February 10 – Day of memory of Alexander Pushkin. In the five years before the death of the great poet Gogol wrote “A few words about Pushkin.” The article states: “Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and can be the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: it is the Russian people in its development, in which it may be, it will be through two hundred years.” It’s time to ask ourselves: we have already appeared the most “Russian people in its development”, as it was embodied in Pushkin? Observers “RG” made “for” and “against”
Pro
Paul Basinskii, writer, literary critic:.
Gogol was absolutely right. Simply, we understand his words incorrectly and too literally. Say, after 200 years will be the Russian people, like Pushkin.
Gogol, of course, was the more absurdist, but it is unlikely he meant it. It then turns out that Pushkin – is the one who will be 200 years. Yes, he has come! Why would he be once in 200 years? And 200 years what we doing
Gogol spoke of “Russian man in his development”

And here it is necessary to identify a number of basic things
the word “progress” for some reason, we have become unfashionable. and the word “liberal” has recently become altogether dirty. But “progress” means only development, but “liberalism” – it’s just the demand for freedom for the development of society. We have that, give up these categories? We want to live in the times of Ivan the Terrible called “Holy Russia”? Or we want to get back in the XIX century by no less beautiful name “The Golden Age”
One day at a book fair Vladimir Pozner asked: in what century he would prefer to live? He said, during the Renaissance. I wonder: in what capacity he is himself in that time? Surely as a poet, an artist. And why not a peasant, not a craftsman, who bent his back to know?
In the same way, those who dream of the “Golden Age”, certainly see themselves as aristocrats in the Prince Gagarin ball rather than serfs in smoky smoke huts.
Our great writers of the XIX century, were all in the best sense of the word “progressives” and “liberals.” They dreamed not that the Russian rolled back, and that she has developed. On the way education, public education, and – yes! – Gaining “freedom”. Exactly 155 years in February (old style) 1861 the best Russian people have made the abolition of serfdom. That is such a state of society where people were selling like pigs. Let us remember this great event, not how waltzing at a ball at Prince Gagarin.
During the Soviet regime, which I do not believe in some pitch-hell, we have achieved universal education and the possibility of representatives of the all social classes – peasants, workers – become the intelligentsia and make those “elite”, which wrote Virab. And, without a doubt, it was a tremendous progress

Today it’s a generation “not frightened” of young people. Good or bad, we will see. But these people, whether we like it or not, used to live in a world without borders, in the world of easy availability of any information and in a world in which any statement is possible through social networks, bypassing censorship and “bosses”. To this world, yes, you need to get used to. And I personally do not go to social networks. And I went to the Komsomol meeting. But most do not want.
And nobody Pushkin in social networks are not “has been banned”. It there is more than anyone else. It is quite surprising many. He became a kind of benchmark for the Russian people. I personally know people who have objections to the Pushkin. This Yesenin wonderfully written: “Dreaming of a mighty gift / One who Russian became destiny / I stand on Tverskoy Boulevard / I was standing and talking with a”
Yes, we are talking with Pushkin as. with themselves. 100 years after his death, 200, 300. And so on
Contra
Igor Virab, a columnist for “RG”:.
Of course, Gogol did not mean the “reincarnation” of Alexander, and “cloning” would be dismissed as a pious man. Although writers have turned it into a game, “return of Alexander.” Merry same name Pushkin
– this is Block said
Perhaps Nikolai, if meant something magical, just hoping that the air in a society in 200 years will be. otherwise, the atmosphere, which does not strangles, a medium that does not poison “the Russian people in its development”

Everyone knows by heart: the poet Pushkin loved and revered by the people. But who is he, the modern Pushkin “people”? The vast majority of the population in the age of serfdom and illiteracy. Reading people – it is the elite, educated society, beau monde and servicemen with rank, with money and power. Paradoxically, these same “elite” and Gogol had in mind when he said that “society has turned away from him.” Not seen in Pushkin (not talking about friends and acquaintances) “his”.
That’s why all the same and did not find the authors of anonymous lampoons, which became the last straw, the reason for the duel Pushkin? From a different explanation for strong sensations: the secrets of some non-random. Followed narrow and strings hovered around the same elite of Petersburg salons
The first set of works, 11 volumes published with the king’s approval in 1837 -. 1841, tried to spread by subscription, including under the order from above . Perm Governor Ogarev received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of 10 tickets for the subscription, I put them somewhere in a distant box, and five months later recalled and returned to the Minister Bludova: wishing, well, no … Each volume of this edition has a circulation equivalent to one or two thousand. By the end of the XIX century the circulation of new editions of Pushkin’s grown already up to 15 thousand
And then … God save us from reasoning, but that for the discrepancy:. Unrighteous power came on, and in 1937 (the 100th anniversary of death) shattered a large omnibus edition of 500 kDa and half a century later, in the 87th, uncontrolled mob so that the three-volume edition of Pushkin and bought up a circulation of 10 million 700 kDa
“in the devil leads us, it is seen”. Whether it is now, when they returned to the grace of antiquity: and circulation thinner and prices impregnable. Pushkin returned to “My Favorites”? Question – Is this Gogol dreamed
All new circle: because so it was always, every camp, every ideological bump accommodated poet’s own needs?. Pushkin is suitable as a transformer.
Well, Pushkin, Vyazemsky on, “was often Aeolian harp liberalism feasts on young people.” But it is necessary to record the poet in the “liberals,” he said at once, as once Chaadayev: yes, yes, “I am not admire all that I see around me” – “though” … That’s it, “even though” it says as a perfect “krymnash” nasty current “liberal”: “personally, I sincerely attached to the Emperor.” And further, does the latter “patriot”: “but upon my honor that for anything in the world I would not want to change the country or have a different history than the history of our ancestors, be what God gave it to us.” Why this return

We only provoke the construction of something vaguely-oligarchic, razomleli of God’s chosen new aristocratic merchants, Pushkin again about his: “What do you mean the aristocracy breed and wealth compared with the aristocracy writing talents no wealth can not outbid the influence promulgated thoughts “. And this is how to understand? If he’s so smart, why he was so poor!
We’re glad to Wikipedia, which replaced cursed the education system, and Pushkin could in fact fall on regulars social networks, seeing in them (as was once progressive Radishchev) ” ignorant contempt for all past, idiot amazement at his age, blind craving for novelty, private superficial information, random prinorovlennye to everything. ” Pushkin Pushkin – such as social networks quickly, “banned”
In Nabokov’s novel “The Gift,” a fictional diarist Suhoschekov played a certain Charles, who has long been in Russia was not and did not know of the death of Pushkin.. In the theater (giving “Othello”) issued for the poet random old man with disheveled tanks. Charles believed: Well, okay. But at the very hoaxer shivers down your spine: “What if it’s really Pushkin.” And if it is true – live
No, no, why do we need it?. And without that the nerves no good at all.
