Alexander Pushkin was born in Russia and is known as the father of modern Russian literature. He had a very special family history: his great-grandfather was Abram Petrovich Gannibal, an African boy who was brought to Russia and grew up to become a brilliant general and engineer for the Emperor Peter the Great! Alexander was very proud of his African heritage. As a young man, he began writing poems, stories, and fairy tales that captured the hearts of everyone who read them. He wrote with such beauty and imagination that he changed the Russian language forever. His words were so powerful that they inspired ballets, operas, and millions of readers. Pushkin showed that a pen and an incredible imagination can make you immortal.
