The poet Alexan der Pushkin (1799–1837), whom Russians consider their national “Shakespe ar,” received little attention outside of his country until Russia place d his name onto the banner of its genocidal war against Ukraine. Respond ing to Ukraine’s petition from February 27, 2022, to impose cultural san ctions on Russian Federation, PEN Center Germany association of writers famously declared that “The Enemy is Putin, not Pushkin” in its press re lease from March 6, 2022. The press release set in motion a powerful med ia campaign against “canceling” Pushkin, which many naïvely connect to P ushkinopad: the removal of Pushkin’s monuments in Ukraine in response to the Russian aggression.

Based on her 2022 pilot study of 107 Ukra inian respondents to the questionnaire about their attitudes to Pushkin between 2014 and 2022, Olena Zotova combines it with an overview of Ukra inian, Russian, and international media around the same period to argue that the campaign to “protect” Pushkin is part of Russia’s information w arfare against Ukraine and had been in the making ten years prior to the full-scale invasion. Miranda Fricker’s theory of epistemic injustice he lps Zotova explain the mechanisms that fuel said campaign to this day.
