The Reverse Side of the People’s War according to Nikolay Nekrasov
This article analyzes Nikolai Nekrasov’s poem Yes, Soldier! You in That War... (Tak, služba! sam ty v toj vojne..., published in 1856), which addresses the War of 1812. The narrative centers on a peasant recounting his involvement in the brutal murder of a French captive family, bringing to the fore the theme of excessive peasant violence during the people’s war. The poem is examined in the context of various discourses surrounding the 1812 campa…
"The White Hair with the Black Thought". A Study on Baratynskij’s Poem "There Were Storms, Bad Weather……"
This study is dedicated to the poem There Were Storms, Bad Weather... (Byli buri, nepogody...) (1839) by Еvgenij Baratynskij. The study analyzes in detail the semantic development of the text, leading to a strong and somewhat paradoxical ending that causes a particular emotional experience for the reader. To understand how the meanings of the poem are shaped in its semantic development is one of the aims of our study. Additionally, we analyze the…
Modernist poet as the singer of tales
The purpose of the article is to offer an explanation of the intertextual density characteristic of the poetry of Russian modernism. Intertextuality is viewed from two perspectives — the reader’s and the author’s. In terms of perceiving the text, intertextuality is not needed to “encode” the meaning of a work (according to Taranovsky’s and Ronen’s ideas, derived from the large intertextual theory) — it implements a memorial function (maintains th…
Nature, Hares, and Nikolay Nekrasov
This article analyzes two of the main aspects of Nikolay Nekrasov's poem for children, “Grandpa Mazai and the Hares” (1871)–the pedagogical and the ecological. The article demonstrates that this story about the rescue of hares during the spring flood, which is a standard selection in poetry readers in Russia, was intended as a graphic illustration of the “economic perspective” from which social elites viewed the Russian peasantry. But the story w…
First Love Is Exactly Like Revolution
This article tackles the allegorical mode of Russian realism using Ivan Turgenev's novella Spring Torrents (1872) and its political implications as a case study. We argue that this deeply intimate story of love and moral fall can be read in the context of the "social imaginary" which, in Turgenev's manner, is wrapped in motives and symbols correlating to "revolutionary" and "reactionary" discourses. The article shows how this projection emerges i…
The Soviet Writer Konstantin Vaginov
This article examines the prose of Konstantin Vaginov (1899–1934) through the prism of the theory of Soviet subjectivity. It analyzes four of Vaginov's novels ( Goat Song , Works and Days of Svistonov , Bambocciada , and Harpagoniana ) as examples of discursive praxis in the context of the creation of the “new Soviet person.” In each novel, Vaginov combines elements of both modernist and Soviet literature, but the authorial position invariably re…
Vladislav Khodasevich in the Emigration
Vladislav Khodasevich's literary activity in emigration (1922–39) may be described as a search for a new identity. Khodasevich's departure abroad induced a powerful self‐image crisis and resulted in the trauma of emigration, which silenced him as a poet. In his attempt to move past this creative crisis, he turned to the biographies of Gavrila Derzhavin and Aleksandr Pushkin. In writing the biographical narratives of the two great poets, Khodasevi…
