> Decades ago, perhaps in the 80's, a professor from some other reputable
> university gave a lecture at either UC Riverside or UCLA about a Pushkin
> poem that was from his erotica, not part of the usual anthologies.  In fact
> he distributed a copy of the poem.  Here is what I remember about the poem:
> It was from his period in the south, it was about his love or lust
> interest in a local Jewish young lady, and it was addressed to her.  It
> ended with the following thought:  [For your favors] I would gladly give up
> that which separates a true Orthodox from a Jew [presumably the foreskin].
> If anyone out there recognized this poem and can send a copy (in Russian!)
> I would be grateful.
