Алекса́ндр Серге́евич Пу́шкин (26 мая [6 июня] 1799, Москва — 29 января [10 февраля] 1837, Санкт-Петербург) — русский поэт, драматург и прозаик, заложивший основы русского реалистического направления литературный критик и теоретик литературы, историк, публицист, журналист[3], редактор и издатель. Один из самых авторитетных литературных деятелей первой трети XIX века. Ещё при жизни Пушкина сложилась его репутация величайшего национального русского поэта. Пушкин рассматривается как основоположник современного русского литературного языка. ---------- Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin was a Russian author of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin pioneered the use of vernacular speech in his poems and plays, creating a style of storytelling—mixing drama, romance, and satire—associated with Russian literature ever since and greatly influencing later Russian writers. He also wrote historical fiction. *His Marie: A Story of Russian Love* provides insight into Russia during the reign of Catherine the Great. Born in Moscow, Russia, Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo. Pushkin gradually became committed to social reform and emerged as a spokesman for literary radicals; in the early 1820s he clashed with the government, which sent him into exile in southern Russia. While under the strict surveillance of government censors and unable to travel or publish at will, he wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov, but could not publish it until years later. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was published serially from 1825 to 1832. Pushkin and his wife Natalya Goncharova, whom he married in 1831, later became regulars of court society. In 1837, while falling into greater and greater debt amidst rumors that his wife had started conducting a scandalous affair, Pushkin challenged her alleged lover, Georges d'Anthès, to a duel. Pushkin was mortally wounded and died two days later.<sup>[1][1]</sup> [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Sergeyevich_Pushkin
