A monument to which the folk will not grow. "The folk path will not grow to him": who and where erected monuments to Pushkin

History of creation. The poem "I erected a monument to myself not made by hands ..." was written on August 21, 1836, that is, shortly before the death of Pushkin. In it, he sums up his poetic activity, relying on the traditions of not only Russian, but also world literature. Derzhavin's poem "Monument" (1795), which gained great fame, became an immediate model from which Pushkin started. At the same time, Pushkin not only compares himself and his poetry with his great predecessor, but also highlights the features characteristic of his work.

Genre and composition. According to genre characteristics, Pushkin's poem is an ode, but it is a special kind of this genre. She came to Russian literature as a common European tradition, originating in antiquity. It is not without reason that Pushkin took the lines from the poem of the ancient Roman poet Horace "To Melpomene" as an epigraph to the poem: Exegi monumentum - "I erected a monument." Horace is the author of "Satyr" and a number of poems that glorified his name. He created the message "To Melpomene" at the end of his creative path. Melpomene in ancient Greek mythology is one of the nine muses, the patroness of tragedy, a symbol of the performing arts. In this message, Horace assesses his merits in poetry .. Later on, the creation of this kind of poems in the genre of a kind of poetic "monument" became a stable literary tradition. Lomonosov, who was the first to translate the message of Horace, introduced it into Russian literature. Then a free translation of the poem with an assessment of his merits in poetry was made by G.R. Derzhavin, calling it "Monument". It was in it that the main genre features of such poetic "monuments" were determined. This genre variety was finally formed in Pushkin's "Monument".

Following Derzhavin, Pushkin divides his poem into five stanzas, using a similar form and length of the verse. Like Derzhavin's, Pushkin's poem was written in quatrains, but with a slightly modified size. In the first three lines, like Derzhavin, Pushkin uses the traditional. The odic meter is 6-foot iambic (Alexandrian verse), but the last line is written in 4-foot iambic, which makes it percussive and puts a semantic emphasis on it.

Main themes and ideas. Pushkin's poem is. a hymn to poetry. Its main theme is the glorification of true poetry and the establishment of the poet's high purpose in the life of society. In this, Pushkin acts as the heir to the traditions of Lomonosov and Derzhavin. But at the same time, despite the similarity of external forms with Derzhavin's poem, Pushkin largely rethought the problems posed, and put forward his idea of the meaning of creativity and its assessment. Revealing the theme of the relationship between the poet and the reader, Pushkin points out that his poetry is more addressed to a wide addressee. This can be seen. "From the very first lines." "The folk path will not grow to him," he says about his literary "monument." The first stanza is a traditional affirmation of the importance of a poetic monument in comparison with other ways to perpetuate merits .. But Pushkin introduces here the theme of freedom, which you are "through in his work, noting that his" monument "is marked by love of freedom:" He rose higher as the head of the rebellious Alexandrian pillar. "

The second, the stanza of all the poets who created such poems, affirms the immortality of poetry, which enables the author to continue to live in the memory of posterity: "No, all of me will not die - my soul is in the cherished lyre / My ashes will survive and decay will run away." But unlike Derzhavin, Pushkin, who experienced misunderstanding and rejection of the crowd in the last years of his life, emphasizes that his poetry will find a wider response in the hearts of people who are close to him in spirituality, creators, and this is not only about Russian literature, "About and about poets of the whole world:" And I will be glorious, as long as in the sublunary world / At least one drink will be alive. "

The third stanza, like Derzhavin's, is devoted to the development of interest in poetry among the widest layers of the people who were not previously familiar with it, and to widespread posthumous fame:

The rumor about me will spread throughout the great Russia,
And the breath that is in her will call me. language,
And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn, and now the wild
Tungus, and a Kalmyk friend of the steppes.

The fourth stanza carries the main semantic load. It is in it that the poet defines the main thing that constitutes the essence of his work and for which he can hope for poetic immortality:

And for a long time I will be so kind to the people,
That I awakened good feelings with my lyre,
That in my cruel age I have glorified freedom
And he called for mercy to the fallen.

In these lines, Pushkin draws the reader's attention to the humanity, the humanism of his works, returning to the most important problem of later work. From the point of view of the poet, the “good feelings” that art awakens in readers is more important than its aesthetic qualities. For the literature of the second half of the 19th century, this problem will become the subject of fierce discussions between representatives of democratic criticism and the so-called pure art. But for Pushkin, the possibility of a harmonious solution is obvious: the last two lines of this stanza return us to the theme of freedom, but understood through the prism of the idea of mercy. It is significant that in the initial version Pushkin wrote “after Radishchev” instead of the words “in my cruel age”. Not only because of censorship considerations, the poet refused such a direct indication of the political meaning of love of freedom. More important for the author of "The Captain's Daughter", where the problem of mercy and mercy was posed very sharply, was the affirmation of the idea of goodness and justice in their highest, Christian understanding.

The last stanza is a traditional appeal to the muse for “monuments” poems:

By the command of God, oh muse, be obedient,
Without fear of resentment, without demanding a crown,
Praise and slander were received indifferently
And don't dispute a fool.

In Pushkin, these lines are filled with a special meaning: they return us to the ideas expressed in the program poem The Prophet. Their main idea is that the poet creates according to the highest will, and therefore he is responsible for his art not before people, who are often unable to understand it, but before God. Such ideas were characteristic of Pushkin's later work and sounded in the poems "The Poet", "The Poet", "The Poet and the Crowd". In them, the problem of the poet and society arises with particular acuteness, and the fundamental independence of the artist from the opinions of the public is affirmed. In Pushkin's "Monument" this idea acquires the most capacious formulation, which creates a harmonious conclusion to reflections on poetic glory and overcoming death through divinely inspired art.

Artistic originality. The significance of the theme and the high pathos of the poem determined the special solemnity of its general sound. A slow, majestic rhythm is created not only due to the odic size (iambic with pyrrhic), but also due to the wide use of anaphora ("And I will be glorious ...", "And he will call me ...", "And the proud grandson of the Slavs ... "," And for a long time I will be so kind ... "," And mercy to the fallen .. "), inversion (" He ascended higher as the head of the rebellious Alexandrian pillar), syntactic parallelism and rows of homogeneous members ("And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn , and now the wild tungus ... "). The selection of lexical means also contributes to the creation of a high style. The poet uses sublime epithets (a monument not made by hands, a recalcitrant head, a cherished lyre, in the sublunary world, a proud grandson of the Slavs), a large number of Slavicisms (erected, as a head, peet, until). In one of the most significant artistic images of the poem, the metonymy is used - "That I awakened good feelings with my lyre ...". In general, all artistic means create a solemn hymn to poetry.

The meaning of the work. Pushkin's "Monument", which continues the traditions of Lomonosov and Derzhavin, stands in a special place in Russian literature. He not only summed up the work of Pushkin, but also marked that boundary, that height of poetic art, which served as a reference point for all subsequent generations of Russian poets. Not all of them strictly followed the genre tradition of the "monument" poem, as A.A. Fet, but every time a Russian poet addresses the problem of art, its purpose and assessment of his achievements, he recalls Pushkin's words: "I erected a monument to myself not made by hands,.,", Trying to get closer to its unattainable height.

Many contemporaries of A.S. Pushkin, even during his lifetime, predicted a special place for him in Russian and world literature. The well-known Russian critic V. G. Belinsky wrote about Pushkin: "The time will come when he will be a classical poet in Russia, according to whose creations not only an aesthetic, but also a moral feeling will be formed and developed." And history has shown that he was absolutely right.

A.S. Pushkin left behind an invaluable legacy. The writer drew themes for his works from the depths of life. He subjected reality to bold criticism and at the same time found in it ideals that were close to the people. And from the height of these ideals, he evaluated all the events and phenomena of life. Pushkin became a truly national poet, the soul of the people, his voice. In his work, he raised issues that worried both the poet's contemporaries and subsequent generations.

Deeply, vividly and vividly expressing personal experiences in his poems, the poet is not limited only to a personal theme. In his works, there is always a genuine interest in other people, in the fate of the people and the country. And this social topic worries the author as sincerely as a personal one. It is about this - about the meaning of life and the purpose of the poet - he says in the poems "The Poet", "The Prophet" and many others.

Bypassing seas and lands

Burn the hearts of people with the verb.

This is how Pushkin understood his task and made high demands on himself. A poet can live a calm life while his poetic spirit "tastes a cold dream." But there comes a moment when "the poet's soul flutters like an awakened eagle", "prophetic apples" will open and he will see what is inaccessible to the eyes of an ordinary person, he will begin to hear "shudder of the sky", "a reptile underwater passage and a valley vine vegetation" ... Creativity is a great work and feat, and a poet should be inspired by a big and important idea. Poetry, according to Pushkin's firm conviction, must strictly follow the truth, devotedly serve freedom, beauty, goodness and justice. The strictest judge of his work is the poet himself:

You are your own supreme court

You know how to evaluate everyone stricterly your work.

Are you satisfied with it, discerning artist?

Satisfied? So let the crowd scold him ...

The author calls on the poet not to pay attention to the opinion of the crowd, to be indifferent to blasphemy and praise. After all, praise, insult and slander are temporary. Only devotion to one's lofty ideals is constant. And these requirements and tasks Alexander Sergeevich strove to follow all his life. He constantly lived the life of his country, its joys and sorrows, its successes and sufferings, its glory and pain.

Pushkin was a poet of freedom: his work appeals to freedom - political and spiritual, freedom from slavery and prejudice. He dedicated it to serving man, the struggle for happiness and justice. "A poet is an echo of the world," wrote M. Gorky.

Pushkin was a poet for the elite, and at the same time, characteristic, typical experiences and feelings, understandable and close to most people, are reflected in his works. So, in the poem "Village", the ode "Liberty" reflected the thoughts and aspirations of progressive-minded strata of society. And the poems "I loved you ..." or "I remember a wonderful moment ..." contain sincere tender feelings that have worried and will always excite the hearts of all people, regardless of their views and political convictions.

Pushkin was a "poet of reality", all the variety of life phenomena found a response in his work, the whole colorful living world excited the "gentle mind" of the poet. And throughout this world, in every detail imperceptible at first glance, he knew how to find the beauty and harmony hidden in it. N. V. Gogol asked himself the question: "What was the subject of his poetry?" And the answer was obvious and startling: "Everything became her subject ... Thought grows dumb before the innumerable number of her subjects."

In his poem "I am a monument to myself ..." the poet expresses the hope that future generations will understand and appreciate him, love his poetry because it awakens the best feelings. With all his creativity, all his life, all thoughts, aspirations and deeds of A.S. ... Pushkin erected a "miraculous monument" for himself, to which the "folk path" has not overgrown for many years and will probably never overgrow.

Many contemporaries of A.S. Pushkin, even during his lifetime, predicted a special place for him in Russian and world literature. The famous Russian critic VG Belinsky wrote about Pushkin: "The time will come when he will be a classical poet in Russia, according to whose works they will form and develop not only an aesthetic, but also a moral feeling."

I apologize in advance to the representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but I'll start with the monument to Lenin at the entrance to Gorky Park. I have long been bothered by the question that comrades from other cities are constantly asking during walks in the city center. This is roughly the situation:

And this is our central park ...
- In the name of Lenin?
- No, named after Gorky.
- Strange: the park named after Gorky, and the monument to Lenin ...

A historical misunderstanding has occurred with the monument to the leader of the proletariat. The monument to Lenin appeared in 1929, and the park received the name of Gorky later, in 1936. After Alexei Maksimovich's return to the USSR in 1932, for some reason, the "Gorky epidemic" of renaming city parks hit: Moscow, Taganrog, Rostov, Alma-Ata, Minsk, Odessa, Kazan, Samara - only about two dozen.

In general, you need to be more careful with monuments, obelisks, busts, decorative figures and other delights of artistic creativity. Let's not go far from the park: a monument to a plumber and his faithful cat appeared last year at the corner of Soborny and Bolshaya Sadovaya lane. I have nothing against the creation of the sculptor Mikhail Ushakov, but the question arises about the choice of location. Of course, neither a plumber, nor a sleeper, nor an employee of the beef cutting workshop has been ordered to the temple, against which the alley rests. And yet: why exactly to the master of sewer works, but right in the very center of the city, and necessarily near the central Orthodox church?

Maybe it would be more appropriate next to Vodokanal? It is clear that the new time gives rise to new "trends" - forgive me, Lord! - and the plumber, excuse the pun, "got into the stream." It has already been captured in Moscow, Perm, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Krasnoyarsk ... Well, at least the park was not renamed. But they could well - "The Park of Culture and Rest named after the Plumber Potapov."

Everything has its place. A monument to the reader near the building of "Evening Rostov" - I realize. The figure of the Rostov merchant with Barsik does not cause rejection. But the sorcerer of the plunger and toilet bowl, wedged in between Lenin and Dimitri Rostovsky - in my opinion, too much. I dare not insist, but ...

There are other examples as well. Here, next to the stadium "Olymp-2" last year, a memorial to the Chernobyl heroes was opened. There is a separate conversation about the artistic merits of the building. But why exactly next to the stadium, the name of which also gives rise to some ambiguity? In our today's view, "the Olympian", "the path to Olympus", "Olympic heights" are firmly connected with sports, with the positive, with victories. “Chernobyl on the way to Olympic heights” sounds blasphemous ... Hardly anyone will remember the mountain abode of the Greek gods, where heroes were sometimes taken.

Or last year's Boeing crash in Rostov, which claimed the lives of 62 people. In March of this year, a memorial was opened in memory of the lost passengers ... right next to the airport! People! What are you doing ?! And the memorial is necessary, and it is made on a high level - but think about living passengers! Is this a good parting word, a wish for a happy flight?

Of course, the stadium can be renamed, the airport will move to another location. Not about that conversation. You just have to turn on the mind sometimes.

Let's walk along Pushkinskaya. At one time, the sculptor Anatoly Sknarin created an original composition of three patterned "Pushkin" balls. It naturally fits into the boulevard space, looks great, creates an atmosphere of familiarization with the poet's work. But here's the bad luck:! The composition is not completed, "Pushkin's Tales" did not find their rightful place next to scenes from the life of the poet and from the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin". A bald spot under the ball exists and creates discomfort for the eyes and soul. Maybe it makes more sense to do just that, rather than plumbers? With all my respect for them and somewhere even reverence.

In general, it seems to me that sometimes it would be nice to discuss ideas for new monuments, busts, decorative figured compositions with the inhabitants of the city.

For example, I consider the monument to Chekhov by the same Sknarin on the same Pushkinskaya as an undoubted success. It has its own zest: children and even adults easily climb the pedestal, taking pictures for memory, the writer literally becomes closer to the reader.

But someone may disagree with me. Someone is sick of such a "free attitude" to monuments. That is why I agree when the fate of many of the sculptors' works is not decided by a national referendum. And yet it is not a sin sometimes to listen to the voice of the people.

At least when choosing personalities to perpetuate. For example, I am ashamed that there is still no monument to the legendary man in Rostov - the Soviet officer Alexander Pechersky, who organized and led the only successful mass escape of prisoners from the Nazi concentration camp in the history of World War II. Several documentaries were shot about Pechersky, in 1987 in Hollywood director Jack Gold directed the blockbuster "Escape from Sobibor", where the role of our fellow countryman was played by Rutger Hauer. The monument to the hero stands in Israel; in 2016, by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Pechersky was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, although I think he deserves the title of Hero of Russia. Yes, there is a memorial plaque in Rostov and Pechersky Street. But such a person must also have a monument.

Fast forward to Pushkinskaya again. Last year, busts of front-line writers Mikhail Sholokhov, Anatoly Kalinin and Vitaly Zakrutkin appeared here. It is a sacred thing to perpetuate their memory. But not the same! One gets the impression that you are walking along the alley of a cemetery. The necropolis at the Kremlin wall. In my opinion, the decision is monstrous. One thing is the bust of Yuri Zhdanov next to the university library, although some may also disagree with me, another is the mournful row, where only gravestones are missing.

It's not about taste: they say, someone likes a watermelon, someone likes a pork cartilage. We are not talking about how to furnish our own apartment, there is even a stake on the head, we are discussing the appearance of our hometown. Unfortunately, I am sure that I have not named even a tenth of the absurd creations that disfigure our city. I hope the readers will help refresh my memory and complete the list. And someone, probably, will categorically disagree with me. Well, let's discuss?

READING

The reigns of the emperors Alexander II, Alexander III and Nicholas II are the "golden years" of charity and mercy. At this time, a whole system of guardianship began to take shape. Among the representatives of the reigning House of Romanov were real ascetics of charity and mercy: Empress Maria Alexandrovna, Alexandra Fedorovna, Maria Fedorovna (mother of Nicholas II), Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna (now Holy Martyr Elizabeth), Alexandra Petrovna (now a close nun of Kiev) Anastasia of the imperial family, Prince Peter of Oldenburg is the trustee of the Kiev charity house for the poor, the patron of the Eye Clinic. Many members of the House of Romanov at their own expense built charitable institutions, shelters and almshouses, actively patronized institutions of mercy.

The tradition of Russian philanthropy was disrupted by the 1917 revolution. All funds of public and private charitable organizations were nationalized in a short time, their property was transferred to the state, and the organizations themselves were abolished by special decrees.

Olympiad "Our Heritage" cooperates with the Orthodox help service "Mercy".

27 projects of the service are located in different parts of Moscow, and some programs are extended to the whole country. The service "Mercy" is a single organism, a single service for helping the most disadvantaged: lonely old people, disabled people, pregnant women who find themselves without a roof over their heads, orphans, homeless people, HIV-infected.

One of the key features of the "Mercy" service is the availability of its own infrastructure, thanks to which comprehensive, professional and long-term assistance is provided to permanent wards. St. Sophia Social House, Rehabilitation Center for Children with Cerebral Palsy, Elizabethan Orphanage, St. Spiridonyevskaya Almshouse, House for Mom and many other projects are non-governmental non-profit institutions that are part of the Mercy service.

80% of the service "Mercy" exists on donations, so the fate of all those whom the service helps depends on how regularly donations are received from benefactors. The service "Mercy" has about 400 permanent wards - those about whom the employees of "Mercy" take care of from year to year. These are orphans brought up in orphanages and state boarding schools, lonely old people in an almshouse, disabled adults in a neuropsychiatric boarding school and others. In just a year, the "Mercy" service helps more than 20,000 people in need.

It will be great if at least once a year each participant of our Olympiad consciously refuses, for example, from buying ice cream and transfers these funds to support one of the services "Mercy" https://miloserdie.help/projects/.

Together we can do a lot of good things.

Pushkin A.S.

An essay based on a work on the theme: "A monument to which the folk path will not grow"

Bypassing seas and lands

Burn the hearts of people with the verb.

This is how Pushkin understood his task and made high demands on himself. A poet can live a calm life while his poetic spirit "tastes a cold dream." But there comes a moment when "the poet's soul will shake like an awakened eagle", "prophetic apples" will open and he will begin to see what is inaccessible to the eyes of an ordinary person, he will begin to hear the "shudder of the sky," ... Creativity is a great work and feat, and a poet should be inspired by a big and important idea. Poetry, according to Pushkin's firm conviction, must strictly follow the truth, faithfully serve freedom, beauty, goodness and justice. The strictest judge of his work is the poet himself:

You are your own supreme court

You know how to evaluate everyone stricterly your work.

Are you satisfied with it, discerning artist?

Satisfied? So let the crowd scold him.

Pushkin was a poet for the elite, and at the same time, characteristic, typical experiences and feelings, understandable and close to most people, are reflected in his works. So, in the poem "Village", the ode "Liberty" reflected the thoughts and aspirations of progressively minded strata of society. And in the poems "I loved you." or "I remember a wonderful moment." there are sincere tender feelings that have worried and will always excite the hearts of all people, regardless of their views and political convictions.

Pushkin was a "poet of reality", in his work all the variety of phenomena of life found a response, the whole colorful living world excited the "gentle mind" of the poet. And throughout this world, in every detail imperceptible at first glance, he knew how to find the beauty and harmony hidden in it. N. V. Gogol asked himself the question: "What was the subject of his poetry?" And the answer was obvious and startling: “Everything became her subject. Thought grows dumb before the countlessness of its objects. "

In his poem "I am a monument to myself." the poet expresses the hope that future generations will understand and appreciate him, love his poetry for the fact that it awakens the best feelings. With all his creativity, all his life, all thoughts, aspirations and deeds, A.S. Pushkin erected a "miraculous monument" for himself, to which the "folk path" has not overgrown for many years and will probably never overgrow.
