Question by melodehxlove: SHORT (and simple) biography of Alexander Pushkin’s life?
Something not too long, with only the main details of his life.. You know, like a really short summary.. 5-10 lines?
You can just copy-paste something from a site, link a site, or write your own.. Anything’s fine.
(By the way, I already tried Wikipedia, but the biography is a bit too long. ;] )
Thankss!

Born June 6, 1799, in Moscow, into a noble family. Took particular pride in his great-grandfather Hannibal, a black general who served Peter the Great. Educated at the Imperial Lyceum at Tsarkoye Selo, Pushkin demonstrated an early poetic gift. In 1817 was taken into the ministry of foreign affairs in Saint Petersburg; there he mingled in the social life of the capital and belonged to an underground revolutionary group. In 1820 this came to the attention of the authorities, and Pushkin was exiled to Caucasus; nonetheless, he continued to hold official posts and incurred the stern disapproval of a superior. Pushkin was dismissed from government service in 1824 and banished to his mother’s estate near Pskov. In 1826 Czar Nicholas I, recognizing his enormous popularity, pardoned him. Pushkin died February 10, 1837, from wounds that he suffered in a duel which he had fought in St. Petersburg.
