Pushkin
If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't be anxious! (Easier said than done)
Pushkin's full name was Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin, and at a glance at such a long name he knew he was a nobleman. His wife was Natalia Nikolaivna Goncharova, whose name was longer than Pushkin's, and who was also of aristocratic origin.
The duel between Pushkin and Dantes on February 8, 1837, culminated in the fall of the "Sun of Russian Poetry" at the age of 38.
The feud between Pushkin and Dantes stemmed from Pushkin's wife, Natalia Goncharova. Natalia was very good-looking, and on February 18, 1831, Pushkin married Natalia. Subsequently, the couple lived together for 6 years and had 5 children.
Pushkin's wife, "Russia's first beauty"
But the appearance of the young French Dantes undermined the tranquility of Pushkin's family. Dentist is athletic and dashing, but is considered a womanizer. On June 17, 1835, the Pushkins met Dantes by chance. Subsequently, with the support of the Tsar, Dantes began to pursue Natalia wildly, and for a time, rumors between Natalia and Dantes became popular in the Russian upper class at that time.
Dantes
For the sake of his wife and for his own honor, Pushkin finally chose a duel to settle his feud with Dantes, and sacrificed his young life for this.
Galois
Genius mathematician Galois, a genius mathematician less than 21 years old, ended his young life in a duel "born of love" in the form of "Russian roulette". The manuscript of the night before his duel had to keep later mathematicians busy for hundreds of years.
The duel was caused by the daughter of the doctor who had lived in the inn, and Garowar took the initiative to provoke the duel. The people who dueled with Galois were two "patriots". According to Dumas's memoirs, the duelist was officer D'Elbinville. But according to a newspaper report a few days after the duel, the duel with Galois was a member of the Friends of the People, a member of the "Friends of the People", who was arrested with him, and his good friend Dusattré.
Because it was a duel of friends, instead of firing pistols at gunpoint, they used "Russian roulette", in which they shot each other at each other with the muzzle of their guns, and only one of the guns was loaded with bullets. In the dueling arena, he was punched through the gut. In the early morning of May 30, 1832, he passed away, and the youngest and most creative mind in the history of mathematics stopped thinking.
Before that famous duel, Galois knew his opponent's marksmanship and his own fate very well, so he wrote letters to his friends overnight, hastily sketching out his life's mathematical research experience, and attaching a manuscript of his thesis.
His death, which delayed the development of mathematics for decades, said in a letter to his friend Chevalier: "I have made some new discoveries in analysis. Some are about equation theory; some are about integral functions... To publicly appeal to Jacobi or Gauss is not to express an opinion on the correctness of these theorems, but on their importance. I hope that in the future, someone will find that these are beneficial for eliminating all relevant confusion. Before he died, he said to his brother who was crying next to him: "Don't cry, I need enough courage to die at the age of 20." Later generations of mathematicians and historians lamented his death, and one of the world's most outstanding mathematicians was killed when he was 20 years old, and he had only been studying mathematics for five years.
Lermontov
Shortly after Pushkin's death, the poet Lermontov, who admired Pushkin, wrote The Death of the Poet, which blamed the tsarist government as the culprit and passed it on as a famous work, but Lermontov eventually died in a duel.
The Death of a Poet
O greedy bunch of you who flock to the throne,
Strangle the free, the genius, the glorious butcher!
You hide under the shadow of the law
Justice and justice have always been silent on you!
To this end, Tsar Nicholas I sent Lermontov to the Caucasus region in the midst of war. When he returned to the Caucasus again, he met his old comrade-in-arms Nikolai Martinov, a rather superficial fellow who was bent on maneuvering among the local aristocratic maidens.
He used Martinov as a target for ridicule, and Martinov was able to hide it until the poets began to laugh at him in front of women. So because of a misunderstanding, a duel between old friends took place.
On July 15, at the foot of Mount Mashuk, Lermontov deliberately missed his hand, while Martinov hit the target. The 27-year-old poet died instantly. "The despicable man died at the hands of the despicable," Tsar Nicholas said after learning the news, but a few minutes later said, "The man who could take pushkin's place is dead." "
Surprisingly, in his most famous novel, The Contemporary Hero, completed a year before his death, Lermontov depicts a duel between the protagonist, Bicholin; the opponent is Grushnitsky, who is manipulating right and wrong, and whose personality is very similar to That of Martinov. In the novel, Bichorin kills Glushnitsky, but in reality the result is diametrically opposed.
