For anyone studying Russian you know perfectly well that Pushkin is regarded as pretty much the next thing to God and rightfully so. Here's a great page that seems to have all of his collected works all in one place:

It is all in Russian but for those of you whose Russian is not good enough to read the original I encourage you to use a translation program like Babel Fish (it's free just type it in a search engine) and copy over little bits at a time for an English translation. Of course the translations aren't perfect but they at least give you a start and with a good grammar book by your side you can usually come pretty close to working out what it all means. I've been doing this with Evgeny Onegin. While it's a ton of work I can tell you it is a great feeling to look back on a passage in the original Russian and actually know what it all means. It also gives you an appreciation for how truly bad many translations really are!!
