POUCHKINE, Alexandre Serguéiévitch
??????? ?????? [Eugène Onéguine]. Saint-Pétersbourg, Tip. Departamenta Narodnago Prosvieschenia, 1825.

Long before then, the work, reflecting Pushkin's stay in Bessarabia, was wellknown in literary circles because of Lev Pushkin's habit of reciting his brother's verse in public and passing about manuscript copies. Pushkin repeatedly asked his brother to refrain from this; his fear of piece-by-piece pilfering of a new work necessitated publication before the poet felt ready.
