Line 23:
* [[All Just a Dream]]: ''The Undertaker''
* [[Anti
* [[Beard of Evil]]: Chernomor, [[Big Bad]] in ''Ruslan and Ludmila'' can be the Most Triumphant Example.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: ''The Bronze Horseman'' is perhaps the most egregious example, only being published in its intended complete form in the early 20th century. Most notably, Yevgeni's remonstrations against Peter were cut and the descriptor "idol" (in the sense of "false god") was replaced by "giant" in all 19th century editions.
Line 33:
* [[Dress Hits Floor]]: In ''Ruslan and Ludmila''.
* [[Driven to Madness]]: Protagonists in {{spoiler|''The Queen of Spades''}} and {{spoiler|''The Bronze Horseman''}}.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]]: Lampshaded and averted in ''Ruslan and Ludmila''.
* [[Duel to The Death]]: Dueling comes up in the story ''The Shot'' as well as ''Eugene Onegin'', among other works. As it turned out, Pushkin himself was killed in a duel.

* [[Spell My Name With a Blank]]: Old countess *** in ''The Queen of Spades''.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: ''Ruslan and Liudmila'' (of chivalric romances and narrative poems). ''Eugene Onegin'' (of the [[Byronic Hero]]).
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Lenskiy's poem in ''Eugene Onegin'' is a [[
* [[Too Many Halves]]: He epigrammatically describes one of his contemporaries as "half-milord, half-merchant, half-fool, half-ignoramus, half-scoundrel, but there's a hope he'll finally be full."
* [[Very Loosely Based
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Salieri in ''Mozart and Salieri'', Hermann in ''The Queen of Spades'', possibly Boris Godunov.
* [[Weird Al Effect]]: ''Ruslan and Ludmila'' contain large parts referencing to and parodying Vasiliy Zhukovsky's ballad "The Twelve Sleeping Maidens" (Zhukovsky, apparently, loved the parody). One guess which is better known today.
