I'd imagine in Russia you read Pushkin in first or second grade.

It's a common trait of Europe in XIX century: Pushkin in Russia, Adam Mickiewicz in Poland, Byron in England, Schiller/Goethe in Germany - they're all poets-heroes of the Romanticism Age - they all virtually determined their national cultures for decades.

Pushkin, the author of "The Queen of Spades" actually gave an initial idea of "Dead Souls" to Gogol.

You don't get to claim Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, and Solzhenitsyn just because the color of our skin has a similar shade.

Byron is better remembered in Russia than he is in the English-speaking world, perhaps because of the close affinity to Pushkin.

A Russian once told me that the funniest jokes were all attributed to Pushkin.

I was feeling the need for some fiction, so I picked up Vladimir Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin by Aleksandr Pushkin.

I confused it with the new translation of Pushkin's _Eugene_Onegin_, now by Stanley Mitchell (2008).

Yes, I'm a Russian, and Pushkin is indeed my "Byron connection".

This was a scene from the movie "Бакенбарды" ("Backenbardy", literary "sideburns") where Pushkin cultists encounter Lermontov fanboys.
