Author comment:
To this day there are many ideas about who wrote the anonymous letter. There were many people who wanted their revenge against Pushkin. One was Idaliya Poletika, who was a rejected lover and several more were part of the tsar’s inner circle. Tsar Nicholas the first respected Pushkin.
