Some of Pushkin's achievements in literature:
— The novel in verse “Eugene Onegin” is one of the most significant works of Russian classics, an “encyclopedia of Russian life” of the early 19th century.

— "Belkin's Tales" is a cycle of short stories that has become a model of brevity and mastery of plot intrigue.

• Historical works, for example, the tragedy "Boris Godunov" and the story "The Captain's Daughter", based on materials about the Pugachev Rebellion.

• Fairy tales such as "The Tale of Tsar Saltan", "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", "The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Knights".
  Pushkin experimented with genres, creating new forms and giving impetus to the development of Russian literature as a whole. His works formed the basis for operas (for example, Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" and "The Queen of Spades"), ballets, and feature films.

Pushkin was born in Moscow to a noble family. His upbringing was largely shaped by his nanny, Arina Rodionovna, who told him folk tales, proverbs, and bylinas, which later inspired the poet to create his fairy tales.
In 1811, at the age of 12, Pushkin entered the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum near St. Petersburg, where he developed a passion for literature, met famous poets, and made friends. After graduating from the Lyceum in 1817, he remained in St. Petersburg and entered government service, but was more interested in social life and literary pursuits.
In 1814, Pushkin first published the poem “To a Poet Friend” in the magazine
"Vestnik Evropy." In 1815, during his lyceum graduation exam, he read the poem "Memories in Tsarskoye Selo," which impressed Gavriil Derzhavin, one of the most respected Russian poets of the time.
For his freedom-loving poetry, Pushkin was exiled—first to Siberia, but thanks to the intercession of Nikolai Karamzin, he was transferred to southern Russia. At various times, he lived in Chisinau, Odessa, Crimea, the Caucasus, and the village of Mikhailovskoye.
On January 27 (February 8), 1837, a duel took place between Pushkin and Georges d'Anthès. The poet received a fatal wound to the stomach and died on January 29 (February 10), 1837.
