Pochtovoi stantsii diktator

[jwr]

Dear colleagues,

As an epigraph for Stantsionnyi smotritel', Pushkin chose a couplet he identifies as from Viazemskii. It runs something like this:

"Kollezhskii registrator,
Pochtovoi stantsii diktator"

The commentaries to the PSS do not identify the source of this quotation, but perhaps someone here can?

Thanks!

Best wishes,

John
