discounts were given to Pushkin. Is he an imperialist? A militarist? If so, how can we love him? Has power managed to tame him, and has he influenced it? Is it true that he wanted to emigrate? The convention regarding 'our everything' is important to revisit once a generation, neither less nor more frequently. A hundred years ago, Pushkin was already being cast off from the ship of modernity. Now, in the era of a new emigration, the culture of cancellation, and the bloody trails of Russian history, the time has come to discuss many things. Philologist, publicist, educator Alexander Arkhangelsky* is a professional interlocutor. 'Pushkin. A Book About Everything' is neither a biography nor a textbook. It is a conversation. About Pushkin. And about everything.
