"THE ROLE OF THE LANDSCAPE IN THE DISCLOSURE OF THE CHARACTER OF THE HERO ON THE STORY OF IS TURGENEV" ASYA "

Lukanina Marina Yurievna

teacher of Russian language and literature, MAOU Lyceum No. 8, Tomsk

The Swiss philosopher Henri Aligel, not without reason, believed that the landscape in art is, first of all, the state of mind of the artist. There are works, sometimes not even the most ambitious in the heritage of this or that classic, in which, however, many ideological and creative features the writer, his favorite thoughts sound, his perception of the circumstances and the characters in them.

IS Turgenev was convinced that man is connected with nature "by a thousand indissoluble threads: he is her son." He would later say about this in his review of "Notes of a Gun Hunter" by S.T. peace of mind... The writer advocated "real, warm and lively descriptions" in which the smallest shades of the landscape would obey the general tone of the image, therefore Turgenev is attracted by balanced, peaceful, meek nature, and not its spontaneous, chaotic manifestations, but how much hidden drama his landscape sketches contain - a means of revealing the character of a character. The story "Asya" has become such a work in which "the story of a human soul", a love story is given through the prism of a landscape. As part of the storyline, the landscape plays out here important role and in describing the circumstances occurring in the story, in addition, as in poetry, it helps to understand the inner world of Asya and Mr. N.N., performs the function of psychological parallelism, and it is through the description of the landscape that Turgenev will convey the mental and emotional state of the main characters.

If Dostoevsky's landscape is the background against which events unfold, additional remedy for a more expressive image actors, then for Turgenev this, along with Asya and Mr. NN, is one of the heroes of the story, another “I” of the author, helping to understand and characterize the inner world, the development of the soul, the character of the character. The writer justly noted: “… everywhere you see the author instead of nature; and a man is only strong when he relies on it. " This observation of Turgenev, an artist, is fundamental: not to replace nature with oneself, not to assimilate to oneself, but to rely on it in search and acquisition of creative powers.

In "Asa" such a view of nature is formed, which would be "in accordance with its true meaning", And for this it is necessary -" to separate from oneself and ponder over the phenomena of nature. " Certainly "live observation of nature" - the hardest way comprehension of its laws and the only possible word for the artist.

At the beginning of the story, Mr. N.N. separates the natural world from the human world, for him the diversity of faces is much more understandable: “... living faces, human faces- the speech of people, their movements, laughter - this is what I could not do without ”, but nature is incomprehensible to him, and he cannot respond to its beauty or mystery, cannot be harmonious to it. It is also noteworthy that the hero does not perceive the surrounding beauty of nature as a whole, he does not see himself in it - this is an eloquent characteristic of the inner content of Mr. N.N., he is clearly not a romantic, rather, the pragmatic and rational is closer to him.

Despite the modesty and unpretentiousness of the Rhine landscape, it is dignified and mysterious precisely in its simplicity, although in Turgenev's interpretation of nature there are many echoes of the popular understanding of its elemental forces, in which there is "nothing clever and tricky." So far, only the moon lonely illuminates both the city and Mr. N.N. It is her light in the night sky that is reflected in the calm waters of the Rhine. Not being part of natural world, the main character, nevertheless, he loves to look at the great river, and in the future, all the vicissitudes of his fate and love will be reflected in the water surface. It is no coincidence that the mention of a paper boat, which is launched by local children on a big voyage. This is a symbol of the love of Mr. N.N. and Asi, about whom nothing has been said yet, but the presentiment of something huge and real is already hovering very close.

The next morning of the young storyteller where the sea reigns sunlight, a noisy merchant in the garden and on the streets of the town, filled with the cheerful noise of people, the "innocent flirtation of youth" - all this prepares the appearance of the one whose name the story is named after.

Anna - Asya - "gracious", "gift from God", "born again" - the meaning of the names is not accidental. In the future, the author of the always pretty and graceful Anna will be called Asya, perhaps soon her new birth, but what: happy or ... The meaning of names and names in Turgenev is always significant. Mr. N.N., who does not like Russians abroad. he gets to know and converges closely with the Russians: “We live outside the city,” Gagin continued, “in a vineyard, in a lonely house, high up. It's nice here, take a look. " The vineyard leitmotif, which first appears in this context, and then the accompanying narrow steep path - the personification of remoteness from everyone, loneliness, life trials the main character, which will soon affect Mr. N.N. Subsequently, this leitmotif will become the main one and will pass through the entire story.

The picturesque contrast of the "scarlet subtle light on the green vine" visually distinguishes the "cold" heart of the young storyteller and the exuberant, lively, direct in her wildness Asya, who received the external attributes of a noblewoman (silk dress, living in a manor house, ostentatious respect of servants). However, if we talk about the psychology of the development of her soul, then here the girl was not deprived. Peace natural forces and her feelings, emotions will always be in close contact. The seeker, open to all sincere Asya, will find a response in the whole world around her: “The Rhine lay in front of us all silver, between the green shores; in one place it burned with the crimson gold of the sunset. (…) It was good below, but above it was even better: I was especially struck by the purity and depth of the sky, the radiant transparency of the air. Fresh and light, it rolled in waves ... ”Mr. N.N. as if re-discovering everything around him, but "transparency", radiance, purity and depth are already in Asa, in her future feeling, and the ripples of the waves are the mobility and variability of the restless heroine, these are those specific traits natures, which at first will be a secret for the young storyteller, and the solution will be very simple.

Again the light of the moon, illuminating the Rhine, and young people, and life path, which will not be easy for both, the light that is prophetic in the fate of Asya: “I jumped into the boat and said goodbye to my new friends. Gagin promised to visit me the next day; I shook his hand and held out mine to Asya; but she just looked at me and shook her head. The boat departed and rushed along fast river... The carrier, a cheerful old man, was tensely plunging the oars into the dark water.

You drove into the lunar pole, you broke it! - Asya shouted to me. "

This interesting and well-known metaphor, talking about a future tragedy, about a broken life and love, is the beginning of that “golden bridge across the whole river” that will open the soul and heart of Mr. N.N. for "odorous air", "freshness of dew", "songs of larks", for everything that he had not noticed before. The hero crossing the river is a warning to the author endowed with the rich life experience, Mr. N.N. himself, due to his age, still does not understand everything. Nature, living in unison with Asya, will now smoothly intrude into the life of a young storyteller, not only that, but their commonality will be realized also at the author's level, in that layer of the narrative that belongs equally to both the narrator and the author.

A wild apple tree, nettles, acacia - this is the world that surrounds Asya, understandable to her, of which she is a part; the symbol of love is also indicative - a geranium branch thrown from a window, as if returning us to chivalrous times; bright, juicy power of feeling, which will literally dry up over time, but will remain a bitter reminder of the love that occurs "once in a thousand years." The author's view turns out to be much deeper, the hero-narrator will come to an understanding of the metaphorical side of events only by the end of the story. It was this love that stirred the soul of Mr. N.N., and he suddenly felt the “steppe smell of the homeland”, saw the “hemp patch” - and immediately a storm of emotions and thoughts arose in this hitherto very balanced person: “Her steppe smell instantly reminded me of my homeland and aroused in my soul a passionate longing for her. I wanted to breathe Russian air, walk on Russian soil. " And immediately a rhetorical question arises: "What am I doing here, why am I dragging myself in a stranger's side, between strangers?" - the answer to it is clear to us thanks to Asya, in addition, this is the starting point of his love for the heroine. But these are the thoughts of I.S. Turgenev himself. The time of the creation of the story is 1857, the reform of 1861 is being prepared, a time of difficult disputes, opinions, worries. The writer cannot stand aside and introduces into the story the biography of Asya, the daughter of a serf, and all this against the backdrop of a magnificent river, air saturated moonlight, the sounds of a waltz, love. The story is filled with psychological details that are precise and short in form, but contain a deep description of the heroes, and therefore for the author there is the possibility of such a story about them, which N.G. Chernyshevsky will call "secret psychology", it is also noteworthy that best landscapes stories are associated with the emotional experiences and movements of the heroes, filled with their inner life: “The mood of my thoughts had to just match the calm nature of that land” or “A steamer was running along the Rhine in the distance. We began to look at him. (…) “To go somewhere far away, to prayer, to a difficult feat,” she continued. - And then the days go away, life will go away, but what have we done? " Continuation of these thoughts we will meet with IA Bunin in "Clean Monday".

The tenth chapter is a kind of Rubicon for a young storyteller, he is open to love, he wants it to appear, and this feeling of "all-encompassing desires" is again emphasized by the calm waters of the Rhine, the starry sky, "the whisper of the wind", and the hero is watching the river, and is already floating in boat downstream, sailing towards something long-awaited and, probably, tragic: "... anxiety grew in me."

The connection between the laws of balance in nature and the laws of balance in the work is amazing. As there are bends, kinks, surprises, their "suddenly" in nature, so they are in the story: the crossing of the Rhine, and the first and last love meeting ended traditionally - Mr. N.N. considered marrying a seventeen-year-old girl, “with her disposition,” stupidity, and “getting married at such a time” (meaning late evening) was a direct violation of secular conventions; "You have to wait for the next day." But the next day did not become the day of happiness, about which the nightingale seemed to sing on the eve. Now the loving Mr. N.N. lost his love forever, discovering a simple truth: “Happiness has no tomorrow; he does not have yesterday; it does not remember the past, does not think about the future; he has a present - and that is not a day, but a moment. "

Immediately after publication, the story became the center of critical attention. N.G. Chernyshevsky ranked N.N. To " superfluous people", Accusing him of moral and social inconsistency, P.A. Annenkov, on the contrary, saw in such a "weak person" the bearer of the foundations of morality and humanity. However, both critics noticed in Turgenev's hero some human incompleteness, weakness, lack of will, which did not allow him to keep love and become happy.

The undertaken analysis of the story, considering the role of the landscape in revealing the character of the hero, allows one to deeply understand the structure, and through it, the meaning of the work. Our modern attitude to nature, supplemented by the experience of complex reflections and creative comprehensions of I.S. Turgenev, who was one of the first to penetrate the dialectics of tragedy and the harmony of the relationship between man and nature.

Ivan Turgenev's story "Asya" is sometimes called the elegy of unfulfilled, missed, but so close happiness. The plot of the work is simple, because it is not external events that are important to the author, but the spiritual world of the heroes, each of which has its own secret. In revealing the depths of spiritual states loving person the author is also helped by the landscape, which in the story becomes the “landscape of the soul”.

Here we have the first picture of nature, introducing us to the scene, a German town on the banks of the Rhine, given through the perception of the protagonist. O young man loving walks, especially at night and in the evening, peering into clear sky with a motionless moon pouring out a serene and exciting light, observing the slightest changes in the world around him, we can say that this is a romantic, with deep, sublime feelings.

This is further confirmed by the fact that he immediately felt sympathy for his new acquaintances Gagin, although before that he did not like meeting Russians abroad. The emotional closeness of these young people is also revealed with the help of the landscape: the Gagins' dwelling was located in a wonderful place, which was attracted first of all by Asya. The girl immediately attracts the attention of the narrator, her presence, as it were, illuminates everything around.

“You drove into the lunar pole, you broke it,” Asya shouted to me. For Turgenev, this detail becomes a symbol, because the broken moon pillar can be compared with the broken life of Ashina, the broken dreams of a girl about a hero, love, flight.

The continuing acquaintance with the Gagins sharpened the senses of the narrator: he is attracted to a girl, he finds her strange, incomprehensible and surprising. The jealous suspicion that Gagins are not brother and sister makes the hero seek peace in nature: “The mood of my thoughts had to match the calm nature of that land. I gave myself all to the quiet game of chance, the accumulated impressions ... "The following is a description of what the young man saw during these three days:" a modest corner of the German land, with unpretentious contentment, with ubiquitous traces of used hands, patient, albeit unhurried work ... "But the most important thing here is the remark that the hero "gave himself up to the quiet game of chances." This phrase explains the contemplative nature of the narrator, his habit of mentally not straining himself, but going with the flow, as depicted in Chapter X, where the hero actually floats home in a boat, returning after a conversation that excited him with Asya, who opened her soul to him. It was at this moment that the merger with nature in the inner world of the hero takes place new turn: what was vague, alarming, suddenly turns into an undoubted and passionate thirst for happiness, which is associated with the personality of Asya. But the hero prefers to thoughtlessly surrender to oncoming impressions: “I'm not only about the future, I'm about tomorrow I didn't think I was very good. " Everything further is happening rapidly: the excitement of Asya, the realization of the hopelessness of her love for the young aristocrat (“I have grown wings, but nowhere to fly”), a difficult conversation with Gagin, a dramatic meeting of the heroes, which showed the complete “winglessness” of the narrator, a hasty flight of Asya, a sudden departure of brother and sister. For that a short time the hero gets his sight, a reciprocal feeling flares up, but it's too late, when nothing can be corrected.

Having lived for many years as a familyless boar, the narrator keeps as a shrine the girl's notes and a dried geranium flower, which she once threw to him from the window.

Asya's feeling for Mr. NN is deep and irresistible, it is “unexpected and as irresistible as a thunderstorm,” according to Gagin. Detailed descriptions of the mountains, the powerful flow of rivers symbolize the free development of the heroine's feelings.

Only this "insignificant grass" and its light smell remained for the hero from that beautiful, integral world of nature and the world of Asya's soul, merged together into the brightest, important days life of Mr. N. N., who lost his happiness.

    The story "Asya" makes the reader think about love once again. No one argues that love is the most beautiful, sublime and noble feeling in the world, but, unfortunately, we are far from always able to understand whether the feeling experienced is really ...

    The term "Turgenev girl" hides the image of captivating heroines with special qualities of the soul with a dramatic fate. Asya "The Turgenev Girl" from the story "Asya" is a girl with an unusual destiny. Turgenev saturates not the external, but the internal ...

    Surely each of us knows that there are times when just one word can completely change a person's life. This is exactly what happened to the protagonist of Ivan Turgenev's story "Asya". A young man N.N., traveling across Europe, in one ...

    At the time of the creation of the story "Asya" (1859) I. S. Turgenev was already considered an author who had a significant influence on social life in Russia. The social significance of Turgenev's work is explained by the fact that the author clothed the gift of seeing in the ordinary ...

Man cannot but be occupied with nature, he is connected with it

a thousand unbreakable threads: he is her son!

I.S. Turgenev.

DURING THE CLASSES

1. Organizational moment.

2. Actualization of knowledge.

I.S. Turgenev said: “A person cannot but be occupied with nature, he is connected with her by a thousand unbreakable threads: he is her son! ..” We constantly feel this connection with nature - “a thousand unbreakable threads” throughout our life: it is also in the change of times years, and in a strict sequence of periods human life: childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age, and in the influence on the physical and mental condition a person, and in an ecological environment, which so formally declared itself in recent times.

We feel nature in a special harmony musical sounds, and in a unique color paintings, and in the lyrical descriptions of the word artists. But, unfortunately, we are not always able to understand her, open our souls to meet her greatness and beauty. I hope that today's lesson will help you with this.

2. Student message... From the very beginning of his career, starting with “Notes of a Hunter”, I.S. Turgenev became famous as a master of landscape. His landscape sketches are not only highly artistic, naturalistically true and detailed, but also always “not accidental” in the text of the work. The brush of the master - the artist of the word - is surprisingly talented. All combinations of figurative and expressive means of language used by the writer in landscape sketches... The landscape in his works always plays a very definite role. It is either lyrical, then social, then romantic, then psychological, when the inner world of the heroes is recreated not directly, but through their relationship to nature. Life is eternal and Love is eternal, and Nature is eternal, which stronger than death

For I.S. Turgenev's two words: "Write" and "Love" will remain inseparable for life. The young Spanish singer Pauline Viardot, together with her 40-year-old husband, French Viardot, comes from Paris to St. Petersburg. Here dizzying success awaits her, “general intoxication of delight”. It is remarkable that more than thirty years after his first meetings with Viardot, Turgenev began one of his wonderful poems in prose with lines from a poem by the poet Metlev, with whom he admired Pauline Viardot and her velvety amazing voice three decades ago.

Before we start working with the text, listen to the poem in prose by IS Turgenev “How good, how fresh the roses were…”.

4. Questions for students:

1) What is a landscape? (Landscape is a description of nature in fiction.)

2) What is the role of the landscape in the artwork? (The background against which the events unfold; helps convey the state of the hero.)

First excerpt.

1) On both sides, on the ledges, grapes grew; the sun had just set, and a scarlet, marshy light lay on green vines, on high stamens, on dry ground, covered entirely with large and small flagstone, and on the white wall of a small house with slanting black beams and four light windows, which stood at the very top of the mountain we climbed.

Second excerpt.

The view was definitely wonderful. The Rhine lay before us all silver, between the green banks; in one place it burned with the crimson gold of the sunset.

2) A town nestled on the coast showed all its houses and streets; hills and fields scattered widely.

3) It was good below, but above it was even better: I was especially struck by the purity and depth of the sky, the radiant transparency of the air.

4) Fresh and light, he quietly swayed and rolled in waves, as if he felt more comfortable at the height.

Third excerpt.

5) The day had long gone out, and the evening, at first all fiery, then clear and scarlet, then pale and dim, quietly melted and poured into the night, and our conversation continued, peaceful and gentle, like the air that surrounded us.

Gagin ordered to bring a bottle of Rhine wine; we painted it slowly. The music still reached us, its sounds seemed sweeter and softer; lights were lit in the city and over the river. Asya suddenly lowered her head, so that the curls fell over her eyes, fell silent and sighed, and then told us that she wanted to sleep, and went into the house; I, however, saw her, without lighting a candle, stood for a long time behind an unopened window.

6) Finally the moon rose and began to play along the Rhine; everything brightened, darkened, changed, even the wine in our faceted glasses shone with a mysterious brilliance.

7) The wind fell, as if folded its wings, and froze; night, fragrant warmth, wafted from the ground.

2. I walked past a bush where the nightingale was singing, I stopped and listened for a long time: it seemed to me that he was singing my love and my happiness.

3. However, I tried not to think about them; he wandered slowly through the mountains and valleys, sat up in the village taverns, peacefully talking with the owners and guests, or lay down on a flat warmed stone and watched the clouds float, since the weather was amazing.

4. The whisper of the wind in my ears, the quiet murmur of the water behind the stern, irritated me and the fresh breath of the wave did not cool me; the nightingale sang on the shore and infected me with the sweet poison of its sounds.

5. One evening I was sitting on my favorite bench and looking now at the river, then at the sky, then at the vineyards.

6. Gagin reached the already familiar valley, sat down on a stone and began to sketch an old hollow oak ...

7. Nature acted on me extremely, but I did not like its so-called beauty, extraordinary mountains, cliffs of waterfalls ...

The boat is docked. I went out and looked around. There was no one to be seen on the opposite bank. The moon pillar again stretched like a golden bridge across the river. As if goodbye, the sounds of an old Lanner waltz came rushing in. Gagin was right: I felt that all the strings of my heart trembled in response to those ingratiating tunes. I went home through the darkened fields, slowly breathing in the fragrant air, and came to my room, all mellowed by the sweet languor of pointless and endless expectations. I felt happy ... But why was I happy? I didn’t want anything, I didn’t think about anything ...

I was happy.

Almost laughing from an excess of pleasant and playful feelings, I dived into bed and was about to close my eyes, when it suddenly occurred to me that during the evening I never once remembered my cruel beauty ... “What does this mean? I asked myself. - Am I not in love? But when I asked myself this question, I seemed to immediately fall asleep, like a child in a cradle.

Homework... Preparation for essay

First of all, it should be noted that Ivan Turgenev's story "Asya" is sometimes called the elegy of unfulfilled, missed, but so close happiness. The plot of the work is simple, because it is not external events that are important to the author, but the spiritual world of the heroes, each of which has its own secret. In revealing the depths of the spiritual states of a loving person, the author is also helped by the landscape, which in the story becomes a “landscape of the soul”.
So, here we have the first picture of nature, introducing us to the scene of action, a German town on the banks of the Rhine, given through the perception of the protagonist. About a young man who loves walks, especially at night and in the evening, gazing into the clear sky with a motionless moon pouring out a serene and exciting light, observing the slightest changes in the world around him, we can say that he is a romantic, with deep, sublime feelings.
This is further confirmed by the fact that he immediately felt sympathy for his new acquaintances Gagin, although before that he did not like meeting Russians abroad. The emotional closeness of these young people is also revealed with the help of the landscape: the Gagins' dwelling was located in a wonderful place, which was attracted first of all by Asya. The girl immediately attracts the attention of the narrator, her presence, as it were, illuminates everything around.
“You drove into the lunar pole, you broke it,” Asya shouted to me. For Turgenev, this detail becomes a symbol, because the broken moon pillar can be compared with the broken life of Ashina, the broken dreams of a girl about a hero, love, flight.
The continuing acquaintance with the Gagins sharpened the senses of the narrator: he is attracted to a girl, he finds her strange, incomprehensible and surprising. The jealous suspicion that Gagins are not brother and sister makes the hero seek peace in nature: “The mood of my thoughts had to match the calm nature of that land. I gave myself all to the quiet game of chance, the accumulated impressions ... "The following is a description of what the young man saw during these three days:" a modest corner of the German land, with unpretentious contentment, with ubiquitous traces of used hands, patient, albeit unhurried work ... "But the most important thing here is the remark that the hero "gave himself up to the quiet game of chances." This phrase explains the contemplative nature of the narrator, his habit of mentally not straining himself, but going with the flow, as depicted in Chapter X, where the hero actually floats home in a boat, returning after a conversation that excited him with Asya, who opened her soul to him. It is at this moment that a new turn is made in the hero's inner world of merging with nature: what was vague, alarming, suddenly turns into an undoubted and passionate thirst for happiness, which is associated with the personality of Asi. But the hero prefers to thoughtlessly surrender to the oncoming impressions: "I'm not only about the future, I didn't think about tomorrow, I felt very good." Everything further is happening rapidly: the excitement of Asya, the realization of the hopelessness of her love for the young aristocrat (“I have grown wings, but nowhere to fly”), a difficult conversation with Gagin, a dramatic meeting of the heroes, which showed the complete “winglessness” of the narrator, a hasty flight of Asya, a sudden departure of brother and sister. During this short time, the hero regains his sight, a reciprocal feeling flares up, but it's too late, when nothing can be fixed.
In my opinion, having lived many years of a familyless mare, the narrator keeps as a shrine the girl's notes and a dried geranium flower, which she once threw to him from the window.
Asya's feeling for Mr. NN is deep and irresistible, it is “unexpected and as irresistible as a thunderstorm,” according to Gagin. Detailed descriptions of the mountains, the powerful flow of rivers symbolize the free development of the heroine's feelings.
Undoubtedly, only this "insignificant grass" and its light smell remained for the hero from that beautiful, integral world of nature and the world of Asya's soul, merged together in the brightest, most important days of the life of Mr. N.N., who lost his happiness.

## Satirical image reality in the "History of a city" by ME Saltykov-Shchedrin - the chapter "On the root of the origin of the Foolovites" ##

First of all, it should be noted that The History of a City is the greatest satirical canvas-novel. This is a merciless denunciation of the entire control system. tsarist Russia... The History of a City, completed in 1870, shows that the people in the post-reform period remained as powerless as the officials were tyrants of the 70s. differed from the pre-reform ones only in that they were robbed in more modern, capitalist ways.
It is worth noting that the city of Foolov is the personification of autocratic Russia, the Russian people. Its rulers embody the specific features of historically reliable, living rulers, but these features have been brought to their “logical end”, hyperbolized. All the inhabitants of Foolov - both the mayors and the people - live in some kind of nightmare, where the appearance of a ruler with an organ instead of a head, cruel tin soldiers instead of the living, an idiot dreaming of destroying everything on earth, a blockhead who went to "catch a mosquito eight miles," etc. These images are constructed in the same way as the images of folk fantasy, but they are scarier because they are more real. The monsters of Foolov's world were born of the same world, nourished by its rotten soil. Therefore, the satirist is not limited in the "History of a city" to just ridicule the rulers of the city, he bitterly laughs at the slavish patience of the people.
It is obvious that the chapter “On the Root of the Foolovites” was supposed to show, according to the writer's idea, the tradition of the appearance of the favorite occupation of city governors - cutting and collecting arrears.
Initially, the Foolovites were called blockheads, because “they had the habit of banging their heads against everything that came along the way. The wall comes across ─ they hit the wall; They start to pray to God - they bite on the floor. " This "tyapanie" already speaks enough about the spiritual, innate qualities of the bunglers, who developed in them independently of the princes. With a bitter laugh, ME Saltykov-Shchedrin writes that “having gathered together the kurales, the gush-eaters and other tribes, the bunglers began to settle inside, with the obvious goal of achieving some sort of order”. “It started with the fact that Kolga was kneaded with tolas, then they dragged the jelly to the bathhouse, then cooked a kosha in a purse” and did other senseless deeds, because of which even the two stupid princes they found did not want to “volody” with bunglers, calling them Foolovites. But the people could not settle down by themselves. There was a need for a prince, "who would make our soldiers, and build the prison that follows!" Here the "historical people" are subjected to satirical ridicule, "carrying on their shoulders the Wartkins, the Burcheyevs, etc.", whom the writer, as he himself admitted, could not sympathize with.
The bunglers voluntarily surrendered themselves to bondage, "sighed unremittingly, cried out loudly," but "the drama has already taken place irrevocably." And the oppression and robbery of the Foolovites began, bringing them to riots beneficial to the rulers. And "historical times" for Foolov began with a cry: "I'll screw it up!" But despite the sharply critical attitude towards the people's passivity, obedience and long-suffering, the author in the "History of a City" in other chapters paints the image of the people with heartfelt colors, this is especially clearly manifested in scenes of national disasters.
It is worth noting that in his work the author does not limit himself to showing pictures of the arbitrariness of the rulers and the patience of the people, he also reveals the process of the growing anger of the oppressed, convincing readers that it cannot continue this way: either Russia will cease to exist, or there will be such a turning point that will sweep away from face of the Russian earth, the existing state system.

This story is the “true” chronicle of the city of Foolov, “The Foolov Chronicler”, embracing the period from 1731 to 1825, which was “successively composed” by four Foolov's archivists. In the chapter "From the Publisher", the author especially insists on the authenticity of the "Chronicler" and invites the reader to "catch the physiognomy of the city and keep track of how various changes that simultaneously took place in the higher spheres were reflected in its history."
The Chronicler opens with an Appeal to the Reader from the Last Archivist-Chronicler. The archivist sees the task of the chronicler in "being a representative" of "touching conformity" - the authorities "daring to the best of their ability" and the people "giving thanks". History, therefore, is the history of the rule of various mayors.
At the beginning is the prehistoric chapter "On the Root of the Foolovites", which tells how ancient people blockheads defeated neighboring tribes of morge-eaters, onion-eaters, kosobryhikh, etc. But, not knowing what to do to keep order, the bunglers went to look for a prince. They turned to more than one prince, but even the most stupid princes did not want to "be stupid" and, having taught them with a rod, let them go with honor. Then they called the bunglers of the novotor thief, who helped them find the prince. The prince agreed to "volode" them, but did not go to live with them, sending a novotor thief instead. Themselves as grudgers called the prince "Foolovtsy", hence the name of the city.
The Foolovites were submissive people, but the novator needed riots to pacify them. But soon he was so caught stealing that the prince "sent a noose to the unfaithful slave." But the novotor "and then dodged: [...] without waiting for the loop, he stabbed himself with a cucumber."
The prince sent and more rulers - an Odoyev, an Orlov, a Kalyazin - but they all turned out to be real thieves. Then the prince "... come in his own person to Foolov and cry out:" I'll screw it up! " With these words, historical times began. "
Next is the "Inventory for city governors in different time to the city of Foolov from the highest authorities placed ", after which the biographies of" the most remarkable city governors "are given in detail.
