-       He was a Jewish?

-       Yes, these guys during revolution and civil war hardly succeeded. A new power was needed in competent professionals. And peasants in majority were illiterate. Jewish, although they lived in Jewish inhibited lands, hardly studied literacy and that why they were demanded by new power. And their leader Trotsky contributed for them. The army, punitive organs, government, cultural institutions, educational system – they were everywhere. Gradually, in society formed an opinion, that they were in demand because of their especial talent and cleverness. They even put a slogan “Let us discard Pushkin from a ship of modernity!”

-       What was the reason that my poems had not pleased them?

-       What was the reason? They thought, that they were the main suffering community in Russia, and revolution was done particularly for their freedom. This idea was inspired in whole society by their leaders. That why the word «Jewish» or «Zhid» were qualified abusive. For these words they could shot. But, what are in you texts? – «To me has knocked a despicable Jewish» - this is yours «Black scarf»; «But you, zhid soul, I will hang you on the gates», and this is – «Stingy knight»; «I look, and in the ugly game the Zhid and frog have wedding» - this is «Hussar». At revolutionary time all this was accepted as demonstration of antisemitism.

-       And who are these antisemits?

-       If briefly, then officially from encyclopedia these are those who don’t like Jewish, and indeed these are those whom Jewish don’t like – such a pun occurs.

-       But Semits are Arabs. I can’t understand what do Jewish have to do in this case?

-       This still nobody can understand. But, to the end of civil war in 1922 the Bolsheviks together with trotskists finally gathered crashing Russia and called it – Soviet Union. New government had left in 1918 Petersburg and quickly move in Moscow. In 1924 the head of new government, Lenin, died. To his occupation was claimed Trotsky, but bolsheviks had preferred Stalin instead of him, whom had become a new leader of bolsheviks. He expelled Trotsky out of country and held cleansing in army and in government from Trotsky’s followers – not completely. After World War II in 1953 trotskists performed coup d’etat, killed Stalin and opened the way for liberals to the power. The coup was sluggish, it endured 40 years, and in 1991 liberals together with trotskists destroyed Soviet Union, national “elites” of Russia suburbs hastily started creating their own independent states, which people never had before statehood. Russia transformed to Russian Federation, it’s population decreased until less than population of Russia Empire before First World War.

-       And how big was the population of Empire at the beginning of XX century?

-       Almost hundred million more than our days.

-       And today at the beginning of XXI century?

-       Little bit less – about 150 million.

-       And Romanov’s did not try to return the power in Russia?

-       Now days we have everything: liberals, trotskists, bolsheviks and even monarchists. They want as in Great Britain restore distant relatives of Romanov’s into Russia and sit them to the neck of people. But, unlikely, the people will agree to that: we have enough parasite and without them.

-       Thus, I was right, when I gave to Romanov’s about 300 years of ruling of Russia? – said stared dreamily the guest from past.

-       But this the animator could not know. About this know only me and Pushkin, if of course, this is not my fantasy. Then what does it mean? – in front of me is really Pushkin? – thought Gray-headed man.

-       And why only 300 years?

-       By analogy to Ptolemy’s in Egypt. Their dynasty existed three centuries.

-       And what is the essence of analogy?

-       After a collapse of Empire of Alexander the Great, Ptolemy Soter took to his own rule Egypt and decided to establish Ptolemy’s dynasty. But in ancient Egypt the pharaoh dynasties practiced an incest - sexual relations between family members. Ptolemy suggested for his sons and daughters to get married. The oldest son, it seems Keraunos, had rejected this offer, and younger son had accepted and left in history with name Phyladelphus, which means in Greek language – the one who loves his sister. His sister Arsinoe at the beginning declined such idea and run away from Egypt to Thrace to Lysimachus, whom was one of the supporters of Alexander the Great. However, after his death, in the beginning she married to her paternal half-brother Keraunos, the king of Macedonia, but then after Keraunos killed her small children from Lysimachus, she run away to Alexandria to her brother and became his wife. Although Egyptians acknowledged Ptolemy’s as dynasty of pharaohs, but like noblemen in Russia, Greeks did not know and understand the language of their partials. During Alexander and his brother Nikolay in Empire, among noblemen in Russia the French language was in vogue. Even in my family we usually spoke in French language. And in Russian I indeed began to speak in the village Zaharovo, where I was sent to grandmother – Maria Alekseevna. And which language is in vogue among those who are ruling Russia at present?

-       After World War I, revolution and civil war in vogue was German language. But after World War II till nowadays is English.

-       With whom did Russians fight in XX century?

-       With Germans.

-       Does it mean that Russia should fight with British?

-       No, sly Saxons, unlikely, will decide to war with Russia. But Americans – these can courage somebody to such a war.

-       Is it possible that this will Germans?

-       No, Germans now are not warriors, they were given a good lesson in 1945. In addition, they pay contribution almost 70 years to Israel.

-       And what kind of state is this?

-       In your time, the word “Israel” has some ambiguity. From one side, it is a self-name of Jewish diaspora. And from another side it is an expression of Russian Orthodox Church claiming itself as “New Israel”. Naturally, many people ask the question: “ How is possible pay contribution to those who are dispersed throughout the lands?”

-       Yes, the issue of dispersed Jewish very interested me, and I even left to researches of my literature works one case, which they did not notice. It is interesting, are their descendants more curious?

-       If you are meaning the poems devoted to Cleopatra, then yes, they have payed attention.

-       For what exactly they have payed attention? If it is not a secret.

-       It is not a secret. In the poems, which were written in 1823, there are such words “And first is Archelaus, a brave kleverlet of Pompey”, but eleven years later in “Egypt’s nights” you have replaced Pompey by Flavius, “And first is Flavius a brave warrior”. If you don’t know the history of Ancient Rome, you will not be able to notice this replacement. But those who interested in chronology of important historical events of Ancient Rome, those know, that almost one and half century separates the epoch of Pompey governing from dynasty of Flavius. But then raises a question: Did Pushkin occasionally mixed the epochs of ruling of Pompey and Flavius?
