(306 words) The poet came from a wealthy maternal family, but his father, an infantry captain, spent money on a fun, carefree life and drank himself up. Therefore, when the poet’s mother died, his grandmother took up his education.
In 1828, Mikhail became a student at the Noble boarding house at Moscow University. Later he entered the university at the moral and political faculty, but did not graduate from it, and, in the end, he studied at the school of guards cadets and ensigns. People began to recognize Lermontov as a poet when they heard the poem "On the death of a poet." For freethinking, he was sent into exile in the Caucasus.
Life tragedy was for Mikhail an unhappy love for Barbara Lopukhina. They truly loved each other. The paths of lovers would not part if it were not for gossip. People vigorously discussed the poet's fictional novel. Hearing this, Varvara decided to start life from scratch, married the rich Behmetov. Lermontov suffered, but nothing could be returned.
Mikhail Yurievich liked Ekaterina Sushkova, but their love story was very different from the previous one. Lermontov devoted poetry to the young lady, and she openly laughed at him. For a burning soul resentment, a man took revenge on the lady. After a lot of time, he tore off her wedding. The girl traded a stable, strong relationship for a short romance with the avenger.
A duel with a close friend - Nikolai Martynov provoked Lermontov. The poet has a gift - to see the naked souls of people, to know their strengths and weaknesses. Under the ladies, Mikhail began to laugh at a friend and draw caricatures on him. Martynov made a remark, and Lermontov did not want to stop. Nikolai announced the date of the fight, but no one took his statement seriously, but in vain. The writer did not apologize to a loved one and chose not to refuse shooting. The duel was violated by all criteria. Martynov could not shoot a comrade, forgive him for his stupidity, but the opinion of society had a great influence. Nikolai believed that there was no turning back. If you step back, people will laugh. Lightning sentence. Shot. Death of poet.
Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov was buried in the Pyatigorsk cemetery on July 17. Soon, at the insistence of the grandmother, the body was transferred to the native village of Tarkhany.
