Why Did Pushkin Cry? by Alexander Latsis (1914–1999) is a provocative study that challenges conventional views on the life and work of Russia’s greatest poet, Alexander Pushkin. A member of the “neo-Pushkinist” circle, Latsis is known for advancing some of the most paradoxical hypotheses in Pushkin scholarship. He was the first to publicly suggest a possible kinship between Pushkin and Leon Trotsky, argued against the attribution of the popular fairy tale The Little Humpbacked Horse to Pyotr Yershov, and promoted the theory that Pushkin’s fatal duel with Georges d’Anthès was actually a disguised suicide.
In this book, Latsis aims to reconstruct what he sees as the true image of Pushkin—a figure he believes has remained hidden behind multiple layers of myth and official interpretation. The author explores obscure or “dark” passages in Pushkin’s most famous works and attempts to reveal previously overlooked aspects of his personality. The narrative is presented in an engaging style, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of the poet’s fate and legacy. This edition offers a fresh perspective on Pushkin, though readers should note that many of Latsis’s claims are speculative and not supported by mainstream scholarship. Price: 1533.00 RUR.
