One of Russia's most celebrated poets of all times, Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his childhood and youth in Tarckany, in the province of Penza.
In 1830 Lermontov entered the Moscow University, but very soon he had to leave it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for his poem "Poets Death". In 1840 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for the second time. He was provoked into personal quarrel with his schoolmate. The quarrel led to a duel. On July 15th, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not even 27 at that time.
Lermontov began writing when he was very young. One of his first writings to be published was his verse tale "Hadji Arbek".
But he won fame as a poet after his poem "Poets Death" was published. Lermontov's poems "Demon" "Mtsyri" his great novel "A Hero of Our Time" and his play "Masquerade" are masterpieces of Russian literature.
Whether he wrote poetry, drama or prose, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his works. Lermontov's influence as of a poet and a thinker on all Russian writes can't be overestimated.
I am now fifteen years old. As an ordinary teenager, I can not say that I managed to see the world, but I have been in many cities abroad, life, customs and traditions which I liked. If all of the cities where I have traveled, to take only the best and combine it all in one city of my dreams, and then a little dream and dream, you get my perfect image of the city. How then is it going to be? The city of my dreams must have fresh air, full of unknowns different flavors. Green bushes trimmed to the streets in the form of unusual shapes, flower beds. The city has many parks and gardens, which are always crowded and fun, people can just sit among the park on the green lawn, talking or reading an interesting book. The parks many trees - tall and fabulous, over which the butterflies fly colorful, and lots of flowers. Flowers grow very quickly. Their warm waters, gentle rain that seemed in order, drops twice a week. Therefore streets buried in the abundant flowers. But most of the city is sunny, but the heat is not necessary to be afraid, because the sun warms it in moderation. Children in special attention. There are a lot of playgrounds, sports facilities, skating rinks, parks, pools, slides winter for downhill skiing and sledding. All this must be the younger generation, because if young people from early childhood to the right spend their free time, the future of the city is waiting for the comfort and prosperity. Holidays in the city decorated with ribbons, flowers and balloons. In the main square arrange concerts visiting musical bands. Once a week - Carnival! All are obliged to sing, dance, have fun ... In short, do not miss. And most importantly, children and parents to be together. Leaving the city, the surrounding beauty of the eyes rejoices: small hills covered with pine trees, a stream of clear clean water, to hear only the noise of a waterfall and birds singing nearby. Laws in contributing to the welfare and well-being of its inhabitants. So in almost no poor and disadvantaged. Here live honest, courageous, kind, honest and happy people. About unemployed and homeless there can be no question. All in working to his satisfaction and a good, not chasing after money and helping each other. The city did not know what tears, because there is no crying. Do not speak coarse, insulting and sad words. About all they have long forgotten. Diseases and if there is, it is very rare. Residents are proud that their city - a paradise. All the streets, squares, alleys brightly lit city. Sidewalks paved with tiles of one color and the other roadway. Equipped with convenient stops. Buildings do not like each other, each original. Residents of homes arrange competitions, whose house better. Across the city set garbage containers. The city's population serves modern new environmentally friendly transportation. Maybe someone will say, "rozmriyalas!" But, whatever it was, we all dream about one thing - peace, harmony, happiness and prosperity. To live honestly and openly and strive for the best. And most importantly, I think - no one will build a brighter future, except ourselves. It is only necessary to make common cause, call a friend for help, and then I am sure, dreams can become reality!
