 "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.
