First northern birch

Pushkin traveled across a great portion of western Russia. At the age of twenty he was sent away from his family to become a clerk in the tsar’s service in a little town south of St. Petersburg called Yekaterinoslav. Every time he was sent to a new location, he wished only to escape Russia and be a free man.
The Beautiful Natalya

Natalya was Pushkin’s prize. The “anonymous” letter brought only shame to the Pushkin family and it was serious enough to fight a duel. Once they were married it was not long after that Natalya’s two older sisters came to live with them. Over the seven years of their marriage Pushkin and Natalya had four children.

Pushkin’s legacy goes back 600 years to the time of the early Vikings. He was proud of both his father’s heritage and his mothers. The stories told by his nanny, as she sat knitting in her rocking chair, would thrill his imagination as a young boy and it allowed his mind to dream and write stories of his own.
