Mikhail Gasparov on Russian "Pale Fire":

"NEMEZIDA "Blednyi ogon'" v per. Very Nabokovoi, stikhi perevedeny
nerifmovannym raznostopnym iambom, kak Nabokov perevodil "Onegina",
i s takim zhe razrushitel'nym rezul'tatom: Pushkin otmshchen.
Legche li v etom russkom stikhe slyshat' neumestnuiu skhozhest'
s "Rustemom i Zorabom", chem v angliiskom?" (M. Gasparov. Zapisi
i vypiski. Moskva: Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie, 2000. S. 378).
