  2. Life and career • Pushkin was born May 26 (June 6) 1799 in Moscow. • Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen. • In 1820 he published his first long poem, Ruslan and Lyudmila. • Pushkin's married lover, Anna Petrovna Kern, for whom he probably wrote the most famous love poem in the Russian language.

  3. He stayed in Chişinău until 1823 and wrote two Romantic poems which brought him wide acclaim; The Captive of the Caucasus and The Fountain of Bakhchisaray. • In 1823 Pushkin moved to Odessa, where he again clashed with the government, which sent him into exile on his mother's rural estate of Mikhailovskoe • In Mikhailovskoe, Pushkin wrote nostalgic love poems which had been dedicated to Elizaveta Vorontsova, wife of Malorossia's General-Governor. • 1829 he travelled through the Caucasus to Erzurum to visit friends fighting in the Russian army during Russo-Turkish War.

  4. Around 1828, Pushkin met Natalya Goncharova, then 16 years old and one of the most talked-about beauties of Moscow. • After much hesitation, Natalya accepted a proposal of marriage from Pushkin in April 1830. • They officially became engaged on 6 May 1830, and sent out wedding invitations. Due to an outbreak of cholera and other circumstances, the wedding was delayed for a year. The ceremony took place on 18 February 1831 (Old Style) in the Great Ascension Church on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street in Moscow.

  5. By 1837, Pushkin was falling into greater and greater debt and faced scandalous rumors that his wife had embarked on a love affair. In response, the poet challenged Natalya's alleged lover, her brother in-law Georges d'Anthès, to a duel which left both men injured. Shot through the spleen, Pushkin died two days later.

  6. Pushkin descendants • Pushkin had four children from his marriage to Natalya: Maria, Alexander, Gregory and Natalya.

  7. I loved you I loved you, and that love, to die refusing,May still - who knows! - be smouldering in my breastPray be not pained - believe me, of my choosingI'd never have you troubled or distressed.I loved you mutely, hopelessly and truly,With shy yet fervent tenderness aglow;Mine was a jealous passion and unruly...May God grant that another'll love you so!
