Pushkin in Eritrea: Backgrounds on Alexander Pushkin!
Alexander Pushkin was born on 6 June 1799 in Moscow and he was shot on 29 January 1837. He is known as Russia's greatest poet, considered the founder of the modern Russian literature and he originated the nuanced level of language using the Russian language in the way it is spoken.
His mother Abram Hannibal was the granddaughter of Abraham Hannibal who served in the Russian Army and navy. Some stories told by Pushkin himself in his tales, stories and novels or by the others say that the grandfather was abducted from Africa while he was a child at the age of seven.
Ottoman Empire trade slaves and their descendants still live on coasts of the Black Sea. The slave traders took Pushkin's grandfather in 1703 to Constantinople in chains, with other frightened captives.
Czar Peter the Great heard advices by his fiends to bring African to Russia for hard labour. Among those was Abram Petrovich Gannibal. It is possible the letter H in his last name (Hannibal) has changed to G.
The tsar adopted the child and he became Peter's porter. However, Peter educated him in Saint Petersburg to acquire good jobs as a soldier, diplomat and mathematician. He became general in chief and military engineer responsible of building canals and forts in Russia.
In France, he knew Voltaire and Montesquieu who called him the "dark star of Russia's enlightenment."
Pushkin published his first poem at the age of fifteen. He wrote also plays, stories and novels you can read through this page.

Pushkin's Fairy Tales (In Russian language)
Under the Sky of My Africa: Alexander Pushkin and Blackness - Catharine Theimer Nepomnyashchy (Editor), Nicole Svobodny (Editor), Ludmilla A. Trigos (Editor), Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Foreword)
Roughly in the year 1705, a young African boy, acquired from the seraglio of the Turkish sultan, was transported to Russia as a gift to Peter the Great. This child, later known as Abram Petrovich Gannibal, was to become Peter's godson and to live to a ripe old age, having attained the rank of general and the status of Russian nobility.
More important, he was to become the great-grandfather of Russia's greatest national poet, Alexander Pushkin. It is the contention of the editors of this book, borne out by the essays in the collection, that Pushkin's African ancestry has played the role of a "wild card" of sorts as a formative element in Russian cultural mythology; and that the ways in which Gannibal's legacy has been included in or excluded from Pushkin's biography over the last two hundred years can serve as a shifting marker of Russia's self-definition.
Selected Lyric Poetry - Alexander Pushkin
It is most fitting that Northwestern University Press, long a leading publisher of Russian literature in translation, launches the "Northwestern World Classics" series with a new translation of Russia's greatest poet.
Included are many famous poems well known to, and often memorized by, every educated Russian, as well as lighter, more occasional pieces. Born in Moscow in 1799, Alexander Pushkin was already a literary star by the time he graduated from the Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoe Selo.
Pushkin gradually turned to social reform and advocated literary radicalism, and he was eventually exiled to southern Russia. During this time, he wrote "Boris Godunov", but it was not published until years later. His novel in verse, "Eugene Onegin", was published serially from 1825 to 1832. He died in 1837 from wounds sustained in a duel.

Alexander Pushkin,
the Black father of Russian literature.
https://afrolegends.com/2010/03/30/alexander-pushkin-the-black-father-of-russian-literature/
Yes… that’s right! Alexander Pushkin, the father of modern Russian literature, was in reality Black. His great-grandfather was actually an African slave, Abram Petrovich Gannibal, who later became a general to “Peter the Great”.
The regional origin of Gannibal is often contested as it is often said that he was born in 1696 in the village of “Logon” in modern-day Eritrea (a statue of Pushkin was erected in Asmara in 2009), while others claim that he was from the Logone-Birni area in Cameroon (possibly from the Kotoko kingdom or the Kanem-Bornu Empire). Today, most agree that he was actually from Cameroon. Interestingly enough, Alexander himself was very proud of his African ancestry.
Just to give you a time frame, Pushkin lived from 1799 to 1837 in Russia, and even wrote a book about his great-grandfather entitled “Peter the Great’s Negro,” also known as “Blackamoor of Peter the Great.”
He is considered to be the greatest Russian poet and pioneered the use of vernacular speech in his poems, plays, mixing both drama and romance. Alexander Pushkin introduced Russia to all the European literary genres. He brought natural speech and foreign influences to create modern poetic Russian.
Even though he lived a short life, he left examples of nearly every literary genre of his day: lyric poetry, narrative poetry, the novel, the short story, the drama, the critical essay, and even the personal letter. He lived a life entirely based on his favorite quote: “Live by the pen, die by the sword.” He lived a very provocative life, and was a real playboy. He died in a duel.
Monuments have been erected in Russia, in St Petersburg, Moscow, and schools do carry his name. PBS did a piece on Frontline, entitled Pushkin Genealogy. It is said that Leo Tolstoy‘s book’s character Anna Karenina is based on Pushkin’s daughter (Maria Gartung), whom Tolstoy described as being extremely beautiful and intelligent.
Check out some of his books on Amazon: Eugene Onegin, The Queen of Spades, Boris Godunov, and others… Check out Wikipedia to learn more about the father of modern Russian literature.
