A.S. Pushkin is a great Russian prose writer, poet and playwright. During his short life he managed to write a lot of poems, several poems, stories and fairy tales, which today are part of the world art.

Why and who killed Pushkin? Was this a duel based on jealousy? Or did the European special services smash Dantes with the poet? And to this day disputes about this have not ceased. To understand this a little, let's talk about the poet himself.

Biography of Pushkin: briefly about his years of life

Beginning of the Pushkin family has been conducted since the time of the principality of Alexander Nevsky, during the reign of which the distant ancestor of the poet of Prussian origin came to Russia. It is on the paternal line of the poet, and on the mother's line the ancestor was all known Hannibal, arap and godson of Peter I.

1799 - the year of Pushkin's birth. He was born on June 6, and in 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 grandmother on the mother - Maria Hannibal. It was she who first noted the impermanence of Alexander, who always rushed from one extreme to the other.

The Patriotic War of 1812 finds the young Pushkin in the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where he was regarded as a poet.

In 1814 in the magazine "Herald of Europe" for the first time his poem was published. It is called "To a friend poet".

Pushkin graduated from the Lyceum in 1817, receives the rank of college secretary and is appointed to the College of Foreign Affairs. During this period, he often happens in 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 well-known poems appear: "To Chaadayev," "Liberty," "The Village," "Love, Hope, Silent Glory." In the same period, work is underway on the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila."

The poem "The Caucasian Prisoner" was written in 1922, it was she who made him one of the greatest writers of his time. A year later, the poet begins "Eugene Onegin." He already feels a literary figure, not a public worker. Therefore, he is transferred to Odessa, and then leaves office altogether. He is sent to the Mikhailovsky estate. There the poet writes several poems, works on "Eugene Onegin." In 1926, Pushkin was invited to an audience by Nicholas I, who promised him his protection and getting rid of censorship. During this period the poet is very interested in Peter I, often travels to Petersburg and Moscow. Already from 1927, he was persecuted because of the poem "Gavriiliada" and the poem "Andrey Chenier," followed by an unofficial supervision.

In 1929 the poet went to the Caucasus. If you analyze his poems, then at this time he is haunted by the premonitions of his death. Although there are still 9 years before the question arose as to why and who killed Pushkin.

In 1930, the poet repeatedly wooed Natalia Goncharova. In the autumn he goes to his father's estate, where he writes "Eugene Onegin" and several other novels. And in the spring of 1831 in Moscow he is crowned with Goncharova, they go to Tsarskoe Selo, where they rent a dacha.

In the same year the poet again goes to the service of a historiographer. But in fact, he wants to access the archives. In the country it is uneasy, in foreign policy too instability. All this is conveyed in his verses: "Slanderers of Russia", "Borodino anniversary", "Before the tomb of the saint ...". It is these works that evoke indignation in the West. This raises the question of who killed Pushkin in reality.

From 1832 to 1836 the poet wrote a lot. These are poems and prose. He again leaves the service, publishes the magazine "Contemporary", but he, unfortunately, does not enjoy popularity.

Comes in 1837. Between Pushkin and Dantes (the son of the Dutch envoy Heeckeren) there is a conflict, the cause of which was Natalia. There was a duel, on which the poet was mortally wounded.

According to the stories of comrade Pushkin in lyceum K.K. Danzas (he was the second in the duel and did not leave the poet until the last minute of his life), he had to fight not with Dantes, but with his father - Baron Heeckeren. But he, according to his official position, could not fight in a duel. Perhaps the father and son deliberately spread rumors about the poet's wife, knowing in advance about the consequences.

Who killed Pushkin? One can say with certainty that Dantes dealt a mortal wound to the poet, but behind this stood his father, the Dutch envoy.
