The background of Pushkin's writing monument
Pushkin believes that poets should, like prophets, "travel all over the land and sea and illuminate people's hearts with words". After marriage, he wrote few poems, mainly prose and research works, but the Monument (1836) written half a year before his death became the summary and will of his life's poetry creation. He predicted that "my reputation will spread throughout great Russia"; "I will love the people for a long time, because I use poetry to arouse the good feelings of the people. In this cruel era, I praise freedom and pray for forgiveness and sympathy for those who have fallen. "
