ⓘ About Mikhail Lermontov
He was born in Moscow into the Lermontov family, and he grew up in the village of Tarkhany (which is now Lermontovo in Penza Oblast). Mikhail’s paternal family descended from the Scottish family of Learmonth, and can be traced to Yuri Learmonth, who was a Scottish officer in the Polish-Lithuanian service that settled in Russia during the middle of the 17th century. Yuri, Mikhail’s dad, followed a military career. Having moved up the ranks to captain he married Maria Arsenyeva, age sixteen, who was the wealthy young heiress of a prominent aristocratic Stolypin family. Mikhail’s maternal grandma regarded this marriage as a mismatch and deeply disliked her son-in-law. She died at the age of 21, after the couple grew apart.
