But the story will not be about his creative legacy, but about the fate of Lermontov - a professional military man. What family did Lermontov come from? How did he spend his childhood on his grandmother's estate? What do the teachers of Moscow University dislike so much about this talented young man? What did the path to becoming an officer look like for an ordinary person? How much and on what did Lermontov spend in brilliant Petersburg? Why did he go on diets? And how did Lermontov's talent unfold after being sent to the Caucasus? These and other questions are answered in the first part of Vladimir Medinsky's lecture on Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov. ❗ Remember that each like and comment promotes this video.
