Necrasov's poems are closely related to the Russian liberation movement, full of patriotism and civic responsibility. Many poems faithfully describe the life and feelings of the poor lower class people and Russian peasants, and are closely related to the political struggle at that time, so they are very ideological and combative, full of patriotism and civic responsibility. At the same time, he created a colloquial "civilian" poetic style. Poems describing the life of social hooligans and peasants represent the voices of millions of people and reflect the sufferings and aspirations of working people. He is known as the "people's poet", and his creation has had a great influence on Russian poetry and Soviet poetry.
Therefore, Lenin thought that Necrasov was a faithful expression of the peasant revolution. Lenin once compared him with the outstanding satirist Shedelin: "Necrasov and Saltikoff once taught Russian society to realize the extortionate interests of land and taught people to hate this hypocrisy and ruthlessness through the so-called educated camouflage appearance of serfdom landlords." Lenin loved Necrasov's poems, and often quoted his poems to expose liberalism, Menshevism, abolitionism and social chauvinism, thus lashing his opponents more vividly and forcefully.
