The Mikhailovskoye estate, the patrimony of Abram Gannibal, "Peter the Great's blackamoor", was first visited by A. S. Pushkin in 1817 and last visited in 1836; the poet's meetings with Mikhailovskoye spanned two decades: he came here at different periods of his life.
He created about a hundred works here, including the tragedy Boris Godunov, chapters of the novel Eugene Onegin, the poem Count Nulin, and the poems The Village, The Prophet, I Remember a Wonderful Moment..., and I Visited Again... The poet strove to come here in the most difficult moments of his life and bequeathed to be buried here, at the Svyatogorsk Monastery.
Pushkin in Mikhailovskoye is the main work of the famous Pushkin scholar Arkady Moiseevich Gordin (1913–1997). Back in 1939–1940, A. M. Gordin had the opportunity to take direct part in the creation of the first scientifically based exhibition in the Mikhailovskoye estate; in 1945–1949, he was deputy director of the Pushkin Reserve for scientific work, and in 1957–1963, deputy director for scientific work of the All-Union A. S. Pushkin Museum.
Based on extensive factual material, including archival sources, the author tells a fascinating story about the significance of Mikhailovskoye in the poet’s life. A. M. Gordin’s book was published in 1989 and has since been reprinted many times, remaining a classic of Pushkin studies to this day.
