The Queen of Spades

A famous masterpiece by A. Pushkin—“The Queen of Spades”—remains relevant and in demand even today. Because gambling, greed, and the desire to reach one’s goals by any means are inextinguishable in human beings. The theme of the game, so brilliantly picked up and interpreted by F. Dostoevsky in his story “The Gambler,” was developed by Pushkin as a fateful inevitability. And the aphoristic phrase “Three, seven, ace” has become a symbol of fate that cannot be cheated.
