The poem “To whom it is good to live in Russia” already in its title contains a question, the answer to which worried any enlightened person at the time of Nekrasov. And although the heroes of the work do not find someone who lives well, the author nevertheless makes it clear to the reader who he considers happy. The answer to this question is hidden in the image of Grisha Dobrosklonov, a hero who appears in the last part of the poem, but is far from the last in ideological terms.

For the first time, readers get to know Grisha in the chapter “Good Time - Good Songs”, during a feast, thanks to which the image of Grisha in “Who Lives Well in Russia” is initially associated with the concept of people's happiness. His father, the parish clerk, enjoys the love of the people - it is not without reason that he is invited to a peasant holiday. In turn, the clerk and sons are characterized as "simple guys, kind", along with the peasants, they mow and "drink vodka on holidays." So from the very beginning of creating the image, Nekrasov makes it clear that Grisha shares his whole life with the people.

Then the life of Grisha Dobrosklonov is described in more detail. Despite his origins from the clergy, Grisha was familiar with poverty from childhood. His father, Tryphon, lived "poorer than the seedy last peasant." Even a cat and a dog chose to run away from the family, unable to withstand hunger. All this is due to the fact that the sexton has a “light disposition”: he is always hungry and always looking for somewhere to drink. At the beginning of the chapter, the sons lead him, drunk, home. He boasts of his children, but he forgot to think about whether they are full.

It is no easier for Grisha in the seminary, where the already meager food is taken away by the "grabber economy." That is why Grisha has a “thin” face - sometimes he cannot fall asleep from hunger until the morning, everything is waiting for breakfast. Nekrasov several times focuses the reader's attention on this particular feature of Grisha's appearance - he is thin and pale, although in another life he could be a fine fellow: he has a wide bone and red hair. This appearance of the hero partly symbolizes all of Russia, which has the prerequisites for a free and happy life, but so far lives in a completely different way.

Grisha from childhood is familiar with the main problems of the peasantry: overwork, hunger and drunkenness. But all this does not embitter, but rather hardens the hero. From the age of fifteen, a firm conviction matures in him: you need to live exclusively for the good of your people, no matter how poor and wretched they are. In this decision, he is strengthened by the memory of his mother, caring and hardworking Domnushka, who lived a short century because of her labors ...

The image of Grisha's mother is the image of a Russian peasant woman beloved by Nekrasov, meek, unrequited, and at the same time carrying a huge gift of love. Grisha, her "beloved son", did not forget his mother after her death, moreover, her image merged for him with the image of the entire Vakhlachin. The last mother's gift is the song "Salty", testifying to the depth maternal love- will accompany Grisha all his life. He sings it in the seminary, where "gloomy, strict, hungry."

And longing for his mother leads him to a selfless decision to devote his life to others who are equally disadvantaged.

Note that the songs are very important for the characterization of Grisha in Nekrasov's poem "Who Lives Well in Russia". They briefly and accurately reveal the essence of the ideas and aspirations of the hero, his main life priorities are clearly visible.

The first of the songs that sound from the lips of Grisha conveys his attitude towards Russia. It can be seen that he perfectly understands all the problems that torn the country apart: slavery, ignorance and the disgrace of the peasants - Grisha sees all this without embellishment. He easily selects words that can terrify any, the most insensitive listener, and this shows his pain for his native country. And at the same time, the song contains hope for future happiness, the belief that the desired will is already approaching: “But you will not die, I know!” ...

Grisha's next song, about a barge hauler, reinforces the impression of the first, depicting in detail the fate of an honest worker who spends "honestly earned pennies" in a tavern. From private destinies, the hero moves to the image of "all mysterious Russia" - this is how the song "Rus" is born. This is the anthem of his country, full of sincere love, in which faith in the future is heard: "The army rises - innumerable." However, someone is needed who would become the head of this army, and this fate is destined for Dobrosklonov.

There are two ways, - Grisha thinks, - one of them is wide, thorny, but a crowd greedy for temptations goes along it. There is an eternal struggle for "mortal blessings". It is on it, unfortunately, that the wanderers, the main characters of the poem, are sent at the beginning. They see happiness in purely practical things: wealth, honor and power. Therefore, it is not surprising that they fail to meet Grisha, who has chosen a different path for himself, "close, but honest." Only strong and loving souls who want to intercede for the offended go along this path. Among them is the future people's protector Grisha Dobrosklonov, for whom fate is preparing "a glorious path, ... consumption and Siberia." This road is not easy and does not bring personal happiness, and yet, according to Nekrasov, only in this way - in unity with all the people - can one become truly happy. The “great truth” expressed in Grisha Dobrosklonov’s song gives him such joy that he runs home, “jumping” with happiness and feeling “immense strength” in himself. At home, his enthusiasm is confirmed and shared by his brother, who spoke of Grisha's song as "divine" - i.e. finally acknowledging that he had the truth on his side.

Artwork test

So that my countrymen And every peasant Live freely and cheerfully In all of holy Russia! N. A. Nekrasov. Who should have a good life in Russia? goodie . This image was the result of N. A. Nekrasov’s thoughts about the paths leading to the happiness of the Russian people. Truthfully, but very poetically, the poet managed to display the best character traits of Grisha - an optimistic wrestler, closely connected with the people and believing in their great and bright future. Ros Grisha in poverty. His father, Tryphon, a rural deacon, lived "poorer than the last poor peasant", was always hungry. Grisha's mother, Domna, is "an unrequited laborer for everyone who helped her in some way on a rainy day." Grisha himself studies at the seminary, which for him was a "nurse". No matter how badly they were fed in the seminary, the young man shared the last piece of bread with his mother. Grisha thought about life early, and at the age of fifteen he already knew for sure "to whom he would give his whole life and for whom he would die." In front of him, as in front of any thinking person, he clearly saw only two roads: One spacious Road - a torn one. The passions of a slave... A crowd greedy for temptation is moving along this path, for which even the thought of "a sincere life" is ridiculous. This is the road of soullessness and cruelty, because “for mortal blessings” “eternal, inhuman enmity-war” boils there. But there is also a second road: Another is narrow, The road is honest, Only strong souls, Loving souls, Go to battle, to work ... Grigory Dobrosklonov chooses this path, because he sees his place next to the "humiliated" and "offended" . This is the road of popular intercessors, revolutionaries, and Grisha is not alone in his choice: Russia has already sent a lot of its Sons, marked with the Seal of God's gift, On honest paths ... Grisha has not only a bright mind and an honest rebellious heart, he is also endowed with the gift of eloquence. He knows how to convince the peasants who listen to him and believe his words, to console them, to explain that it is not they who are to blame for the appearance of people like Gleb the traitor, but the “string”, which gave birth to both the “sins of the landowner” and the sins of Gleb and "poor Jacob". There is no support - there will be no new Gleb in Russia! Gregory understands the great power of the word better than the rest, since he is a poet. His songs raise the spirits of the peasants, delight the Vakhlaks. Still quite young Grisha can draw the attention of the disadvantaged people to the idea of ​​protest with his songs and lead him. He believes that the people's strength is "a calm conscience, truly tenacious", therefore he feels "immense strength in his chest." Grigory Dobrosklonov finds his happiness in love for the motherland and people, in the struggle for their freedom, and with this he not only answers the question of wanderers about who lives happily in Russia, but is also the personification of Nekrasov's understanding of the true purpose of his work, his life.

Grisha Dobrosklonov is fundamentally different from others actors poems. If the life of the peasant woman Matryona Timofeevna, Yakim Nagogoy, Saveliy, Ermil Girin and many others is shown in obedience to fate and the prevailing circumstances, then Grisha has a completely different attitude to life. The poem shows Grisha's childhood, tells about his father and mother. His life was more than hard, his father was lazy and poor: Poorer than the seedy Last peasant Lived Tryphon. Two little chambers: One with a smoky stove, The other a sazhen - summer, And all here is short-lived; There are no cows, no horses, There was a dog Zudushka, There was a cat - and they left. Such was Grisha's father, he least of all cared about what his wife and children eat. The deacon boasted of the children, And what they eat - And he forgot to think. He himself was always hungry, All spent on searches, Where to drink, where to eat. Grisha's mother died early, she was ruined by constant sorrows and worries about daily bread. The poem contains a song that tells about the fate of this poor woman. The song cannot leave any reader indifferent, because it is evidence of a huge inescapable human grief. The words of the song are very simple, they tell how a child suffering from hunger asks his mother for a piece of bread with salt. But salt is too expensive for poor people to buy. And the mother, in order to feed her son, waters a piece of bread with her tears. Grisha remembered this song from childhood. She made him remember his unfortunate mother, mourn her fate. And soon in the boy's heart With love for the poor mother Love for the whole Vakhlachin Merged - and for fifteen years Grigory knew for sure That he would live for the happiness of the Poor and dark Good Corner. Gregory does not agree to submit to fate and lead the same sad and miserable life that is characteristic of most people around him. Grisha chooses a different path for himself, becomes a people's intercessor. He is not afraid that his life will not be easy. Fate prepared for him the Glorious Path, the loud name of the People's Protector, Consumption and Siberia. From childhood, Grisha lived among poor, unfortunate, despised and helpless people. He absorbed all the troubles of the people with his mother's milk, therefore he does not want and cannot live for the sake of his selfish interests. He is very smart and has a strong character. And it leads him to a new road, does not allow him to remain indifferent to national disasters. Grigory's reflections on the fate of the people testify to the liveliest compassion that makes Grisha choose such a difficult path for himself. In the soul of Grisha Dobro-Sklonov, confidence is gradually growing that his homeland will not perish, despite all the suffering and sorrows that have befallen her: In moments of despondency, oh motherland! I am thinking ahead. You are still destined to suffer a lot, But you will not die, I know. The reflections of Gregory, which “poured out in song,” betray in him a very literate and educated person. He is well aware of the political problems of Russia, and the fate of the common people is inseparable from these problems and difficulties. Historically, Russia "was a deeply unhappy country, repressed, slavishly without justice." The shameful seal of serfdom has turned the common people into disenfranchised creatures, and all the problems caused by this cannot be discounted. The consequences of the Tatar-Mongol yoke also had a significant impact on the formation national character. Russian man combines slavish obedience to fate, and this is the main cause of all his troubles. The image of Grigory Dobrosklonov is closely connected with the revolutionary democratic ideas that began to appear in society in mid-nineteenth in. Nekrasov created his hero, focusing on the fate of N. A. Dobrolyubov Grigory Dobrosklonov is a type of revolutionary raznochinets. He was born into the family of a poor deacon, from childhood he felt all the disasters that are characteristic of the life of ordinary people. Grigory received an education, and besides, being an intelligent and enthusiastic person, he cannot remain indifferent to the situation in the country. Grigory understands perfectly well that now there is only one way out for Russia - radical changes in the social system. The common people can no longer be the same dumb community of slaves that meekly endures all the antics of their masters: Enough! Finished with the last calculation, Finished with the master! The Russian people are gathering strength And learning to be a citizen. The image of Grigory Dobrosklonov in Nekrasov's poem “Who Lives Well in Russia” inspires hope in the moral and political revival of Russia, in changes in the consciousness of the simple Russian people. The end of the poem shows that people's happiness is possible. And even if it is still far from the moment when a simple person can call himself happy. But time will pass and everything will change. And far from the last role in this will be played by Grigory Dobrosklonov and his ideas.

Each poet, defining a creative credo for himself, is guided by his own motives. Someone sees the meaning of their creativity in the glorification of their homeland, for someone creativity is an opportunity to express their idea of ​​the world. Russian poet Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov considered it his duty to serve the people. All his work is imbued with the ideas of protecting the Russian people from the arbitrariness of the authorities. Therefore, he saw the poet primarily as a citizen:

You may not be a poet
But you have to be a citizen...

In the poem "To whom it is good to live in Russia" - the main work of his life - the national poet Grisha Dobrosklonov becomes the central image. Nekrasov never finished this poem - an incurable illness prevented him, the symptoms of which he felt in 1876, when the work was in full swing. But the dying poet within recent months unbearable torment still wrote the last songs.

In almost all of Nekrasov's poems, one can see the image of a real citizen, which the poet sought to make an ideal for all honest people of Russia. In the poem "To whom it is good to live in Russia", the search for this ideal continues throughout the development of the action. The peasants depicted by the poet show themselves as persistent seekers of truth. After all, the plot of the work begins with how “seven temporarily liable ... got together and argued about who lives happily, freely in Russia”.

Nekrasov did not idealize the peasants, knowing that many were and "last slaves", and lackeys, and born lackeys. AT crowd scenes peasant polyphony is heard: here are drunken voices, and sympathetic exclamations, and well-aimed aphorisms. The poet, who spent time with the peasants from childhood, studied their speech well, which made it possible to make the language of the poem colorful, bright, truly creative.

Gradually from populace individual characters stand out. First, Yakim Nagoi, "drunk", "wretched" who has survived a lot in his lifetime. He is sure that it is impossible for a sober person to live in Russia - he simply cannot endure overwork. If not for drunkenness, peasant riots would not have been avoided.

Based on the moral ideals of the people, Nekrasov created images of people from the peasant environment who became fighters for the happiness of the people. And only in the final part of the work - the chapter "A Feast for the Whole World" - does the image of a national intellectual appear. This is Grigory Dobrosklonov. The poet did not have time to finish this part of the poem, but the image of the hero still looks holistic.

Grisha comes from the so-called raznochin environment, he is the son of a laborer and a deacon. Only the dedication of his mother and the generosity of the people around him did not allow both Grisha himself and his younger brother Savva "babies in the ground" decay. A half-starved childhood and a harsh youth helped him get closer to the people, determined life path young man, after all, already at the age of fifteen "Gregory already knew for sure" for whom he will die and to whom he will devote his life.

The author first puts “Bitter Songs” into the mouth of the hero, reflecting the bitter time. But already towards the end of the chapter, “Good Songs” begin to sound. The brightest are "Rus" and "Among the world of the valley." The image of Grisha Dobrosklonov embodied the features of many revolutionaries of that time, even the name of the hero is consonant with another famous surname- Nikolai Dobrolyubov. Like the revolutionary democrat, Grisha Dobrosklonov is a fighter for the interests of the peasants, he is ready to go "for the humiliated" and "for the offended" in order to be the first there.

The image of Grisha is realistic, but at the same time generalized, almost conditional. This is an image of youth looking forward, hoping for the best. He is all in the future, so the image of the hero turned out to be indefinite, only outlined. Gregory is not interested in wealth, does not care about his own well-being, he is ready to devote his life to “So that every peasant lives freely and cheerfully in all of Holy Russia!” That is why fate literary hero predetermined: life is preparing Grisha "Glorious path, loud name of the people's intercessor", but at the same time - "Consumption and Siberia". But the young man is not afraid of the upcoming trials, because he believes in the triumph of the cause, to which he is ready to devote his whole life.

Almost all the contemporaries of Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov passed through Siberia, having earned themselves consumption. Only "strong, loving souls", according to the author, embark on a glorious but difficult path of struggle for the happiness of the people. Thus, in response to main question poems: "Who in Russia is good to live?" - the author gives an unambiguous answer: to the fighters for the happiness of the people. This idea reveals the whole meaning of the poem.

• Images of landlords in Nekrasov's poem "Who should live well in Russia"
• The image of Saveliy in Nekrasov's poem "Who should live well in Russia"
• The image of Matryona in the poem "To whom in Russia it is good to live"

The image of the "people's intercessor". He is a seminarian Grisha Dobrosklonov - the son of an "unrequited laborer" and a rural deacon, who lived "poorer than the last rundown peasant." A hungry childhood, a harsh youth brought him closer to the people, accelerated his spiritual maturation and determined Grisha's life path:

... fifteen years old, Grigory already knew for sure.
What will live for happiness
Wretched and dark native corner.

In many of his character traits, Grisha resembles Dobrolyubov. Like Dobrolyubov, Grisha Dobrosklonov is a fighter for the people's happiness; he wants to be the first there, "where it is difficult to breathe, where grief is heard."

The image of Grigory Nekrasov gave an answer to the question: what should a fighter for the people's interests do?

Go to the downtrodden
Go to the offended
You are needed there.

Gregory joins the ranks of those. who is ready "to fight, to work for the bypassed, for the oppressed." Grisha's thoughts are constantly turned "to all mysterious Russia, to the people." In his soul, "with love for the poor mother, love for the whole zahlachina merged." Gregory is a faithful son of the people. In the image of Grisha Dobrosklonov, Nekrasov sees a representative of the laboring masses, who is vitally connected with it: “No matter how dark the Vakhlachina is,” no matter how crowded with corvée and slavery, the eye, “blessed, put such a messenger in Grigory Dsbrosklonov.” Concerns about personal well-being are alien to him, for him "the share of the people, their happiness, light and freedom above all."

The Nekrasov revolutionary is ready to give his life so that "every peasant lives freely and cheerfully in all of holy Russia."

Grisha is not alone. Hundreds of people like him have already come out on the "honest paths", in the battle for an "honest cause". He, like other wrestlers,

Fate prepared
glorious path,
the loud name of the People's Defender,
Consumption and Siberia.

But Grisha is not afraid of the upcoming trials, because he believes in the triumph of the cause to which he devoted his life. He knows that his homeland "is destined to suffer a lot more", but he believes that it will not perish, and therefore he feels "immense forces in his chest." He sees that a people of many millions is awakening to struggle:

The army rises
Innumerable!
The strength will affect her
Invincible!
This thought fills his soul with joy and confidence in victory.

To the main question of the poem - who lives well in Russia? - Nekrasov responds with the image of Grisha Dobrosklonov, the people's protector. That's why the poet says:

To be our wanderers under the native roof.
If only they could know what happened to Grisha.

Difficult, but beautiful is the path that Grisha Dobrosklonov follows. Only strong, loving souls enter this path. True happiness awaits a person on it, for only one can be happy, says Nekrasov, who devotes himself to the struggle for the good and happiness of the people.

• Nekrasov's poem "Who Lives Well in Russia" occupies a special place both in the history of Russian classical literature, and in the creative heritage of the poet. It is a synthesis of Nekrasov's poetic activity, the completion of many years creative work revolutionary poet.

It merged all the main lines of his poetic searches, most fully […]
• The hero of the poem is not one person, but the whole nation. At first glance, the people's life seems sad. The very enumeration of the villages speaks for itself: Zaplatovo, Dyryavino, ... and how much human suffering is in the poem! All post-reform Russia cries and groans on the pages of the poem, but there are also many jokes and jokes: “Country Fair”, “Drunk Night”. It couldn't be otherwise. In life itself, sorrow and joy go hand in hand. There are many folk images in the poem: Saveliy, Yakim Nagoi, Yermila Girin, Matryona Korchagina. All of them […]
• The result of twenty years of work was for Nekrasov the poem "Who should live well in Russia." In it, the author voiced the most important issues of the era, described the folk life of post-reform Russia. Critics call this poem an epic folk life. In it, Nekrasov created a multifaceted plot and introduced a large number of characters. As in works of folklore, the narrative is built in the form of a journey, a journey, but the main question is one: to find out the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe happiness of a Russian person. Happiness is a complex concept. This includes social [...]
• The poem "To whom it is good to live in Russia" became one of the central ones in the work of N. A. Nekrasov. The time when he worked on the poem is a time of great change. The passions of representatives of revolutionary democratic trends were seething in society. The best part of the intelligentsia supported the interests of the "populists". The poet was always worried about the fate of the people. The people's protector is one who not only pities, sympathizes with the peasants, but serves the people, expresses their interests, confirming this with actions and deeds. The image of such a person is not […]
• Nekrasov worked on the creation of the poem “Who Lives Well in Russia” until the end of his life. The central character of this poem is the people. Nekrasov truly portrayed dark sides life of the Russian peasantry. Even the names of the villages speak of poverty, the wretchedness of Russian reality: We are sedate men, From temporarily obliged, Tightened province, Empty volost, From adjacent villages: Nesytova, Neelova, Zaplatova, Dyryavina, Burners, Golodukhino, Crop failure […]
• Continuing the traditions of A. S. Pushkin, N. A. Nekrasov dedicated his work to the people. He himself wrote about himself: "I dedicated the lyre to my people." But unlike Pushkin and other poets of this period, Nekrasov's Muse is his own, special. She is not like the sophisticated society ladies who inspired the poets of that time. She appears before us in the form of a simple peasant girl, a woman. In 1848, at the very beginning of his creative way Nekrasov wrote a wonderful poem "Yesterday, at five o'clock...", […]
• N. A. Nekrasov can rightfully be considered a folk poet, because it is no coincidence that the motifs of his lyrics, so diverse and complex in their artistic structure, are united by the theme of the people. The poems tell about the life of the peasants and the urban poor, about the hard female lobe, about nature and love, about high citizenship and the appointment of the poet. Nekrasov's mastery consisted primarily in realism, in a truthful depiction of reality and in the poet's involvement in folk life, affection and love for Russian […]
• The theme of love is solved in Nekrasov's lyrics in a very peculiar way. It was here that his artistic innovation was fully manifested. Unlike their predecessors, who preferred to portray the feeling of love “in beautiful moments”, Nekrasov did not ignore that “prose”, which is “inevitable in love” (“You and I are stupid people ...”). However, in the words of the famous non-krasovologist N. Skatov, he "not only prosaic the poetry of love, but also poeticized its prose." Of the top three dozen love […]
• The theme of the poet and poetry is eternal in literature. In works about the role and significance of the poet and poetry, the author expresses his views, beliefs, and creative tasks. In the middle of the 19th century, in Russian poetry, the original image of the Poet was created by N. Nekrasov. Already in the early lyrics, he speaks of himself as a poet of a new type. According to him, he was never a "darling of freedom" and "a friend of laziness." In his poems, he embodied the boiling "heart torment". Nekrasov was strict with himself and his Muse. About his poems, he says: But I do not flatter that in […]
• The literary talent of N. A. Nekrasov glorified him not only as a writer and poet, but also as an editor, journalist and critic. At various times he wrote poems, stories, feuilletons, vaudeville, satirical couplets - sharp and evil. Nekrasov also owns the unfinished novel The Life and Adventures of Tikhon Trostnikov. But the basis of his creative heritage is, of course, poetry. Nekrasov belonged to the "natural school". He believed that literature should reflect real life, describe slums, plagues and famine […]
• Nekrasov's work coincided with the heyday of Russian folklore. The poet often visited Russian huts, in practice he studied the common language, the speech of soldiers, peasants. She became his speech. Folk images in his works are not reduced to simple borrowing, Nekrasov used folklore freely, rethought it, creatively subordinating his own artistic tasks, his own style. The poem "Frost, Red Nose" was written by a professional writer, and it contains a layer of literary and traditional […]
• Each writer develops a unique style based on his artistic tasks. Depending on the theme and idea of ​​the work, the means of expression are selected. In the poem "Frost, Red Nose" a folk-poetic layer plays a very important role. The poem is devoted to the description of the life of the peasants, their way of life, the re-creation of the national spirit. Therefore, folklore images organically appear in it, artistic means characteristic of folklore. Natural metaphors play an important role. Daria's deceased husband is like a falcon in […]
• The theme of N. A. Nekrasov’s poem “Frost, Red Nose” is quite definite, for the poet it is one of the main ones in his work - this is the sphere of life, life and being of the common people, peasants, their happiness and misfortune, hardships and joys, hard work and rare moments of rest. But, perhaps, the author was most interested in the female character. This poem is entirely dedicated to the Russian woman - the way the poet saw her. And here one immediately recalls Nekrasov's poem "Yesterday, at six o'clock ...", in which he calls […]
• N. A. Nekrasov created a whole era in poetry. Not one generation the best people Russia was brought up on the works of the poet. From childhood, Nekrasov's images, the unique sounds of his poetic speech enter our consciousness. In the face of Nekrasov, who sensitively caught the demand of the time, poetry sought to push its limits. The poet confesses to society, considers himself responsible to it. From the highest moral positions, he judges his imperfections, punishes himself for the slightest hesitation and weakness. His political […]
• The first collection of Nekrasov's poems of 1856, which was a huge success, opened with a program, a creative manifesto - "The Poet and the Citizen." Not only the first place for the book, but also a special font were intended to emphasize the significance of this work. Here the new poet appears before us as a reality "in flesh and blood", with his own attitude and character. He enters into a dialogue, which, as Nekrasov emphasizes, takes place in a difficult and turbulent time, in a "time of grief." The Citizen reminds the Poet of the severity and […]
• My famous poem“Who is living well in Russia?” N.A. Nekrasov wrote two years after the reform, which gave the peasants the long-awaited freedom. It would seem that happiness has come - the long-awaited freedom has come. But no, as the peasant was powerless, he remained. The Manifesto of Alexander 11 did not give the serfs full liberation, they had to pay the former owner "redemption" for 49 years, and in addition, the peasant also had to pay rent […]
• Very brightly and authentically, N.V. Gogol presented the reader with the image of one of the main characters of the story "Taras Bulba", younger son Taras, Andria. His personality is well described in completely different situations - at home with his family and friends, at war, with enemies, as well as with his beloved Polish woman. Andriy is a windy, passionate nature. With ease and madness, he surrendered himself to the passionate feelings that the beautiful Polish woman kindled in him. And having betrayed the convictions of his family and his people, he abandoned everything and went over to the side of his opponents. […]

Honor is, in the understanding of Grinev the father, courage, nobility, duty, loyalty to the oath. How did these qualities manifest themselves in Grinev Jr.? In answering this question, I would like to dwell in more detail on Grinev's life after the capture Belogorsk fortress Pugachev. The fate of Grinev during the uprising was unusual: his life was saved by Pugachev, moreover, […]
• Tyutchev's work is one of the few highest peaks of domestic and world lyrics. Tyutchev's poetic word embodied a truly inexhaustible wealth of artistic meaning, although the main fund of the poet's legacy is only about two hundred laconic poems. The extremely small "volume" of Tyutchev's poetic heritage became the initial reason for his late recognition. Despite the fact that already a hundred years ago Afanasy Fet rightfully said about the collection of Tyutchev's poems: “This book […]
• After the 1905 revolution, Bunin was one of the first to feel the changes in the life of Russia, namely the mood of the post-revolutionary village, and reflected them in his stories and novels, especially in the story "The Village", which was published in 1910. On the pages of the story "The Village" the author paints a horrifying picture of the poverty of the Russian people. Bunin wrote that this story was "the beginning of a whole series of works that sharply depicted the Russian soul, its peculiar interlacings, its light and dark, but almost always […]
