Bykov D. Chernaja rechka

Author	Bykov D.
Title	Chernaja rechka
Description	All Pushkin scholars agree that there was one secret love in Pushkin’s life — a feeling that remained unchanged from his early youth and was hidden from everyone. Well, we have found her. Along the way, we have also discovered why he was always fascinated by the fate of women who disguised themselves as men: cavalry maidens, Pope Joan… We have uncovered the hidden causes of the events of 1848, 1861 and 1917, found traces of the missing Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, and followed the fate of Griboyedov, whose play Cyrano de Bergerac is still mistakenly attributed to Rostand. This novel could have been called The Second Life of the Vazir-Mukhtar, but its actual title suits it better. For Pushkin himself is the dark African river of Russian destiny, connecting it with the ocean of world culture. And it is Pushkin whom we think of as the brightest opening in the black-and-red blot of Russian history. Or perhaps all of this is merely the hallucination of a mortally wounded man. And it remains unclear who received that fatal wound in February — Pushkin or all of us.
