Pushkin and national self-awareness: new episode of the "Russia Speaks" podcast with Yevgeny Zharinov
06.06.2025

The National Centre RUSSIA presents a new episode of the original educational podcast "Russia Speaks," timed to coincide with Russian Language Day and the anniversary of the birth of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The special guest of the episode is literary scholar, writer, and professor at the Department of Theory and History of Art of the Institute of Fine Arts at Moscow Pedagogical State University, Yevgeny Zharinov.

The sixth episode of the project explores key "Pushkinian" themes — from an in-depth analysis of the role of Eugene Onegin in shaping national self-awareness to a philosophical reflection on the famous phrase "Pushkin is our everything."

In a lively discussion with the host Anzhelika Kiryan, Yevgeny Zharinov spoke about lesser-known episodes from the poet’s biography, including his relationship with the imperial court. The literary scholar shared his personal views on the future of Russian literature in the context of modern cultural challenges. Special attention in the podcast is given to the impact of Pushkin’s legacy on Russian identity in the digital age.

The podcast is available on the website russia.ru, as well as on VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, and on Dzen.
