Pushkin is considered Russia's greatest poet and, by many, the greatest Russian writer of any kind. He is known as the father of Russian literature and modern Russian literary language. P. wrote in a wide variety of poetic and prose styles. He first achieved fame for long, narrative poems similar to those of G. Byron, but he was also a master of lyric poetry and wrote plays in verse. In the late 1820s, P. turned to prose and produced a series of outstanding short stories, novellas, and novels. He was also a brilliant literary critic, letter writer, and historian. In addition to his unparalleled influence on Russian literature, P.'s works provided subjects and inspiration for Russia's leading artists, composers, and choreographers (dance composers).
One of his great-grandfathers was a black Ethiopian courtier to the Russian ruler Peter the Great. The czar's secret police began to watch P. after he wrote the ode “Liberty” and several poems that criticized important government officials. In 1820, he was exiled first to southern Russia and later to his family estate, called Mikhailovskoye near Pskov. In 1826, a new czar, Nicholas I, called P. to St. Petersburg and gave him a pardon. For the rest of his life, P. combined writing with historical research, particularly on the reign of Czar Peter I. His greatest narrative poem, “The Bronze Horseman” (1833), deals with that period. In 1831, P. married Natalya Goncharova, a woman in St. Petersburg society known for her beauty. His wife acquired numerous male admirers at court. Easily aroused to jealousy, P. challenged one of the admirers to a duel in early 1837 and was mortally wounded and died on February 10. The entire Russian intellectual community perceived his early death as a national tragedy. (World Book Online Reference Center. – 2004. – http://www.worldbookonline.com/wb/Article?id=ar452440. This source is also used in some following annotations).
“he was a person, filled with contradictions and accomplished a complex and bent way of development, though the direction of this way laid, undoubtedly, to the increasing harmonization. … from the metahistorical point of view … Pushkin's mission consists in that he, having created a capacious, flexible, rich and extremely expressive literary language and magnificent verse, has given by this way a resolute push to the development of national love to language, to a word, to a verse and to the culture of language as basic means of human dialogue; has armed creators, following for him in time, with this perfect means for the expression of any ideas and feelings; has developed a number of new genres necessary for it, and has headed himself the process of artistic expression of these ideas and images. …
First, it is the ideas connected to a problem of exposure of the demonic nature of a state and to strengthening a complex of liberating moral aspirations of a separate soul and of whole nation … The second cycle of ideas has been connected to a problem of change of Christian humanity's attitudes to the Nature. Basically, it was the idea-experience of the Nature as an objective-fine origin, at all not condemned and not hostile … The third cycle of ideas has been connected to a problem of opening of the new, profound sense of human religious aspirations to the Eternally Feminine … in the circuit of our literature's female characrers, covered with the thinest fragrance of Navna, Tatyana Larina is the first character, whose charm and harmony influence on descendants a century later with the same force, as in the days of its beginning. Further: Pushkin has for the first time put in its full height a specifically Russian, but, in the future, worldwide question about the artist as a herald of higher reality and about the ideal image of a prophet as a final herald's obligation. …
Each Pushkin's line causes in us, Russians, so much cultural and historical associations, precious and sacred for us, that we easily give way even to the temptation to exaggerate his value, to see world scales there where actually scales of a national genius and herald are available. … One hasn't occasion to hope, that the incorporated in Pushkin's poetry reserve of ideas and images or, all the more, his lyrical tunes, will sometime excite the properly cultural environment of other peoples» (2: 385-387).
Continues his creative work in Heavenly Russia (2: 136). Belongs to number of “the enlightened who have risen to special heights in Heavenly Russia” (2: 138).

Translations:
The Poems, Prose and Plays of Pushkin / Selected and edited, with an introd. by Avrahm Yarmolinsky. – N.Y.: Modern Library, <1936>. – 896 p. # P. wrote lyric poems about love, nature, and the obligations of poetry and the poet in Russia. His five prose stories, the “Tales of Belkin” (1830), differ from the conventional romantic prose of his time in their realism. “The Queen of Spades” (1834) is perhaps his most popular short story. The drama “Boris Godunov” written in blank verse in 1825 (published in 1831), introduced Shakespearean historical tragedy to the Russian stage. The play tells the story of the guilt of Czar Boris, who, P. believed, had ascended to the throne by murdering the rightful heir, the infant Dmitriy.
Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse / Translated by Babette Deutsch; Edited with a special introd., by Avrahm Yarmolinsky. – N.Y.: Heritage Press, <1943>. – 178 p., ill. # P.'s most famous work (1825–1832). The title character is intelligent, good-hearted, and liberal but lacks moral discipline and a serious occupation or purpose in life. As a result, he destroys himself and those around him. Much of the story deals with Onegin's relationship with a beautiful country girl named Tatyana. These figures, the weak Eugene and the sincere Tatyana, became models for characters in later Russian literature.

“To make so that Russia has realized its imperfection, the imperfection of its stage of becoming, all unattractiveness of its unilluminated life, is what Gogol should make and has made. A terrible gift, the gift to contemplate the seamy side of life, and another one, the gift of artistic genius, were given to him to embody the seen, showing it to everyone, into objectively staying creations. But Gogol's tragedy rooted in that he felt inside himself also the third gift, unopened, painfully demanded disclosing, and he did not know – and has not learned, – how to discover this third gift, the gift of heralding the worlds of ascent, the gift of preaching and teaching. … he did not manage to realize the distinction between heralding and prophecy; he kept imaging, that heralding the worlds of Light by the art concepts should certainly be linked with the height of ethical life, with personal righteousness. Limited, in comparison with his artistic genius, abilities of his mind have not allowed him to understand the discrepancy between his task and the forms of Orthodox-teacher's activity in which he tried to clothe it. … the psychophysical structure of his essence did not sustained the collision between Orthodox ascetism and requirements of art creativity, between feeling of his prophetical task and the consciousness of his unworthyness, between exhausted him visions of infernal circles and burning thirst to announce and learn about the higher worlds. … the gate of Synclite have bursted open before Gogol in full breadth, as before its most favourite son” (2: 393-395). Continues his creative work in Heavenly Russia (2: 136). Belongs to number of “the enlightened who have risen to special heights in Heavenly Russia” (2: 138).

“a special value has the activity of a great writer possessed the highest degree of artistic giftedness – that is Turgenev. … Turgenev more than someone from writers of his generation understood and loved the love only in its initial time: he is a genius in the poetry of "first randezvous" and "the first declarations of love". The further course of events conducts each time to a catastrophe, and this catastrophe is made still before destinies of the loving are combined. … the reflection of certain life experience has affected here …: this experience did not give Turgenev a material for the other development of a love plot. …
Turgenev’s mission consist in creation of the gallery of female characters marked by Navna and Zventa-Sventana’s influence. … Helena is the first character of a Russian woman who is escaping from the century isolation of female destiny, from its narrow predefiniteness by a custom, and is devoting herself to what was considered until that time as the destiny only of a man: in public struggle, on the open space of social action. …Liza Kalitina’s disposition is not treated yet according to its merits. … Liza could love only one time in her life (she is a sample of characters of one-man women), and the love for her was so sacred, as her concepts about the good and truth. She has understood, and has understood correctly, that to untie this tangle in conditions of our human world is impossible for her, for a person of such conscience and such love. … what can fill and comprehend the remaining years of her life in Enrof, if not preparation and not clarification herself for the sake of worthy transition in that world where the most complicated tangles tied here will be untied? And if so what way besides monkery is firmer and more direct than all the others, conducts more directly and more truly to this clarification? … Liza have removed many sins from Ivan Sergeevich after his death. But other character is even more significant … He has told with it not about the entry of a Russian female soul on the way to righteousness, but about righteousness as such, already achieved and finishing the earthly road. It is Lukerya from a tremendous sketch "Alive relics" – one of pearls of the Russian literature. … Russia has created till now only two female characteres of this plan and this level: maiden Fevroniya and Lukerya” (2: 410-413).
Among the means, assisting to achieve “transparent perception of the physical world”, A. recommends “to read books that would induce a peaceful, benevolent mood and would help thoughts to attune themselves to Nature … Best of all is good poetry and certain classics of prose: Turgenev …” (2: 78-80).
