Pushkin, Vyazemsky, religion

[FRISON Philippe]

 Hello,

Here is, I think, the Russian original: 
С другой  стороны,  Пушкин  постоянно  и  настойчиво  указывал  мне  на
недостаточное мое знакомство с текстами  священного  писания  и  убедительно
настаивал на чтении книг Ветхого и Нового завета.

Dear all,

I have seen this remark of Vyazemsky¹s quoted in English, without a
reference:

ŒPushkin continually and stubbornly pointed the finger at me for my
insufficient knowledge of sacred writings and earnestly insisted on reading
the books of the Old and New Testaments.²

Can anyone give me a page reference?

I¹d also be grateful if anyone can point me towards anything authoritative
about Pushkin¹s religious beliefs (if any) during his last years.

Vsego dobrogo,

Robert
