A.S. Pushkin lived a relatively short, but eventful life. It is hard to imagine how many wonderful literary works could still come out of his pen, if not for the bullet with which he was mortally wounded in a duel. Alas, history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. The fatal shot took the life of a poet who went down in history as the creator of the literary Russian language.
Duel in the life of Pushkin
Researchers believe that Pushkin, born at the very end of the 18th century, took part in more than twenty duels in his short life. He shot masterly, hitting a bullet in a bullet with more than twenty steps. But in these many duels, Pushkin never started shooting first and never shed someone else's blood.
The poet by nature was not considered an evil person, but often without any apparent reason he behaved defiantly and became cocky. This distinctive feature of his character forced the police to include Pushkin on a special list of people who are outrages of public peace, prone to participate in duels.
It is possible that in this way the restless and free nature of the poet rebelled against the existing order and the hopelessness of fate.
