1. Author introduction:
Lermontov is one of the few talented writers in the history of Russian and Soviet literature who are praised as "national poets" (in belinsky) by classical writers. Besides him, there are Pushkin who was honored as a "national poet" by Nikolai Gogol and belinsky before him and Ye Saining who was honored as a "national poet" by Gorky after him. Lermontov was full of anxiety all his life and was famous for caring for the country and people. Lermontov inherited and developed the tradition of Pushkin and December Party members praising freedom and resisting tyranny, mourned the sunset in Pushkin's Russian poems with a shocking poem "The Death of a Poet", and announced the birth of another great poet. He took over the traditional banner of resisting tyranny. Lermontov is a Russian writer who has made unique achievements in many literary forms such as poetry, novel and drama. His unique lyric poet temperament makes all his works full of poetic and picturesque feelings, and plays a powerful rebellious tone. Lermontov was born at an inopportune time and felt depressed in the dark kingdom of Tsar Nicholas I all his life. The tragic situation gave birth to the rebellious spirit in his heart and cast the image of the devil in his works. For lermontov's era, life is a sea of misery, but he is not willing to let his genius die. The persistent pursuit of artistic beauty has become the only destination for him to rebel against reality and realize the life value of his talent.
2. Background of the times:
Motherland was published in the April issue of 184 1. Poetry expresses the "strange love" for the motherland, and clearly denies the hypocritical and even reactionary patriotism advocated by the czar's ruling group. Hermiakov, a Slavic poet representing the interests of the conservative aristocratic landlord class, once wrote a poem called Motherland, which was published in 1839. He believes that the greatness of Russia lies in the meekness of the Russian people and their devotion to the Orthodox Church. Lermontov put forward his own different views in a tit-for-tat manner, and through touching and convincing image description, pointed out that true patriotism is inseparable from the thoughts and feelings of loving the mountains and rivers of the motherland and the working people.
3. Famous comments:
After the publication of this poem, belinsky praised it as "the best Pushkin-style poem", and Dobro Lyubov thought that the poet had reached "a true, sacred and rational understanding of loving the motherland".
