Pushkin is a great writer, and an interesting fellow. His great grandfather was an African slave, who was given to the Ottoman Sultan, and in turn to Peter the Great. He ended up a Russian nobleman and a general. Read Queen of Spades.

I remember having to read Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin in college. It wasn’t bad. Although, I have to admit, I found Nikolai Gogol’s “The Nose” much more amusing.

Navalny is as obvious a CIA asset as they come.
Of course the BBC is also a Deep State asset so they don’t tell you that.

I hope Nalvalny has a food taster. I see a generous application of dioxin in his future dinners.

I've been told that Pushkin probably spoke French about as well as he spoke Russian -- maybe even a little better. Too bad he didn't also contribute to French literature.
