Mikhail Izrailevich Armalinsky (né Peltsman; Russian: Михаил Израилевич Армалинский; born in Leningrad, Soviet Union) is a Russian poet, writer, blogger, and publisher of erotica. He caused scandal and outrage within Russian literary circles, following publication in 1986 of a pornographically toned diary, ostensibly by Alexander Pushkin. This led to him being described as "The Pushkin pornographer".[1]
