Maybe this will have the opposite effect and encourage the youth to read Pushkin like the kids read Lady Chatterly's Lover when I was in high school.
That's what I was thinking. Usually the banning or censoring of anything pushes the sales far beyond what they would have been without the ban.
I can't remember anything overly erotic about the Pushkin I read in college, but the poetry did include long passages of unrequited love, gloom, doom, and misery of a broken heart. Maybe if they really wanted to read something erotic into it....after all, those Russian winters were brutally frigid....
