Alexander Pushkin was a Russian author of the Romantic Era, considered by some to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of Modern Russian Literature.  The State A.S.Pushkin museum is the first museum dedicated to the life and creative work of the Russian Poet Pushkin.  It was founded in 1957 on the grounds of a former mansion owned by the Kruschev-Selezniov Family.  The April meeting of the International Women's Club of Moscow was held here with tours in English, French and Russian.  I opted for the English version :)  I have a book of Pushkin's poems and short stories waiting on my Kindle as I finish Anna Karenina.
