Pushkin comes to shove
Sir: Deborah Ross may not have heard of Bodrov’s Prisoner of the Mountains (Arts, 7 June) but she should not try to implicate the rest of us in her ignorance. It is a version of one of Pushkin’s most famous poems which was also rendered as a short story by Tolstoy. John Milne
