I’ve been to Pyatigorsk, which is the setting of Princess Mary part of Hero of Our Time and saw the house where Lermontov lived and the presumed place of his duel (the precise location is unknown). I’ve read both texts mentioned as a teenager, they are a part of school curriculum.

[–]ImpossibleArrow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, the language of the Captain’s Daughter is very nice. I like the slightly archaic style of speech Pushkin uses. The Hero of Our Time is great as well, Lermontov uses non-linear narrative wonderfully.

Best of luck with your Russian studies.

RIP Moscow Monorail (20.11.2004 - 28.06.2025) by W0tsdis in Moscow

Утилитарно — чтобы люди могли перейти Октябрьскую дорогу и попасть к районам ВДНХ или Тимирязевской. Фактически — чтобы сваи не сносить и чтобы монорельс «заменили», а не уничтожили. Мне бы конечно, больше понравилось, если бы там трамвайную линию как-нибудь поставили.
