Shot
Breter's and the catch story "Shot" was valued by Alexander Pushkin's contemporaries far above all the other "Belkin's Stories" Ambiguous, a controversial figure of Silvio, obsessed with revenge, at a time when the slightest quarrel grew into a duel, found a lively response in the minds and hearts of the reader. Pushkin created an incredibly lively image. It is impossible to determine whether Silvio is good or bad. He's just alive, real, and in him, as in any of us, the good and the bad get along side by side.
