Octavo in printed brown stiff paper wraps; 71 p. In Russian. Rare, with just one holding in WorldCat || "Poltava (Russian: « ») is a narrative poem written by Aleksandr Pushkin in 1828-29 about the involvement of the Ukrainian Cossack hetman Ivan Mazepa in the 1709 Battle of Poltava between Sweden and Russia.[1] The poem intertwines a love plot between Mazepa and Maria with an account of Mazepa's betrayal of Tsar Peter I and Peter's victory in battle. Although often considered one of Pushkin's lesser works and critiqued as unabashedly imperialistic, a number of critics have praised the poem for its depth of characterization and its ability to synthesize disparate genres. The poem inspired Tchaikovsky's 1884 opera Mazeppa. âWikipedia. || Russian literature, Poetry.
