NOTES ABOUT PUSHKIN
I. One of Eugene Onegin's sources Reading the monuments of Russian and foreign literature, every now and then you come across more and more new sources of Pushkin. I will give two examples, the comparison of which clearly shows the range of interests of the poet. Dona Anna says: "poor widow, I remember everything about my loss, I mix my tears with a smile, like April."

In the Son of the Fatherland for 1813, anonymous Letters were published from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod (reprinted in R. Arch. 1876. III. 129-154) 2 . They are dedicated to the hackneyed theme of "Frenchomania". But the author interprets it in his own way. Rejecting the French language, denying its significance as a model for Russian, the author, however, opposes the French language not Slavic, as such, on the model of which Russian should be formed, but the languages of classical antiquity: "None of the latest literature has been improved... from ...
