	"Poetic Artistry and Political Ambiguity: Pushkin and Blok Remain Objective and Balanced" by John Kennedy
		Pushkin's fame came at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as Russia moved politically into the modern era and poetically into the Romantic era.
		During Pushkin's lifetime in the early nineteenth century, Russia's major socio-political debate was between the conservative "Slavophiles" and the liberal "Westernizers." The Slavophiles believed that Russia should develop her own culture, her own institutions, and her own place in the world.
		Likewise, Pushkin's description of the statue of Peter, the bronze "idol with its arm outflung" (15) is a testament to the Westernizer philosophy since, to Westernizers, Peter is an incomparable hero, an idol to be worshipped.

		Pushkin's father was a descendant of one of the Russian gentry's oldest families who traced their history 600 years back, while his mother was the grand-daughter of Ibrahim Petrovich Gannibal, a slave from Abyssinia (Ethiopia) who was sent as a gift from Constaninople and became the adopted godchild and Engineer-General of Peter the Great.

		Pushkin is known as a poet (his novel "Eugen Onegin", written in verses, is the crown of his art), not as a dramatist or a novelist.
		Pushkin's prose was certainly heavily influenced by the literary world in which he lived--especially in Dubrovskii and The Captain's Daughter we constantly see the influence of the then-very-popular Lord Byron and Walter Scott.
		However, Pushkin seems to be aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary literary fashion, and the fact that he doesn't take it too seriously and strikes out on his own fairly often is surely a big part of the reason he has proven to be vastly more enduring than the likes of Scott.

		His involvement in the Greek campaign was secret by virtue of its being the obverse and denial of his Nabokovian persona, and not because it resembled the sinister secret lives led by the Decembrists, for example, who went in for a different species of political conspiracy in the Babylon of Alexandrine Russia.
