For many people, Alexander Sergeyevich is a talented writer. That's just his contemporaries had a slightly different opinion about Pushkin.
The moral image of the poet left much to be desired; he loved women too. Alexander Sergeevich made novels with young girls and married ladies, did not hesitate to pronounce the names of his mistresses aloud.
The “Don Juan list” of the poet has even reached our days. Ladies Pushkin rating was in the album of Elizabeth Ushakova in 1829. It listed all the women with whom he had a close relationship. The poet called his wife Natalia Goncharova the 113th love.
If we assume that Pushkin never cheated on his wife, and she was his last woman (and this is not so), then a pretty impressive list is nevertheless obtained.
This article will focus only on 10 hobbies of the poet. These are women who played a huge role in the life of Pushkin.
10. Princess Golitsyna
Evdokia Ivanovna was a rich woman. Every night she had a celebration. The famous fortuneteller predicted a woman's death in the dark, so she was afraid to go to bed. In her salon one could meet the most intelligent people of Russia, French emigrants, future Decembrists.
Pushkin fell in love with Evdokia at first sight, but she was 20 years older than him, the poet was 18. She accepted his love, but still did not become the “next trophy” of the young don Juan.
Soon, these meetings ceased, but Pushkin and Golitsyna did not forget about each other. She helped him when Alexander was sent into exile. The woman helped the poet to be sent to Odessa. He, too, often recalled her.
9. Princess Volkonskaya
Pushkin met young Maria when he was serving a link in the south of the country. The girl is the daughter of General Raevsky. The poet was struck by her beauty, dedicated several poems to her. Maria herself will later consider that the image of Tatyana Larina was written off from her.
Little is known about the relationship between Pushkin and Raevskaya. Some sources indicate that there was a long secret love between them. There are those who have the opposite opinion, namely that Mary was unrequitedly in love with Pushkin.
In any case, this woman had a great influence on the poet's work. She dedicated the poem "Poltava" to her. Maria, then already Princess Volkonskaya, went into exile for her husband Decembrist. This act struck Pushkin.
8. Ekaterina Orlova
Another "hidden love" of the poet. Alexander Sergeyevich met her when he was still in high school. The girl was distinguished by a strong character, was smart, versed in literature, knew languages. Pushkin liked to meet with her, they could talk for several hours in a row, often spent time alone.
Catherine did not want anyone to know about their relationship, but they did not always succeed in hiding the huge interest in Pushkin's person. She was interested in the work and life of the poet.
It is known that Pushkin liked to draw portraits on the margins of his drafts. So among them very often there is a portrait of Orlova. She is also on the list of Pushkin, listed as Katerina III.
7. Aglaia Davydova
Once, Alexander Davydov invited his friend to visit his estate. He did not yet know that he had made an unforgivable mistake. The young poet met his wife and charmed her.
It is worth noting that the woman was not very special chastity, and Pushkin was not her only lover. The details of their connection are unknown, but judging by the poems and epigrams that the poet dedicated to her, they did not part with their friends.
He made fun of her, called her windy, innocent, and pointed to a "venerable" age. Pushkin wanted to offend Aglaya as painfully as possible. Surely he felt some feelings for her, and she offended him. If Pushkin were indifferent to her, he would never have written "Coquette."
6. Elizaveta Khitrova
But the daughter of Mikhail Kutuzov was very much attached to Pushkin. The name Elizabeth is on the list of Pushkin, but it is not known whether the poet had her in mind.
Alexander Sergeevich called the girl "the most brilliant socialite." He perceived her as an older sister, girlfriend. She went crazy with love, wrote letters to him, sent gifts. The poet laughed at her, complained that she was chasing him. That's just Elizabeth herself, he wrote letters of a completely different nature.
When Elizabeth found out that Pushkin decided to marry, she was very upset. The girl wrote him a letter. She wanted the poet to know: she was ready for anything for him.
5. Sophia Pushkina
A distant relative of the poet, was considered perhaps the most beautiful Moscow young lady. Pushkin met her in 1826, he then arrived from exile. When I saw her, I could not overcome the surging feelings. It was love at first sight.
Indeed, the girl was very good. Pushkin always easily communicated with the ladies, and under Sofya he was embarrassed and blushed. The poet even tried to propose to her.
He wrote a letter to Zubkov and asked him to marry Sophia. Apparently he did not take any action, but maybe it was too late. One way or another, when Pushkin returned to Moscow, Sophia was already engaged to another.
4. Anna Kern
Pushkin devoted the legendary “wonderful moment” to this woman. It seems that their romance was built on exalted feelings, but no. Anna was married, their relationship with the poet was fleeting. First, Pushkin became interested in beauty, especially since she did not show interest in him.
Alexander Sergeyevich fell in love, he devoted poetry to the girl, he was jealous, he suffered. After two years, the situation has changed, now Pushkin called her the "Babylonian harlot."
In fact, he allowed himself much more, disgraced her in every possible way and told everyone about their connection. Anna then moved to Petersburg, left her husband, her reputation was spoiled.
3. Anna Olenina
This woman could become Pushkin's wife, but rejected his offer. Venison - maid of honor of the imperial court, a very beautiful and intelligent woman immediately attracted the attention of the poet. He fell in love. However, Anna also felt sympathy for Alexander Sergeyevich, but did not allow her feelings to defeat her mind.
The girl wanted to get married, but realized that Pushkin's candidacy was not the most suitable. Venison looked at him and did not find in him those qualities that are inherent in a good husband. In addition, the parents were against it, so Anna replied to the proposal of Pushkin: "No."
2. Agrafena Zakrevskaya (Tolstaya)
A passing hobby. Agrafena is the wife of Arseny Andreevich Zakrevsky, a statesman and military figure. Even such a man could not pacify passionate nature.
Agrafena had many lovers, Pushkin, too, could not resist her charms. Their connection was short-lived, but the poet repeatedly spoke of sincere love for her.
1. Natalya Goncharova
Natalia, who became the poet’s wife, completes our list. She, of course, was not his last woman, Pushkin did not shun novels after the wedding.
Alexander Sergeevich first saw Natalia at the ball, she made a great impression on him. The girl was very beautiful.
After a while, Pushkin asked for her hand, but was refused. He sought her for two years. Everything was not in vain, the girl agreed to marry him.
Pushkin had a lot of women, but Natalya occupied a certain place in his life and in his heart. No other woman could replace her.
