Writers

(This is a company of Pushkin, Mayakovsky, Lermontov, Yesenin and Gogol.)

February 1837. *

• It was an ordinary winter day. Several writers had gathered in a house outside the city. Someone had created a time machine and gathered all the main legendary figures of Russian poetry. At first, none of them understood where they were or what was happening, but then they got used to it. It turned out that the year was 1837. Those writers who lived after that time knew that at some point Pushkin would duel with Dantes, so they didn't want to let the poet die. Everyone was doing whatever they wanted:

Yesenin had already had a drink. Where he got the alcohol from is unknown.

Mayakovsky and Gogol didn't know how to react to each other at all. They seemed similar, but somehow their communication didn't work out right away.

Lermontov and Pushkin were laughing off to the side about all this. They stood at a distance from the other couple, laughing like crazy. Pushkin, after all, had already had a drink with Yesenin, so he wasn't exactly in his right mind.
