Volkov et al and -ACKNOWLEDGMENT

[Jules Levin]

Regarding  Edward M Dumanis' defense of acknowledgements,
I've often wondered about the connection between Pushkin's
"voron k voronu letit..."
and the Scots ballad "Twa Corbies..."
The latter certainly seems like the inspiration for the former...
Or does Pushkin acknowledge this and I'm just ignorant...?
