Abstract
Alexander Pushkin was born in the last year of the eighteenth century —26 May 17991— and died at the age of thirty-seven. His life coincided for a quarter of a century with the reign of Alexander I which started in a comparatively liberal mood, witnessed the Napoleonic wars, and led to the abortive and tragic Decembrist revolt. It ended under the intensified reactionary policy of the reign of Nicholas I.
