Pushkin's "Klevetnikam Rossii" (1831)

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Philippe,

I think that Semien Frank's article "Pushkin kak politicheskii  
myslitel'" published for the first time in Belgrade in 1937 gives a  
useful contextual setting for Pushkin's views on the Polish question.  
Frank links Pushkin's views on the Polish revolt to his vision of  
Russia and europe in the 1830s.  You could find the text of this  
article here:

You might be also interested to look at the book (in addition to Beth  
Holmgren's excellent reference)that contains memoirs of famous women  
aristocrats who wrote extensively about the Polish revolt: Bokova,  
V.M., editor. "Voina zhenskimi glazami: Russkaia i pol'skaia  
aristokratiia o pol'skom vosstanii 1830-31 godov", Moskva: Novoe  
literaturnoe obozrenie, 2005.


All best,
Alexandra
