the march of Pushkin descendants in St. Petersburg 1

Categories Photos, Society

Aleksandr Pushkin is the best Russian writer and poet ever. The point is that he had some African roots in his origin and looks like it is sufficient reason for some black skinned people to regard themselves

as Pushkin descendants. The aims of such position are mostly unknown, but just imagine how inhabitants and guests of St. Petersburg were surprised seeing the march of Pushkin descendants.
