The Gabrieliad
The ''Gabrieliad'' ((ロシア語:Гавриилиада), ''Gavriiliada'') is a sexually explicit, blasphemous work widely believed to have been written by Alexander Pushkin, one of the major Russian poets, in April 1821, while he was in his student years. Although during his life he denied his authorship in court under oath, due to a sensitive nature of material it is believed he was lying and didn't want to admit authorship to avoid prosecution.
==Synopsis==
The ''Gavriiliada'' is a satiric description of the beginning of the New Testament, primarily making fun of virgin birth and God's ineptness. In Pushkin's narrative, Mary, the mother of Jesus, a young and attractive Jewish girl, is married to an old and impotent carpenter who has taken her as wife only to keep house. God chooses her to be the mother of Jesus and sends Archangel Gabriel to announce the good news. Satan learns about God's plan and arrives first in the form of a snake to seduce and deflower Mary (and keep his influence over the soul of man?). Gabriel arrives a bit too late to save her from Satan but manages to drive him off with an illegal punch (ему в то место роковое (Излишнее почти во всяком бое), В надменный член, которым бес грешил ). Then he quickly has his way with Mary, who had already seen him in a vision and was impatiently waiting for him. The next morning, God in the form of a dove flies into Mary's bedroom and has intercourse with her (still in the form of a dove), thus thinking He has conceived Jesus. Mary is left to marvel at all this sudden attention ("Вот шалости какие! Один, два, три! – как это им не лень?") and readers are left uncertain just who it is who has fathered the Son of Man.
Although the story is highly blasphemous and satirical, it is not blatantly pornographic and is written in a fine high-spirited style. Illegal copies of the text circulated in Russian society for a hundred years until it finally saw the dark of print at the beginning of the 20th century.
