The new era has posed old questions head-on—and rejected the old answers. No allowances have been made for Pushkin. Was he an imperialist? A militarist? If so, how can we love him? Was the government able to tame him, and he to influence it? Is it true that he wanted to emigrate? The convention about 'our everything' must be revisited once a generation, no less often and no less frequently. A hundred years ago, Pushkin was already being thrown overboard from the ship of modernity. Now, in the era of new emigration, cancel culture, and the bloody trail of Russian history, the time has come to talk about many things.
