A. S. Pushkin is the greatest Russian poet. But I hope no one is challenging the view that he occupies an outstanding place in Russian literature and culture.

Every summer in June, thousands of people visit the Pskov land. They come here to the village of Mikhailovskoye to the wonderful festival of poetry, to see the places where he lived and worked.

Pushkin is always alive for us, he is the man we all know and love, the greatest of poets. Generations come and go, but Pushkin still remains. We are all grateful to Pushkin for each line of his works. Pushkin is not only a great poet for us. He is the perfect man combining brilliant talent with civil courage. His name is associated with our love for the Motherland, and the best in our life.

Hundreds of new concepts, hundreds of new words have appeared in the language in the years that have passed since his death, but not a single word of his poetry has become obsolete. Everything written by Pushkin continues to live. It has not become something of the past, it does not need any corrections and hardly needs commentary. His feelings and his views still correspond to our own feelings and views.

We admire the great world of Pushkin's poetry as a whole, each of us finding some special lines for ourselves, lines showing his sympathy and respect for his people. The reader cannot imagine his inner world without him.

Beefeaters-unofficial name of the ceremonial guards of the tower of London. The official (short) English name is Yeomen Warders ("Yeomen's Guard»).

This formation was created under the Tudor king Henry VII of England and Wales. It recruits retired non-commissioned officers of the British Armed forces who have served in the military for at least 22 years and have an excellent record of service.

They have always been distinguished by their traditional loyalty and loyalty to the English Crown. For centuries the Beefeaters were responsible for the supervision of prisoners The tower of London and the protection of the Royal regalia, but over time, with zero risk of conspiracy among the nobility, they now serve as honorary guides and are themselves a landmark in London.
