Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin (1799-1837)
Review
1. In 1799, Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin was born into an aristocratic family in Russia’s
ancient capital of Moscow. His father and paternal uncle were descendants of ancient Russian
aristocracy. Pushkin’s mother was a descendant of a Moor from Africa whom Tsar Peter the
Great had brought to his court, then educated to become an officer in the Russian Army. Heavily
under the influence of 18th-century French language and culture, they spent long hours reading
French poetry (Russian was the language of the serfs), often in the presence of young Aleksandr.
Pushkin’s nurse, a serf woman by the name of Arina Rodionovna, spoke to him in the Russian
language used by non-aristocrats at that time. She had a vast store of folk poetry that she would
recite to him for long stretches.
2. St. Petersburg was founded in 1703 by a Russian tsar, Peter the Great. By the end of the 19th
century, it became the center of an expanding empire, a city of great mansions and glorious
residences, and a glittering jewel of Russian and European culture.
3. In the beginning of 19th century, tsar Aleksandr I established a new school for the young
aristocrats, the Lyceum (located at Tsarskoe Selo – The Tsars’ Village – near St. Petersburg).
Among its first group of highly talented youths from Moscow came Aleksandr Pushkin. At the
Lyceum, the staff, who numbered among the finest teachers in aristocratic Russia, did not take
long to realize that they had a genius on their hands - as well as one of the most mischievous and
sometimes ungovernable brats in Russia.
4. Pushkin’s schoolmates, many of them future famous leaders in Russia, found in him a loyal
and staunch friend, although one with a passionate and unpredictable temper. Neither did it take
long for Pushkin’s brilliant poetry to be recognized, in the Lyceum and beyond.
5. When this talented but rebellious and mischievous youth came out of school into the
supercharged aristocratic life of early19th-century St. Petersburg, he showed neither interest nor
promise as a “top-drawer” bureaucrat. During his absences from work, he spent a great deal of
time at the gambling tables, balls, theaters, and, most especially, the ballet. At a theatrical
performance, he circulated the portrait of a famous French assassin of a high-ranking aristocrat.
The caption, in Pushkin’s handwriting, read: “A lesson to tsars!”
6. When this episode inevitably came to the attention of the St. Petersburg chief of police,
Pushkin did not remain long in the Russian capital. He was exiled, first to the southwest, to the
town of Kishinev in Bessarabia, near present-day Romania, then to Odessa and Mikhailovskoye,
Pushkin’s exile lasted for six years including – virtually, his entire youth. When Pushkin was
leaving the capital, his first long poèma, “Ruslan and Liudmila” (based on the Russian fair tales
and folk motifs) was being prep.
In this presentation you will find the basic description about main characters of "Crime and Punishment": Sonya Marmeladova, Rodion Raskolnikov, Razumikhin, Svidrigailov, Luzhin and Dunya. Also we have covered main "Crime and Punishment" themes, motifs and symbols.

Karamzin, Nikolai Mikhailovich (1766 - 1826), is a famous Russian writer, a journalist
and a historian, the head of a literary school known as Russian sentimentalism. His first literary
experiences occurred in the beginning of 1780s and in 1791 he became a professional writer. He
was a publisher of the first Russian literary periodical, Moscow Journal, and his first novella,
Poor Lisa, was first published in this journal in 1792. Soon after, Karamzin’s other works,
including the collections, “Aglaya” and “Aonids,” appeared From 1801 Karamzin starts
publishing another literary periodical, The European Herald. He authored a number of
sentimental novellas, including Eugene and Julia, Natalia, the Boyar Daughter, Frol Silin,
followed by a large number of poems and his famous History of Russian State, whose eight
volumes appeared in 1816.
Karamzin was an innovator, a writer who was deeply concerned with the events of his
epoch. He strove to depict a real life by ridding of the cannons of classicism prevalent on the
literature of the 18th century. A son of an impoverished Siberian landowner, Karamzin was
educated in foreign private educational establishments, subsequently going through the military
service, starting his literary career only after he has retired from the military service. He got
acquainted with such literati as Nikolai Novikov, the head of the “Printing Company,” and with
the members of his literary circle. In 1789 Karamzin traveled all over the Western Europe; this
trip has served a material for his work The Letters of a Russian Traveler. Before this work, there
were not literary works in Russian literature which described so vividly and in detail the life and
customs of the Western European nations and western culture. Karamzin describes his meetings
with European writers and cultural activists, his visits to the museums and cultural and
educational institutions, opening Europe to a Russian reader. An important feature of The Letters
of a Russian Traveler is the description of the feelings of this “sentimental traveler;” the author
considers sentimentality an important quality which a true writer should have. However,
Karamzin’s sentimentality which was partially a result of his fears and non-acceptance of the
Great French Revolution, sometimes led him away from the reality and into the unrealistic,
imaginary world of sentimental feelings. At the end of this book, Karamzin outlines the program
of his future literary activity.
Karamzin’s literary heritage had a tremendous importance for the development of
Russian literary language, colloquial speech, and a bookish jargon. He liberated Russian
language from the archaisms and borrowings from the Old Church Slavonic and Latin which
were abundant in the Russian of those days, and introduced a large number of the neologisms,
including the new synonyms of the words which nev ...

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

TO MY NANNY…

dear doting sweetheart of
my childhood….
Companion of my austere fate!
In the lone house deep in
the wild wood…
…how patiently for me you wait.
Alone beside your window
sitting…
2. …and blame the clock.
While in your wrinkled
hands,
…your knitting fitfully falters
to a stop.
Beyond the crumbling
gates….
…the pine trees shadow the
road you watch so well
Nameless forebodings, dark
anxieties oppress your heart…you
cannot tell what visions haunt you
Now you seem to see.......
