A. S. Pushkin is the greatest Russian poet. But I hope no one is challenging the view that he occupies an outstanding place in Russian literature and culture.
Every summer in June, thousands of people visit the Pskov land. They come here to the village of Mikhailovskoye to the wonderful festival of poetry, to see the places where he lived and worked.
Pushkin is always alive for us, he is the man we all know and love, the greatest of poets. Generations come and go, but Pushkin still remains. We are all grateful to Pushkin for each line of his works. Pushkin is not only a great poet for us. He is the perfect man combining brilliant talent with civil courage. His name is associated with our love for the Motherland, and the best in our life.
Hundreds of new concepts, hundreds of new words have appeared in the language in the years that have passed since his death, but not a single word of his poetry has become obsolete. Everything written by Pushkin continues to live. It has not become something of the past, it does not need any corrections and hardly needs commentary. His feelings and his views still correspond to our own feelings and views.
We admire the great world of Pushkin's poetry as a whole, each of us finding some special lines for ourselves, lines showing his sympathy and respect for his people. The reader cannot imagine his inner world without him.
Он является аргентинским футболистом, который в настоящее время играет за Барселону и за аргентинскую национальную сборную. Он родился 24 июня 1987 года в Росарио - это большой город в центральной Аргентине. Его отец был рабочим на заводе, а мама - уборщицей с частичной занятостью. Именно его отец обнаружил талант Лионеля. Он начал играть в футбол за местную команду, когда ему было всего пять лет. Позже он играл за местную молодежную команду, которая за следующие четыре года проиграла только один раз. В возрасте 11 лет он серьезно заболел, и на его лечение требовалось много денег. Местная команда отказывалась оплачивать лечение. Но вскоре к таланту Месси проявил интерес спортивный директор Барселоны и тот переехал в Испанию. Во время своего дебютного матча за Барселону он стал самым молодым игроком, побившим рекорд, и забившим первый гол в игре лиги. Это был его прорыв. Все последующие годы были довольно успешными для молодого Месси. Его низкий рост, быстрая хватка и безжалостный стиль атаки сравнивались с другим всемирно-известным аргентинским игроком - Диего Марадоной. Именно Лионель Месси в итоге принес успех и славу Барселонской команде. В возрасте 21 года он получил свою первую награду «Чемпион мира». Он также является обладателем золотой Олимпийской медали и многих других международных наград. На мой взгляд, его талант, мужество и волевой характер достойны восхищения.He is an Argentinean footballer, who currently plays for the Barcelona and Argentine national team. He was born on June 24th 1987, in Rosario - a large city in central Argentine. His father was a factory worker, and his mum was a part-time cleaner. His father was the one to detect Lionel’s talent. He began playing football for the local team when he was only five. Later he played for the local youth team, which lost only one game during the next four years. At the age of 11 he was diagnosed with a serious disease, which required lots of money for treatment. The local team was unwilling to pay for his treatment. But soon the sporting director of Barcelona showed interest in his talent and Messi moved to Spain. During his debut game for Barcelona he became the youngest player to break the record and to score the first goal in a league game. This was his breakthrough. All the seasons that followed after this game were rather successful for young Messi. His short stature, speed and relentless attacking style were compared with other world-famous Argentinean player - Diego Maradona. It was Lionel Messi who consequently brought success and fame to Barcelona team. At the age of 21 he received his first FIFA World Player of the Year nomination. He is also the holder of an Olympic gold medal and many other international awards. In my opinion, his talent, courage and strong-willed character are worth admiring.
