“It sounded like a bell on a tower
howl..." - these words of M.Yu. Lermontov
I would like to know about the poems of my predecessor
start talking about political lyrics
A.S.a.
Young A.S., just windowed
who studied at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum turned out to be a
ed in the prose of life, faced with injustice
the severity of the feudal system. Russia
after the glorious victories over Napoleon began
began to succumb to destructive decay due to
inside. Not standing the test of time
the centuries-old foundations of autocracy collapsed,
the tsar's predatory foreign policy even in
to some extent should have obscured the class
owl contradictions, look away sensibly
thinking person from internal problems,
to kindle a sense of nationalism in everyone...
Russia was turning into the “gendarme of the Euro-
py,” she herself was suffocating under the rule of the tyrant.
Alas.! wherever I look ~-
Scourges everywhere, glands everywhere,
Laws are a disastrous shame,
Captivity weak tears.
This is an ode to “Liberty” by A.S.a. But
not only does this production reek of pessimism,
poet's day. It also calls for struggle: “Re-
stand, fallen slaves! The poem "To Cha-
adaev": - philosophical thoughts of a young
person who must make a choice
life. This choice had to be made every
mu, choosing the path of the “people's defender”
or the "slave" road. Ryleev, Pestel, Kuchel-
Baker, Chaadaev, chose the first path:
Love, hope, quiet glory
Deception did not last long for us,
The youthful fun has disappeared
Like a dream, like morning fog...
A.S. affirms and preaches
not withdrawal from the struggle, not passive romance
with groans, sighs, and the battle for the bright future
future of the Fatherland:
But the desire still burns within us,
Under the yoke of fatal power
With an impatient soul
Let us heed the calling of the Fatherland.
We wait with languid hope
Holy moments of freedom
How a young lover waits
Minutes of a faithful date.
“A minute of holy liberty” - perhaps for the sake of
Isn't this worth living?! Faith in the future happiness
the essence of the peoples of Russia is permeated with the latest
lines of this message:
Comrade, believe: she will rise,
Star of captivating happiness.
Russia will wake up from its sleep,
And on the ruins of autocracy
They will write our names!
The hymn to freedom sounded here affirmed
also gives the need to devote oneself
struggle. When all people realize this necessity
bridge, only then will they be able to eradicate
“wild lordship”, which “without feeling, without
the horse was appropriated by a violent vine and
labor, and property, and time of the farmer."
While we are burning with freedom,
While hearts are alive for honor,
My friend, let's dedicate it to the fatherland
Beautiful impulses from the soul! - ,
calls the poet. In the poem "Village"
the poet uses antithesis, with the help of which
swarm he contrasts the beauty of Russian
nature, the harsh truth of life. By this he
beats such a real image “not-
politeness", which becomes scary and bitter
see ulcers on the body of the Motherland:
Here young maidens bloom
For the whim of an insensitive villain...
Evil tongues accused the poet of the absence
patriotism. Yes, indeed, patriotism
the poet is not a praise of autocracy
and the royal family, not praise of foreign policy
activities of tsarism, does not bend
face to the “liberalism” of the bureaucratic
state apparatus. He scourges and denounces
all this. This is patriotism that will develop
M. Yu. Lermontov in his works “Pro-
Goodbye, unwashed Russia!”, “Rodina” and others.
A.S. was never afraid of speaking out
call forth such thoughts from which the king and his
dignitaries “goosebumps crawled all over their bodies”:
We will amuse good citizens
,And at the pillar of shame
Guts of the last priest
We will strangle the last king.
To the question of Nicholas I, where would the poet be on the 14th
December 1825, if I were in St. Petersburg
Burg, answered: “With friends,” that is
with the Decembrists, on Senate Square.
Serving the Fatherland - the poet pro- this idea
carried throughout my life. In the era of terry re-
actions that followed the defeat of the uprising
1825, he finds the strength to defend
to reveal: “I sing the former hymns...” In the message
“To Siberia” the poet writes about the noble
in honor of his comrades:
Deep in Siberian ores
Keep your proud patience,
Your sorrowful work will not be wasted
And I think about high aspiration.
The poet believes that his loneliness will not last forever,
justice will prevail and he will again
will see his friends in freedom.
The poet always, voluntarily or unwittingly,
concerns state power. From this-
but, as history has shown, it doesn’t work out
what is good for a poet and nothing useful
for power.
However, hope for an enlightened government
body has never left people of art.
Therefore, Alexander turns to
Nicholas I, who had just ascended to the throne
table, with a peculiar interpretation of “Fe-
persons”, addressed at one time to G. Derzha-
wine to Catherine II.
You need to have courage and great
talent to teach the monarch. But still
goes to some moral
compromise, drawing a parallel between “me-
fires and executions" "the beginning of the glorious days
Peter" and the bloody end of the uprising
Decembrists, where most of the victims
were people close to the poet.
How to explain this trade-off? First of all
out, A.S. was the true son of his
monarchical era. He believes in "slavery,
fallen due to the king’s delusion.”
Secondly, the poet, placing such a high
plank to Nicholas I, wants to soften the fate
their friends, inspiring the monarch that it was possible
“to win hearts with the truth” and “to tame morals
science." Alexander dreams of seeing
the throne of the wise king. Educated and conscientious
The great autocrat is the ideal of the Russian people.
However, persecution of freedom continued
thinking people. And not everyone survived.
Some bent their backs under all the cruelty
the growing pressure of reaction, others, begging
“sins of youth”, went to the tsa-camp
rizma. But the figure of the giant rose unshakably
ganta - figure a. He was one of
the few who continued to sing the song of Freedom
de, Equality and Fraternity.
My dagger shines with a golden finish;
The blade is reliable, without blemish;
Damask steel protects it with a mysterious temper -
The legacy of the abusive east.
He served as a rider in the mountains for many years,
Not knowing the fee for the service;
He drew a terrible mark across more than one breast
And he broke through more than one chain mail.
He shared fun more obediently than a slave,
He rang in response to offensive speeches.
In those days he would have had rich carvings
In an alien and shameful outfit.
He was taken beyond the Terek by a brave Cossack
On the cold corpse of the master,
And for a long time he lay abandoned then
In the Armenian's camp store.
Now the relatives, beaten in the war,
The poor companion is deprived of a hero,
He shines like a golden toy on the wall -
Alas, inglorious and harmless!
No one with a familiar, caring hand
Doesn't clean him, doesn't caress him,
And his inscriptions, praying before dawn,
No one reads with diligence...
In our age, pampered aren’t you, poet,
Lost my purpose
Having exchanged for gold the power whose light
Did you listen in silent reverence?
It used to be that the measured sound of your mighty words
Fired up the fighter for battle,
The crowd needed him like a cup for feasts,
Like incense during prayer hours.
Your verse, like God’s spirit, hovered over the crowd;
And, a review of noble thoughts,
It sounded like a bell on a veche tower,
On days of national celebrations and troubles.
But your simple and proud language is boring to us,
We are amused by glitter and deception;
Like old beauty, our old world is used to
Hide wrinkles under blush...
Will you wake up again, mocked prophet?
Or never, to the voice of vengeance
You can’t snatch your blade from a golden scabbard,
Covered with the rust of contempt?..
Analysis of the poem “Poet (My dagger shines with gold trim)” by Lermontov
After the poem, Lermontov received scandalous fame. High society, led by the emperor, saw him as a threat to the existing regime. Revolutionary and democratic circles considered him a worthy successor to Pushkin, glorifying the best ideals in his work. Lermontov indeed continued and developed many of the themes raised by Pushkin. One of them is the place and role of the poet in society. In 1838 he wrote the poem "The Poet", which can be considered his programmatic statement.
The work is based on a comparison of a dagger with a poet. The first part is devoted to the description of the “reliable blade”. For many years, the dagger fulfilled its immediate purpose, which was to kill people. Its value lay only in its sharpness. The terrible weapon did not need meaningless decorations. After the murder of the owner, the dagger lay with the merchant for a long time until it was purchased. Now he has become a harmless “golden toy” hanging on the wall. It is needed only to please someone's eyes. Military weapons turned into decorative decorations.
In the second part, Lermontov compares the dagger with a modern poet. A hint of the Decembrist era is clearly visible. The author believes that after the assassination of Pushkin there were no real poets left who could call the people to battle. Having sold themselves to power, contemporaries prefer not to touch upon pressing issues in their work, limiting themselves to describing nature or great figures. Literary activity has become a source of income; it is not capable of feats. Lermontov uses the symbolic image of the veche bell, which was popular among the Decembrists. It recalls the ancient Russian traditions of folk freedom.
The poet believes that in a modern deceitful and vicious society, geniuses and prophets cannot appear. People are so corrupt that they prefer not to notice the truth and hide it behind “glitter and deception.”
In the last stanza, the images of the dagger and the poet merge together. Lermontov expresses the hope that the day will come for the awakening of the “mocked prophet”, who will find the strength to draw a dagger and direct its tip against a rotten society. Until then, the dagger will become more and more covered with the “rust of contempt.”
The poem "Poet" belongs to the civil lyric poetry. Usually Lermontov stuck to the theme of the confrontation between the poet and the crowd, his loneliness. But in this case, he points to the civic duty and direct purpose of the poet. He was greatly influenced by the death of Pushkin and the reaction of society to this event. Lermontov realized how significant the role of a poet can be and what power his creativity has.

The main source of artistic power of Russian classical literature is its close connection with the people; Russian literature saw the main meaning of its existence in serving the people. “To burn the hearts of people with a verb” called on the poets A.S. Pushkin. M.Yu. Lermontov wrote that the mighty words of poetry should sound
…like a bell on the veche tower
On days of national celebrations and troubles.
N.A. gave his lyre to the struggle for the happiness of the people, for their liberation from slavery and poverty. Nekrasov. The work of brilliant writers - Gogol and Saltykov-Shchedrin, Turgenev and Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Chekhov - despite all the differences in artistic form and ideological content of their works, is united by a deep connection with the life of the people, a truthful depiction of reality, and a sincere desire to serve the happiness of the homeland. The great Russian writers did not recognize “art for art’s sake”; they were heralds of socially active art, art for the people. Revealing the moral greatness and spiritual wealth of the working people, they awakened in the reader sympathy for ordinary people, faith in the strength of the people, their future.
Since the 18th century, Russian literature has waged a passionate struggle for the liberation of the people from the oppression of serfdom and autocracy.
This is Radishchev, who depicted the autocratic system of the era as “a monster, mischievous, huge, grinning and barking.”
This is Fonvizin, who brought to shame the rude serf-owners like the Prostakovs and Skotinins.
This is Pushkin, who considered the most important merit that in “his cruel age he glorified freedom.”
This is Lermontov, who was exiled by the government to the Caucasus and found his premature death there.
There is no need to list all the names of Russian writers to prove the loyalty of our classical literature to the ideals of freedom.
Derzhavin took a lot from the rules of classicism. Here classicism is manifested in the depiction of the image of Catherine II, endowed with all sorts of virtues; in the harmony of construction; in a typical ten-line stanza for a Russian ode, etc.
But, contrary to the rules of classicism, according to which it was impossible to mix different genres in one work, Derzhavin combines ode with satire, sharply contrasting the positive image of the queen with the negative images of her nobles (G. Potemkin, A. Orlov, P. Panin).
A departure from classicism and in violation of strict rules in language. For the ode, a “high” style was required, and Derzhavin, along with a solemn and stately style, has very simple words (“You see through foolishness. Only evil is not tolerated”). And sometimes there are even lines of “low calm” (“They don’t dirty their faces with soot”).
Ode to "Lords and Judges" (read)
Derzhavin witnessed the Peasant War led by Pugachev and, of course, understood that the uprising was caused by excessive feudal oppression and the abuse of officials who robbed the people.
“As far as I could notice,” Derzhavin wrote, “this extortion produces the most grumbling among the residents, because anyone who has the slightest deal with them robs them.”
Service at the court of Catherine II convinced Derzhavin that blatant injustice reigned in the ruling circles.
In his ode, the poet angrily condemns the rulers for breaking laws, forgetting about their sacred civic duty to the state and society.
Your duty is to save the innocent from harm,
Give cover to the unfortunate;
To protect the powerless from the strong,
To free the poor from their shackles...
But, according to the poet, "Lords and Judges"
They won't listen! - they see and don’t know!
Covered with bribes of tow;
Atrocities shake the earth,
Untruth shakes the skies.
The civic pathos of the ode alarmed Catherine II, who noted that Derzhavin’s poem “contains harmful Jacobin intentions.”
Poem "Monument" (read)
“Monument” is a free adaptation of an ode by the ancient Roman poet Horace. But Derzhavin does not repeat the thoughts of his distant predecessor, but expresses his own point of view on the purpose of the poet and poetry.
He sees his main merit in the fact that he “dared... to speak the truth to kings with a smile.”
2.2.2 Zhukovsky Vasily Andreevich (1783 -1852)
“The captivating sweetness of his poems will pierce the envious distance of centuries” (A.S. Pushkin).
Zhukovsky was one of the most noble and charming personalities in Russian literature of the first half of the 19th century. Contemporaries spoke of his moral beauty, his exceptional honesty, purity, gentle nature, and considered him the conscience of Russian literature.
A special facet of Zhukovsky’s personality is his intercession for persecuted and persecuted people. Taking advantage of his stay at the royal court as a teacher of the empress and educator of the heir to the throne, he tirelessly interceded for writers, artists, and freedom lovers who had suffered royal disgrace. Zhukovsky not only contributed to the formation of Pushkin’s genius, but also saved him from death four times. After the death of the great poet, it was Zhukovsky who contributed (albeit with forced losses) to the publication of unauthorized Pushkin works.
It was Zhukovsky who helped deliver Baratynsky from the unbearable soldiery in Finland, sought to ease the fate of Lermontov, and contributed to the ransom of freedom not only for T.G. Shevchenko, but also the brilliant Shchepkin. It was he who softened the fate of Herzen, prompting Nicholas I to transfer him from distant Vyatka to Vladimir, close to the capital (Herzen himself told about this in the novel “The Past and Thoughts”); the poet interceded for Ivan Kireyevsky, who had lost the magazine he published, interceded for the Decembrist poets F. Glinka, V. Kuchelbecker, A. Odoevsky and others. All this caused discontent, open irritation, even anger among members of the imperial family and complicated the situation of Zhukovsky himself.
The poet protested against serfdom; in 1822 he himself freed his peasants from serfdom.
He was distinguished by directness and high citizenship. In 1812, he, a purely civilian man, joined the people's militia and glorified the militia in his works.
They persistently tried to make him a courtier, but he did not want to become a court poet.
Zhukovsky valued friendship extremely highly and was unusually devoted to it.
The poet was a monogamist and carried his love for one woman throughout his life. Having married at the end of his life, he devoted all his energy to caring for his terminally ill wife and raising his children.
The poet spent the last years of his life abroad, where he died. He was buried in St. Petersburg, in the cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
Poetry of Zhukovsky has a pronounced romantic character. In 1812, the poet joined the Moscow militia, took part in the Battle of Borodino and a little later wrote a poem
"A singer in the camp of Russian warriors."
The work includes many toasts proclaimed by the singer in honor of the famous Russian commanders of the past and present.
Zhukovsky’s enormous merit to Russian poetry is the development of the genre ballads, which became widespread in the literature of romanticism.
The ballad is plot-driven, dynamic, and loves to address the wonderful and the terrible. In romantic ballads, the content can be historical, heroic, fantastic, everyday, but each time it is conveyed through legend, belief, tradition.
"Lyudmila"- the first ballad created by Zhukovsky in 1808.
"Svetlana"(1813) is Zhukovsky’s most joyful work in the ballad genre.
