Born in Russia, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837) is considered the greatest Russian poet and one of the founders of modern Russian literature. He was a pioneer in the use of colloquial language, creating a narrative style that blends romance, drama, and satire.
As a poet, he made use of expressions and popular legends from Russian culture, imbuing his verses with extreme richness and diversity. His technique and writing influenced great authors such as Gogol, Lermontov, and Turgenev.
In 1837, amidst strong rumors of his wife's frequent infidelity, Pushkin challenged her alleged lover, Georges d'Anthès, to a duel in which he was gravely wounded, resulting in his death. Due to his liberal political ideals and his influence on generations of rebels, Pushkin was portrayed by the Bolsheviks as an opponent of bourgeois literature and culture, and a precursor to Soviet literature and poetry.
