"As our Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin says it if I can quote what I memorized in an English translation, 'How smoothly, rapidly, and freely the sleigh glides in the moonlight when you are with a friend and when, warm and fresh beneath her sable fur, flushed and trembling, she squeezes your hand." "Lovely sweet talk but it won't help you. You know what I want to do?
"How beautiful that is!" cried Mrs. Epanchin, with sincere admiration. "Whose is it?" "Pushkin's, mama, of course! Don't disgrace us all by showing your ignorance," said Adelaida. "As soon as we reach home give it to me to read." "I don't think we have a copy of Pushkin in the house." "There are a couple of torn volumes somewhere; they have been lying about from time immemorial," added Alexandra.
This whole epilogue is a programme the programme of the self-conscious founder of Russian Realism.

The poet Pushkin first used it, and he used it in the customary way, like Lord Byron, or Goethe, praising the great men, although still alluding here and there to the true Russian ideal to the good and saintly man. But he spoke not in order to say a new, an original word to the world, but only to break the silence and to attract the attention of the world to Russia.
There were the conservative writers who felt contempt for the West, and for the new, and who believed Russia was as much better before Ivan III. than after, as Ivan the Great was superior to Peter the Great; and there were Pushkin and Gogol, and Koltsof and Turguenief, whom they hated, because their voice was the voice of the New Russia.
