Comments
Date of issue: 18 MAR 1999
Moscow and Petersburg have a special place in the life of Pushkin.The poet was born in Moscow and spent here the early years of his life coming back to Moscow continually during his life. Moscow met Pushkin enthusiastically when he had been discharged by the Tsar from his banishment in Mikhailovskoye. Here on a ball he met for the first time Nataliya Goncharova, a beauty woman whom he got married in 1831. One of the best monuments to A.S.Pushkin was erected in Moscow on the Strastnoy Avenue in 1880. After graduation from the lyceum the life of the poet was connected with Petersburg.The circle of his acquaintances and connections was extremely wide and spacious: the poets Zhukovsky and Griboyedov, the philosopher Chaadayev, the historian Karamzin, the composer Glinka etc.The poet was mortally wounded in Petersburg in the duel. After the evidence of a contemporary up to 50 thousand people of all classes having lived in Petersburg visited his house from his death to the transference of his remains to a church.The tragic death of Pushkinshacked Russia.»
