The problem of attitude towards the homeland
Introduction
Everyone understands the concept of homeland in their own way. It is often ambiguous and undefined. People feel the same way about their native land. Some have love for her, gratitude, and adore her. Others experience coldness, a complete lack of positive emotions and thoughts. It often happens that, under the influence of some circumstances, a person completely changes his attitude towards the nature of his native land.
Problem
What definition can we give to our homeland? What does the place where we were born, familiar streets, buildings where we have been before mean to each of us? Love for the homeland as a whole depends on love for one’s native nature. It may not appear in a person’s heart immediately, but grow with him over years and decades. But thanks to some event, everything suddenly falls into place. In the text proposed for analysis by K.G. Paustovsky raises the problem of love for the motherland.
A comment
Apollinary Vasnetsov. Homeland.
The author reveals the problem using the example of the development of a feeling of love for the homeland in the artist Berg. He did not understand at all what the word “Motherland” meant and mocked those who spoke about their native land with longing and love. It didn't matter to him where a person was born and raised. His comrades did not believe that Berg lacked a warm attitude towards his homeland and considered the artist an eccentric. The writer notes that his hero was not at all good at landscapes. Most likely, this happened precisely because of a lack of understanding of the value of nature and its influence on the formation of the human soul. Later, the artist had the opportunity to live with a friend for a month in a quiet forest on the shore of a lake, away from the bustle of the city. Here he got the opportunity to fully enjoy the beauty of nature, understand and accept it completely. He was able to paint a landscape - the first one that was truly successful.
Author's position
The author is convinced that love for the homeland manifests itself only after a close acquaintance with its incredible nature. She is able to fill life with new colors, impressions, the ability to admire and give her creativity to other people.
Your position
I completely share the author's opinion. The connection with our native nature, the earth, is important for each of us. After all, life becomes much simpler when there is a native place on earth where you were born, where you will always be supported and greeted with love. That is why it is so important from childhood to instill patriotic feelings for our small homeland and love for nature.
Argument No. 1
In the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov’s “Motherland”, the poet sincerely declares his love for the Fatherland, which is not famous for its particularly beautiful nature or overly friendly people: “But I love - for what, I don’t know myself - Its cold silence of its steppes, Its boundless swaying forests...” For the author of these lines The connection between the homeland and its natural beauty is extremely important. He sings with enthusiastic joy the melancholy that arises in the heart from the contemplation of two lonely birch trees standing among the fields. The poem helps to understand how beautiful our country is, how unique its vast expanses are. We must take care of it and preserve it for future generations.
Argument No. 2
People are inextricably linked with nature. A lot of works have been written about this. For example, in A. Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor,” the meaning of the main character’s life becomes not only her home, farm, village, but also the nature of her native land. Here she survived the war, the death of her children and the death of her husband. Matryona lives for the sake of her small homeland, and she dies trying to move her hut across the rails under the wheels of a passing train.
Conclusion
We cannot reject or consign to oblivion the place where we were born, where we spent our childhood. The small homeland is deposited in the heart with incredible details, because, as a child, a person studied and explored everything around for a long time, became acquainted with the peculiarities of nature. That is why our native land is so close and familiar to our eyes.
Essay on the Unified State Examination: The problem of attitude towards the small Motherland in the text by N. Zhukov
(385 words) What is the significance of a small homeland in a person’s life? Why do we keep love for our small homeland all our lives? Answering these and other questions, modern Russian journalist Nikolai Zhukov poses the problem of a person’s attachment to his small homeland.
To draw the reader's attention to this problem, the author talks about Aunt Alice, who lived all her life in the village of Sulak and did not even think about leaving there. According to her, there is no point in leaving this place, because everything she has is here in Sulak. Here she spent her childhood and youth. All her relatives are buried here. The heroine appreciates what she has and is not going to give it up under any circumstances.
To reveal the problem more fully, the author focuses our attention on Alice’s memories of the time when there were sometimes so many guests in her small house that she had to sleep “on the floor, on a chest, in the summer kitchen and on a bed in the yard.” But that was before, and now she is lonely, however, in spite of everything, Alice remains to live here because she cannot imagine life anywhere else.
Both examples, complementing each other, help the reader understand how strong a person’s attachment to his small homeland is.
The author's position is dissolved in the narrative, but it can be found and formulated. The author believes that a small homeland is the place where you grew up and where your ancestors are buried. Here everything is close and familiar to you, here you know everyone, and everyone knows you. Therefore, the attitude towards this city or village should be reverent and tender, like one’s own home.
I agree with the author’s position and am confident that the place where you were born becomes a part of you, remaining forever in your heart.
I find confirmation of my position in the works of the famous Russian poet S.A. Yesenina. In his poems, he never tires of confessing his love for his small homeland: he admires the beauty of nature, sympathizes with his “lesser brothers,” and confesses his love for his compatriots. For example, in the poem “Go you, my dear Rus'...” the following lines occur:
If the holy army shouts: “Throw away Rus', live in paradise!” I will say: “No need for paradise, Give me my homeland.”
This recognition concentrates all the author’s love for his native places. I consider his attitude towards his small homeland to be exemplary.
In conclusion, I want to say that a small homeland is of great importance in a person’s life. There are many proverbs in the Russian language dedicated to this topic, one of which says: “One’s own land is sweet in a handful.” This means that it is the source of life force for the individual.

The problem of determining the role of the Motherland in human life. According to A. N. Tolstoy
The problem of determining the role of the Motherland in human life. I. P. Tsybulko 2021. Option 13. “And these months of hard struggle that decide our fate, we are learning more and more deeply the blood connection with you and loving you more and more painfully, Motherland.”
What is Motherland? What role does it play in a person’s life? These are the questions that arise when reading the text of the Russian Soviet writer A. N. Tolstoy.
Revealing the problem of determining the role of the Motherland in a person’s life, the author relies on his own reasoning. Using an antithesis, he compares a person’s attitude towards the Motherland in times of peace and war. On peaceful days, a person is content and happy, like a bird bathing in the sky. At this time, some may have the idea that the whole world is his homeland. And sometimes, embittered by life’s troubles, someone may say that their homeland has not done them anything good. This suggests that a person is not always able to appreciate the true role of his native country in his destiny. But a common disaster is approaching: the enemy is ravaging our native land and wants to appropriate it. It is at this moment that everyone gathers near their nest, unites, realizing that they cannot be saved alone. Both examples are contrasted with each other, but lead us to the idea that we do not immediately understand the value and significance of the Motherland in our destiny, but in a moment of danger comes a true understanding of the significance of the Motherland in the destiny of each of us.
The author's position is as follows: The Motherland is not only a nest around which we gather in times of danger, but also the movement of the people along their land from the depths of centuries to the desired future, in which they believe and create with their own hands for themselves and their descendants.
It is impossible not to agree with the writer's opinion. Indeed, the Motherland is an ever-dying and ever-born stream of people carrying their own language, their spiritual and material culture and an unshakable belief in the legitimacy and inviolability of their place on earth.
The hero of M. A. Sholokhov’s story “The Fate of Man” especially clearly and piercingly understood the meaning of the word “Motherland” when a common misfortune came to our home.
He went to the front to defend his native land from the enemy. In conclusion, I want to emphasize that the Motherland is not only endless expanses and lands, but it is, first of all, a people with its own language and culture. Text
3a these months of difficult struggle that decides our fate, we are learning more and more deeply the blood connection with you and loving you more and more painfully, Motherland. In peaceful years, a person, in contentment and happiness, like a bird bathing in the sky, can fly far from the nest and even seem to him as if the whole world is his homeland. Another person, embittered by bitter need, will say: “Why do you keep telling me: homeland! What good did I see from her, what did she give me? A general disaster is approaching. The enemy is ravaging our land and wants to call everything eternal his own. Then both the happy and the unhappy gather at their nest. Even those who would like to hide, like a cricket, in a dark crevice and whistle there until better times, understand that now it is impossible to escape alone. Our nest, our homeland has prevailed over all our feelings. And everything that we see around us, which we may not have previously noticed or appreciated, like the smoke smelling of rye bread from a snow-covered hut, is now piercingly dear to us. Human faces, which have become so serious, and eyes - so similar to the eyes of people with one all-consuming thought, and the dialect of the Russian language - all this is ours, dear, and we, living in these hard times, are the guardians and watchmen of our homeland. All our thoughts about her, all our anger and rage are for her desecration, and all our readiness is to die for her. So the young man says to his beloved: “Let me die for you.” The homeland is the movement of the people along their land from the depths of centuries towards the desired future, in which they believe and create with their own hands for themselves and their descendants. This is an ever-dying and ever-born stream of people carrying their own language, their spiritual and material culture and an unshakable belief in the legitimacy and inviolability of their place on earth. Someday, probably, national streams will merge into one stormless sea - into a single humanity. But for our age this is beyond a dream. Our century is a harsh, iron struggle for our independence, for our freedom and for the right to build our society and our happiness according to our own laws. The Russian people created a huge oral literature: wise proverbs and cunning riddles, funny and sad ritual songs, solemn epics - spoken in a sing-song voice, to the sound of strings - about the glorious exploits of heroes, defenders of the people's land - heroic, magical, everyday and funny tales. It is vain to think that this literature was only the fruit of popular leisure. She was the dignity and intelligence of the people. She formed and strengthened his moral character, was his historical memory, the festive clothes of his soul and filled with deep content his entire measured life, flowing according to the customs and rituals associated with his work, nature and the veneration of his fathers and grandfathers. The peoples of Western Europe inherited Roman civilization. Russia inherited a deserted forest and a wild steppe. Until the 18th century, Russia lived in chicken huts and created and wore all its future wealth and happiness in dreams, like a self-assembled tablecloth in one’s bosom. The people believed in their talent, they knew that their turn would come and other nations would make room for them, giving them an honorable place in the red corner! Our land has absorbed a lot of hordes of rapists who attacked it. Empires rose and fell in the West. From the great they became small, from the rich they became poor. Our homeland expanded and grew stronger, and no enemy force could shake it. So it was, so it will be.
According to A. N. Tolstoy
"Live in the land of our ancestors"
State Duma deputy, member of the presidium of the Russian Academy of Education Lidia Antonova notes with regret that migration to Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities is an alarming trend.
“People are leaving their homes. They leave because there is no opportunity to get a quality education, or there is no job they like, or there is no job at all,” the deputy admitted.
These are problems characteristic of a number of Russian territories.
“The vector that Vladimir Putin gave in his message to the Federal Assembly is aimed at ensuring that the Ministry of Education helps regional universities. But I’m sure: we need to not only add budget-funded places, but also think about improving the qualifications of teachers, think about how to carry out work, starting from school, so that the children love their region, love their profession,” the parliamentarian emphasizes.
Antonova herself was also faced with this choice at the beginning of her career.
“At one time, as a teacher, I was called to Moscow, but I could not imagine how I would leave my home district and abandon my children,” recalls the deputy.
According to her, it is important to conduct an explanatory policy aimed at fostering love for the small homeland.
“Every person would probably like to live on the land of their ancestors. We need to create an opportunity for guys who deserve it to get into government-funded places. And we need to think about how to provide them with jobs,” the deputy pointed out.
The state should help graduates acquire a profession and help them find employment. This should work not only at the federal, but also at the regional level.
