The Emperor was convinced that the world was designed in such a way that we did not know the future: we could not know what would happen to us. Pushkin believed that the future was predetermined. Therefore, there were omens in his poems: he would die, a monument would be erected to him, the winter palace would burn down — he predicted this back in 1829. When the Winter blazed 8 years later, Pushkin was no longer alive. The emperor summoned the military investigator Galakhov to the fire. Not because there weren't enough hands, but because I finally decided to punish all those responsible for the poet's death. This was the only way to calm the society down, putting an end to the matter. Galakhov compiled a list of participants in the dueling conspiracy: from rejected women and dangerous rivals to an old father and a beautiful wife.
