One of Russia's most celebrated poets of all times, Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his childhood and youth in Tarckany, in the province of Penza.
In 1830 Lermontov entered the Moscow University, but very soon he had to leave it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for his poem "Poets Death". In 1840 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for the second time. He was provoked into personal quarrel with his schoolmate. The quarrel led to a duel. On July 15th, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not even 27 at that time.
Lermontov began writing when he was very young. One of his first writings to be published was his verse tale "Hadji Arbek".
But he won fame as a poet after his poem "Poets Death" was published. Lermontov's poems "Demon" "Mtsyri" his great novel "A Hero of Our Time" and his play "Masquerade" are masterpieces of Russian literature.
Whether he wrote poetry, drama or prose, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his works. Lermontov's influence as of a poet and a thinker on all Russian writes can't be overestimated.
Суто я вважаю, що в першу чергу, в нашому двадцять першому столітті потрібно бути наполегливим та стійким. Не боятися висловити свою власну точку зору і слухати тільки свої думки та серце. Бути терплячім теж дуже важливо, адже так швидко, як іноді нам хочеться, нічого не робиться, тому потрібно вміти чекати. Справедливість, на жаль, притаманна не кожному з нас і багато людей у наш час думають в першу чергу тільки за себе. Та інколи потрібно враховувати і смаки інших, намагатися якомога правильніше така чесніше «розв‘язати» будь-яку ситуацію, аби усім було комфортно.
Purely I believe that first and foremost, in our twenty-first century it is necessary to be persistent and courageous. Do not be afraid to express their own point of view and listen only to their thoughts and heart. Being patient is also very important, because as fast as sometimes we want, nothing is done, so you need to be able to wait. Fairness, unfortunately, is not inherent to each of us and many people in our time think first and foremost only for themselves. But sometimes it is necessary to take into account the tastes of others, to try as much as possible to "unleash" any situation, so that everybody was comfortable
