Here they sent me a note from NG for 2001. Cool, although not very competent in terms of entomology.

(and the words "hammer a bolt" in the newspaper were somewhat surprising... or am I behind the times?)

VORONTSOV THROWS ALL THE ASIAN LOCUSTS AT PUSHKIN

About how the poet "flew out of the service because of locusts" and how "mosquitoes and flies" pestered him in St. Petersburg

I've already read about this topic somewhere... Rather, Pushkin was sent against locusts-to the title. And an unappreciative review - after all, he was entrusted with an important state business associated with colossal losses, and at that time any efficient person could solve various issues, even if he was not directly prepared... And our great half-breed trailed after the Kalmyks there, smelled in languor, and so on... in short, dynamite.... unconscious psychotype, liked things dusty....
