 | | Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837), the greatest Russian poet of the 19th century, established the modern Russian literary idiom in such works as Boris Godunov (1831) and his masterpiece Eugene Onegin (1823-31). |
 | | Pushkin studied at the Lyceum in the town of Tsarskoye Selo, later renamed Pushkin, and after graduating (1817), was appointed to a post at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital city of Saint Petersburg. |
 | | Here Pushkin indulged in the glittering social life available to a well-born Russian youth of his day--the life he would eventually satirize in Eugene Onegin (1823-31), a verse novel that describes a shallow, pleasure-loving man's insensitivity to the love of a noble woman. |
