The origin of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin comes from the branched non-titled nobiliary family Pushkin, who ascended the genealogical legend to her husband ChestnuRatshe. Pushkin repeatedly wrote about his genealogy in verse and prose; He saw in his ancestors a model of a true aristocracy, an ancient family, honestly serving the fatherland, but not won the favor of the rulers and the persecuted. More than once he appealed including in art form and to the image of his great-grandfather by mother - African Abram Petrovich Hannibal, who became a servant and pupil of Peter I, and then a military engineer and general.
