Important facts

• Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin was born in Moscow on May 26, 1799 (Old Style).
• In 1811 he was selected to be among the thirty students in the first class at the Lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo.
• Pushkin was married to Natalia Goncharova on February 18, 1831, in Moscow.
• A duel with d'Anthes took place on January 27, 1837. Pushkin died two days later, on January 29.

Professional activity

• After graduating from the Lyceum, he was given a sinecure in the Collegium of Foreign Affairs in Petersburg. But he used to be received in literary circles; in circles of Guard-style lovers of wine, women, and song; and in groups where political liberals debated reforms and constitutions.

Achievements

• Pushkin wrote a lot of poems and other works such as “ Ruslan and Liudmila ”, “ The Prisoner of the Caucasus ”, “ The Blackamoor of Peter the Great ”, “ Boris Godunov ”, “ The Tales of Belkin ” ; "The Little House in Kolomna;" his little tragedies, "The Avaricious Knight," "Mozart and Salieri;" "The Stone Guest;" and "Feast in the Time of the Plague;" "The Tale of the Priest and His Workman Balda".

The greatest work

• In my opinion, novel in verse, Eugene Onegin (1823-1831) is the best Pushkin’s achievement .
• Also I should add that Pushkin was a Decembrist and his work in this area is really amusing. What’s about the fact that Nicholas I was the personal censor of Pushkin’s works ?!

Private life

• Pushkin was married to Natalia Goncharova on February 18, 1831, in Moscow. Mme. Pushkina's beauty immediately made a sensation in society, and her admirers included the Tsar himself.
• In 1834 Mme. Pushkina met a handsome French royalist, who was adopted by the Dutch ambassador, Heeckeren. Young d'Anthes-Heeckeren pursued Mme. Pushkina for two years, and finally so openly and unabashedly that by autumn 1836, it was becoming a scandal .
• A duel with d'Anthes took place on January 27, 1837. D'Anthes fired first, and Pushkin was mortally wounded; after he fell, he summoned the strength to fire his shot and to wound, slightly, his adversary.

Influence on mankind

• It has been left for later generations of Russians to appreciate Pushkin's true worth. It is significant that he was practically the only writer of pre-Revolutionary Russia who escaped the general condemnation of the Bolsheviks of everything that smacked of aristocratic culture.
