VTG USSR enamel street platestreet named after AS Pushkin .Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on June 6, 1799 (May 26, old style) in Moscow into a noble landowner family (his father was a retired major) on the day of the Ascension Day. On the same day, Emperor Paul’s granddaughter was born, in whose honor prayers were held in all churches and bells rang. Thus, by coincidence, the birthday of the Russian genius was marked by general popular rejoicing. The poet’s birthplace, Moscow, is also symbolic - the very heart of Russian life, Russia. The future poet was baptized on June 8 in the Church of the Epiphany in Yelokhov.Pushkin's father Sergei Lvovich and mother Nadezhda Osipovna, née Hannibal, were distant relatives. The ardent passions that guided the ancestors on both the paternal and maternal lines also influenced Pushkin. The family (besides Alexander there were also children Olga and Lev) belonged to the most educated part of Moscow society.In their house, or more precisely, in the apartment that Pushkin’s parents rented, poets, artists, and musicians gathered. The general gallomania that dominated society, French upbringing in a family with French tutors (fortunately, they were successfully balanced by the poet’s grandmother Maria Alekseevna and the famous nanny Arina Rodionovna), access to the excellent libraries of her father, as well as the poet’s uncle V.L. Pushkin and distant relatives Buturlins - shaped the mind and childish soul of Pushkin. The poet wrote his first poems in French. His nickname at the Lyceum was "Frenchman".
