V. Introduction.

1. The word of the teacher.

The poem "Anna Snegina" was completed by Yesenin in January 1925. In this poem, all the main themes of Yesenin's lyrics are intertwined: homeland, love, "Russia is leaving" and "Soviet Russia". The poet himself defined his work as a lyric-epic poem. He considered her the best work of all that have been written before.

2. Student's message.

The main part of the poem reproduces the events of 1917 on the Ryazan land. The fifth chapter contains a sketch of rural post-revolutionary Russia - the action in the poem ends in 1923. The poem is autobiographical, based on memories of youthful love. But the personal fate of the hero is comprehended in connection with the fate of the people. In the image of the hero - the poet Sergei - we guess Yesenin himself. The prototype of Anna is L.I. Kashina, who, however, did not leave Russia. In 1917, she gave her house in Konstantinov to the peasants, she herself lived in the estate on the White Yar on the Oka. Yesenin was there. In 1918 she moved to Moscow and worked as a typist. Yesenin met with her in Moscow. But the prototype artistic image things are different, and thin. the image is always richer.

3. The word of the teacher. (slides 7, 8, 9)

The events in the poem are given in sketches, and it is not the events themselves that are important to us, but the attitude of the author towards them. Yesenin's poem is both about time and about what remains unchanged at all times. The plot of the poem is the story of the unfulfilled fate of the heroes against the backdrop of a bloody and uncompromising class struggle. In the course of the analysis, we will follow how the leading motive of the poem develops, which is closely connected with the main themes: the theme of the condemnation of the war and the theme of the peasantry. Lyric epic poem. At the core lyrical plan of the poem lies the fate of the main characters - Anna Snegina and the Poet. At the core epic plan - the theme of the condemnation of the war and the theme of the peasantry.

VI. Analytical conversation.

Which character's speech opens the poem? What is he talking about? (The poem begins with the story of a driver who takes a hero returning from the war to his native places. From his words we learn the “sad news” about what is happening in the rear: the inhabitants of the once rich village of Radova are at enmity with their neighbors - poor and thieving Kriushans. This enmity led to a scandal and the murder of the headman and to the gradual ruin of Radov:

Since then we have been in trouble.

The reins rolled down from happiness.

Almost three years in a row

We have either a case or a fire.)

- What is common between the lyrical hero and the author? Can they be identified? (Although the lyrical hero bears the name Sergei Yesenin, he cannot be completely identified with the author. The hero, in the recent past a peasant in the village of Radova, and now a famous poet who deserted from Kerensky's army and has now returned to his native places, of course, has much in common with the author and, first of all, in the structure of thoughts, in moods, in relation to the events and people described.)

WAR THEME.

- What is your attitude to the war? (Military operations are not described; the horrors and absurdity, the inhumanity of war are shown through the attitude of the lyrical hero towards it. The word "deserter" usually causes dislike, it's almost a traitor) Why does the hero almost proudly say about himself: “I showed another courage - I was the first deserter in the country”?)

- Why does the hero arbitrarily return from the war?(To fight "for someone else's interest", to shoot at another person, at a "brother" - this is not heroism. Losing a human appearance: "The war has eaten away my whole soul" is not heroism. "They live quietly in the rear, and" scoundrels and parasites "drive people to the front to die - also not heroism. In this situation, courage really was what the lyrical hero did, he deserted. He returns from the war in the summer of 1917.)

STUDENT MESSAGE,

- One of the main themes of the poem is the condemnation of the imperialist and fratricidal civil war. It is bad in the village at this time:

We are restless now.

Everything blossomed with sweat.

Continuous peasant wars -

They fight village against village.

These peasant wars are symbolic. They are the prototype of a great fratricidal war, a national tragedy, from which, according to the miller's wife, "Raseya" almost "disappeared". The author himself condemns the war, who is not afraid to call himself "the country's first deserter." Refusal to participate in the bloody massacre is not a pose, but a deep, hard-won conviction.

CONCLUSIONS. THESIS RECORDING. (slide 10)

THE THEME OF PEASANTRY.

- How does the lyrical hero see the past?(Three years have passed since the hero left his native place, and much seems to him distant, changed. He looks with different eyes: “The aged wattle fence is so sweet to my flashing eyes”, “overgrown garden”, lilac. These cute signs recreate the image “ girls in a white cape" and evoke a bitter thought:

We are all in these years loved,

But they didn't love us enough.)

Here begins the main motive of the poem.

-What are the moods of the poet's countrymen?(People are alarmed by the events that have come to their villages: “Solid peasant wars”, and the reason is “anarchy. They drove out the king ...”. We learn about the “cobbler, fighter, rude man” Pron Ogloblin, an embittered drunkard, murderer of the headman. It turns out that “Now there are thousands of them / I’m rotten to create in freedom.” And as a terrible result: “Raseya is gone, gone.

-What are the concerns of men? (Firstly, this is the age-old question about the land: “Say: / Will the peasants go away / Without redemption of the arable land of the masters?”. The second question is about the war: “Why, then, at the front / Are we destroying ourselves and others?” The third question: "Tell me / Who is Lenin?".

Why does the hero answer: "He is you"?(This aphorism about Lenin, the leader of the people, is significant. Here the hero rises to genuine historicism in showing revolutionary events. Peasant workers, especially the rural poor, warmly greet Soviet power and follow Lenin, because they heard that he was fighting for something to forever free the peasants from the oppression of the landlords and give them "without redemption the arable land of the masters").

-What prompted the hero to turn to Lenin?(Faith, maybemore precisely -desire to believe in a brighter future)

-What kind of peasants appear before us?(Pron is a traditional Russian rebel, the embodiment of the Pugachev principle. Labutya, his brother, is an opportunist and parasite.)

- Is there a positive type of peasant in the poem?(Of course there is. This miller is the embodiment of kindness, humanity, closeness to nature. All this makes the miller one of the main characters of the poem.)

MESSAGE.

- The fate of the main characters of the poem is closely connected with the revolutionary events: the landowner Anna Snegina, whose entire farmstead was taken away by the peasants during the revolution; poor peasant Ogloblin Pron, fighting for the power of the Soviets; the old miller and his wife; the narrator of the poet, involved in the revolutionary storm in "peasant affairs". Yesenin's attitude to his heroes is imbued with concern for their fate. Unlike the first works, which glorify the transformed peasant Russia as a whole, in Anna Snegina he does not idealize the Russian peasantry.

MESSAGE.

Yesenin foresees the tragedy of the peasantry of 1929-1933, observing and experiencing the origins of this tragedy. Yesenin is worried that the Russian peasant is ceasing to be a master and worker on his land, that he is looking for an easy life, striving for profit at any cost. For Yesenin, the main thing is the moral qualities of people. Revolutionary freedom poisoned the peasants with permissiveness, awakened moral vices in them.

CONCLUSIONS. THESIS RECORDING. (slide 11)

-Now let's turn to our heroes and see how the leading motive of the poem develops.

POEM'S KEYMOTIN ("WE ALL LOVE IN THESE YEARS...")

- How are the feelings of the heroes, Anna and Sergey, shown when they meet?(The dialogue of the characters goes on two levels: obvious and implicit (ch. 3). There is an ordinary polite conversation between people who are almost strangers to each other. But separate remarks, gestures show that the feelings of the characters are alive. (READ) ).

The leitmotif of the poem already sounds optimistic. (“There is something beautiful in summer, / And with summer, beautiful in us”)

- What is the reason for the discord in the relationship of the characters?(Pron Ogloblin planned to take away the land from the Snegins, and for negotiations he took an “important” person, as he considered it, a resident of the capital. They arrived at the wrong time: it turned out that the news of the death of Anna’s husband had just arrived. In grief, she throws an accusation to Sergei: “You are a pitiful and low coward. / He died ... / And you are here ... ". The heroes did not see each other all summer).

MESSAGE.

The poem "Anna Snegina" is lyric-epic. Her main topic- personal, but epic events are revealed through the fate of the heroes. The title itself suggests that Anna is the central image of the poem. The name of the heroine sounds especially poetic and ambiguous. This name has full sonority, beauty of alliteration, richness of associations. Snegina - a symbol of the purity of white snow, echoes the spring color of bird cherry, this name is a symbol of lost youth. There are associations with Yesenin's images: a girl in white, a thin birch, a snowy bird cherry.

The lyrical plot of the poem - the story of the heroes' failed love - is barely outlined, it develops as a series of fragments. The failed romance of the characters takes place against the backdrop of a bloody and uncompromising class war. The relationship of the characters is romantic, unclear, and the feelings are intuitive. The revolution led the heroes to part, the heroine ended up in exile - in England, from where she writes a letter to the hero of the poem. The revolution does not have heroes the memory of love. The fact that Anna ended up far from Soviet Russia is a sad pattern, a tragedy for many Russian people of that time. And Yesenin's merit is that he was the first to show this.

-How is the new power depicted in the poem?(October 1917, the hero meets in the village. He learns about the coup from Pron, who “almost died of joy”, “Now we all once - and kvass! / Without any ransom since the summer / We take arable land and forests. " Pron's dream to seize the land from the Snegins came true, backed up by the new government: "There are now Soviets in Russia / And Lenin is the senior commissar." Soviet power is portrayed ironically, even sarcastically. The first loafers and drunkards climbed into power, like Pron Labuti's brother, who coward”, “Such people are always in mind./They don’t live like corns on their hands./ And here he is, of course, in the Council”).

- What events take place before the hero's next visit to his native place?(Six years pass: “Severe, terrible years!” Goods taken from the landlords did not bring happiness to the peasants: why would the “grimy rabble” need “pianos” and “gramophone” to play “Tambov foxtrot for cows”?The grain grower's lot is gone »).

-Where does the hero learn about the events in Kriush?(He learns about the events from the miller’s letter: Pron was shot by the Denikovites, Labutya escaped - “he climbed into the straw”, and then he cried for a long time: “I should have a red order / for my courage to wear”, and now the civil war has subsided, “the storm has gone into calm down").

-And again our hero is in the village. What impression did Anna's letter make on him?(The hero receives a letter with a "London seal". The letter contains no word of reproach, no complaint, no regret about the lost estate, only bright nostalgia.READ .Sergey remains cold and almost cynical: “A letter is like a letter./For no reason. / I wouldn’t write such things for real.”)

How does the leitmotif of the poem change in its final part?(Here the “second plan”, the deep one, comes through. The hero does not seem to be touched by the letter, as if he does everything still but he sees everything differently.READ. What changed? “In the old way” was replaced by “still”, the “aged” wattle fence became “hunched”.)

MESSAGE.

The poet - the hero of the poem - constantly emphasizes that his soul is already largely closed to better feelings and beautiful impulses: "Nothing broke into my soul, / Nothing confused me." And only in the finale a chord sounds - a memory of the most beautiful and forever, forever lost. Parting with Anna in the lyrical context of the poem is parting from youth, parting from the most pure and holy that a person has at the dawn of life. But - the main thing in the poem - all human beautiful, bright and holy lives in the hero, remains with him forever as a memory, as " living life»:

I walk through the overgrown garden,

The face touches the lilac.

So sweet to my flashing eyes

Hunched wattle.

Once at that gate over there

I was sixteen years old

And a girl in a white cape

She told me kindly: “No!”

Far away, they were cute! ..

That image in me has not faded away.

We all loved during these years,

But that means

They loved us too.

VII. Final word teachers. Return to epigraph.

- "Distant. cute "images made the soul rejuvenate, but also regret the departed irrevocably. At the end of the poem, only one word has changed, but the meaning has changed significantly. Nature, homeland, spring, love - these words are one row. And the person who forgives is right. (Reading the epigraph)

I think it's the best thing I've written.
S. Yesenin about the poem

Lyric plan of the poem. Name.
The image of Anna Snegina. The image of the main character - Poet

The poem is autobiographical, based on memories of youthful love. But in the poem, the personal fate of the hero is comprehended in connection with the fate of the people.

In the image of the hero - the poet Sergei - we guess Sergei Yesenin himself. The prototype of Anna is L.I. Kashin (1886-1937), who, however, did not leave Russia. In 1917, she gave her house in Konstantinov to the peasants, she herself lived in the estate on the White Yar on the Oka. Yesenin was there. In 1918 she moved to Moscow and worked as a typist and stenographer. Yesenin met with her in Moscow. But the prototype and the artistic image are different things, and the artistic image is always richer; The richness of the poem, of course, is not limited to a specific biographical situation.

The poem "Anna Snegina" is lyric-epic. Its main theme is personal, but through the fate of the poet and main character epic events unfold. The title itself suggests that Anna is the central image of the poem. The name of the heroine sounds especially poetic and ambiguous. In this name - full sonority, the beauty of alliteration, the richness of associations. Snegina - a symbol of the purity of white snow, echoes the spring color of bird cherry, white as snow, this name is a symbol of lost youth. There are also many images familiar from Yesenin's poetry: "a girl in white", "thin birch", "snowy" bird cherry ...

The lyrical plot - the story of the heroes' failed love - is barely outlined in the poem, and it develops as a series of fragments. The failed romance of the heroes of the poem takes place against the backdrop of a bloody and uncompromising class war. The characters' relationships are romantic, unclear, and their feelings and moods are impressionistic and intuitive. The revolution led the heroes to part, the heroine ended up in exile - in England, from where she writes a letter to the hero of the poem. But time, the revolution did not take away the memory of love from the heroes. The fact that Anna Snegina ended up far from Soviet Russia is a sad pattern, a tragedy for many Russian people of that time. And Yesenin's merit is that he was the first to show this. But this is not the main point of the poem.

The poet - the hero of the poem - constantly emphasizes that his soul is already largely closed to better feelings and wonderful impulses:

Nothing broke into my soul, Nothing confused me. Sweet smells flowed, And there was a drunken fog in my thoughts ... Now I would have a good romance with a beautiful soldier.

And even at the end of the poem, after reading a letter from this woman forever lost to him, he seems to remain cold and almost cynical: "A letter is like a letter. No reason. I would never write such a thing."

And only in the finale a bright chord sounds - a memory of the most beautiful and forever, forever lost. Separation from Anna in the lyrical context of the poem is the poet's separation from youth, separation from the purest and most holy that a person has at the dawn of life. But - and this is the main thing in the poem - everything humanly beautiful, bright and holy lives in the hero, remains with him forever as a memory, as a "living life":

I'm walking through an overgrown garden, my face touches the lilac. So dear to my flashing glances Hunched wattle fence. Once at that gate over there I was sixteen years old, And a girl in a white cloak Said to me affectionately: "No!" They were far, dear!.. That image did not die out in me. We all loved in these years, But, therefore, they loved us too.

epic plan. The attitude of the hero to the world and fratricidal civil war; images of peasants (Pron Ogloblin, Labuti Ogloblin, miller)

The main part of the poem (four chapters out of five) reproduces the events of 1917 on the Ryazan land. The fifth chapter contains a sketch of rural post-revolutionary Russia - the action in the poem ends in 1923. The events are given in sketches, and it is not the events themselves that are important to us, but the attitude of the author towards them, - after all, the poem is primarily lyrical. Yesenin's poem is both about time and about what remains unchanged at all times.

One of the main themes of the poem is the theme of the imperialist and fratricidal civil war. In the village during the revolution and the civil war, it is restless:

We are now restless here. Everything blossomed with sweat. Solid peasant wars - They fight village against village.

These peasant wars are symbolic; they are the prototype of a great fratricidal war, a national tragedy, from which, according to the miller's wife, Raseya almost "disappeared." The condemnation of the war - imperialist and civil - is one of the main themes of the poem. The war is condemned by various characters in the poem and by the author himself, who is not afraid to call himself "the country's first deserter."

I think: How beautiful is the Earth And on it is a man. And how many unfortunate Freaks are now crippled with the war! And how many are buried in the pits! And how many more will be buried! And I feel in my stubborn cheekbones A cruel spasm of cheeks...

Refusal to participate in the bloody massacre is not a pose, but a deep, hard-won conviction.

Yesenin, despite the fact that the basis folk life he sees in the working peasantry, he does not idealize the Russian peasantry. The words that representatives of different intellectual strata called the peasant sound sarcastically:

Fefela! Breadwinner! Iris! Owner of land and livestock, For a couple of scruffy "katek" He will let himself be torn out with a whip.

Yesenin foresees the tragedy of the peasantry of 1929-1933, observing and experiencing the origins of this tragedy. Yesenin is worried that the Russian peasant is ceasing to be a master and worker on his land, that he is looking for an easy life, striving for profit at any cost.

For Yesenin, the main thing is the moral qualities of people, and in his poem he draws a number of colorful peasant types of the post-revolutionary era.

Revolutionary freedom poisoned the peasants with permissiveness, awakened moral vices in them. The poem, for example, does not romanticize the revolutionary nature of Pron Ogloblin: Pron for Yesenin is a new manifestation of the national character. He is a Russian traditional rebel of a new formation. People like him either go into the depths of people's life, or again break out to the surface in the years of "crazy action."

Pron is the embodiment of the Pugachev principle. Let us recall that Pugachev, who declared himself tsar, stood above the people, was a despot and a murderer (see, for example, Pushkin's "History of Pugachev" with a huge list of Pugachev's victims attached to it). Pron Ogloblin also stands above the people:

Ogloblin is standing at the gate And drunk in the liver and in the soul The impoverished people are dying. "Hey, you! Cockroach offspring! All to Snegina! .. R-time and kvass! You give, they say, your land Without any ransom from us!" And then, seeing me, Lowering his grumpy agility, He said in genuine insult: "The peasants still need to be cooked."

Pron Ogloblin, in the words of an old miller's woman, is "a brawler, a rude man" who "is drunk for weeks in the morning...". For the old miller's woman, Pron is a destroyer, a killer. And the poet himself Pron evokes sympathy only where it is said about his death. In general, the author is far from Pron, there is some kind of uncertainty between them. Later, a similar type of turning point will be encountered by M. Sholokhov in Virgin Soil Upturned (Makar Nagulnov). Having seized power, such people think that they are doing everything for the good of the people, justifying any bloody crimes. The tragedy of depeasantization in the poem is only foreseen, but the very type of leader standing above the people is correctly noticed. Pron is opposed in Yesenin's poem by a different type of popular leader, about whom the people can be said: "He is you" (about Lenin). Yesenin claims that the people and Lenin are united in spirit, they are twin brothers. The peasants ask the Poet:

"Tell me, who is Lenin?" I quietly replied, "He is you."

"You" - that is, the people whose aspirations were embodied in the leader. The leader and the people are united in a common faith, a fanatical faith in the imminent reorganization of life, in the next tower of babel, the construction of which ended with another moral and psychological breakdown. Not opportunistic considerations forced Yesenin to turn to Lenin, but faith, perhaps, more precisely, the desire for faith. Because the soul of the poet was divided, conflicting feelings in relation to the new world fought in it.

Another character, also correctly noticed by Yesenin, the peasant type of the transitional era, Labutya Ogloblin, does not need special comments. Next to Pron, Labutya "... with an important posture, like some gray-haired veteran", turned out to be "in the Council" and lives "not a corn on his hands." He is a necessary companion for Pron Ogloblin. But if the fate of Pron, for all his negative sides, takes on a tragic sound in the finale, then Labuti's life is a pathetic, disgusting farce (and a much more pathetic farce than, for example, the life of Sholokhov's grandfather Shchukar, who can be pitied in some way). It is indicative that it was Labutya who "went first to describe Snegin's house" and arrested all its inhabitants, who were subsequently saved from a speedy trial by a kind miller. Labuti's principle is to live "not a corn of the hands", he is "a boaster and a devilish coward." It is no coincidence that Pron and Labutya are brothers.

Pron had a brother Labutya, Man - what is your fifth ace: At every dangerous moment, Khvalbishka and a devilish coward. Of course, you have seen these. Their rock was rewarded with chatter ... Such people are always in mind, They live without calluses on their hands ...

Another peasant type in the poem - the miller - is the embodiment of kindness, closeness to nature, humanity. All this makes the miller one of the main characters of the poem. His image is lyrical and dear to the author as one of the brightest and most popular beginnings. It is no coincidence that in the poem the miller constantly connects people. His proverb is also significant: "For a sweet soul!" He, perhaps, most of all embodies this whole, kind-hearted Russian soul, personifies the Russian national character in its ideal form.

The language of the poem

A distinctive feature of the poem is its nationality. Yesenin abandoned refined metaphor and turned to rich colloquial folk speech. In the poem, the speech of the characters is individualized: the miller, and Anna, and the old miller's woman, and Pron, and Labuti, and the hero himself. The poem is distinguished by polyphony, and this corresponds to the spirit of the reproduced era, the struggle of the polar forces.

The epic theme of the poem is sustained in the realistic Nekrasov traditions. There is a focus on national disasters, and a story about a national leader, and images of peasants with individual characters and destinies, and a story about the villages of Radovo and Kriushi, and a skaz style, and lexical and stylistic features of the speech of peasants, and a free transition from one language culture to another. It is no coincidence that in one of Yesenin's contemporary articles, the idea of ​​a novel-poem with its polyphony and versatility of depicting life was voiced.

The poem by Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin "Anna Snegina" is largely a final work, in which the personal fate of the poet is correlated with the fate of the people. The poem is closely connected with the lyrics of Yesenin, absorbed many of her motives and images.

The central, organizing beginning of the poem is the speech of Yesenin himself, the voice of the author, the personality of the author, his attitude to the world permeates the entire work. It is noteworthy that the author does not impose his views, his attitude to the world on other heroes, he only combines them in the poem.

The poet defined his work as lyric-epic. Its main theme is personal. Therefore, all epic events are revealed through fate, the feelings of the poet and the main character.

The very title of the poem suggests that everything is concentrated in Anna Snegina and in those relations that connect the poet with her. It has already been noted more than once that the name of the heroine sounds somehow especially poetic and ambiguous. Snegina - a symbol of the purity of white snow - echoes the spring flowering of bird cherry, white as snow, and therefore a symbol of youth lost forever. There are also quite a few images familiar from Yesenin's lyrics: “a girl in white”, “thin birch”, “snowy” bird cherry. But everything familiar is connected in the image of the main character.

The fact that Anna Snegina ended up far from her homeland is a sad pattern for many Russian people of that time. And Yesenin's merit is that he was the first to show this. Separation from Anna in the lyrical context of the poem is the poet's separation from youth, separation from the purest and most holy that a person has at the dawn of life. But everything humanly beautiful, bright and holy lives in the hero, remains with him forever as a memory, as a “living life”.

The theme of the motherland and the theme of time are closely connected in the poem. And in a chronological sense, the basis of the poem is as follows: the main part (four chapters) is the Ryazan land of 1917; in the fifth chapter - a sketch of the fate of one of the corners of large rural Russia from the revolution to the first peaceful years (the action in the poem ends in 1923). Naturally, the fate of the country and the people is guessed behind the fate of one of the corners of the Russian land. The author selected those facts that date back to the time of the largest historical events in the country: the First World War, the February Revolution, October revolution and class struggle in the countryside. But for us, it is not the depiction of epic events that is especially important, but the attitude of the poet towards them.

Yesenin does not idealize the Russian peasantry, he sees its heterogeneity, he sees in him both a miller and an old woman, and a driver from the beginning of the poem, and Pron, and Labutya, and a peasant clutching his hands from profit ... The poet sees a peculiar basis of life in the working peasantry, whose fate is the epic basis of the poem. This fate is sad, as it is clear from the words of the old miller's woman:

We are now restless here.

Everything blossomed with sweat.

Solid man wars-

D going from village to village.

Symbolic are these muzhik wars, which are the prototype of a great fratricidal war, from which, according to the miller, "Raseya almost disappeared..." Condemnation of the war - imperialist and fratricidal - is one of the main themes. The war is condemned by the entire course of the poem, by its various characters - the miller and his old woman, the driver, the two main tragedies of Anna Snegina's life (the death of her husband, emigration). The rejection of the bloody massacre is the author's hard-won conviction and a historically accurate poetic assessment of events:

The war has eaten away my soul.

For someone else's interest

I shot at my close body

And he climbed on his brother with his chest.

I realized that I- a toy,

In the rear, merchants, yes, you know ...

And only at the end of the poem does a bright chord sound - a memory of the most beautiful and forever, forever gone. We are convinced that all the best that is left behind the hero lives in his soul:

I walk through the overgrown garden,

The face touches the lilac.

So sweet to my flashing eyes

Puffed up wattle.

Once at that gate over there

I was sixteen years old

And a girl in a white cape

She said to me kindly:

"Not!" Far away, they were cute!

That image in me has not faded away.

We all loved during these years,

But that means

They loved us too.

The epilogue was very important for Yesenin - a poet and a man: after all, all this helped him live. The epilogue also means that the past and the present are interconnected for the hero, it seems to connect the times, emphasizing their inseparability from the fate of their native land.

The breadth of the historical space of the poem, its openness to life impressions, best moves the soul of man characterizes the last and main poem of the "poetic heart of Russia" by Sergei Yesenin.

"Anna Snegina"

Already in the very title of Yesenin's poem "Anna Snegina" there is a hint of plot similarity with the novel "Eugene Onegin". As in Pushkin's work, the heroes love story meet with her through the years and remember their youth, regretting that they had once parted. By this time, the lyrical heroine is already becoming a married woman.

The protagonist of the work is a poet. His name, like the author, is Sergey. In addition, he has a clear portrait resemblance to S.L. Yesenin. After a long absence, he returns to his native place. The hero participated in the First World War, but soon realized that it was being fought "for someone else's interest", and deserted, buying himself a fake document - "linden". The plot of the poem contains autobiographical features. It is inspired by memories of the feelings of S.A. Yesenin to the landowner JI. Kashina, with whom he was in love in his youth.

Apart from love line the poem gives a broad plan of the social reality contemporary to the poet, including both pictures of peaceful village life, and echoes of wars and revolutionary events. The poem is written in a lively colloquial language, full of dialogues, gentle humor and deep nostalgic experiences.

The poet's patriotic feeling is embodied in the subtleties of the Central Russian landscape he created, a detailed story about the traditional peasant way of life that exists in the prosperous village of Radov. The very name of this place is symbolic. Such a village really exists in Meshchera. The author's sympathies are clearly addressed to him. The men in the village live prosperously. Everything here is done in a business-like manner, in detail.

Prosperous Radov is contrasted in the poem with the village of Kriushi, where poverty and wretchedness reign: “They had a bad life - Almost the whole village galloped Plowed with one plow On a pair of hackneyed nags.” Peasants have rotten huts. It is symbolic that dogs are not kept in the village, apparently, there is nothing to steal in the houses. But the villagers themselves, exhausted by a painful fate, steal the forest in Radov. All this gives rise to conflicts and civil strife. So, from the description of the local conflict, the theme of social contradictions begins to develop in the poem. It is noteworthy that the display of various types of peasant life in the poem was an artistic innovation in the literature of that time, since in general there was a perception of the peasantry as a single social class community with the same level of prosperity and socio-political views. Gradually, the once calm and prosperous Radovo is involved in a series of troubles: "The reins have rolled down from happiness."

An important feature of the poem is its anti-war orientation. Looking at the light spring landscape, on the flowering of the gardens of his native land, the hero feels even more acutely the horror and injustice that the war brings with it: “I think: How beautiful is the Earth And on it is a person. And how many unfortunate Freaks are now crippled with the war! And how many are buried in the pits! And how many more will be buried! Human life is unique and unrepeatable. How happy the heroes of the poem must have been, having spent it together among these beautiful gardens, forests and fields native land. But fate decreed otherwise.

Sergukha is staying with an old miller, who contributes to the story of the wealth of Meshchera: “This summer, we have more than enough mushrooms and berries in Moscow. And the game is here, brother, to hell, Itself so under gunpowder and rushing. Visiting the miller, thanks to the simple realities of rural life, the hero is immersed in memories of his youthful love. Happy meeting with his native places, the hero dreams of starting a romance. Lilac becomes a symbol of love feeling in the poem.

Important in the work is the figure of the miller himself, the hospitable owner of the house, and his troublesome wife, who seeks to feed Sergei more deliciously: in the evening she serves a pie for tea, and already at dawn she bakes pancakes for the dear guest. Sergey's conversation with the old woman conveys the popular perception modern author eras: simple people Those who spend their lives in labor, in close proximity to the world of nature, do not understand high revolutionary ideas and bright romantic impulses directed towards the future. They live for today and feel how their current worldly concerns have increased. In addition to the First World War, for which soldiers were taken to villages and villages, local conflicts aggravated in the era of anarchy exasperated the peasants. And even ordinary village old woman is able to see the causes of these social unrest: “All attacks fell on our unreasonable people. For some reason they opened prisons, Villains were let in dashing. Now on high road Do not know peace from them. S.A. Yesenin shows how the violation of the usual course of events, the very revolutionary transformations that were carried out in the name of the people, turned into a series of regular problems and concerns.

It is symbolic that it is the miller's wife (a troublesome hostess and a sensible woman, rich in popular practical wisdom) who first characterizes Pron Ogloblin, a hero who embodies the image of a revolutionary-minded peasant in the poem: “Bulldyzhnik, fighter, rude. He is always embittered at everyone, Drunk for weeks in the morning. S.A. Yesenin convincingly shows that dissatisfaction with the tsarist regime and the desire for social change, even at the cost of cruelty and fratricidal massacre, was born primarily among those peasants who had a penchant for drunkenness and theft. It was people like Ogloblin who readily went to share the property of the landlords.

Sergei falls ill, and Anna Onegin comes to visit him herself. Autobiographical motifs are again heard in their conversation. The hero reads poetry to Anna about tavern Rus. And Yesenin himself, as you know, has a poetry collection "Moscow Tavern". Romantic feelings flare up in the hearts of the heroes, and soon Sergey finds out that Anna is a widow. AT folk tradition there is a belief that when a woman is waiting for her husband or fiance from the war, her love becomes a kind of amulet for him and keeps him in battle. Anna's arrival to Sergey and an attempt to continue romantic communication with him are perceived in this case like cheating. Thus, Anna becomes indirectly responsible for the death of her husband and is aware of this.

At the end of the poem, Sergei receives a letter from Anna, from which he learns how hard it is for her to be separated from her homeland and all that she once loved. From the romantic heroine with all her external attributes (gloves, shawl, white cape, White dress) Anna turns into an earthly suffering woman who goes to meet the ships that have sailed from distant Russia at the pier. Thus, the heroes are separated not only by the circumstances of their personal lives, but also by deep historical changes.

The action takes place on the Ryazan land in the period from the spring of 1917 to 1923. The narration is conducted on behalf of the author-poet Sergei Yesenin; the image of "epic" events is transmitted through the attitude of the lyrical hero towards them.

In the first chapter, we are talking about the poet's trip to his native places after the hardships of the world war, in which he was a participant. The driver tells about the life of his fellow villagers - wealthy Radov peasants. The Radovites are at constant war with the poor village of Kriushi. Neighbors steal wood, arrange dangerous scandals, in one of which it comes to the murder of a foreman. After the trial, the Radovites also "began troubles, the reins rolled down from happiness."

The hero reflects on the disastrous fate, recalling how "for someone else's interest" he shot and "climbed his chest with his brother." The poet refused to participate in the bloody massacre - he straightened his "linden" and "became the first deserter in the country." The guest is warmly welcomed in the miller's house, where he has not been for four years. After the samovar, the hero goes to the hayloft through a garden overgrown with lilacs - and “distant sweet ones were” appear in his memory - a girl in a white cape, who said affectionately: “No!”

The second chapter tells about the events of the next day. Awakened by the miller, the hero rejoices at the beauty of the morning, the white haze of the apple orchard. And again, as if in opposition to this, - thoughts about the cripples innocently mutilated by the war. From the old miller’s wife, he again hears about the clashes between the Radovites and the Kriushans, that now that the tsar has been driven away, “freedom is rotten” everywhere: for some reason, prisons were opened and many “thieves’ souls” returned to the village, among them the murderer of the headman Pron Ogloblin. The miller, who returned from the landowner Snegina - an old acquaintance of the hero - reports what interest his message about the guest who came to him aroused. But the miller's sly hints do not bother the souls of the hero so far. He goes to Kriusha - to see the men he knows.

A peasant gathering gathered at Pron Ogloblin's hut. The peasants are glad to see the capital's guest and demand that all burning questions be explained to them - about the land, about the war, about "who is Lenin?" The poet replies: "He is you."

In the third chapter - the events that followed a few days later. The miller brings Anna Snegina to the hero who caught a cold while hunting. A half-joking conversation about young meetings at the gate, about her marriage annoys the hero, he wants to find a different, sincere tone, but he has to obediently play the role of a fashionable poet. Anna reproaches him for his dissolute life, drunken brawls. But the hearts of the interlocutors speak of something else - they are full of an influx of "sixteen years": "We parted with her at dawn / With a mystery of movements and eyes ..."

Summer continues. At the request of Pron Ogloblin, the hero goes with the peasants to the Snegins to demand land. Sobs are heard from the landowner's room - this is the news of the death of Anna's husband, a military officer, at the front. Anna does not want to see the poet: “You are a pitiful and low coward, he died ... And you are here ...” Wounded, the hero goes with Pron to a tavern.

The main event of the fourth chapter is the news that Pron brings to the miller's hut. Now, according to him, “we are all r-times - and kvass! in Russia now there are Soviets and Lenin is the senior commissar. Next to Pron in the Council is his brother Labutya, a drunkard and talker who lives "not a corn of the hands." It was he who went first to describe Snegin's house - "there is always speed in capturing." The miller brings the hostesses of the estate to him. There is a last explanation of the hero with Anna. The pain of loss, the irrevocableness of past relationships still separate them. And again, only the poetry of memories of youth remains. In the evening, the Snegins leave, and the poet rushes to St. Petersburg "to dispel longing and sleep."

In the fifth chapter - a sketch of the events that took place in the country in the six post-revolutionary years. The “grimy rabble”, having seized upon the master’s good, strums on the pianos and listens to the gramophone - but “the fate of the grain grower goes out”, “fefela! Breadwinner! Iris!" for a couple of filthy "katek" he allows himself to be torn out with a whip.

From the miller's letter, the hero of the poem learns that Pron Ogloblin was shot by Denikin's Cossacks; Labutya, having sat out the raid in the straw, demands a red order for his bravery.

The hero again visits his native places. The old people welcome him with the same joy. A gift is prepared for him - a letter with a London seal - news from Anna. And although outwardly the addressee remains cold, even a little cynical, still a trace remains in his soul. The final lines again return to the bright image of youthful love.
