Russian journalist and TV host Vladimir Pozner said that he does not consider Pushkin by the Russian writer, writes RIA Novosti.
“Yes, he felt perfectly and described the Russian man, but for me the unbreaks of Pushkin – it was in the joyful light that radiates his skill, in the positive of some kind of Russian author – the northern, gloomy – not very inherent.” He wrote on the site Pozner Online.
At the same time, the journalist clarified that Alexander Sergeevich himself considered himself Russian. According to him, in Pushkin as if there is a “vaccination from the eternal Russian longing.” For comparison, he led to an example of another domestic poet.
“Here Lermontov is also great, but not light,” said Pozner.
he added that he would take an interview with Pushkin if he had such an opportunity. Posner suggested that the conversation with the poet would be difficult, because Alexander Sergeyevich was “a complex, sometimes very evil.” However, on the other hand, it would be a “sparkling conversation”, confident TV presenter.
“What he was smart, as he understood everything,” concluded a journalist.
