Listov, V. S. "Here the Eagle is Flying, Heavy and Scary": Speaking of one Historical Motive in Alexander Pushkin’s poem ‘Yezerskiy’

Abstract: The article is devoted to the verse XIII of the poem ‘Yezerskiy’. This verse is full of profound philosophy and meaning and, based on the author, has a concrete historical implication. The verse describes the events happened in 1815 when Napoleoe escaped from Elba Island and moved to Paris – evolution of Buonaparte’s ideas and his retaining his power and government. The verse also very well proves Pushkin’s tendency to ‘parody history and Shakespear’.


Keywords:

cultural studies, Alexander Pushkin, Napoleone Buonaparte, history of Russia, history of France, Hund red Days, memoirs, Jacobinism, proclamation, empire.
