According to exotic theory, the great Russian poet did not die, but secretly left for France, where he became a great prose writer. We checked how believable arguments look like this version.

Even absurd things at first glance can be based on convincing arguments. Here are the main theses of the theory, which can be read on on resources such as Life, "Moscow Truth", "Canobe", SM-News, And in many other sources.

1. Dumas star ascended the sky shortly after Pushkin’s death.
2. Pushkin is only three years older than his French colleague.
3. The writers were relatively similar in adulthood (dark skin, eye color, forehead, eyebrows, nose, dark curly hair) and are quite similar in youth.
4. Both stood out by bright literary talent and fertility, but were absolutely helpless in the exact sciences.
5. Both were called Alexander.
6. In honor of his imaginary killer Dantes Pushkin-Duma, as if apologizing, he called the protagonist of the novel "Count Monte Cristo."
7. Having never visited Russia, Dumas wrote the novel “The Teacher of Fencing”, in which he told in detail the history of the Decembrists and uprising of 1825. He also transferred to the French works of Pushkin.
8. According to the testimony of the second Danzas, Pushkin was not wounded in the stomach (as the official version says), but to the place between the thigh and the basin.
9. Dumas published the magazine “The musketeer”, which in Russian could mean nothing more than “Pushkin”, because the musket is a medieval gun of artillery similar to the cannon.
10. Pushkin managed to accumulate debts, and he always had problems with the authorities. There was an occasion to disappear.
11. The farewell ceremony with Pushkin at the last moment was transferred to another place, allowing only relatives and close friends, and took the poet’s body at night in a closed coffin.
And a number of arguments, from entertaining to more banal.

If you dig on the Internet, it turns out that the vast majority of arguments in favor of a conspiracy theory dates back to one source - an essay of a certain Nina Milova, located on the portal "Prose.ru" In October 2009. Milova writes about himself: “I am not a Russian writer, but rather an American economist, although I adore Russian literature and draw inspiration from it for my economic activity.” Another amateur cultural scientist added oil into the fire-in 2019 appeared on the same site Job Biologist Nikolai Voklin "was Pushkin, he became Dumas."

Even as non -professionals, Milov and Vekshin had to understand that the life of both Pushkin and Dumas, two famous cultural figures, was painted almost a minute. Moreover, the attention of the Russian writer was given to the Soviet and activities of the Russian writer in the Soviet and activities, such an assumption looks natural. Let us consider in this light some of the arguments cited by Milova and her like -minded people.

1. By the time of the death of Pushkin Dumas, he was known not only in France (yes, he had not yet written Romanov, but Dumas plays were actively published and They were placed), but also in Russia. So, in his essay in 1834, a prominent Russian literary critic Vissarion Belinsky He wrote: “... too talented, if not decisively ingenious, Alexander Dumas made a“ crazy story ”! Oh, this dissent young literature! "

2. In addition to Pushkin and Dumas, in the interval from 1799 to 1802, Balzak, Baratynsky, Dal, Hugo, Gauf and many other, less famous writers were born. This is not surprising. This is not the same as, for example, to be born in one day or one week.

3. Some external similarities (without taking into account the fact that Dumas in the second half of his life was clearly more complete than his colleague) can easily explain the presence of African roots. Grandmother Dumas was dark -skinned slave from the island of Haiti, and Pushkin's great -grandfather It came from Abyssinia (current Ethiopia), or from Cameroon. Well, the curly hair of people with a dark -skinned skin shade, to put it mildly, is not rare. The hairstyles of both were fully answered by the fashion of their time. In addition, one must not forget about the growth, which Pushkin has, according to the testimony of the artist Chernetsov, in 1832 composed about 167 cm. Dumas was enough high growth, some sources mention even 190-195 cm.

4. Indeed, Dumas Not advanced at school beyond the multiplication table, and Pushkin, according to The memories of his sister, "Arithmetic seemed inaccessible, and he often over the first four rules, especially over the division, was filled with bitter tears." However, this does not explain that Pushkin and Dumas had literary talents of completely different kinds. The Frenchman did not succeed in poetry. Pushkin, as a prose writer, although he left a noticeable mark in Russian literature, but in this capacity in the West is not considered a great master. The only novel he wrote is in verses (Eugene Onegin), while Alexander Dumas glorified precisely a large prosaic form.

6. In the French name of Edmon Dantes and Georges Dantes, they are written in different ways (Dantès and D'Anthès, respectively).

7. Dumas was really interested in Pushkin’s personality, but his notes on a distant country often called "A model of misunderstanding by visiting foreigners in Russia's features." Moreover, he made mistakes including Pushkin - for example, he wrote that he was born in the Pskov province.

8. Even Pushkin himself, falling, managed say: "It seems that my hip is fragmented." However, this did not save the poet from gangrene and damage to the intestinesas well as from medical errors.

9. A musket is not an artillery gun at all, "similar to a cannon." This is a view guns.

11. In addition to the actual death (whose witnesses were at least a few people), Pushkin was also waiting opening, also documented. Moreover, in 1953 it was produced restoration The scream of the poet, and his ashes at that time was still present there. And the absence of magnificent and open funeral is explained the will of the emperor.

There are other facts that make the theory of Milova and the Vessshin Non -serious. In particular, Dumas, before becoming famous, did not at all avoid people. For example, he was active participant The July Revolution of 1830, which has a lot of evidence. But Pushkin could not stand on Parisian barricades in July 1830, since prepared To the wedding with Natalia Goncharova. To this day in Neskuchny Garden in Moscow Saved The grotesque bridge, on which that month the poet walked with his future wife.

Thus, the theory of Pushkin's mystification organized by Pushkin in itself is an absurd conspiracy assumption containing a lot of errors.
