“The sun of Russian poetry” and European literature: to the 225th anniversary of the birth of A.S. Pushkin

The study examines the influence of the classics of European literature (W. Shakespeare, J.G. Byron, E.T.A. Hoffmann) on the work of A.S. Pushkin. It is shown that the Russian classic does not simply borrows motifs and images of world literature, but “embeds” them into the Russian cultural context, enriches them with national coloring and characteristic features of domestic culture. A.S. Pushkin establishes a dialogue between Russian and European literature, turns the “foreign” word into his own one, makes Russian literature a part of the world cultural heritage.
