SUMMARY

We are finding very difficult appearance within Pushkin from the moral and religious point of view. His parent were marked by western point of view on life. Either his education and social life didn't add anything to his church knowledge and spiritual life. Earlier poems reveal his condition full of flounder and disunity of poet. He was falling in his spiritual life and was rising up, floundered within himself and was falling and raising up again. Religious motives appears mainly in the latter era of his life and production. They shows in poet's deeper view on human being. Moscow's metropolitan Filaret who answers to poet's question 'what to do' had massive impact on Pushkin. Poet identifies with though that everything has its reason. He accept necessity of God's will in everything. Self-will becomes the author of all world evil. In particular poems we can see spiritual way through getting used the contents of Great Lent prayers.
