Abstract

The article examines the work “Return of Chatsky to Moscow, or The Meeting of Familiar Faces after Twenty-Five Years of Separate”. This is a continuation of the play by A.S. Griboedov “Woe from Wit”, created in 1856 by E.P. Rostopchina, a Russian poet, translator, playwright and prose writer, a mistress of a literary salon. The article reveals the artistic features of the play, assesses the characters, composition, speech design, ideological plan of the drama. The play is analyzed both in the context of Rostopchina, and in the context of the socio-literary trends of the era (mid-19th century). In addition, the report gives an assessment of the performance staged by the national drama theater of SSMU “Mirror” (directed by S.N. Sinitsyn). It organically combines two literary works - by Griboedov and by Rostopchina, deepens the socio-philosophical plan, the artistic material of the 19th century is updated by attaching motives from late 20th-century literature (Kys' by T.N. Tolstaya). The scientific novelty of the article derives from the fact that the analyzed texts (the play by Rostopchina and the play “Mirrors”) have not yet been thoroughly scholarly reflected on.
