Биография Путина на английском языке

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was a famous Russian poet and novelist.

Childhood

Pushkin was born in Moscow in 1799. In summer he was usually sent to his grandmother's. She often mentioned his taste for books.

Youth

Pushkin was admitted to the Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo, where he studied for 6 years. At the Lyceum he wrote his first poems. Also at that time he published one of his poems in Moscow magazine "Vestnik Evropy". While studying at the Lyceum, Pushkin became a member of "Arzamas", a literary society.

Beginning of his career

After graduating from the Lyceum Pushkin became a member of another society called the Green Lamp. At the same time he made friends with the people from Decembrist communities. Soon after that Pushkin published his first long poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila". The poem didn't have a lot of positive feedback. In 1820 the poet went to the Caucasus and, then, to the Crimea with the intention of recovering from his pneumonia. It was in the Crimea where the idea of "Eugene Onegin" first came into his mind. Later on Pushkin got to know works by Byron which he was greatly impressed with.

Mikhailovskoe

Mikhailovskoe was his mother's estate where he used to spend a lot of time, escaping from the city life. He also was sent there for two years (1824-1826) into exile. That time proved very productive in the poet's life.

Private life

In 1828 Pushkin was introduced to beautiful 16-year-old Natalya Goncharova. He asked in marriage twice before his proposal was finally accepted. Soon after the wedding the Pushkins moved from Moscow to Tsarskoye Selo. There Pushkin finished his work at novel "Eugene Onegin".

Last years

In 1836 Pushkin founded his own magazine "The Contemporary" which, unfortunately, was not successful. After facing rumours that Georges d'Anthes was showing affection for his wife Natalya, Pushkin challenged him to a duel. Pushkin was injured and died 2 days later after the duel, on the 29th of January 1837.
