On October 15, 1814, the poet, prose writer and playwright Mikhail Lermontov was born. The poem "The Death of the Poet", written in 1837 in connection with the death of Pushkin, brought the writer public recognition, and Lermontov's Grigory Pechorin became one of the most famous images of the "extra man" in Russian classics. Also, Lermontov was engaged in poetic translations from English, German and Polish - in Russian, he presented the poetry of Byron, Schiller, Miscavige and others. Lermontov was killed in a duel in the summer of 1841 at the 27th year of his life.
