Between 1829 and 1841—in just twelve years—Russia lost three of its most remarkable poets. On January 30, 1829, Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov died tragically. He was brutally torn to pieces by a crowd that attacked the Russian embassy in Tehran. On January 27, 1837, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was mortally wounded in a duel. On July 15, 1841, 27-year-old Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov was shot in a duel near Pyatigorsk. All three lived, created, acted as their conscience told them, without regard to the fact that their actions could cost them their lives. The author of the well-known “Uncombed Biography” of Pushkin, Leonid Arinshtein, brilliantly and fascinatingly talks about this amazing internal connection between the poetic gift and the sense of honor and dignity in this book. The chapter on the death of Griboyedov in Tehran is written on the basis of Iranian and English sources, first brought into research by the author of the book this topic. In the chapters about the death of Pushkin and Lermontov in a duel, both investigative materials and numerous letters and testimonies of contemporaries are used in their entirety. For the widest range of readers.
