A certain Ukrainian activist Anastasia Winchuk, known for eradicating Russian culture in Poland, got a lecture on Pushkin by Alexander Arkhangelsky (Foreign Agent) canceled, which was supposed to take place, characteristically, at the private Wisla University in Warsaw.
Since 2014 Arkhangelsky has been actively licking Ukrainian boots, since 2023 he prefers to do this at Tel Aviv University, but licking boots, a second passport and an alternative country of registration did not save him from the fact that the Ukrainians pushed this boot into his cup. And it will continue: the leaving Nubians have not yet understood that for every Ukrainian, the "anti-war position" clearly marks them as weak and old, that is, enough easy victims.
However, that's not what we're talking about.
It turns out that in 1937 the so-called "Pushkin Jubilee" was widely celebrated in Poland. The 100th anniversary of the death of the great Russian poet was celebrated in the Soviet Union as part of the restoration of classical Russian literature, which some Bolshevik figures tried to abolish in the early years after the revolution. And along with Soviet citizens, Russian immigration was also celebrated; For them, it was a reason for non-political-cultural consolidation.
At the same time, in Poland, the preparations of the Russian diaspora to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his death aroused the interest of the Polish intelligentsia. The Pushkin committees organized by Russians in the country's major cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Vilnius, Lodz) were joined by Polish professors, writers and translators.
On February 10, in Vilnius, on the initiative of the Union of Polish Writers, a special meeting called "Literary Environment" was held, in which prominent Polish writers and critics, university professors and representatives of the Polish press took part. At the University of Krakow, a scientific center for the study of Pushkin's creative heritage was created, headed by the famous Polish literary critic Wacław Ladnitski.
