МАРИНА МНИШЕК: ОБРАЗ ПОЛЬКИ В РУССКОЙ ПОЭЗИИ
MARINA MNISZEK — THE IMAGE OF POLISH WOMAN IN RUSSIAN POETRY

Summary/Abstract: Despite the constant feuds between Poland and Russia, Russian men have always appreciated the beauty of a Polish woman, and they are featured in Russian literature. Therefore, it is not surprising that Alexandr Pushkin turned his attention to a woman who played an ambiguous role in the history of Russia. This woman was Marina Mnishek. Besides the fact that she became one of the main characters of the drama Boris Godunov, for the great Russian poet she was a symbol of female beauty, which allows us to learn the letters of the poet. Marina Tsvetaeva was in love with the image of Marina Mniszek. However, she explained this by the fact that she turned out to be the namesake of a famous Polish woman, and even an admixture of Polish blood in her pedigree.
