And who can remember from his youth that all these works were written<\/a> at the height of the cholera epidemic of 1830?<\/p>\n

How Alexander Pushkin got into the backwoods far away from his friends<\/h4>\n

Pushkin and Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova were engaged in may 1830. He obtained<\/a> the consent to the marriage only from the third request. The financial affairs of the bride were so up the spout that Alexander Sergeyevich himself had to earn money for the dowry which he allegedly received. Sergey Lvovich found<\/a> with difficulty a not mortgaged estate that he could give to his son.<\/p>\n

Boldino is a village of 500 souls. The father allocated<\/a> to the son a nearby village Kistenevka, a part of Boldino estate. \u201cCollegiate Secretary Alexander Sergeev, son of Pushkin\u201d hastened to draw it up in a separate possession and pawn to get money for the wedding. For this reason, he arrived in Nizhny Novgorod province in September. He was forced to stay there for two months due to cholera quarantine.<\/p>\n

Why should we take the poet for a model?<\/h4>\n
He didn’t lose composure<\/h5>\n

Alexander Sergeevich wrote two dozen of letters during the autumn in Boldino. He made up<\/a> with the bride. Natalia Nikolaevna agreed to marry without a dowry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the writer did not forget about literary and critical practice. He asked<\/a> Pogodin who was the publisher of the \u201cMoscow Vedomosti\u201d to send his tragedy \u201cMarfa, Posadnitsa Novgorodskaya\u201d for criticism. And in response, Pushkin sent a poem \u201cThe Hero\u201d\u00a0written on the occasion of the appearance of Nicholas I in cholera Moscow. The poet was not embarrassed to speak out against the regime naming himself but he wanted to publish the \u201capocalyptic song\u201d with approval of the autocrat’s actions anonymously.<\/p>\n

Pushkin willingly wrote many poems in Boldino. Autumn was the most fruitful time for him. The author was glad to be unexpectedly free to write what he wished and walk where he could. That feeling was expressed<\/a> to his friend Pletnev in letters.<\/p>\n

Pushkin approved of getting information in time<\/h5>\n

He read the cholera bulletins named \u201cThe Bulletin on the State of the Moscow City\u201d which were published in the \u201cMoscow Vedomosti\u201d. The suspense tormented him. Alexander Sergeyevich was worried<\/a> about the health of his family and the bride. He asked her to write regularly and was upset when the letters were long. Natalya Nikolaevna’s reply of October 1, he received<\/a> on the October 26th. All suspicious and unverified information about the disease was rejected by him. A year earlier Pushkin had been<\/a> to Arzrum where he had seen an outbreak of the plague, so he knew that the picture of devastation and the number of victims were often exaggerated.<\/p>\n

While there were no letters from Goncharova, the poet repeatedly tried to find out where the bride was. He was angry and concerned about her staying in Moscow and advised her to go to the country. Pushkin recalled a trip to the Caucasus and asked<\/a> Natalia Nikolaevna to be careful and avoid cholera places. He also tried<\/a> to go to Moscow and connect with his beloved. He was ready to stay in quarantine for as long as it would be necessary, though the poet did not visit the cordoned-off areas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
