Pushkin in Copenhagen

Post Skriprum

But what about the very “Kapnist’s Notebook”? Rumor said that after the revolution it turned up in Japan and, probably, was lost there in the big japaneese earthquake of 1923. So if you ever go to Japan, try to find a trace of the lost manuscript of the great Russian poet, because our life can turn into a fairy tale, if we really want it.
