Poet, Soldier, Advocate, and Pushkin's Successor (Mikhail Lermontov)

[@Bergamabacht]

I appreciate the thoughtful video. Thank you!

[@apolo9300]

Keep up the good work

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

I believe had he lived a full life, he'd have been considered a better poet than Pushkin

[@ulfathabibova5845]

For sure. Lermontov was much more talented

[@NotableFigures]

Audio quality is better Writing and narration... not so much Also I just found out that I've been pronouncing "Caucasus" wrong this entire time... yes.

We have met the enemy and they are us--Pogo. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

[@HEDGme]

amazing ! thank you for the information! I enjoyed it and recalled some important details. Would like to know about his love affairs. He was a misogynist because a young woman refused him, and his mother died at a very young age. He also suffered from different neurotic diseases since childhood, and had skin problems. THANK YOU FOR TSCHAIKOVSKY. True Culture illustrated.

Dramatic.

[@DzondzulaKarakondzula]

Duels are super dumb, especially when somebody notable is challenged. He had so much to contribute, but couldn't because of some vain custom of duels, so sad...

[@shkodranalbi]

Honour was not for sale in those days

[@DzondzulaKarakondzula]

@@shkodranalbi Yeah, but some alcoholic nobody challenges somebody of note to a duel, and they have to accept? I mean, I'm sure it didn't get THAT extreme, but still...

[@ironblitz6054]

Most duels at the time never got to the point where a shot was fired. The whole purpose of the process was to gut check the duellists and give them an out and save face. Lermontov himself made it known that he planned to delope (fire wide) which was common practice at the time, Martynov just broke social convention by shooting him anyways

how the fuck is he wearing the exact same outfit in multiple portraits over a long period of time.

[@NotableFigures]

He got that military uniform drip

[@peterivankovich2990]

@@NotableFigures What`s that military uniform DRIP?

[@ironblitz6054]

He was a career military man, so most of his portraits are in his unit’s specific uniform

@@NotableFigures You used the wrong map of Russia, in those years Ukraine, Belarus, Finland and part of Poland (present) were part of the Russian Empire

[@alaskarov1297]

Why in part about prisonner of Caucasus you did not show the flag of Azerbaijan? What is wrong.. Judging by maps in your first video I can assume you are clearly pro armenian or you have someone from Armenia in your team. Please prevent this type of silly mistakes

[@NotableFigures]

My sincerest apologies if this was insensitive or offensive! That image was just a throwaway joke and I just slapped the flags of the first 3 countries I could think of onto it. Most of the images from my first 3 videos were just ripped straight from the internet as well. My videos are free from Armenian political influences (unless I am some sort of sleeper agent???)

[@monolith7310]

Wow Lermontov seems so cool and good at writing! ...unlike you

[@NotableFigures]

You fool... I am you.

[@monolith7310]

Yes
