Who Lives Well in Russia

The poem "Who Lives Well in Russia" by N. Nekrasov is a journey of the heroes in search of a happy person in Russia, the final work of the poet, a national epic that incorporates the entire centuries-old experience of peasant life, all the knowledge about the people, collected by the poet "word by word" over twenty years. The strength of the poet N.A. Nekrasov lies in the special trustfulness of his artistic intonations: they are addressed to the hidden sides of human nature, oppressed by everyday life, tested by social conflicts. The folkloric basis of the poem's language helped N. Nekrasov to express the Russian soul more accurately and fully.
