Abstracts:
Preparing for a trip to the places of the Pugachev uprising, A.S. Pushkin met I. A. Krylov and wrote down the memories of his childhood years spent in the Orenburg region. However, the demonstrative pronoun used by Pushkin in the phrase “victim of this game” made it difficult to understand the phrase, and, consequently, the meaning of the last microplot in this fragment. The article reconstructs the meaning put by Pushkin into this turn of the phrase: “this” means not “this”, but “that, the same, similar”. With this interpretation, it becomes clear that the events described below with the participation of D. Mertvago took place not in Yaitsky gorodok, but in Alatyr, which he told about in the memoirs “Pugachevshchina” (1857), published not during the lifetime of neither Krylov nor Pushkin. The author also makes the assumption that the information about the Alatyr game could have been included in the fragment “Testimony of Krylov (the poet)” not from the words of Krylov, but were added there by Pushkin himself, who was also very likely familiar with D.B. Mertvago and could have heard this story directly from him.
