To whom in Russia to live well

N. And. Nekrasov — one of the most interesting and controversial figures in the history of Russian poetry. "To the suffering of a passionate poet!.." — so spoke of him Dostoevsky. For many, Nekrasov became a prophet, the Comforter, leader. He was the chief poet of the generation of nihilists of the sixties, the heirs of Bazarov. He proposed a new view on the problems of the poet, new poetry topics. Nekrasov has really come in Russian poetry with a new word, which not all his contemporaries and descendants were able to accept and recognize.
