As you know, Russian classical literaturehad a huge impact on the world. Until now, the works that Russian writers and poets wrote in time are still relevant. Now we will try to consider the most characteristic features characteristic of Russian classical literature, as well as the reasons that influenced the emergence of such a unique phenomenon.
As noted by many historians andliterary critics, the final period of the formation of the Russian artistic word is considered to be the 18th-19th century, when Russian classical literature was formed as a kind of worldview and aesthetic phenomenon, expressing features of the primordially Russian view of the world.
It was during this period that socialprerequisites for the formation of Russian artistic words, which, it would seem, can bring to life any experiences. It was at this time that great Russian writers and poets worked. Their imperishable works and are still being studied not only, say, in Russia, but also in many foreign countries.
The legacy of Russian writers is simply not hugeonly in its volume, but also in terms of its cultural value. Look, even Western cinema today reinterprets many vital values and takes pictures of such famous works of Russian classics as "Anna Karenina", "War and Peace", "Crime and Punishment", etc.
And this we are not talking about how many cartoons were created based on Pushkin's fairy tales, which often carried in themselves not only an artistic word, but also a huge philosophical load.
In general, as to how the Russianclassical literature, it can be noted that it departed from the Western callousness and formed at this time of discretion. The main role here was played by the immense Russian soul and Christian roots. Russian writers and poets tried to depict in their works, so to speak, the life truth, the life of the people, the sensuality and ingenuity of the Russian soul and experience peculiar to it.
Many experts, for example IAIlyin, one of the main factors that influenced the development of the Russian word, called Orthodoxy. Ilyin gives his understanding of this phenomenon, believing that it was insight and sophistication, and "art in Russia was born as an act of prayer." This was the "singing wisdom" that influenced the development of the entire literary genre in the world sense.
Russian classical literature in general and Russianwriters and poets in particular had a huge impact on the world literature. It was at that time completely different from all that was offered by the Western powers.
Russian classics have moved away from a certain one-sidednessWestern sentimentalism, enlightenment or romanticism. Of course, in the works you can find some techniques borrowed from Western literature, but they were used, so to speak, partly only for external perception, without touching the very essence of each literary work.
In addition, many writers of the time,especially Lomonosov, Fonvizin or Derzhavin, many tend to compare with Shakespeare, Rabelais, or Lope de Vega, which became the harbingers of the Western Renaissance.
Very often in studies of such phenomena asRussian classical literature mentions the fact that the beginning of its development is associated with the era of Peter I. Later, in the XIX century, Pushkin, Lermontov, Gogol and their contemporaries are believed to have brought the Russian artistic word to perfection and finally solved the problem of national identity.
It's no secret that a great influence on developmentRussian classics had and the Patriotic War of 1812. Russian writers and poets of war wrote at that time very much. Who does not know "Borodino" M. Yu. Lermontov or "Hussar ballads" Denis Davydov, who became a legend during his lifetime? In the works of many of them, the basic preference is given to the common people, even though they themselves left the nobility class. The same Pushkin could have been with the Decembrists on the Senate Square.
Separately it is worth noting that, despite sometragedy, which is found in many classics, very often you can meet and obvious caustic satire. Yes, take at least "Woe from Wit" Griboyedov, "Inspector General" Gogol or Krylov's fables.
Works of Russian writers and poetsdeserve all due respect. This is recognized by the whole world. Among the writers, it is difficult to single out one person whose merits to the Fatherland in the literary field would outweigh the others.
However, it is believed that the greatest impact onformation and development of Russian prose rendered Bolotov, Fonvizin, Karamzin, Zhukovsky, Griboedov, Gogol, Saltykov-Shchedrin, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Herzen, Goncharov, Turgenev, Ostrovsky, Nekrasov and many others. Their works showed the whole world how rich the Russian language is, capable of expressing and describing the slightest shades of the soul.
Of course, among the poets legislators adoptedconsider Lomonosov and Derzhavin, who paved a kind of bridge to Pushkin, Lermontov, and then Tyutchev, Fet, etc. In general, even among the writers of the Soviet period of the same Blok often classify the Russian poetic word.
A special role was played by Ivan Krylov, who wrote his ownfables. True, as it is now emerging, many of the stories he borrowed from the French writer Lafontaine, adapting and adapting them to the then Russian reality with pronounced hints.
By the way, if we carefully considerportraits of Russian writers and poets, they give an idea of that era, which was accompanied by an unprecedented rise of the artistic word. Externally - the nobility, in the soul - ordinary people, who are alien to the pompousness of royal secular receptions. Look, after all, how subtly many of them describe the human soul and its experiences! Probably, more than once many readers had a tear in their eyes when the same Gerasim stoked Mu-Mu. And this is not the only example.
As already mentioned above, despite itsnobility, very many writers of the time wrote about the common people and their problems. Yes, take at least such a well-known work as "To whom in Russia it is good to live?" There you can learn a lot for yourself, as well as learn a lot about the life of ordinary people.
Perhaps, outwardly the unification of Russian classics with commoners was not manifested, but they sincerely believed that the Russian soul in all its irresistible guise is manifested exclusively among the people.
Many grateful descendants and even contemporarieswrote almost odes to the writers of that time. Look, after all, even the same Lermontov code somehow created a still unfading masterpiece "The Death of a Poet", dedicated to the death of Pushkin in a duel with Dantes.
Yes what to say! Poets who wrote about the remarkable Russian classics can be listed almost endlessly. This Bryusov, and Balmont, and Ivanov, and Antokolsky, and Smelyakov, and many, many others.
Of course, in one article, consider all Russianclassics is simply impossible. However, it seems that the above-mentioned topic gives an idea of the great influence that Russian writers and poets have had on world literature. That is why it is not surprising that the West also studies Russian literary heritage and pays tribute to all that was created by Russian classics.
