Lermontov Biography of the place

Watch the name of the city of Pyatigorsk on the map is inextricably linked with the name of the poet; Here he visited, being a child, here the plot of his only finished novel “Hero of our Time” was emerging and formed; He saved these places in his memory for his whole life, his life tragically ended here; In the land of Pyatigorsk, he was buried and lay in it for 8 months.

Lermontov’s work, the poet Bryusov compared with the “Daddy Meteor”. His city also illuminated his talent. He made the city recognizable. The heroes of his novel walked along the Pyatigorsk streets and paths. Tourists coming here are now walking along these streets. For the first time, Mikhail Lermontov came here when he was 4 years old in g, then in the years.

In those days, Pyatigorsk was a small settlement. Somewhere nearby, military operations and little Lermontov, falling asleep, often heard the Okliks of the sentries, whose post was on a small spur of Mount Mashuk. Sometimes shots were heard, disturbing his children's sleep. Often in the vicinity of hot waters, as Pyatigorsk was called before G, he got acquainted with the culture and customs of the Caucasian residents: he watched their holidays, folk games, and jigitovka.

Nature brought his admiration: the mountains of Beshtau and Mashuk, the snow -white chain of the Caucasian mountains, mineral springs, rocks and abysses. It was Pyatigorsk who became the source of his love for the Caucasus. Here the first time he, being a 10 year old boy, fell in love. Being an adult who came here during the exile, he carefully and deeply studied the life and morals of local residents, carefully peering into the life of a “water society”.

Beshtau near Zheleznovodsk. A talented person is talented in everything. Lermontov was not only a brilliant poet, but also an excellent artist. It was in Pyatigorsk that the first monument to Lermontov in Russia was erected. The Lermontov’s house-museum is also here, where the poet spent the last two months of his life. It is about him that "the last shelter of the poet." Pyatigorsk land gave him inspiration, and he sang it in his works.

He stained her with his blood ... On the slope of Mount Mashuk there is a monument on the site of a duel, not a single wedding in the city bypasses this place - the newlyweds are laid flowers. The author of the photo is unknown in the grotto of Diana, located in the park of the flower garden, where Lermontov’s last ball was held, prophetic words were uttered.

Pyatigorsk will forever remain a place as a memory of a freedom -loving poet. Probably there is not a single person who would have made more for the glory of Pyatigorsk, like Lermontov. As Pyatigorsk painfully described the poet in his novel: yesterday I arrived in Pyatigorsk, hired an apartment on the edge of the city, at the highest place, at the foot of Mashuk: during a thunderstorm, the clouds will fall to my roof.

Today at five in the morning, when I opened the window, my room was filled with the smell of flowers growing in a modest front garden. The branches of flowering cherries look at my windows, and the wind sometimes strews my desk with white petals. I have a wonderful view from three sides. To the west, the five -headed Beshtau turns blue like “the last cloud of a multiple storm”; Mashuk climbs north like a furry Persian hat, and closes this whole part of the sky; It’s more fun to look east: a clean, brand new town, healing keys, a different -language crowd is playing more fun, a new town is playing, and there is further - the mountains are lumbagated all blue and foggy, and on the edge of the horizon stretches a silver chain of snow peaks, starting from the Caucasus and ending with double -headed elbrus ...

It is precisely the same. A vivid impression made the city on him. There is no doubt that some of the persons with whom the poet had to meet served the prototypes of his characters described in the novel. Professor B. Eichenbaum noted that “Pyatigorsk is famous for its Lermontov places: the whole city, starting with buildings such as the famous restaurant and Lermontov’s house, and ending with the Mount Beshtau and Mashuk, are a kind of historical exhibit associated with the life, creativity and the tragic death of the great poet.” Pyatigorsk can be called the Museum of M.

The poet died for a long time, but the memory of him is alive and will always live, and the city will forever remain the place of action of his novel and the place of his death. We also recommend.
