From the Paper:

"From the very beginning of his poem, Pushkin apparently wishes to demonstrate to the reader that his poem is about a real event and a real subject, why this is so important remains unclear. Pushkin "cites his sources," much as a college student today is required to list his or her own consulted sources on a "Works Cited" page. The poem "The Bronze Horseman" is about a real event, a flood that occurred in St. Petersburg. It is also about a real statue located in St. Petersburg but Pushkin does not make any claims about the real nature of the statue, only about the reality of the flood."
