Pushkin Square in Moscow, named for Alexander Pushkin, is located on the Boulevard Ring at the junction of Tverskaya.
At the center of the square is a famous statue of Pushkin, the metal man on the pedestal. In 1950Stalin had the statue moved to the other side of ul. Gor'kogo (Tverskaya).
Not that I was a specialist in Russian or a student of Pushkin.
There, on PushkinSquare, after about five hours around the statue of the poet, my relation to Russia was permanently established.
Such animation and vitality (in a toothless peasant of her age) as she periodically switched the rather full sack from hand to hand (the stone being damp from the light falling rain) I simply, again, could not believe what I was seeing.
