Really, BSD? Pushkin? dafuq?

Really, BSD? Pushkin? dafuq?

If it’s the final form of Alexander Pushkin I’ll never forgive it. You know, people in Russia can know nothing about Dostoevsky who is like really famous guy all over the world, but know many things about Pushkin. He was “the Sun of Russian poetry”. He was the creator of Russian literary language, founder of Russian literature. He wrote fairytales which we read as children. He wrote poems and novels which we read at school. All Russian poets and writers think about him as about a teacher. Yes, he was not ideal. He was hotheaded, emotional, “duel” was his second name (and thing that eventually killed him), but his name is the greatest in Russian literature. And manga-creator’s choosing of “A Feast in Time of Plague” shows that they know nothing about Pushkin, they just wanted something that sounds cool, nothing more.

P.S. Interesting fact: his great-grandfather was African guy named Gannibal (or Hannibal, as you like more). So character Pushkin could be used for interesting representation but who cares, yeah? We just need regular evil Russian bandits, because there are no good Russians in this world. Never were and never will be, so it’s not a big deal to take the greatest of Russian guys and make his face screaming “fat and evil”. I just hope they won’t take my favourite poet Alexander Blok and won’t do something similar to him.
