Mikhailovskaya Pushkin's reference was not at all the firstpunishment of the young poet. Back in 1820, for his free verses and epigrams, he went to the southern exile. In fact, the young official was simply sent to serve away from Moscow. For four years he lived in several cities: Odessa, Ekaterinoslav, Chisinau. During this period, several well-known poems were written: "Bakhchisarai Fountain", "Caucasian Prisoner", "Brothers Robbers". At the same time, work was begun on the poetic novel "Eugene Onegin".
Pushkin's reference in Mikhailovsky
During his stay in the south, literary famethe young poet is growing unheard. Together with his fame, attentive views of representatives of state censorship headed by Alexei Arakcheev are again being addressed to him. In 1824, the clouds are again gathering over the poet. The police intercepts one of his private messages to a friend. In this letter, Pushkin expresses his own atheistic views. On July 8 of the same year, the poet is removed from the service and sent to his mother's estate, located in the Pskov region. Actually, Pushkin's reference in Mikhailovsky was not too strict for him. It was not similar to the conclusion of the Decembrists or a number of other figures of that time. However, this peculiar arrest, being away from literary friends and political like-minded people weighed upon the poet. He himself considered the link an imprisonment.
Pushkin's link in Mikhailovsky continued from the summer1824 to September 1826. At the same time, it was here that for the first time in his life he had to face directly the people, with the peasantry, which gave the poet new inspiration and was reflected in his subsequent work. Today, a lot of eyewitness memories have survived, which later told how Pushkin imbued the life of the peasants, visiting the fairs with great enthusiasm, communicating with local peasants. The whole period of Pushkin's exile to Mikhailovskoe was next to him, his nurse, Arina Rodionovna, who had grown old by that time. In his poems and letters, he calls her only friend. He was also visited periodically by old Lyceum comrades: Pushchin and Delvig, which was a great joy for the classics. In the summer of 1826, not far from the Pushkin estate, the young poet N. Yazykov settled. In it, Alexander Sergeevich found a close friend. Many evenings they spent together.
Pushkin's link in Mikhailovsky bright light reflected on his work. On the spiritual life of the poet, as already noted,
огромное влияние оказало общение с народным people, admission to folklore. What was created during this period, perhaps, is one of the brightest and brilliant pages of the creative biography of the greatest poet. Here, most of the poem "Gypsies" is being written, three chapters of "Eugene Onegin" are being created, from the pen of the poet in the Mikhailovsky estate there are "Boris Godunov", "Faust's Scene", "Count Nulin" and many less well-known poems, sketches and critical articles . It is interesting that after leaving for Petersburg in the autumn of 1925, a month after the expiry of the term of exile, Pushkin again returned to Mikhailovskoye. This time he spends there about a month. However, later the poet often returns here, drawing new inspiration and creative powers.
