Analysis and a summary "On the right of memory" (Tvardovsky)

Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky is one of the few truly talented Soviet writers who managed to print in those harsh times. Not only a good poet, but also a brilliant journalist, he enjoyed the location of party figures. However, in his work there was something that did not miss censorship. This article will be devoted to this article. Today we will consider the short content "By the right of memory". Tvardovsky told a lot about this in his poem about his far from cloudless relations with the Soviet reality.

Subject

The theme of the poem, which can be identified, having read even a brief content "By the right of memory," Tvardovsky hatched for many years. It first arose in the poem "Country of Muravia", and then clearly sounded in a cycle called "Mother's Memory". This theme is the writer's confession, summing up the results of life. It was in the poem "By the right of memory" that the fruits of Tvardovsky's long-standing heavy reflections were realized.

The theme of confession is accompanied by the theme of memory and responsibility. Responsibility for what was done before future generations. The writer was sure that we have no right to forget the past, since it determines the future and will influence the destinies of all those living in our country.

Genre peculiarity

To the genre of lyrical philosophical reflections, one can include the poem "By the right of memory". Summary (Tvardovsky in the work literally confesses to the reader) once again confirms this.

The main actors of the poem are ordinary Soviet people, their accomplishments and deeds that can not be forgotten and for which it is necessary to be accountable to descendants. The author seems to be looking at the expanses of his homeland in his poem and sees three distances:

• Incredibly large Russian expanses, which have neither end nor edge;
• The space of history, where generations of people are inextricably intertwined, where the inseparability of destinies and time manifests itself;
• The same immense space of morality of the lyrical hero.

The summary "On the right of memory" (Tvardovsky): chapter one

The first chapter is called "Before Departure", it was printed during the author's lifetime and was called "In the hayloft". The lyrical hero and his friend gather from the village "in a way far away". Young men are full of hopes and dreams of a beautiful future, they are in their illusion of a wonderful life: "We do not want to attack;" "We were only waiting for happiness".

Their enthusiastic optimism was so huge that they did not hear the morning cocks "singing the end of the children's days", predicting how soon the native land "will break from the spot in the snowstorm solid". The last quote hints at collectivization, carried out in the village in the 30s.

Heroes do not yet know what tests are waiting for them ahead. On the fate of the comrade there is only a hint: "That friendship was listed as wine, which I could remind anyone." Most likely, a friend was subjected to Stalin's repression and was declared an enemy of the people. Only for communication with such a person could reproach the main character.

Chapter 2

We continue to consider the poem "By the right of memory". Tvardovsky briefly concludes himself to some extent in the title of the chapters. So, the second chapter has the title "Son for father does not answer." These words were uttered by Stalin in the 1930s. Then the children of kulaks and enemies of the people perceived them as an unexpected salvation from the brand for life. But it turned out completely wrong. This phrase has acquired another immoral and inhuman meaning. Children did not get rid of the marks handed down to them by their parents, but the whole nation was cut off from their roots, ancestors, and consequently lost the moral guidelines: "Betray your brother in the way."

A pronounced anti-Soviet orientation was realized in the poem "By the Right of Memory," a brief summary of the chapters illustrates this perfectly. The poet sincerely repents that he once renounced his father and family. This wine pursued Tvardovsky all his life, but it was not in his power to make life easier for his relatives.

Chapter 3

The poem "On the Right of Memory" (Tvardovsky) comes to an end. The summary on chapters comes to the end with the third part - "About memory". Here the poet says an angry, full of pain and suffering monologue that, despite party instructions to forget about the past, this in no case can not be done. A person has the right to remember his past, parents, family, mistakes and crimes. People simply can not forget about this, otherwise they will not see a happy future. Everything is inextricably linked, the actions of grandfathers are reflected in the fate of grandchildren.

On this piercing note, at this peak of repentance, Tward's poem ends, which simply could not be printed in the Soviet Union.

Conclusion

So, after considering the short content "By the right of memory" (Tvardovsky), we can conclude that the poet's lot fell many sorrows and sorrows that did not leave him throughout his life. He experienced the harshest times: Stalinist repression, war and post-war years, thaw. And all these difficulties and trials were poured into a beautiful poem.
