A. S. Pushkin is a great Russian prose writer, poet and playwright. During his short life, he managed to write many poems, several poems, stories and fairy tales, which today are part of world art.
Why and who killed Pushkin? Was it really a duel of jealousy? Or did the European secret services deal with the poet with the hands of Dantes? And to this day, controversy about this has not subsided. To understand this a little, let's talk about the poet himself.
Pushkin's biography: briefly about the years of his life
The beginning of the Pushkin family dates back to the time of the principality of Alexander Nevsky, during whose reign the poet's distant ancestor of Prussian origin came to Russia. This is on the paternal line of the poet, and on the mother's side, the well-known Hannibal, the black man and the godson of Peter I.
1799 is the year of Pushkin's birth. He was born on June 6, and according to the old style - on May 26. The poet's father is Sergei Lvovich Pushkin, and his mother is Alexandra Sergeevna.
From 1805 to 1810, the future poet spends a lot of time in the village of Zakharovo near Moscow, with his maternal grandmother, Maria Gannibal. It was she who first noted the inconstancy of Alexander, who foreverrushed from one extreme to another.
The Patriotic War of 1812 finds young Pushkin at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where he was rated as a poet.
In 1814, his poem was first published in the journal Vestnik Evropy. It is called "To a Poet Friend".
Pushkin graduated from the Lyceum in 1817, received the rank of collegiate secretary and was appointed to the Collegium of Foreign Affairs. During this period, he often visits theaters, attends meetings of the Arzamas society. Pushkin is a friend of many Decembrists, although he does not take an active part in their activities. At this time, his famous poems were published: “To Chaadaev”, “Liberty”, “Village”, “Love, hope, quiet glory”. In the same period, work is underway on the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila".
The poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus" was written in 1822, it was she who made him one of the great writers of his time. A year later, the poet begins "Eugene Onegin". He already feels in himself a literary figure, and not a state worker. Therefore, he is transferred to Odessa, and then completely leaves the service. He is sent to the Mikhailovsky estate. There the poet writes several poems, works on "Eugene Onegin". In 1826, Pushkin was summoned to an audience by Nicholas I, who promised him his patronage and deliverance from censorship. During this period, the poet is very interested in Peter I, often travels to St. Petersburg and Moscow. Already since 1827, he has been persecuted because of the poem "Gavriiliada" and the poem "Andrei Chenier", behind him a secret supervision has been established.
In 1829 the poet goes to the Caucasus. If aanalyze his poems, it was at this time that he was haunted by premonitions of his death. Although there are still 9 years left before the question arises of why and who killed Pushkin.
In 1830 the poet again wooed Natalya Goncharova. In the autumn he goes to his father's estate, where he finishes writing "Eugene Onegin" and several other novels. And in the spring of 1831 in Moscow, he marries Goncharova, they go to Tsarskoye Selo, where they rent a summer house.
In the same year, the poet again enters the service of a historiographer. But what he really wants is access to the archives. The country is restless, and there is also instability in foreign policy. All this is conveyed in such his poems: "To the slanderers of Russia", "Borodino anniversary", "In front of the tomb of the saint …". It is these works that cause indignation in the West. Hence the question arises as to who really killed Pushkin.
From 1832 to 1836 the poet writes a lot. This is both poetry and prose. He leaves the service again, publishes the Sovremennik magazine, but, unfortunately, it is not popular.
The year 1837 is coming. Between Pushkin and Dantes (son of the Dutch envoy Gekkeren) a conflict arises, the cause of which was Natalia. There was a duel in which the poet was mortally wounded.
According to the stories of comrade Pushkin from the Lyceum K. K. Danzas (it was he who was the second in the duel and did not leave the poet until the last minute of his life), he was supposed to fight not with Dantes, but with his father, Baron Gekkeren. But he, according to his official position, could not fight a duel. Possibly father and sondeliberately spread rumors about the poet's wife, knowing in advance about the consequences.
Who killed Pushkin? One thing can be reliably stated - Dantes inflicted a mortal wound on the poet, but behind this was his father - the Dutch envoy.
