Mikhail Izrailevich Armalinsky (born Peltsman) (Russian: Михаил Израилевич Армалинский) born in Leningrad, USSR on April 23, 1947 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]
