Samenvatting	This is the first English translation of a work which caused a scandal in Russia when it originally appeared. Sinyavksy wrote "Strolls with Pushkin" while he was imprisoned for his writings in a Soviet labour camp, smuggled it out in letters to his wife, and published it in emigration in 1975. 14 years later, the first excerpt was published in Russia. Many scholars in the West regard it as the most brilliant critical work on Pushkin ever to have been written; however, in Russia it has been violently attacked for its irreverent portrait of Pushkin, who is the Russian national poet possessing a status approximating that of a religious icon.

He claims that Pushkin's lightness is often emptiness, his brilliance is often posing, and his universality is merely an acknowledgement of the pleasures of everyday life. This is all counter to the received Russian notion of Pushkin as a divinely inspired universal genius who interpreted the "great soul of Mother Russia". The book itself can be read as an inspired monologue about the nature of greatness in art and artists, and it is sure to become a classic of Russian literature and Russian literary criticism.
