2. • Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin 6 June 1799 – 10 February
1837) 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 was born into Russian nobility in Moscow. His greatgrandfather from his mother's side – Abram Gannibal – was
brought over as a slave from Africa and had risen to become
an aristocrat.[8] 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
Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.

4. • 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. His last home is
now a museum.
