December 10, 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great poet and writer Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov. We know him from the poem "Who Lives Well in Rus'", the poem "Frost, Red Nose" and other works from the school curriculum. However, Nekrasov was not only a revolutionary poet. In fact, the stylistic and thematic diversity of his texts is amazing. Why were Nekrasov's works published differently from how he intended them? How did his publishing talent manifest itself? What writers would we not have learned about without Nekrasov and Sovremennik? What did he spend the money he won at cards on? What else was Nekrasov interested in? Who was his last love? How was Nikolai Alekseevich's life and creative duality expressed? Ernest Orlov, Deputy Director of the V.I. Dahl State Museum of the History of Russian Literature, will answer these questions and reveal an unknown side of Nekrasov to you. Enjoy watching on the Dostoevsky Lecture Channel. *** Attention!
