The origins of the poet's lyrics

Perhaps the works of Nekrasov would not have been sotruthful and expressive, if they were not based on their own observations and experiences of the author. For the first time he witnessed cruelty towards another person in his childhood. 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 will express 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 andshore of the great Russian river, where one day saw the harrowing bumper ("On the Volga"). And on the wide road that passed near 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 Alekseyevich was very sorrowful, startingindependent life in St. Petersburg. Deprived of support from home, he fully experienced poverty and hunger. But the hardships of life only tempered the purposeful young man and helped to achieve recognition.
