"Not exactly a sudden emergence, he was already somewhat famous before, the author of 'Dikanka Night Talk', very appreciated by Crown Prince's Tutor Rukovski, and he has a very good relationship with Pushkin, considered a promising talent unanimously favored in the literary circle."
"A promising talent?" Tsar Nicholas I flipped to the next page: "His writing is quite interesting, 'The History of Little Russia', this is certainly an obscure research direction, but it has a lot of potential for further exploration. Which department does he work in?"
"He used to work in the Lands Department, and now he's a lecturer at the women's college." Count Benkendorf added some details as the Tsar showed interest: "His 'The History of Little Russia' is indeed written with great skill, not only attracting the attention of our Minister of Education and Crown Prince's Tutor, but also some international friends."
