Pushkin? You Think?


It all started about a year ago at Susan Katz’s home in St. Petersburg. After dinner and a few drinks, two of her guests thought I looked like Alexander Pushkin, the greatest Russian poet and founder of modern Russian literature. At first, I thought nothing of it but throughout the trip- in Nizhny Novgorod, and Moscow - more and more people thought I looked like him. Today, as I enter the university where we are working, one of the guards said something that ended in “Pushkin”. I turned to look. He nodded and smiled.

I should be using this to my advantage.
