Pushkin's future wife was a sweet girl since childhood. From the age of 8, Natasha attracted attention with her unusually rare and antique features. She was brought up in strictness, the mother, on whom all the worries about the house and the well-being of the family lay, did not spoil the children. Natalia Ivanovna expressed her love for children in education. Natasha was taught several foreign languages, history, geography, literacy, and studied literature. Childhood with a demanding mother and an insane father left an imprint on Tasha's whole life. The only outlet for the girl was her grandfather Afanasy Nikolaevich, who loved his granddaughter immensely and spoiled her in every possible way. Silence, shyness, humility and perfect obedience did Natalia a disservice in the future.

Was - Tasha, became - Pushkin's wife

Natalie and Pushkin met in the winter of 1828-1829. at the dancer Yogel's ball. The future wife of A. S. Pushkina was young (she was barely 16 years old) and regally beautiful in a snow-white dress with a gold hoop in her hair. This is how Alexander Sergeevich remembered her, she instantly won his heart.

Pushkin's courtship was long, he wrote a letter to Natalia Ivanovna, where he frankly confessed his deep and strong feelingsto her daughter. The poet asked Natalie's hand in marriage, but the future mother-in-law did not immediately give an answer. Alexander Sergeevich was in the status of a groom for a year, negotiations were held for a long time about a dowry.

The state of mind of the writer enriched Russian literature for centuries. At this time, beautiful poems by Pushkin were written: "I loved you …", "On the Hills of Georgia" and "Do not sing, beauty, with me …".

Lovers wrote each other a lot of unique letters. Pushkin's future wife, unable to bear the separation from the poet, sent a letter to her grandfather on May 5, 1830, in which she spoke of her feelings for Pushkin. On May 6, 1830, Alexander Sergeevich and Goncharova were announced as bride and groom. But the cholera quarantines in Moscow that were passing at that time became an obstacle to the wedding. On February 18, 1831, the wedding of the writer and Natalia took place.

Pushkin's wife and Dantes

Dantes was a Frenchman by origin, after the revolution in France he arrived in Russia with the intention of making a career. The young man was adopted as a foster son by Baron Gekkeren, the Dutch envoy from St. Petersburg. Dantes was on a special account at the court of Emperor Nicholas I and was accepted into the regiment as an officer.

Dantes had the right and beautiful features, was a smug and arrogant young man. The young man began to look after Natalia. Pushkin's wife, not attaching any importance to this, told her husband about her social successes and Dantes' whipping.

Six months before his death, Pushkin wrote "The desert fathers and the wives are blameless." As if anticipatingthe result of the upcoming duel, Alexander Sergeevich created this prayer verse.

On January 27, 1837, a duel took place between the adopted son of Heckeren and the poet. During the duel, Pushkin was seriously wounded, this wound led Alexander Sergeevich to death.

Natalia Nikolaevna, although she married a second time, carried her love for the poet through the rest of her life. Goncharova's last words were also about Pushkin.
