Features: After Pushkin was born for half a year, he entered a new century. Just as his mother said at a New Year's Eve party after his birth, "Look at him crossing the threshold of a new century! Look at him living in the new century!" How could this be a new century full of dramatic historical changes! During the period when Pushkin studied at the Imperial Lyceum, a school for cultivating political talents by the Tsarist government (1811-1817), he was not only fortunate to receive guidance from progressive teachers and read a large number of progressive books, but also made friends with those with advanced ideas, including the outstanding thinker, Colonel Chaadaev, who was stationed in the Imperial Guard cavalry regiment in the Imperial Lyceum, as well as his classmate, Ivan Pущин, and Chukhrai, among others; especially the patriotic passion that gathered in the war against Napoleon in 1812 also spread throughout the campus of the aristocratic children.
