Summary/Abstract: Short A.S. Pushkin's story Kirdzhali (1834) is not so popular, but one of the most intriguing his prose works in 1830s. With the image of the protagonist, Georgy Kirdzhali, who is historical person, great Russian poet is the father of Bulgarian theme in Russian literature in general. But literary value of the work is on poetical and hermeneutic perspective, as far as Pushkin is interested in the philosophy of love-of-freedom as the instinct of self-preservation and role model.
