Pushkin and the Romanovs. Great Dynasties in the Mirror of the Era

Russia is a sacred country for the heirs of the great and tragic family - like a magnet, it will gather them all in the 21st century for a truly royal anniversary: the 400th anniversary of the House of Romanov! The witnesses of the 100th anniversary of the ruling House, which coincided with the reign of Peter I, were the direct ancestors of Pushkin: among them were Peter the Great's Moor Abram Gannibal and the poet's great-great-grandfathers. The years of Alexander Pushkin's apprenticeship coincided with a memorable date - the 200th anniversary of the ruling House. The poet's children participated in the celebration of the glorious 300th anniversary of the royal family... And the Romanovs - the autocrats and their heirs - had the opportunity to celebrate two Pushkin anniversaries: the 100th, and quite recently, the 200th that is fresh in the memory of each of us. Perhaps there was not a country in the world that did not honor the memory of the poet. Truly, in Pushkin's words, it has come to pass - "The Clear Genius of the World."

Without the Pushkins and the Romanovs, there is no history of Russia. The branches of family trees have intertwined in the centuries in the most whimsical way. They cannot be separated...
