The calendar page for June 6, 1986 is dedicated to Russian literature and the cultural geography of Moscow through the figure of Tatiana Larina, the heroine of Alexander Pushkin’s novel in verse Eugene Onegin.
The front side features an illustration titled “Tatiana at the Window,” created by artist K. Rudakov for Pushkin’s famous literary work. The drawing presents the heroine in a quiet interior scene that reflects the introspective and emotional atmosphere associated with Tatiana’s character.
