Nikolai Ognev Biography
Bocher M. participated in the revolutionary movement, was arrested, but did not belong to a certain political party. In the work of Ognev, two streams are clearly denoted, separated by chronologically: a romantic stream that captures almost all pre -revolutionary creativity, but affecting and in separate urgent works, and a realistic stream, most clearly expressed in the “Bones of Ryabtsev bones”.
In a number of pre -revolutionary stories, as e.g. Andreeva and F. In them - the apologetics of death, smart power, while life is recognized by the power of stupid. The autocratic regime pushes O.'s heroes, unlike the knights of the “literary decay” O., in the corruption stories of O. However, Ognev does not immediately overcome the pre -revolutionary sentiments and thoughts.
The notes of the old, some addiction to the past, old, as well as praise - - old heroic times, as opposed to “gray everyday life”, make themselves felt in the “Diary of Ryabtsev’s bones” and “three dimensions”, and especially in the “Exodus of Nickpapons”. In the image of K. Ryabtseva O., unlike other authors of such “trilogies” L. Tolstoy, Garina-Mikhailovsky O., in turn, the school’s connections with the wide world of socialist practice are not sufficiently shown firing.
Ryabtsev is a Soviet man. He sees the goal of his life in "living for the benefit of himself and for others and to fight for universal communism." Kostya is straightforward, does not tolerate insincerity and, especially two -dealing, is somewhat nihilistically referring to the cultural values of the old world. Kostya is a utilitarian, although not a narrow -minded plot.
He is interested in "everything, all life." With subtle humor, O. is drawing if the school for Ryabtsev “is the same as the house, and even more interesting,” then the university meets it in eagerly. Material adversity, sexual questions, grimaces of NEP-all this worries Kostya. The last entry in Ryabtsev’s diary is not a bone and optimistic recording, but O.
himself, unlike Ryabtsev, another hero of the bone diary is a teacher Nikolai Petrovich Zhogov, a full and love of O., the main problem, which is “bruised” nickpap-this is the fate of the Russian intelligentsia. Nickpetozh considers the intelligentsia one fact of its origin doomed, unable to reborn in the conditions of the proletarian dictatorship. Without sharing the views of Nickpapot, Ognev sets his task to show the place of the intelligentsia in modern reality.
The nickpace of the Ognev herself cures pessimistic moods, shows him updated in the village, in the post of postman of the ring mail. The showing the intellectual in the practice of the proletarian struggle in O. The motive for the doom of the intelligentsia is again nominated by O. Humanist, an individualist, she does not make up with a Soviet life and ends up the life of suicide.
The same motive is repeated in the image of V. Shakhovsky, who also ends with suicide. Instead of the “ideological execution” of petty -bourgeois individualism and humanism, Ognev only executes the physically the bearers of these features. Traces of the former petty -bourgeois humanism are finally O. The complex plot is absent not only in its small stories, but also in the “Bones of Ryabtsev’s bones”, representing the totality of episodes fastened by the dates of the diary and the stroke of psychological development of K.
Ryabtsev and others. Favorite O., as if feeling this involuntary “self-restraint”, due to the form of the diary, O., therefore, Ognev comes to the Lefov-Litfront's statement about the “end of the novel”. Bibliography: I.
