Lermontov wrote more than 400 lyric poems in his short creative career of 13 years, including famous poems such as Sail, Floating Clouds, Motherland, more than 20 long poems represented by Devil and Child Monk, as well as the script Masquerade and the excellent novel Contemporary Hero. The poet inherited the tradition of Pushkin and December poets, and took loving the motherland and praising freedom as the basic theme of poetry creation. His style is gloomy and vigorous, and he can not only use romanticism well, but also be good at realistic description.
Motherland was published in the April issue of 184 1. 1839, Khomyakov, a Russian Slavic poet, published a poem "Motherland", arguing that the greatness of Russia lies in the meekness of the people and the piety to the Orthodox Church. Imperial literati of the tsarist ruling group also used patriotism to show off their literary martial arts. Lermontov put forward his "strange love" for the motherland in a tit-for-tat way, and took the beautiful land and hardworking people of the motherland as the real connotation of the concept, showing that he wanted to know and get close to the people and share weal and woe.
