Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 to 1827), Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era who is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin was born into Russian nobility in Moscow. He published his first poem at the age of fifteen, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. While under the strict surveillance of the Tsar’s political police and unable to publish, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama Boris Godunov. His novel in verse, Eugene Onegin, was serialized between 1825 and 1832.
Pushkin was fatally wounded at age 28 in a duel with his brother-in-law, Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès, a French officer serving with the Chevalier Guard Regiment. d'Anthès had attempted to seduce the poet’s wife, Natalia Gonchorova Pushkina
