Early years
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on June 6 (according to the old style, May 26), 1799 in Moscow in the family of an untitled noble family.
The poet's maternal great grandfather was the African Abram Petrovich Hannibal, who was a pupil and servant of Tsar Peter I.
In the family, in addition to Alexander Sergeevich, there were several other children a son Lev and a daughter Olga.
From 1805 to 1810, Pushkin spent a lot of time (especially in the summer) with his grandmother in the village of Zakharov near Moscow.
It was my grandmother who hired Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva, the nanny whom the young Pushkin loved so much.
Education and the beginning of a creative path
In 1811, Pushkin studied at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
In the biography of Pushkin, it is important to emphasize that for the first time his poems appeared in print in 1814, in the journal "Vestnik Evropa", where his verse "To a friend of the poet"was published.
During the same period, the poet was accepted into the literary society "Arzamas".
Voltaire and Evariste Guys were the favorite authors of the young Pushkin.
The works of such classics of Russian literature as Batyushkov, Zhukovsky, Fonvizin and Radishchev had a huge influence on the further work of the young Pushkin.
Pushkin graduated from the lyceum in 1817, and graduated with the rank of collegiate secretary of the 12th grade, after which he was appointed to the College of Foreign Affairs.
The poet's creativity
In 1819, Pushkin was accepted as a member of the literary and theatrical community "Green Lamp".
During the same period, he was actively working on the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" (1820).
In 1821, Pushkin wrote the poem "The Caucasian Prisoner", which makes him one of the greatest writers among his contemporaries.
A year later, work begins on "Eugene Onegin"(1823-1832).
In 1832, the poet conceived the idea of creating a historical novel about the times of Pugachev, for which he studied all available materials (many of them were classified at that time), traveled around many places where the uprising took place.
After all these trips, in the autumn of 1833, he wrote "The History of Pugachev" and "Songs of the Western Slavs", as well as the poems" Angelo "and" The Bronze Horseman", and began work on the story"The Queen of Spades".
At the same time, Pushkin begins work on the novel "Dubrovsky", in which the main character has to become a robber.
Links
Pushkin's Political Lyrics of 1817-1820 ("Liberty", "To Chaadaev", "Village") aroused the anger of Alexander I, and Aleksand Sergeyevich could be exiled to Siberia.
Only thanks to the efforts and influence of Karamzin, Zhukovsky and Krylov, exile to Siberia was avoided.
So, in May 1820, Pushkin, under the guise of official relocation, was exiled to the south of Russia.
During the southern exile, Pushkin became very interested in the work of Byron.
In one of his letters, Pushkin ironically spoke about religion.
The letter was intercepted and delivered to Alexander I.
The result was the dismissal of Pushkin from the service and his second exile, to the village of Mikhailovskoye (1824-1826).
Personal life
In 1830, Pushkin wooed Natalia Goncharova.
On February 18, 1831, they were married in Moscow.
In the spring, the newlyweds move to Tsarskoye Selo, where they rent a dacha.
In 1836, there were already four children in the family.
The last years of his life
It is important to note that in the biography of Alexander Pushkin, after his promotion to the rank of chamber junker, he decides to leave the service and resigns.
The poet's position looks quite disastrous, since many of Pushkin's works are not allowed to be printed due to censorship (for example, the poem "The Bronze Horseman").
In 1834, Pushkin completed the novel "The Queen of Spades", which he immediately sent to the magazine "Library for Reading".
For the story, he receives a high fee, but it is not possible to solve financial issues.
In 1836, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin decided to publish the magazine "Sovremennik".
However, the magazine is not popular with the public.
In the fourth volume of this magazine, the historical novel "The Captain's Daughter"was published for the first time.
In 1837, a conflict arose between Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin and Georges Dantes.
Pushkin challenges Dantes to a duel, and as a result receives a fatal wound in the stomach.
Emperor Nicholas I, knowing about the poet's serious condition, promises to provide the family with prosperity and pay off all debts.
Subsequently, the monarch fulfilled all his promises.
The poet died on January 29 (February 10), 1837.
