Pushkin's friends at the Lyceum. The happiest and carefree years in the poet's life

Lyceum years are the most joyous and carefree period in the life of Alexander Pushkin, the great Russian poet and prose writer of the 19th century. It was at the Lyceum that he opened his unique talent, because he began composing poems at the age of 13. Alexander Sergeevich was never a clear leader, this place was fixed for Illichevsky, but nevertheless young talent actively participated in the cultural life of the educational institution, the poet in every possible way proved his worth, although the opinion of his peers was not very much interested in him.

Pushkin's friends at the Lyceum not only could be the first to appreciate the talent of the future classic of Russian literature, but also to experience all his taunts and jeers. Close associates Alexander Sergeevich could name only three people - Wilhelm Kiichelbecker, Ivan Puschin and Anton Delvig. In recent years, the writer has come together with many coevals and older boys, but most of the time in the school he spent with these three classmates.

Ivan Ivanovich Pushchin is Pushkin's best friend in the Lyceum, and with him he shared all the hardships and sorrows. Alexander and Ivan agreed on the entrance exams, lived in the next room. Pushchyn remained faithful and devoted comrade until Pushkin's death. The boys had completely different characters, perhaps it was their attraction to each other. Alexander was too quick-tempered, vulnerable, active, but Ivan conquered with discretion, calmness, modesty and good nature.

Pushkin's friends at the Lyceum were his support and support. For example, at the end of each school day, Alexander Sergeyevich through the partition in the room told Pushchino about his problems and concerns, and he always understood and helped with advice. Many merry days together they lived, were participants and instigators of different fancies. The poet always remembered his lyceum years with warmth and joy.

Pushkin's friends at the Lyceum also shared his creative impulses. In his poetic aspirations, Alexander met with Anton Delvig. This phlegmatic, lazy and slow-moving baron loved to write poetry, but they were more for themselves than for the public. It was Alexander Sergeevich who forced the silent young man to demonstrate his creativity to everyone. Pushkin evaluated the works of Delvig, and the latter in turn was first honored to hear the new creations of the young genius. It was the unity of interests that linked these two people so unlike each other.

The Pushkin's friends in the lyceum were repeatedly subjected to shelling and sharpening of the poet. Photos of comrades of the great Russian classic have survived to this day. The educational institution brought Alexander Sergeevich with the good-natured and disinterested Wilhelm Küchelbeker. This man was most often attacked by the poet, who honed his wits on him. Once stupid, amusing and mediocre "Kyukhlya", as Alexander called him, could not stand it and called him to a duel, but everything ended in peace.

Pushkin's friends at the Lyceum also contributed to a certain extent to the development of the creative potential of Russia's future pride. Alexander Sergeevich needed support, approval, admiration, criticism, and in the end he received all this in full.
