Pushkin's "The Stationmaster" contains a daring biblical parody no one noticed before. Minsky fakes illness from Thursday to Sunday—mirroring Christ's crucifixion and resurrection on the third day. The paper shows this travesty extends to details: vinegar-soaked cloth, mock crown, silent suffering. Pushkin deliberately subverts the gospel narrative for comic effect.
