Rozhd Stevenski is a representative figure of Soviet youth poetry in 1950s and 1960s. He is good at writing political lyrics, which represents the novelty and philosophical tendency of contemporary Soviet poetry. In the form of poetry, the Soviet poetic circles think that he inherited the tradition of Mayakovski's ladder.
His long poem "2 10 Steps" is an outstanding achievement of Soviet contemporary poetry creation and is called "an important event in art". The so-called 2 10 step refers to the distance from Bath Cayata in the Kremlin to the mausoleum sentry when the sentry guarding Lenin's mausoleum in Red Square is changed, which is 2 10 step. The sentry's footsteps across the Red Square aroused the imagination of the lyric hero. The author rozhdestvensky fully praised the history of Russian people's struggle and development through the description of "2 10 Step", and deeply discussed a series of major issues that people care about, such as survival and death, war and peace, reality and history.
"2 10 Step" is divided into 14 chapters, and each chapter has a title in the following order: lyrical interlude about school classification, footsteps and names, historical interlude about wings, footsteps and labor, and non-lyrical interlude about roads, footsteps and wars. Each paragraph in the abstract of the above works is an outline of each chapter. From the content point of view, this chapter 14 seems to be an independent chapter, and the plot and time are not related, but in fact the whole work has an internal connection, especially the image of "footsteps" makes the whole work have an internal rhythm and emotional connection. At the same time, "footstep" is the "axis" of a long poem. It is that powerful step that makes the problems lingering in the protagonist's mind emerge one after another. These thoughts were interrupted, attracted and exaggerated by the rhythm and bell of changing posts, and pushed to a new realm and level. It is this kind of voice that triggered the poet to expand his imagination, roam in the space of thinking, cross the boundaries between time and space and life and death, explore and comment on all major issues, and describe the history and reality of the Soviet Union extensively.
First of all, in chapter 1, the long poem uses the metaphor of "passing" and "failing" in school grades (that is, "too late" and "too late") to raise important issues of human survival and destiny. The next chapter is the exploration and answer to this basic question. The poet came to Red Square to find the answer. He remembered the heroes who died for his country, the all-powerful figures, and saw the value of survival and heroic spirit (name) from them. He also praised the distant folk heroes (historical episode on wings) with romantic brushwork, highly praised the hardworking and selfless spirit of the Soviet people (labor), and then praised the contribution of the younger generation to the future of mankind (the beautiful quality of the future)
The poet uses these distant histories and recent realities to illustrate the purpose and significance of life. If the first half of a long poem is mainly about reviewing history and praising heroes, there is a kind of social passion for fighting, then the second half is more profound, the whole poem is more dignified, and the vision has shifted from domestic to international, from individuals to human beings, inspiring readers to fall into deep thinking and anxiety. In the exploration of war and peace (world), there are still war factors from human beings to nature. How to eliminate these factors and erase these hidden dangers is a major problem facing mankind. After expressing anxiety about war and peace, the lyric hero turns to the eternal theme of survival and death (bullets). Of course, just like treating war and peace, the poet failed to solve the mystery of life and death here, but the emotions expressed in it were thought-provoking, positive and inevitable, but the meaning of life was commendable.
At the end of the long poem, it goes back to "step 2 10". Structurally, it caused repercussions and gyrations. Footsteps, like the main melody melody of music, will never disappear. Although people will "turn into nothingness" and "turn into light fog", this 2 10 step will always exist, because here, this 2 10 step has become a symbol, which represents eternal truth, Lenin who is still alive, endless human beings and "the heartbeat of the century"
