This thesis examines Pushkin's historiographical methodology and conclusions and eonsiders Pushkin's writings from the viewpoint of the historian rather than the literary eritic. It offers a chronological study ofthe four fictional and non-fictional works in which Pushkin analysed major figures and events in Russian history and traces the importance he attributed to them for the development ofthe Russian national consciousness. The themes ofrehellion against the state and politicallegitimacy predominate in this investigation and shed light on how Pushkin's study ofhistory reinforced and, in sorne instances altere~ his own fundamental political and social beliefs. • iii • RÉSUMÉ Alexandre Pouchkine a consacré les cinq dernières années de sa vie à faire des recherches dans les archives impériales de Saint-Pétersbourg et à publier plusieurs ouvrages consacrés à des personnages historiques comme Pierre le Gran<L Catherine Il la Grande, Boris Godounov et les chefs rebelles Mazeppa et Pougatchev. Cette thèse est centrée sur la méthodologie historiogaphique et les conclusions de Pouchkine et examine son oeuvre du point de vue de l'historien plutôt que de celui du critique littéraire. Elle propose une étude chronologique des quatre oeuvres fictives et non fictives dans lesquelles Pouchkine analyse les personnages et événements principaux de l1tistoire russe et pennet de dégager l'importance qu'il leur attribue dans l'épanouissement de la conscience nationale russe. Les thèmes de la rébellion contre l'État et de la légitimité politique prédominent dans cette enquête et illustrent comment l'étude que Pouchkine a faite de l'histoire a conforté et parfois altéré ses convictions politiques et sociales les plus fondamentales. • iv • Table ofContents Abstract ii Résumé III Table ofContents IV Chronology V Chapter 1: Introduction 8 Chapter 2: Boris Godunov 45 Chapter 3: Poltava 66 Chapter 4: A History ofPugachev and The Captain 's J)aughler 96 Conclusion 128 Bibliography 133 • v • CHRONOLOGY OF THE LIFE OF ALEXANDER PUSHKIN 1799 Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin born in Moscow. 1802 Suicide ofRadishchev) author ofJourney/rom Petersburg 10 Moscow.

They have posited a number ofalternative scenarios to account for the alleged reversai in Pushkin's thought in the late 1820's and 1830's. Without a doubt, censorship affected the content of Pushkin's literary efforts and public utterances; moreover, Tsar Nicholas l's 1826 decision to act as Pushkin's personal censor served to impose more rather than fewer restrictions on the poet's freedom to criticize government and society. 1 Shortly thereafter, Pushkin embarked on the serious study ofRussian history~ by the early 1830's, the ideas he derived from this research began to coalesce with his earlier thoughts into a well- integrated political stance.2 Pushkin's historiographical methodology, throughout his writings, was marked sjgnificantly by the influence ofthe authors he had read at the lycée. Voltaire and Karamzin remained important sources ofinspiration even though Pushkin had, at one point, accused the latter oftoadying and showing his readers l William Mills Todd, "Institutions ofLiterature in Early-Nineteenth Century Russia: Boundaries and Transgressions," in Gary Saul Morson, ed., Literature and History; Theoretical Problems and Russian Case Studies, (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1986), 82. 2 Sam Driver, "Pushkin and Politics: The Later Works," Slavic and East • European Journal, 25.3 (1981), 2. 10 • "the necessity ofdespotism and the pleasures ofthe knout."3 After 1825, however, this youthful hyperbolism tended to diminish.

HUBER AND M. ARMALINSKIY TATIANA SHEMETOVA M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0003-3342-8508 ABSTRACT This article is devoted to the description of the two mythologemes of Pushkin myth (PM). According to the first, the great Russian poet secretly loved one woman all his life and dedicated many unattributed poems to her. This is the mythologeme of Pushkin’s hidden love. The other side of the myth is based on the “Ushakova’s Album” (her personal notebook for her friends’ poetries), in which the poet joked down the names of all his beloveds (Don Juan List). On the basis of this document, the literary critic P. Guber and the “publisher” of Pushkin’s Secret Notes, M. Armalinsky, make ambiguous conclusions and give a new life to Pushkin myth in the 20-21st centuries. KEYWORDS: the myth of Pushkin, hidden love, Russian literature of the twentieth century, “Don Juan of Pushkin,” Pushkin’s Secret Notes, P. Guber, M. Armalinsky. INTRODUCTION: THE STATE OF THE QUESTION The application of the concept “Pushkin myth” (PM) is very diverse, which sometimes leads to an unreasonable expansion of the meaning of the term. Like any myth (ancient or modern), the PM is a plot that develops from episodes- mythologemes. In this article we will review two mythologemes of the PM: “monogamous Pushkin” and “Pushkin – Don Juan (i.

Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

This thesis is the first extensive study devoted to the generic originality of Iurii Tynianov’s representation of Pushkin in his two historical novels, Pushkin (1935-1943) and the abandoned The Gannibals (1932). Chapter 1 contextualises Tynianov’s contribution to the current debates on the novel’s demise, ‘large’ form and the worthy protagonist. The conditions giving rise to contemporary interest in the genres of biography and the historical novel are deliniated and the critical issues surrounding these are examined; Tynianov’s concern to secularise the rigid monolith of an all but sanctified ‘state-sponsored Pushkin’ and the difficulties of the task are also reviewed. Chapter 2 shifts the examination of Pushkin as a historical novel to its study within the generic framework of the Bildungs, Erziehungs and Künstlerromane with their particular problematics which allowed Tynianov to grapple with a cluster of moral, philosophical and educational issues, and to explore the formative influences on the protagonist’s identity as a poet.

  • “Neither Dead Nor Alive:” Ukrainian Language on the Brink of Romanticism, EWJUS, Vol. 4, No. 2, 2017
    “Neither Dead Nor Alive:” Ukrainian Language on the Brink of Romanticism Taras Koznarsky University of Toronto Abstract: At the end of the eighteenth century through the first decades of nineteenth century, as the last vestiges of Ukrainian autonomy were abolished, Ukrainian elites and intelligentsia embarked on a diverse range of projects (addressing geography, history, ethnography, travel writing, journalism, and literature) aimed at privileging and promoting their cultural capital within the Russian imperial field of cultural production. The Ukrainian language and its origins, nature, and status came to the fore in these projects as Ukrainian literati carefully gauged their messages for both Ukrainian and metropolitan audiences in order to engage playfully and polemically with imperial perceptions of Ukraine and to further the cause of the Ukrainian language as a distinctive linguistic system, cultural legacy, and literary medium. These often cautious and purposefully ambiguous characterizations, classifications, and applications prepared the ground for the romantic generation of writers who dramatically expanded the stylistic and generic range of Ukrainian in their literary works and translations, and forcefully argued for the language’s autonomy, dignity, and expressive potential. While early romantic Ukrainian writings were seen as colourful linguistic and ethnographic regional variants useful for the development of Russian imperial and national culture, the growth of Ukrainian literature alarmed both Russian critics and administrators, who began to see in these developments not only unproductive and anachronistic vexations, but also a culturally and ideologically subversive agenda that had to be discouraged. By surveying and examining diverse classifications and discussions of the Ukrainian language by Ukrainian and Russian literati, the article questions the limits of so-called “Ukrainophilia” in Russian imperial culture of the early nineteenth century.
