Aleksandr Pushkin
Aleksandr Pushkin, oil on canvas by Vasily Tropinin, 1827; in the National Pushkin Museum, St. Petersburg.
In 1811, Aleksandr Pushkin began his formal education at the newly founded Imperial Lyceum located in Tsarskoye Selo, a town near St. Petersburg. He studied at this institution until 1817. The town was later renamed Pushkin in 1937 to honor the poet, and the building that housed the school has since been converted into a museum dedicated to his life and work.12
