Answers to school textbooks
You can give this section the title “My Beloved Motherland.”
2. Reread the poems about the Motherland of Zhigulin and Nikitin. Do we see the same pictures? Find evidence in the text.
Zhigulin and Nikitin's poems are about their beloved Motherland, but they paint different pictures: Zhigulin describes the modest beauty of the Russian land, and Nikitin writes about its strength, power, and ability to crush any enemy.
3. Find rhyming words in Nikitin’s work. Can you say you read the poem? Explain. What is special about this poetic text? Why does the author use this technique? What does he achieve?
The peculiarity of a poetic text lies in the rhythm and rhyme of words. In Nikitin's work, rhyme is an alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables, this is how epic tales were once written, the endings of the lines do not rhyme. By stylizing the size and rhythm of epics, the author achieves greater freedom in the selection of words, greater simplicity and closeness to truly folk works: songs, epics, legends.
4. What works of Nikitin have you read before? What is the poet writing about? With what mood, feeling? Which works can be included in this section? Why do you think so?
Works by I. S. Nikitin: “Morning on the shore of the lake”, “In the blue sky they float over the fields”. In these works he writes about Russia, the beauty of its open spaces. All three poems can be included in this section.
Poets write about the Motherland with the same feeling of love and compassion for it.
6. Are the thoughts and feelings of the poets whose works you read in this section close to you? Why?
Every Russian is close to the thoughts and feelings of the poets whose works are included in the “Motherland” section.
7. How would you talk about your homeland? What attitude can you express towards her? Describe your city, the place where you live. Do you know your ancestry? Did your great-grandfather fight? Tell us why you are proud of your Motherland.
I am proud of my Motherland with its rich cultural heritage, outstanding figures of literature, science and art. It is imperative to know your ancestry, but unfortunately, few people know their ancestry beyond the last three generations, that is, at best, they know about their grandparents and great-grandparents.

3. Updating knowledge
“Hello, winter guest!
We ask for mercy
Sing songs of the north
Through forests and steppes.
We have freedom -
Walk anywhere;
Build bridges across rivers
And lay out the carpets...” (Meeting winter)“Soon guests will gather for you,
How many nests they will build - look!
What sounds, what songs will flow
Day after day, from dawn to dusk! (“My steppe is full, sleep soundly”)“...The stars fade and go out. Clouds on fire.
White steam spills out.
Along the mirror water, through the curls of willow
From dawn the scarlet light spreads...” ("Morning")
– Who is the author of these words?
Ivan Savvich Nikitin was born in Voronezh, his father was a merchant owner of a candle factory. He studied at the school, but did not finish it, because his father was threatened with ruin and it was necessary to help him in trading matters. Little Ivan Savvich took upon himself all the hardships of adult life. He had to work very hard to earn his bread.
He began to write poetry very early, but for a long time he did not dare to publish them or show them to others. And Nikitin’s first published poem “Rus” brought him fame, he soon published a whole collection of his poems, and with the proceeds he later opened a bookstore and library.
4. Working on new material
5. Setting the lesson goal
Today we will get acquainted with the poem that he first published and which brought him fame. Who remembers what it's called?
– Russian readers of the 19th century became aware of the poet’s name after the poem “Rus”. Everyone liked it. The self-taught poet immediately became famous. Apparently Nikitin was able to express in a poem what lived in the heart of every Russian person. Our task today in class: to understand, to understand why this poem resonated in the souls of many Russians, to understand, to feel that you yourself...
6. Primary perception
– Listen to the poem carefully. Think about what feelings the poet had when he wrote his poems. What feelings did you have?
The teacher reads.
7. Checking primary perception
– Think about why this poem brought fame to Nikitin? (His admiration for the wealth and vastness of Rus', the poet’s pride for his Motherland, for its heroic people.)
8. Linguistic commentary.
On the screen (animation):
Tent – high roof;
Sovereign – state;.
Niva - a sown field;
Scolding - war, battle.;
Haze is opaque air.
9. Independent reading of a poem by children
– Let’s read it one by one, think about how many pictures you would draw?
10. Secondary reading and analysis
– By the nature of the versification, what does this work resemble? (Folk song, sing-song)
– Why do you think this poem sounds so melodious and solemn, its sound similar to a drawn-out song? (The poet wrote it in epic verse).
– To make sure that the poem is written in epic verse, let’s connect 2 lines in pairs in any stanza and put the emphasis: animation on the screen
Moore va meadows carpet ste flying.
Vinog glad Nali in the gardens va Yes.
– Which syllable from the beginning of the line is stressed?
– Which syllable from the end of the line is stressed? (On the third syllable from the beginning and on the third syllable from the end).
– Give an example of some quatrain.
– Is there a rhyme in the poem? (No. In folk poems it often does not happen. But in a poem, rhythm is more important than rhyme. In epics there are three stresses in a line. Two of them are on the third from the beginning and on the third from the end of the syllables, and the third stress is located freely. The same rhythm in poem "Rus")
– Why, in order to glorify Rus', does the poet choose an epic verse? (Epics glorify heroes - the defenders of the country. The poet wants to glorify a country as powerful as a hero with poems similar to folk ones. The homeland is not only steppes and mountains. The homeland is the people. And Nikitin wants to talk about the people, using the techniques inherent in folk poetry. On We will definitely pay attention to these techniques.)
Starting from the fourth quatrain, highlight stable epithets characteristic of folklore along with defined words (snow like white fluff; blue sea, impenetrable darkness, clean field, holy old age, proud Poles, dark cloud, mother of damp earth, white light, loud glory , Mighty Rus'...)
Usually we put adjectives in front of the word they define, for example: a strong hand, a tall man, a long road. But in folklore works the opposite is more often the case. In epics, for example, they say this: heroic strength, a clean field, ... This technique is called INVERSION - an unusual order of words in a line or sentence to highlight the most important words.(on screen) It was more convenient for the storytellers, because they knew: in a line that ends with an adjective, the stress will definitely be on the third syllable from the end. This will help them maintain a given rhythm.
– So, why does Nikitin use inversion? (To make the poem sound like an epic)
– The poem “Rus” is long. Let's try to break it into 4 parts. The first part – 10 stanzas – ends with the words: “Wide are you, Rus', across the face of the earth / Unfolded in royal beauty”
– Let’s reread the passage in sequence. But remember that a mistake in reading is made by the one who intonationally attaches the last line in a quatrain to the previous, third line. You can’t read like this: I see that the distance of the steppes is turning green” or “The chains of mountains stand like giants.” A pause is required after line 3. The poet wanted this, which is why he put the words “green” and “giants” in a separate line.

– Such questions, the answer to which is known in advance, are called RHETORICAL.

Analysis of the poem “Rus” by Nikitin
One of I. Nikitin’s early works is “Rus”. Many literary scholars consider this poem central to the poet’s work. Born in Voronezh, I. Nikitin reflected in many works his attitude towards the Russian land, life, and people. The poem “Rus” appeared in 1853 and was published in a local newspaper.
The style of the work is close to ancient folk tales. This is manifested in words characteristic of folk songs: murava, feast, abuse; in epithets (“blue sea”, “clean field”, “mother of damp earth”). The poem has a unique composition in common with folk epics. There is no clear rhyme in it; the unity of words and lines is maintained with the help of size, due to this a clear rhythm is maintained.
A large number of vowels add melody and melodiousness to the work.
There are 29 quatrains in total, iambic meter. Archaic vocabulary, enthusiastic epithets, and exclamations are used. Solemn words highlight important parts of the work and create a certain mood.
The meaning of the poem is divided into three parts:
- description of the nature of the native land;
- a journey into the history of the people;
- chanting of Rus', love for it.
The theme of the work is boundless love and respect for the people and their history.
The description of the expanses of Rus' emphasizes its immensity. There is a feeling that the author is looking at the country from a bird's eye view. Vivid comparisons create a clear visual image. The author talks about endless fields and plains, steppes and meadows, dense forests. I have not forgotten about the snowy expanses of the North, the seas and mountains, and the blooming gardens of the South of our country.
In addition to the wealth of Russian lands, using metonymy, I. Nikitin puts the meaning “Russian people” into the concept of “Rus”.
To show the great qualities of the people inhabiting the Great Power - courage, perseverance, love for their Great Motherland, the author recalls historical battles that were important for the country. These are the Tatar-Mongol invasion, battles with the Kingdom of Lithuania and the Patriotic War of 1812.
The people became victorious in these trials thanks to their faith, unity and power. I. Nikitin recalls how “Rus rose from all over,” no one was left behind, neither children, nor women, nor the elderly. Orthodoxy is repeatedly mentioned as a huge force uniting Russian people.
The main idea of the poem is the people’s love for their land, for which it is not a pity to give their life.
The finale of the work speaks of the glory of the country, which goes “to all ends of the white world.” The Russian people have something to love and “call their Great Power mother” for. The poem “Rus,” despite its apparent simplicity, is one of the best patriotic works of the mid-19th century.
analysis of Nikitin's poem, Rus'"
- The poem "Rus" brought fame to Nikitin. The poet admires the wealth and spaciousness of Rus'.
The poem has no rhyme. In folk poetry it often does not exist. But in a poem, rhythm is more important than rhyme. In epics there are three stresses in a line: two of them are on the third from the beginning and on the third from the end of the syllables, and the third stress is located freely. The same rhythm is in the poem Rus. To glorify Rus', the poet chooses an epic verse. Epics glorify the heroes of the country's defenders. The poet wants to glorify a country as powerful as a hero with poems similar to folk ones. The poem resembles a folk song. The epic verse sounds melodious, drawn-out, like a folk song.
The homeland is not only steppes, mountains, meadows and fields. The homeland is the people. And the poet talks about the people, using techniques inherent in folk poetry. The unusual order of words in a line or in a sentence serves to highlight the most important words. It was more convenient for storytellers, because they knew: in a line that ends with an adjective, the stress will definitely be on the third syllable from the end. This will help you maintain the desired rhythm. Nikitin uses inversion to make the poem sound like an epic. Critic Oleg Lagunsky wrote about the poem Rus:When you read Rus' - especially out loud - the feeling of a blood connection with every part of that great whole that is called Russia burns your soul. It’s amazing how an aspiring poet was able to sing the anthem to his father’s land with such inspiration! "
The poem is divided into 3 semantic parts. The first part describes the nature of Rus'. The second part is devoted to the history of Russia. The third part describes the wealth of the native land, the hospitality of the Russian people,
openness of the country to those who come with good. The poem Rus is a hymn to our native land. - fucked up
