    I was taught that it could be written in two ways:

    This is a story of Pushkin's. --- Name takes Genitive case
    Это рассказ Пушкина.

    This is a story, which was written by Pushkin --- Name takes instrumental
    Это рассказ, который был написан Пушкином.

    oh! This is two different ways.
    1. When you need to put your name on your work.
    2. When you need just translating of "this work is by..."
