This article explores how Alexander Pushkin, the father of modern Russian literature, conceptualizes national identity and historical memory in key literary works. The study investigates Pushkin’s treatment of Russian historical events and figures, his myth-making around imperial power, and the construction of collective identity through narrative poetry and drama. Through close readings of The Bronze Horseman, Boris Godunov, Poltava, and select historical poems, this article shows how Pushkin intertwines personal, political, and poetic dimensions to shape an enduring vision of Russianness rooted in both admiration and ambivalence toward authority, fate, and national destiny.
