Prisoner of Russia: Alexander Pushkin and the Political Uses of Nationalism

By Yuri Druzhnikov and Kilurifi Druzhnikov

Book Overview

In Prisoner of Russia, Yuri Druzhnikov analyzes the distortions and misrepresentations of Alexander Pushkin's cultural appropriation by focusing on Pushkin's attempts at emigration and his attitudes toward Russia and Western Europe. Druzhnikov's semi-biographical narrative concentrates on Pushkin's attempts to leave Russia after his graduation from the Lyceum, through his period of exile, until his early death in a duel in 1837.
