Alexander Pushkin was a renowned Russian poet, playwright, and novelist during the Romantic era, celebrated as the greatest Russian poet and a pioneer of modern Russian literature. His early success was met with controversy, leading to his exile by Emperor Alexander I. Despite facing challenges such as surveillance and publishing restrictions, Pushkin created notable works like the play “Boris Godunov” and the novel in verse “Eugene Onegin.” Tragically, his life was cut short by a fatal duel with his wife’s alleged lover, Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d’Anthès.
