Russian Literature By John Mooers Russia was transformed at the hands of Tsar Peter the Great (1672-1725). Peter, so impressed with what he saw on his tour of Western Europe, personally cut off the beards of some of his nobles on the very day he returned to Russia and ordered them to wear western dress. He proceeded with an authoritarian and sometimes ruthless force to totally secularize and Westernize his Medieval and Byzantine Russia. Peter built the city of Petersburg, he brought in Dutch and French and German teachers, took schools in Russia away from the Church, simplified the alphabet, changed printing from Old World Church Slavonic to modern European script. Translations of European literature followed, and French became the language of the educated aristocratic class. Russia, whether it wanted to or not, transformed. But it created an ever increasing gap between the educated, mostly city dwelling but land owning aristocratic class, and the peasants, crushed by poverty, serfdom, and in some cases simple slavery. By the early 19th Century some children of the upper classes only spoke French. Russia became a foreign language to them. Russian intellectuals conversed freely with Voltaire, Diderot, and the other French Enlightenment figures. The poetry of Mikhail Lomonossov (1711-1765) and Gavriil Derzhavin (1743-1816) imitated the French Classical literature of a Racine or Moliere. It became the standard Russian form of poetic expression. But, by bringing in the culture of the Western European world the Russian government could not stop the free flow of western ideas, such as liberal democracy and freedom. This, of course, was totally counter to the all encompassing oppressive power that the Tsar system had over the Russian people. The result was inevitable. So when these ideas of freedom and self rule exploded in the West in both the French and American Revolutions the Russian government did, indeed, try to stop the flow of ideas.

The Kievan Period Kievan history began with the unification in the 860s of twelve East Slavic tribes (ancestors of the modern Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarussians) into a nation with its capital in Kiev. The country was converted to Christianity in 988. The new religion, which came from Byzantium, brought with it the Slavic alphabet, devised earlier by Byzantine missionaries. The earliest Russian literature, which was also the literature of other East and South Slavic peoples, consisted mainly of historical (chronicles) and religious (prayer books, sermons, lives of saints) genres.

RUSSIAN LITERATURE Biblical and Hebraic Influences The Jewish impact on Russian literature may be traced back 900 years to the period when that body of writing was still the common patrimony of a people that was to emerge later as three distinct East Slavic ethnic groups: the Russians, the Ukrainians, and the Belorussians, each with its separate language and, ultimately, its own literature. The 11 th th -century transcriptions are extant, begins with an account of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. Equally ancient is the 11 th -century translation of Jewish War th -century transcriptions, contains a number of interesting descriptions of Jerusalem and its surroundings. Polemical attacks on Judaism as a creed antedate the appearance in Russia of any sizable Jewish population.

Blog RUSSIAN LITERATURE As somebody who has studied and experienced Russia in many different contexts (as a scholar, author, actor, and businessman in Russia), Professor Andy Kaufman is a passionate believer in the universal relevance of Russian literature. He believes that the work done by teachers of Russian literature is important, not only because Russia is one of the world’s most influential countries, but also because the great Russian books are among the most powerful and enduring works of world literature. The works of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn and many others are not only enormously entertaining. They also present compelling artistic responses—even antidotes—to the forces of injustice, corruption, and materialism that engulf so much of contemporary life, in Russia and in our own country.

Hotels Reservation History of Russian literature April 27, 2006 Literature is the most complete and expressive manifestation of the Russian creative genius. It conveys not only aesthetic, moral and spiritual values and beliefs; literature is also our philosophy, the way to get insight into life, as leading Russian philosophers note. Great Russian poets and writers have always been the voice of this people's conscience and soul, and had to suffer for it. The priority of literature in the cultural life of the Russian people can be explained by its origin and the meaning it got from the moment of its appearance. Written language and literature were introduced to Russia from the outside, along with Christianity. Book appeared in Russia in the form of a sacred scripture, thus determining the place and role of literature in the history of Russian culture. Yet, one should not forget about the riches of folk creativity, the vivid source of primordial knowledge and inspiration for men of letters and thinkers of all times. The language and spirit of folk poetry in the form of songs, fairy tales, epics, etc. introduced genuine life and imagery to Russian literature. Thus, literature in this country developed as a blending of folk art and church scriptures, reflecting the mixture of pagan and Christian traits in Russian cultural tradition.
