Abstract

The relevance of the work is associated with modern disputes about Russian identity, and the purpose of the analysis of the textbook work is to update those works that emphasize the synthetic nature of Onegin at the level of genre, rhythm, and style. The subject of the study is the unpredictable flow of life in this unusual diary novel and the image of the Author as its central character, his thoughts and feelings. The acid feeling of the insignificance of life and its transience are opposed in the novel by the sacred foundations of being, through rebellious youth, through “holy poetry”, through the legends of dear old times, a person joins the immortal mystery of life. The contrasting ages of the human soul are given in the novel in the images of Lensky and Onegin. Onegin in the novel is the double of the Author, the trial of himself. With the image of Onegin, Pushkin begins the typology of the modern groundless hero-immoralist of the literature of the 19th century. Onegin and Tatyana are polar, like emptiness is polar to fullness. The unpredictability of life is fully manifested in the fate of the main character. It is concluded that the basis of Pushkin’s picture of the world is the biblical scale of comprehension of life.
