History of creation
When Alexander Sergeevich heard from his friend the poet Pavel Nashchokin a fascinating story about a bankrupt landowner named Ostrovsky, he realized that it could be taken as the basis for a future novel.
According to Nashchokin’s recollections, he once met in the prison a young Belarusian nobleman who became the victim of a corrupt judge. For a long time he sued his neighbor over land, but as a result he was expelled from his own estate without a penny in his pocket. Having gathered his serfs, the landowner organized a real band of robbers and began to trade in robberies.
In the fall of 1832, Pushkin began work on a new novel, and in a short time he wrote two parts out of the planned three. The second volume was completed in February 1833, but the third, for some reason, was never started.
The novel was published only in 1841, 4 years after the tragic death of Alexander Sergeevich in a duel. Since the writer never had time to give a title to his work, the editors called it “Dubrovsky.”
The meaning of the name is quite simple - that was the name of the main character of the novel.
Volume 2, Chapter 16
The matchmaking of Prince Vereisky was no longer a secret for the neighborhood - Kirila Petrovich accepted congratulations, the wedding was being prepared. Masha put off a decisive announcement day by day. Meanwhile, her treatment of her old fiancé was cold and forced. The prince did not care about that. He didn’t bother about love, content with her silent consent. But time passed. Masha finally decided to act - and wrote a letter to Prince Vereisky; she tried to arouse a feeling of generosity in his heart, frankly admitted that she did not have the slightest affection for him, begged him to refuse her hand and himself protect her from the power of her parent. She quietly handed the letter to Prince Vereisky, who read it in private and was not in the least moved by the frankness of his bride. On the contrary, he saw the need to speed up the wedding and for this purpose considered it necessary to show the letter to his future father-in-law. Kirila Petrovich was furious; The prince could hardly persuade him not to show Masha that he had been notified of her letter. Kirila Petrovich agreed not to tell her about it, but decided not to waste time and scheduled the wedding for the next day. The prince found this very prudent, went to his bride, told her that the letter saddened him very much, but that he hoped to eventually earn her affection, that the thought of losing her was too heavy for him and that he was unable to agree to his death sentence. For this, he respectfully kissed her hand and left without telling her a word about Kiril Petrovich’s decision. But he barely had time to leave the yard when her father came in and directly told her to be ready for the next day. Marya Kirilovna, already excited by Prince Vereisky's explanation, burst into tears and threw herself at her father's feet. “Daddy,” she cried in a plaintive voice, “daddy, don’t ruin me, I don’t love the prince, I don’t want to be his wife...” “What does that mean,” Kirila Petrovich said menacingly, “until now you were silent and agreed, but aunt, when everything was decided, you decided to be capricious and renounce. Don't be a fool; You won't gain anything with me by doing this. “Don’t ruin me,” repeated poor Masha, “why are you driving me away from you and giving me to an unloved person? Are you tired of me, I want to stay with you as before.” Daddy, you will be sad without me, even sadder when you think that I’m unhappy, daddy: don’t force me, I don’t want to get married... Kirila Petrovich was touched, but hid his embarrassment and, pushing her away, said sternly: “All this nonsense, do you hear? I know better than you what is needed for your happiness. Tears will not help you, the day after tomorrow will be your wedding. - Day after tomorrow! - Masha screamed, - my God! No, no, it’s impossible for this not to happen. Daddy, listen, if you have already decided to destroy me, then I will find a defender that you don’t even think about, you will see, you will be horrified at what you have brought me to. - What? What? - said Troekurov, - threats! I'm being threatened, you impudent girl! But do you know that I will do to you what you cannot even imagine. You dare to frighten me with a defender. Let's see who this defender will be. “Vladimir Dubrovsky,” answered Masha in despair. Kirila Petrovich thought that she had gone crazy and looked at her in amazement. “Okay,” he said to her after some silence, “wait for whoever you want to be your deliverer, but for now, sit in this room, you won’t leave it until the wedding.” - With these words, Kirila Petrovich went out and locked the doors behind him. The poor girl cried for a long time, imagining everything that awaited her, but the stormy explanation eased her soul, and she could talk more calmly about her fate and what she should have done. The main thing for her was: to get rid of the hated marriage; the fate of the robber's wife seemed like paradise to her in comparison with the lot prepared for her. She looked at the ring that Dubrovsky left her. She ardently wanted to see him alone and once again have a long consultation before the decisive moment. A premonition told her that in the evening she would find Dubrovsky in the garden near the gazebo; she decided to go and wait for him there as soon as it began to get dark. It got dark. Masha got ready, but her door was locked. The maid answered her from behind the door that Kirila Petrovich had not ordered her to be let out. She was under arrest. Deeply offended, she sat under the window and sat until late at night without undressing, motionless looking at the dark sky. At dawn she dozed off, but her thin sleep was disturbed by sad visions, and the rays of the rising sun had already awakened her.
Subject
Alexander Sergeevich raised many important topics that have not lost their relevance today. The central theme of Dubrovsky is the defense of human dignity. Thriving corruption in government bodies has crippled the fates of many people. Old man Dubrovsky became a similar victim, who, due to his poverty, was unable to defend his honor and dignity in court.
Vladimir saw the only way to protect the honor of his family name only in taking revenge with his own hands, without relying on the letter of the law. In fact, he was forced to take the criminal path; he simply had no other choice. This greatly saddens the author, who understands that in Russia an honest but poor person is absolutely powerless.
The main idea of the novel is the lack of equality between representatives of the same social class, the difference between whom was only in their financial situation. The author comes to a disappointing conclusion: the law always stands on the side of wealth, while noble, honest and progressive people, such as Vladimir, find themselves on the sidelines of life.
The writer also paid a lot of attention to the problems of family lawlessness - the crippled fate of children forced to submit to their parents' will. Troekurov, despite the tears of his 17-year-old daughter, gave her in marriage to an unloved old man, whose main advantage was wealth and position in society.
To remain a man of honor, to be merciful and fair - this is what the work teaches. It is very important to be able to find compromise solutions and listen to each other in order to prevent possible conflicts and tragedies from arising. This is the idea of the novel - to strive for mutual understanding in society, forgetting about one’s own egoism.

DUBROVSKY
VOLUME ONE
CHAPTER I
Several years ago, an old Russian gentleman, Kirila Petrovich Troekurov, lived on one of his estates. His wealth, noble family and connections gave him great weight in the provinces where his estate was located. The neighbors were happy to cater to his slightest whims; provincial officials trembled at his name; Kirila Petrovich accepted signs of servility as a proper tribute; his house was always full of guests, ready to entertain his lordly idleness, sharing his noisy and sometimes violent amusements. No one dared to refuse his invitation or on certain days not to appear with due respect in the village of Pokrovskoye. In his home life, Kirila Petrovich showed all the vices of an uneducated person. Spoiled by everything that surrounded him, he was accustomed to giving full rein to all the impulses of his ardent disposition and all the ideas of his rather limited mind. Despite the extraordinary strength of his physical abilities, he suffered from gluttony twice a week and was tipsy every evening. In one of the outbuildings of his house, 16 maids lived, doing handicrafts characteristic of their gender. The windows in the outbuilding were blocked by wooden bars; the doors were locked with locks, the keys to which were kept by Kiril Petrovich. The young hermits went to the garden at the appointed hours and walked under the supervision of two old women. From time to time, Kirila Petrovich married off some of them, and new ones took their place. He treated peasants and servants strictly and capriciously; but they were vain of the wealth and glory of their master and, in turn, allowed themselves a lot in relation to their neighbors, hoping for his strong patronage.
Troekurov's usual occupations consisted of traveling around his extensive domains, long feasts and pranks, which were invented every day and the victim of which was usually some new acquaintance; although old friends did not always avoid them, with the exception of one Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky. This Dubrovsky, a retired lieutenant of the guard, was his closest neighbor and owned seventy souls. Troekurov, arrogant in relations with people of the highest rank, respected Dubrovsky, despite his humble state. They had once been comrades in the service, and Troekurov knew from experience the impatience and determination of his character. Circumstances separated them for a long time. Dubrovsky, upset, was forced to resign and settle in the rest of his village. Kirila Petrovich, having learned about this, offered him his patronage, but Dubrovsky thanked him and remained poor and independent. A few years later, Troekurov, a retired general-in-chief, came to his estate; they met and were happy with each other. Since then, they were together every day, and Kirila Petrovich, who had never deigned to visit anyone with his visits, would easily drop by the house of his old friend. Being the same age, born in the same class, raised the same, they were somewhat similar in character and inclinations. In some respects, their fate was the same: both married for love, both were soon widowed, both had a child. Dubrovsky’s son was brought up in St. Petersburg, Kiril Petrovich’s daughter grew up in the eyes of her parent, and Troekurov often said to Dubrovsky: “Listen, brother, Andrei Gavrilovich: if there is a way in your Volodka, then I will give Masha for it; It’s okay that he’s naked as a falcon.” Andrei Gavrilovich shook his head and answered as usual: “No, Kirila Petrovich: my Volodka is not Maria Kirilovna’s fiancé. It is better for a poor nobleman, such as he is, to marry a poor noblewoman and be the head of the house, than to become the clerk of a spoiled woman.”
Everyone envied the harmony that reigned between the arrogant Troekurov and his poor neighbor, and were surprised at the courage of this latter when, at Kiril Petrovich’s table, he directly expressed his opinion, not caring whether it contradicted the opinions of the owner. Some tried to imitate him and go beyond the limits of proper obedience, but Kirila Petrovich frightened them so much that he forever discouraged them from making such attempts, and Dubrovsky alone remained outside the general law. An unexpected incident upset and changed everything.
Once at the beginning of autumn, Kirila Petrovich was getting ready to go to a field that was leaving. The day before, the order was given to the hounds and hunters to be ready at five o'clock in the morning. The tent and kitchen were sent forward to the place where Kirila Petrovich was supposed to have lunch. The owner and guests went to the kennel yard, where more than five hundred hounds and greyhounds lived in contentment and warmth, glorifying the generosity of Kiril Petrovich in their canine language. There was also an infirmary for sick dogs, under the supervision of the staff doctor Timoshka, and a department where noble bitches gave birth and fed their puppies. Kirila Petrovich was proud of this wonderful establishment and never missed an opportunity to boast about it to his guests, each of whom examined it at least for the twentieth time. He walked around the kennel, surrounded by his guests and accompanied by Timoshka and the main hounds; stopped in front of some kennels, now asking about the health of the sick, now making comments more or less strict and fair, now calling familiar dogs to him and talking affectionately to them. Guests considered it their duty to admire Kiril Petrovich’s kennel. Only Dubrovsky was silent and frowned. He was an ardent hunter. His condition enabled him to keep only two hounds and one pack of greyhounds; he could not help but feel a little envy at the sight of this magnificent establishment. “Why are you frowning, brother,” Kirila Petrovich asked him, “or don’t you like my kennel?” “No,” he answered sternly, “the kennel is wonderful, it’s unlikely that your people will live the same as your dogs.” One of the hounds was offended. “We don’t complain about our life,” he said, “thanks to God and the master, and what’s true is true; it wouldn’t be a bad thing for another nobleman to exchange his estate for any local kennel. He would have been more nourished and warmer.” Kirila Petrovich laughed loudly at his servant’s impudent remark, and the guests followed him with laughter, although they felt that the huntsman’s joke could apply to them as well. Dubrovsky turned pale and did not say a word. At this time, they brought newborn puppies to Kiril Petrovich in a basket; he took care of them, chose two for himself, and ordered the others to be drowned. Meanwhile, Andrei Gavrilovich disappeared, and no one noticed.
Returning with the guests from the kennel yard, Kirila Petrovich sat down to dinner and only then, not seeing Dubrovsky, did he miss him. People answered that Andrei Gavrilovich had gone home. Troekurov ordered to immediately catch up with him and turn him back without fail. From his childhood he never went hunting without Dubrovsky, an experienced and subtle connoisseur of canine virtues and an infallible resolver of all kinds of hunting disputes. The servant, who galloped after him, returned as they were still sitting at the table, and reported to his master that, they say, Andrei Gavrilovich did not listen and did not want to return. Kirila Petrovich, as usual, inflamed by the liqueurs, became angry and sent the same servant a second time to tell Andrei Gavrilovich that if he did not immediately come to spend the night in Pokrovskoye, then he, Troekurov, would quarrel with him forever. The servant galloped off again, Kirila Petrovich, getting up from the table, dismissed the guests and went to bed.
“My gracious sir,
I don’t intend to go to Pokrovskoye until you send me the huntsman Paramoshka to confess; but it will be my will to punish him or have mercy, but I do not intend to tolerate jokes from your servants, and I will not tolerate them from you either, because I am not a jester, but an old nobleman. For this reason I remain obedient to your services
Andrey Dubrovsky."
According to modern concepts of etiquette, this letter would be very indecent, but it angered Kiril Petrovich not with the strange style and location, but only with its essence: “How,” thundered Troekurov, jumping out of bed barefoot, “send my people to him to confess, he free to pardon and punish them! What was he really up to; does he know who he is contacting? Here I am... He’ll cry with me, he’ll find out what it’s like to go against Troekurov!”
at least he was not to the taste of Kiril Petrovich, who killed the cook, scolded the guests, and on the way back, with all his desire, deliberately drove through the fields of Dubrovsky.
Several days passed, and the hostility between the two neighbors did not subside. Andrei Gavrilovich did not return to Pokrovskoye, Kirila Petrovich was bored without him, and his annoyance poured out loudly in the most insulting expressions, which, thanks to the zeal of the local nobles, reached Dubrovsky, corrected and supplemented. The new circumstance destroyed the last hope for reconciliation.
Dubrovsky was once touring his small estate; approaching the birch grove, he heard the blows of an ax and a minute later the crack of a fallen tree. He hurried into the grove and ran into the Pokrovsky men, who were calmly stealing the forest from him. Seeing him, they started to run. Dubrovsky and his coachman caught two of them and brought them bound to his yard. Three enemy horses were immediately taken as spoils to the winner. Dubrovsky was extremely angry: before this, Troekurov’s people, famous robbers, had never dared to play pranks within his domain, knowing his friendly relationship with their master. Dubrovsky saw that they were now taking advantage of the gap that had occurred, and decided, contrary to all concepts of the law of war, to teach his captives a lesson with twigs, which they had stocked up in his own grove, and to give the horses to work, assigning them to the master's cattle.
The rumor about this incident reached Kiril Petrovich on the same day. He lost his temper and in the first minute of anger wanted to launch an attack on Kistenevka (that was the name of his neighbor’s village) with all his servants, ruin it to the ground and besiege the landowner himself on his estate. Such feats were not unusual for him. But his thoughts soon took a different direction.
Walking with heavy steps back and forth across the hall, he accidentally looked out the window and saw a troika stopped at the gate; a small man in a leather cap and frieze overcoat got out of the cart and went to the outbuilding to the clerk; Troekurov recognized assessor Shabashkin and ordered to call him. A minute later, Shabashkin was already standing in front of Kiril Petrovich, bowing after bow and reverently awaiting his orders.
“I was going to the city, Your Excellency,” answered Shabashkin, “and went to Ivan Demyanov to find out if there would be any order from Your Excellency.”
“It’s very opportune that I stopped by, what’s your name?” I need you. Drink some vodka and listen.
Such an affectionate reception pleasantly surprised the assessor. He gave up vodka and began to listen to Kiril Petrovich with all possible attention.
“I have a neighbor,” said Troekurov, “a small-time rude man; I want to take his estate. What do you think about that?
- You're lying, brother, what kind of documents do you need? There are decrees for that. This is the power to take away property without any right. Wait, though. This estate once belonged to us, was bought from some Spitsyn and then sold to Dubrovsky’s father. Is it possible to find fault with this?
— Wise, Your Excellency; This sale was probably completed legally.
- Think, brother, look carefully.
“If, for example, your Excellency could somehow obtain from your neighbor a record or a deed of sale by virtue of which he owns his estate, then of course...
- How, Your Excellency, his papers were burned! what's better for you? - in this case, please act according to the laws, and without any doubt you will receive your complete pleasure.
- You think? Well, look. I rely on your diligence, and you can be sure of my gratitude.
Shabashkin bowed almost to the ground, went out, from that very day he began to work on the planned case, and, thanks to his agility, exactly two weeks later Dubrovsky received an invitation from the city to immediately deliver proper explanations about his ownership of the village of Kistenevka.
Andrei Gavrilovich, astonished by the unexpected request, wrote back on the same day in a rather rude manner, in which he announced that the village of Kistenevka came to him after the death of his late parent, that he owned it by right of inheritance, that Troekurov had nothing to do with him and that any outside claim to this property of his is a sneak and a fraud.
will put you in the most disadvantageous position. Andrei Gavrilovich, having calmly examined the assessor’s requests, saw the need to answer in more detail. He wrote a fairly efficient paper, but later it turned out to be insufficient.
The matter began to drag on. Confident in his rightness, Andrei Gavrilovich cared little about him, had neither the desire nor the opportunity to sprinkle money around him, and although he was always the first to mock the corrupt conscience of the ink tribe, the thought of becoming a victim of a sneak did not occur to him. For his part, Troekurov cared just as little about winning the business he had started. Shabashkin worked for him, acting on his behalf, intimidating and bribing judges and interpreting all sorts of decrees at odds and ends.
Be that as it may, on the 18th... year, February 9th, Dubrovsky received an invitation through the city police to appear before the ** zemstvo judge to hear his decision in the case of a disputed estate between him, Lieutenant Dubrovsky, and Chief General Troekurov, and to sign his pleasure or displeasure. On the same day, Dubrovsky went to the city; Troekurov overtook him on the road. They looked at each other proudly, and Dubrovsky noticed an evil smile on his opponent’s face.
