Elena Opidovich draws attention to the fact that the “Pushkin Readings” take place in Mogilev not by chance. The poet visited this city twice. For the first time in 1820 on the way from St. Petersburg to exile in Chisinau. After – four years later, when he returned to the village of Mikhailovskoye. Local residents immediately drew attention to the poet: he walked around the city in a Russian shirt and boots, an officer’s overcoat on his shoulders and a yarmulke on his head. Such clothes were then considered exotic, unusual for nobility, which local nobles tried to imitate. Pushkin loved Mogilev, especially the architecture. He argued that the Orthodox churches here do not resemble similar structures in the central part of Russia.
