Russian poet and diplomat, a conservative publicist
December 5, 1803 - July 27, 1873

The poetic talent of Fyodor Tyutchev very long time not been appreciated. Tyutchev's poetry did not think his main kind of activity, and in general was very scattered. He could write a poem on a piece of cloth and leave on the table, could even without writing to tell someone and immediately forget. The first book of poems Tyutchev published in print only in 1854 when the writer was already 51 years old. Even this publication would not take place, if Turgenev Tyutchev not persuaded to publish his poems.

Fyodor Tyutchev was born (November 23) December 5, 1803 in the province of Orel, the son of an old noble family. Having a decent home-schooling, he entered the department of literature at Moscow University, who successfully graduated in 1821.

Most of the life Tyutchev held in Munich, there married the Bavarian aristocrat, Countess Botmer. Their house was visited by many famous German poets and philosophers of the time. Tyutchev was familiar with Heine and Schelling. Poems first he personally translated into Russian, the second led a fierce philosophical debates. Life in Germany is largely influenced the creation of the Tyutchev. His philosophical poetry in spirit much closer to the sample of German poetry, rather than Russian.

An interesting and personal destiny Tyutchev. Officially, he was married twice and both times, his wives became German aristocrat, did not understand a single word in Russian. From the second of his beloved, Ernestine Dernberg, Tyutchev became friends while still married to Eleanor Botmer, his first wife. Wife died soon after - cheating husband and the collapse of the ship on which she sailed with the children in Turin, heavily crippled her health. Tyutchev spent the night at the tomb of Eleanor and the morning was quite gray. Nevertheless, the very next year he married Ernestine.

Despite this, in the life of Tyutchev was another good novel - a love for Elena Alexandrovna Denisiev. The girl was the same age as his daughter, and she studied with her at the Smolny Institute. "Secret Marriage" Denisiev and Tyutchev was concluded in July 1850. After their relationship became known in the world, from Denisiev renounced his father, she was forced to leave college and live in a rented apartment, but she's does not seem too interested. She threw herself into the maelstrom of emotions with his head, and all devoted themselves Tyutchev. In May 1851 a girl was born Denisiev, which was named in honor of his mother Helen. At the insistence of the mother the girl wrote down the name of the father.

His last years were difficult for Elena Alexandrovna. Forces ebbed, made itself felt consumption. In August 1864, Lelia died at the hands of Fedor.

A Tyutchev lived her for 9 years and died (15) July 27, 1873 in Tsarskoye Selo. The coffin of the poet was taken from Tsarskoye Selo in St. Petersburg and was buried in the cemetery of Novodevichy Convent.

We can not predict
How do our words resound, -
And we give sympathy,
As we are given a grace ...

Wasted effort - no, they did not repent -
More liberal, so they went
Civilization - fetish for them,
But is not available to them her idea.

As to her not to rot, ladies and gentlemen,
You do not gain recognition from Europe:
In her eyes you will always
Not servants of Education, and slaves.

Mind of Russia do not understand
Common yardstick does not measure:
She has become very special -
In Russia one can only believe.
