In 1978, at the age of 13, Pushkin enrolled in the Republican Boarding School for Fine Arts for talented children named after I.O.

The painting depicts Francisk Skorina, Mikhail Kleofas Oginsky, Adam Mitskevich, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Vladimir Vysotsky.

It was the time of the emergence in Belarus of such historical and cultural youth organizations as "Toloka", which engaged in the restoration of monuments, and educational activities related to the revival of the Belarusian language and national symbols.

[3] On 31 March 1989, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the BSSR by decree amended the Administrative Code: increased responsibility for the use of unregistered symbols, such as flags, emblems, and pennants.

Another manifesto of Social Art was declared on 25 March 1991, on Freedom Day, when Ales Pushkin rode around Vitebsk on a donkey, holding a dove, to the sounds of a brass band.

He was also engaged in scenography at the Yakub Kolas Belarusian Drama Theater, and was a designer for such performances as "King Lear" by W. Shakespeare (director V. Maslyuk, 1993-94), "Frocken Julia" by Y.A.

In 1996, Pushkin painted the monumental walls of the Orthodox church in his native village of Bobr, which was rebuilt after its destruction in 1936.

The faces of the sinners bore a resemblance to real people, namely the Metropolitan Filaret and the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko.

After the fresco was shown on the RTR TV program “Vesti Nedeli” in 2005, the church authorities sent Archpriest of the Minsk diocese Nikolai Korzhich to Bobr, under whose supervision the scandalous part of the wall painting was removed.

On 26 March 2021, the General Prosecutor's Office of Belarus opened a criminal case against the artist for showing a portrait of anti-Soviet underground figure Yevgeny Zhikhar at an exhibition in the Grodno Center for Urban Life.

[8] Pushkin found out about the criminal case but did not cancel the flight from Ukraine, where he had an exhibition, and in the evening of the same day he returned home.

[12][13] On 30 March 2022, Pushkin was handed a five-year prison sentence for "incitement to racial, national or religious hatred".
