N. Nekrasov created in the 40-70-ies of the XIX century, which became complicated for the history of Russia. It was a time of active social recovery, caused by a long period of reaction and disappointment after the adoption of the long-awaited Manifesto abolishing serfdom. Socio-political situation in society has determined the main themes of the works of Nekrasov NA - a democratically-minded fighter for the freedom of the people.

"I was called to sing of your sufferings ..."

This phrase of the poet himself fully reflects the main thrust of his poems and poems. The heavy share of the Russian people and, in particular, women peasant women (Troika, On the Road), lawlessness and arbitrariness reigning in the landowner Russia ("Reflections at the front door"), the fate of the intelligentsia who embarked on a difficult path of struggle (" In memory of Dobrolyubov "), the deed of Decembrists and their wives (" Grandfather "," Russian Women "), the appointment of a poet and poetry (" Muse "," Poet and Citizen ") are the main themes that cover Nekrasov's works.

The origins of the poet's lyrics

Perhaps Nekrasov's works would not be so true and expressive if they were not based on the author's own observations and experiences. For the first time he witnessed cruelty towards another person when he was a child. His despotic father repeatedly attacked his fists not only at the serfs, but also at his wife, which even then provoked in the boy's soul a protest against the oppression of the woman. Later he expresses his childhood impressions and boundless love for Elena Andreevna, doomed to endless suffering, in the poems "Mother", "Knight for an hour", "Bayushki-bai", etc.

Little Nikolai saw human torment and on the bank of the great Russian river, where he once saw the haunting burlaks ("On the Volga"). And on the broad road that was passing next to Greshnev, people were constantly moving around in search of work, and sometimes convicts were also sent. So gradually self-consciousness and orientation of almost every work of Nekrasov were formed.

Was in the childhood of the poet and the bright side. Many magnificent paintings of Russian nature, recreated in poetic lines, also became the result of life and observations in the estate of his father.

Nicholas Alekseevich sighed a lot of grief, starting an independent life in Petersburg. Deprived of support from home, he fully experienced poverty and hunger. But the hardships of life only tempered a single-minded youth and helped to achieve recognition.

"Poet and Citizen" (opened the book), "Shkolnik", "Uncompressed Strip", "To the Times", "Lullaby Song", the poem "Sasha" - this is only a small part of the picture painted by the poet about the true position of the Russian peasantry.
