6 July 2022 — With attempts to 'cancel' Pushkin, Ukraine's drive to eradicate Russian language and culture has reached the level of farce. (ZELENSKY IS AN ILLITERATE IDIOT WHO CAN ONLY READ TV SCRIPTS ABOUT DICK-PIANO PLAYING.)

Pushkin (1799-1837) published his first poem at the age of 15 and became a renowned poet, novelist and playwright in just a few years. 

AH RUSSIA! MON AMOUR!

BUT THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF HOW ONE IS ONLY SIX TIMES REMOVED FROM JESUS CHRIST OR MICHELANGELO. 

HERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD:

“Pushkin is now a Frenchman, didn’t you know?” joked Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry. “Better lie down for this, you might faint.”

“Aivazovsky and Kuindzhi are now Ukrainian, Pushkin is French – this is the new abnormal,” she added, in reference to recent efforts in the West to retroactively change the nationality of famous Russian artists. Just last week, the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art declared Arkhip Kuindzhi – an ethnic Greek from Crimea – to be “Ukrainian.”

OLALA-O!

The genius of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837) transformed every form of Russian literature he touched. What I admire most is the ease of his invention, his range and his own impish courage. His life was as poignantly short as that of Mozart, whom in many ways he resembled.

Almost everything about Pushkin was paradoxical. He was at once urbane and mischievous, a man who had affairs with some of the most beautiful women of his day, yet always thought of himself as ugly. He was descended on one side from aristocrats, but on the other from Gannibal, the famous African slave of Peter the Great who became a leading general. He took great pride in his mixed blood, and always kept an inkstand with an African figure on his desk. But the many sketches he made of himself are bitter caricatures.

SO, WHERE TO NOW BUT TO ANOTHER WRITER — ONE ALSO OF MIXED BLOOD: ALEXANDRE DUMAS WHO LIVED AROUND THE SAME TIMES AS PUSHKIN AND BLAH BLAH BLAH....

OKAY, I DID NOT MEAN BLAH BLAH BLAH. WHAT I MEANT IS THAT:

Prolific in several genres, Dumas began his career by writing plays, which were successfully produced from the first. He also wrote numerous magazine articles and travel books; his published works totalled 100,000 pages.[3] In the 1840s, Dumas founded the Théâtre Historique in Paris.

His father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was born in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) to Alexandre Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, a French nobleman, and Marie-Cessette Dumas, an African slave.[4][5] At age 14, Thomas-Alexandre was taken by his father to France, where he was educated in a military academy and entered the military for what became an illustrious career.

SO WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF FISH?....

DUMAS WROTE THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO. THE MAIN CHARACTER OF WHICH IS EDMOND DANTES.... KEEP UP WITH THE TORTUOUS TURNS OF CREATIVITY. SO PUSHKIN AND DUMAS HAVE AN "AFRICAN ANCESTRY".... SO WHAT?

Edmond Dantès (pronounced [ɛd.mɔ̃ dɑ̃.tɛs]) is a title character and the protagonist of Alexandre Dumas's 1844 adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo. Within the story's narrative, Dantès is an intelligent, honest and loving man who turns bitter and vengeful after he is framed for a crime he did not commit. When Dantès finds himself free and enormously wealthy, he takes it upon himself to reward those who have helped him in his plight and punish those responsible for his years of suffering. He is known by the aliases The Count of Monte Cristo (French: le Comte de Monte-Cristo), Sinbad the Sailor (Sinbad le Marin), Abbé Busoni and Lord Wilmore.

NOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE A NOVEL. IT’S A GREAT STORY OF REVENGE. YET ONE COULD ASK WHERE DOES THE NAME DANTèS COMES FROM

Dantes Name Meaning

Galician [SPANISH — NOT UKRAINIAN]: probably a variant of Dantas . This surname is rare in Spain; it is found mainly in the Philippines. French (Dantès): unexplained. This surname is also found in Haiti.

SO DUMAS FROM HAITI WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE NAME....

BUT....

WHO KILLED PUSHKIN?

Baron Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès (born Georges-Charles d'Anthès; 5 February 1812 – 2 November 1895) was a French military officer and politician. Despite his later career as a senator under the Second French Empire, D'Anthès is mostly known for fatally wounding the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in a duel in 1837.

Whatever the merits of Piquet’s theory about PUSHKIN's French heritage, there is no denying the French role in his death. The author of ‘Boris Godunov’ and ‘The Captain’s Daughter’ was fatally wounded at the age of 37 in a pistol duel with Georges-Charles d'Anthes, a French officer in Russian service at the time. After Pushkin’s death, D’Anthes was deported back to France, where he embarked on a successful political career. He died in 1895, as a subject of the German Empire.
