Lermontov's first love happened in this period, and he was deeply infatuated with E.A. Sushko Eva. He met Sushko Eva at the home of his friend A M Veleshakina. Because of her, the poet started his lyric poetry creation period on 1830.
Poetry's personality is formed in these years (1830-1832), and constant empathy is largely just about knowing yourself. At this time, the poem appeared the genre of "fragmented thinking", and the central part of the poem was constant self-analysis and self-cognition. His poems written in 1830- 183 1 began to show social themes. There are few political lyrics in the direct sense in lermontov. Social and political issues are usually integrated into his philosophical and spiritual thinking system.
1837 When Pushkin was killed in February, lermontov wrote a poem "The Death of a Poet", angrily pointing out that Pushkin's killer was the Russian upper class. This poem with strong political color shocked the Russian literary world and established the poet's position as Pushkin's successor. But hated by the reactionary czar authorities, lermontov was exiled to Gaya.
