Общие черты жизни иранской и русской элиты на примере жизни Джалала Але Ахмада и Л. Н. Толстого

Abstract

In this scientific work, we consider the role of educators in the Iranian-Russian cultural societies by bringing up examples of the life of two famous writers: Jalal Ale Ahmad and L. N. Tolstoy. The years of the life of both thinkers are twisted by eternal questions about the social state of life of their people and the welfare of their homeland. They both came to the conclusion that the role of teaching is a lot in the destiny of man. Parenting forms the personality of a person. Both thinkers began to work as teachers in schools. Like major writers and educators, both of them belonged to the elite layers of their society. They expressed their thoughts through the prism of their literary works. They both dropped out: Jalal dropped out of his higher education in his final year of postgraduate studies in Persian literature; L. N. Tolstoy could not adapt himself to the education system of Kazan University. Both writers delve deeply into the issue of religion. In the last years of their lives, they left their homes: Tolstoy abandons his house at the age of which he is so fragile and even cannot stand the freezing weather of Winter; he falls ill and succumbs to death at Astapovo station. In the last years of his life, Jalal and his wife went to live in a village in Gilan province. With this decision, they were both trying to change their life condition.
