Considerable interest has been shown in the relationship between illness and creativity. A study of life of A. V. Koltsov, a famous Russian poet of the nineteenth century, can make a valuable contribution to this subject because he was, to a most unusual extent, a self-made man. Unlike most "men of achievement", he did not come from an eminent family or a famous educational establishment. He was born in a small provincial town, on the fringe of the civilized world, and he spent less than eighteen months at school. If there is such a thing as "natural genius", Koltsov has a strong claim to be considered in this category. His life was also profoundly influenced by mental and physical disorders, and it is interesting to speculate on whether there may have been a connection between these and his great achievements.
人们对疾病与创造力之间的关系表现出了浓厚的兴趣。对19世纪俄罗斯著名诗人A. V. 科尔佐夫一生的研究，能为这一课题做出有价值的贡献，因为在极大程度上，他是一个白手起家的人。与大多数“有成就的人”不同，他并非出身显赫家庭，也没有就读于著名的教育机构。他出生在一个地处文明世界边缘的外省小镇，在校学习时间不到18个月。如果存在“天生的天才”这种说法，科尔佐夫极有资格被归入此类。他的一生也深受身心疾病的影响，推测这些疾病与他的伟大成就之间是否存在某种联系，是很有意思的。
