Famous  people of Russia.  Alexander Pushkin.

 

Everybody knows that the Russian nature, spirit and genius all come together in the greatest people of our land. There are many talented people in Russia- scientists, writers, composers, painters and many others who Russians can be proud of.

Firstly, I would like to mention the greatest Russian poet and writer Alexander Pushkin.

 He was born in Moscow into a family belonging to the “cream” of Moscow society. As far as I know, Pushkin received his early education at home. When he was eight, he composed his first poem but he became famous only in 1820 when he published his first poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila”. Pushkin is known   in the world as the creator of literary Russian and wrote a lot of poems. As to his political views, they were close to the “Decembrists”. Unfortunately, the poet died rather young after a duel. Alexander Pushkin was buried in Svyatogorsky Monastery near his family estate Mikhailovskoye. But we still remember him and study his best known work “Eugene Onegin” at school.
