"Alferov tea party" and Pushkin's Secret Journal

[mipco]

Noble Prise Winner in Physics Dr. Alferov has been arranging informal
tea parties in St. Petersburg to exchange views and opinions on most
important matters in science, technology, culture etc. These parties
are about twice a year and most prominent people are invited there.
The recent one was on December 23 in the House of Scientists in St.
Petersburg (ancient palace from tzars times). This tea party was
attended by famous scientists, businessmen, diplomats. Mr. Morris
Hughes, US council in St. Petersburg was there as well.
Among presentations on different subjects there was one made by a
"Russian Literature Boss" Dr. Nikolai Skatov, the member of Russian
Academy of Sciences, the Director of Pushkin's House. His
presentation was devoted to Pushkin's Secret Journal 1836-1837
published now in 23 countries. He was attempting to prove that it was
not written by Pushkin but it was a talented forgery made by American
publisher Mikhail Armalinsky.
Articles about this "Alferov tea party" have appeared in Izvestia,
Komsomolskaya Pravda and other major Russian periodicals.
It is very peculiar how much importance is justifiably given to the
Secret Journal in Russia.
