 Yuri Druzhnikov - Pushkin Intends to Go Abroad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
One summer evening in 1817 in St. Petersburg, Nikolay Gnedich, the eminent Russian poet and future translator of Homer's Iliad, introduced two poets to each other during an intermission at the theater.
The other poet was a young man accompanying Gnedich, who introduced him to Katenin: “You know him by his talent--this is the Lyceum's Pushkin.” In reality, Pushkin had already achieved tenth-class rank--collegiate secretary--and had been taken onto the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Gnedich was her elocution instructor, while Katenin and Pushkin were both pursuing her, not suspecting their rivalry.

 F&P Gnedich, Nikolay I.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
F&P Gnedich, Nikolay I. If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly in hand before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
