Pecherin (1910), Decembrist S.I. Krivtsov (1914), Griboedovo Moscow (1914), about Westerners and Slavophiles.

Articles about Pushkin occupy a special place in the creative heritage of Gershenzon. The personality of the great poet and his work are perceived by Mikhail Osipovich as the focus of the most important problems of the ratio of individual and universal. The principle of “slow reading” developed by Gershenzon allowed the researcher to reconstruct the course of Pushkin’s creative thought, and also revealed the poet in him, who gave deep answers to the most important issues of being.

the articles published in the present publication Gershenzona can rightfully be ranked to the Golden Fund of Russian Pushkinism.
