(369 words) A significant figure in Russian literature, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was born in 1799 on June 6 in Moscow.
The childhood of the poet all his life was associated with the village of Zakharovka near Moscow. It was there that the grandmother hired him a nanny, Arina Rodionovna. She fondly read to the boy tales that influenced his earlier work.
At the age of twelve, young Alexander enters the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where he is taught by the best teachers of Russia. There he met true friends: Pushchin, Delvig, Küchelbeker, etc. Even then, Pushkin was creating with great enthusiasm. On the exam, Alexander Sergeyevich read his creation “Memoirs in Tsarskoye Selo”. It shocked the venerable poet Derzhavin! He was no longer a student, but a talent that overshadowed the poets of previous centuries. Even at the Lyceum, Pushkin joined the Arzamas Society. It struggled with archaic literary preferences and rules. The young man graduated from the school in June 1817. He is a secretary sent to the College of Foreign Affairs. But this poet was clearly not happy.
Pushkin was friends with the Decembrists. He wrote political epigrams. In 1820, Governor-General Count Miloradovich was furious at the epigrams on Alexander I and Arkachev. The decision was quick - a link to the Chisinau office. After the poet went to the south of Russia. Then he goes to Odessa under the leadership of the Novorossiysk Governor-General Vorontsov. The poet had conflicts with him. Pushkin called Vorontsov a boor and an egoist. And he sent an impudent man to Mikhailovskoye, which could not be left without permission. On December 14, a Decembrist uprising took place. This influenced the return of Pushkin from exile.
Love pierced the poet's heart in December 1825. He met his future wife - Natalia Goncharova. In 1830, the newlyweds played a wedding. They had four children: Maria, Alexander, Natalya, Gregory.
He did not let Dantes enjoy family happiness. People gossiped about his courtship of his beautiful wife. Pushkin did not tolerate a vulgar attitude towards his beloved and decided to defend her honor. He challenged the offender to a duel. The poet was begged her to cancel. After the wedding of Dantes with Natalya's sister, Catherine, the writer decided to cancel this terrible event. But the last straw was the rumor that the wedding took place on purpose. She saves the honor of Natalia. The poet no longer intended to behave restrainedly. Although his wife advised her to leave for St. Petersburg, the man decided to do it his own way. On January 27, at the Black River, the offender wounded Alexander Sergeyevich. The bullet went through the neck of the thigh and gradually hit the stomach. Two days later, the sun of Russian poetry was gone. Before his death, the king himself promised a rebellious freethinker to take care of his family.
