It is known that Pushkin visited Tiraspol several times during the period of his Southern exile. He could have been sent to Siberia for writing caustic epigrams to power, which Alexander I himself called "outrageous poetry", but thanks to the help of N. M. Karamzin, V. A. Zhukovsky and P. Ya. Chaadaev, the writer receives leniency from the tsar and leaves to the southern provinces. Vivid local impressions made A.S. Pushkin and in later years to turn to Bessarabian images and themes. Researchers have more than 220 works written, begun and conceived by the poet during this period. There are 4 southern poems among them,  one of them "Gypsies".
