lyrics

It's hard to say anything about Pushkin to someone who doesn't know anything about him.

Pushkin is a great poet. Not even Napoleon is as great as Pushkin.

And Bismarck? Nothing compared to Pushkin. Even the Alexanders, I, II and III, are simply bubbles in comparison with Pushkin.

Really, all people in comparison with Pushkin are just worthless bubbles...

only when compared with Gogol is Pushkin a bubble himself.

So, instead of writing about Pushkin, I guess I should write to you about Gogol.

Although Gogol is so great that you can't write anything about him! So I will write about Pushkin after all.

But in a post-Gogol world, writing about Pushkin is somehow... offensive.

And you can't simply write about Gogol.

So it's probably better if I don't write anything about anyone.
