A one-man play “Proud Enmity with the Sky”—perhaps the first attempt to present listeners with the true, unaltered image of the poet; the real, not commonly known sequence of events that led to the murder of the Russian genius.
Base slander, born out of personal hatred of the Tsar’s court, courtiers, and “high society”—for many years and decades instilled the most distorted idea in Russian readers about the poet’s thoughts, feelings, and actions.
After listening, you will love not only the great poet, but also the remarkable, profound, worthy of respect Russian man—Mikhail Lermontov.
