“Cancel Putin, Not Pushkin” Magnet
Created exclusively for the Metropolitan Opera, this black magnet features the statement “Cancel Putin, Not Pushkin.” Inspired by the Met’s production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, which is based on Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin’s iconic verse novel and which re-imagines the Byronic romantic anti-hero as the definitive bored Russian aristocrat caught between convention and ennui.
Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era. He is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature.

History
Peter Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin
Tchaikovsky’s most successful opera is based on Alexander Pushkin’s verse novel of the same name, one of the central masterpieces of Russian literature. Subtitled “Lyrical Scenes” by the composer, Eugene Onegin had its premiere in 1879 in Moscow, performed by students of the conservatory. The first full professional production was seen at the Bolshoi Theater two years later. The Met’s 2013–14 season opens with a new staging of Eugene Onegin directed by Deborah Warner and conducted by Valery Gergiev.
