Olenin, president of the Academy of Arts, director of the Public Library, the poem “Ballade” for the theatrical charade on Olenina’s birthday. During the period of Pushkin A. A. Olenina’s hobbies and his matchmaking, E. Olenin was sharply opposed the alleged marriage, in part because of the political reputation of the poet. Conservative and deeply religious, E.
