Russian media response to Alexander Pushkin's Secret Journal 1836-37,
published by Mikhail Armalinsky in the United States in 1986 and by
now published in twenty three countries, is the carefully studied
subject of David Bayevsky's Parapushkinistika.
The book, using published reviews and other materials, examines the
unorthodox image of Pushkin and the extraordinary events of his life
that traditional "pushkinistika" is unable to accept or understand.
Bayevsky's work contains many Russian language reviews of Pushkin's
Secret Journal from 1987 to 2002. These reviews have appeared in most
major and local periodicals, Radio and TV.

Yeltsin read the Secret Journal; academicians D. Likhachev and I.
Kon; Director of Russian Literature Institute (Pushkin's House) N.
Skatov talked about it; prominent Russian literary critics V.
Toporov, E. Peremishlev, B.. Filevsky, V. Kuritsin, M. Zolotonosov,
A. Levkin wrote about it. Fictional works are created about it.

This compilation exposes a panorama of the foolishness of the Russian
literary establishments use of Pushkin as a universal idol to be
blindly worshipped on a national level. Parapushkinistika is
enjoyable reading as a satirical story, and also serious reading as
literary research and study.
