Mother Konstantin lost at the age of eight. The knowledge he received in the St. Petersburg boarding houses Zhakino and Tripoli was replenished with extensive reading. The main event - years that left a deep mark in the life of the young man, was communication with the cousin, poet M. Muravyov, to whom Batyushkov was “owed to everyone”: a deep interest in antiquity and Italian literature, the need for constant spiritual work on himself.

Under the influence of this noble mentor, Batyushkov’s literary tastes formed and his “little” philosophy was formed: the meaning of life consists in love for it, in enjoying its joys and at the same time - in the ability to sacrifice; Happiness is inconceivable without a feeling of pure conscience, and the “welfare of society”, “the power of citizenship” can only be based on “good”.

Poetry interfered with his career career, service - poetry, this contradiction inevitably led to deep dissatisfaction with oneself, its poetry, gave birth to doubts in its talent and “spiritual emptiness”.

The state of internal discord was aggravated by the sensitivity of nature, aggravated pride, poor health and a foreboding of the impending tragedy “If I live for another ten years, I will go crazy with my mind the first symptoms of mental illness were found in the year.
