- Abstract
- This article looks into specific “Balkan-Serbian” custom to offer some sweets and cold water before a meal (so-called “posluzenje”), which seems to be reflected in the third chapter of “Eugene Onegin”. In the course of our investigation (studying commentaries to the text, as well as anthropology) no record of such a tradition within the Russian culture has been found. The author of this article believes that Pushkin's inclusion of the ceremony passage into the novel is informed by his visit to Odessa and his passionate feelings for Amalija Riznich, the wife of a rich and hospitable Serbian merchant.
