I think he passes the test largely because he's Pushkin's great-grandfather.

Yeah, that’s why I picked him in the first place.

I didn‘t know him either, but I think we had more obscure characters, and I think he was actually an interesting choice.

Who?

I've heard of him, or at least found him on Wikipedia before.

Note that not all Europe is presently in the European Union.

Yep, that's why I asked that and not "Europe"

Note that not all Europe is presently in the European Union.

Oof, didn’t notice the repeated numbering.

If no Juan Valiente
If yes Juan Garrido

No. Juan Valiente was already invalidated as a possibility by question 15, so that guess does not count.
