Over the past 100 years, the school literary curriculum has undergone a number of changes. The number of hours for studying the material changed, the political and ideological vector of the school curriculum shifted, and much more. But the core of the school literary canon has always remained roughly the same.

Our review is based on the material of the educational resource "Arzamas", which tells what Soviet schoolchildren read.

Literature teacher Anastasia Serazetdinova told what eternal ideas in each of these works do not allow throwing the classics off the ship of modernity.

Why does a men's three-piece suit never go out of style? A schoolboy, an office worker, an ambassador, a president - they all wear suits. Because it is a sign of good taste, comfortable cut, there is a secret pocket inside. Because with the help of the classic trio, you can always be relevant, wherever you are: at a gala reception or a parent meeting. That is why the costume was called "classic". The same is true with literature.
“Dead Souls”, “Woe from Wit”, “Hero of Our Time” is a representation of the current order of the world today, firstly, secondly, it is a cultural code that allows you to distinguish one from another, and thirdly, it beautiful literary language. Doubting Onegin, enterprising Chichikov and cynical Pechorin still meet today. It could be your neighbor, a government official, or a trendy hipster with great taste.
And let's still not forget that before us is not real life, but literature. This is an artificially created text that allows you to think, read carefully, practice interpretation.

1. Alexander Griboyedov. "Woe from Wit"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. From 1938 to the present day - 8th grade.

“... I would be glad to serve, it’s sickening to serve ...”

This is a story about a young man who, having been abroad, decides to tell everyone around how they live wrong. They don’t think like that, they somehow love not quite like that either, and in general it’s time for everyone to leave their comfort zone. To which the society of adults, led by Famusov, begins to mock him, and the youth, whose brightest representative is the beauty Sophia, even declares the main character, Chatsky, crazy.

The relevance of history lies in the fact that society is not always ready for change. Most of the time it's not even ready. Progressive ideas are incomprehensible and painful, society prefers a proven version in which both the wolves will be fed and the sheep will not suffer.

2. Alexander Pushkin. "Eugene Onegin"

“... Who lived and thought, he cannot

Don't despise people in your heart..."

The Moscow laboratory of director Dmitry Krymov (theater "School of Dramatic Art") staged a curious performance for schoolchildren - "Eugene Onegin. In my own words." The story of Eugene Onegin is a story about the moment of a late “look back”: you need to be able to turn around in time and try to understand what is happening around.

But the hero of this theory does not know and turns around when it is already quite late: a friend is killed, a beloved girl with another, all relatives have died. "Eugene Onegin" is about our crazy world, where there is no time to look back and look around.

3. Mikhail Lermontov. "Hero of our time"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. From 1938 to our time - 8th grade.

“... The happiest people are ignorant, and fame is luck, and to achieve it, you just need to be clever ...”

What we learn about the death of the protagonist at the beginning of the book gives us the opportunity to look at him under a magnifying glass. And when we look at him so closely (his actions, relationships with other people, decisions made), we understand why Mikhail Lermontov calls him the “hero” of our time.

We are beginning to see similarities between the young Pechorin and those we see daily on the streets. Are we polite to each other? Maybe we are generous with women? Decent with rivals and opponents? The answer becomes obvious. Even though a decent number of years have passed since the appearance of this story.

4. Nikolai Gogol. "Dead Souls"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. Since 1938 - 9th grade. From 1960 to our time - 8th grade.

"... A Russian person does not like to confess to another that he is to blame..."

Chichikov is a modern businessman who did not have a deal. But it did not work out because it was initially doubtful, and people on the path of the enterprising Chichikov were not quite alive. Needless to say, Chichikov himself is not quite a living character.

5. Ivan Turgenev. "Fathers and Sons"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. From 1938 to our time - 9th grade.

“... The Russian peasant is the same mysterious stranger about whom Mrs. Ratcliffe once talked so much. Who will understand him? He doesn't understand himself...

Ivan Turgenev's novel adds to the list of teen favorites from the school list, including a story about the murder of an old woman ("Crime and Punishment") and a novel about the devil ("The Master and Margarita"). What could be better for adolescence than complete denial of everything, eternal disputes with fathers and autopsy of dead frogs?

Bazarov is a beloved character, whose nihilism always wants to be tested in practice: is it really possible to deny everything?

6. Anton Chekhov. "The Cherry Orchard"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. From 1938 to 1960 - 10th grade. From 1960 to our time - 9th grade.

“... All of Russia is our garden. The earth is great and beautiful, there are many wonderful places on it ... "

There is probably no such sad comedy on the school list anymore. The theme of the garden, the world tree, which is so briskly beaten with an ax, is sacred, and in Chekhov it is also tragic.

If we talk about relevance, then The Cherry Orchard is a kind of testament, it is a story about the end of the world. A story about how, when talking to each other, people will never hear what was said. About how the past does not need the future at all. And about where revolutionaries come from.

7. "The Tale of Igor's Campaign"

• In which classes the work was read: Until 1921 and until 1938 - grade 3. From 1938 to 1960 - 8th grade. From 1960 to 1984 - 8th grade. From 1984 to our time - 8th grade.

"... It's hard for a head without shoulders, trouble for a body without a head..."

They told you, Igor, don't go to fight alone! And there were omens for you, and ravens flew, even a sign happened! Didn't listen, went. And he added problems to himself and to everyone.

“The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” is a kind of song that Boyan “sings” to us (written through O, this is a special person who goes on campaigns with the soldiers and describes in his melodies what is happening there, a kind of holder of an old Russian Facebook feed). This is a story that internecine wars do not lead to anything good, and what will happen if you do your own thing all the time, ignoring the common decision.

8. Alexander Ostrovsky. "Thunderstorm"

• Until 1921 and until 1938 - 7th grade. From 1938 to 1960 - 9th grade. From 1960 to 1984 - 9th grade. From 1984 to our time - 9th grade.

“... No, they say, of their own mind. And, therefore, live the life of a stranger ... "

Of the entire range of fiction studied in school, The Thunderstorm is perhaps the most tragically unpopular. According to the candid confessions of schoolchildren, there is nothing more boring (the girls will say that only the battle scenes in War and Peace are more boring) and cannot be. But what is Storm about? Does she have a chance of being resurrected?

Mikhail Sverdlov (an outstanding literary critic and critic) in his work “Why did Katerina die?” gives the reader a wonderful thought: “This is a story about the beauty and greatness of the human soul. Anyone can turn a free person into a slave - Boar, Wild and others like them, but no one can shackle the human soul. And the death of Katerina is that example when the power of the human soul is able to destroy the boundaries of Kalinov.

If there is a schoolboy in your family, this is a great occasion to re-read with him the best books included in the literature program. We can bet that many works will open up to you from an unexpected angle and become an occasion for frank conversations on important topics.

Everyone knows that in the novel "Fathers and Sons" Turgenev touches on the topic of generational conflict, but this work is much deeper. Here is not only the story of the relationship between an eccentric son and elderly parents who do not have a soul in him and at the same time are afraid of him. This small book is about the conflict of worldviews, human values, the meaning of life.

Perhaps, rereading "Fathers and Sons" with your child, you will recognize each other there. Why not a great opportunity to call the child to an open discussion and learn from the mistakes of others, albeit literary ones?

A censored novel written behind prison bars that caused a real storm in the Russian Empire and beyond - it seems that this is enough to intrigue a teenager, doesn't it?

In many ways, this philosophical work of Nikolai Chernyshevsky is a response to Turgenev's Fathers and Sons. In Notes from the Underground, his ideas were challenged by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. And Lenin and Mayakovsky, for example, admired him.

So what is the mystery behind this book? Is the new society about which Chernyshevsky wrote possible? Try to figure this out together.

“I am a trembling creature, or do I have a right?” - this question tormented not only Raskolnikov, but at certain moments of life it also arises before each of us. Is evil acceptable for good? Does the offender have a chance for redemption and forgiveness? The teenager must find answers to all this first of all with his parents. Read "Crime and Punishment" together.

Be honest: did you master all four volumes of War and Peace at school without missing a single line about the war? If you answered in the affirmative, your endurance can only be envied!

In fact, Tolstoy's epic novel has only two drawbacks that scare away schoolchildren - this is an abundance of quotations in French and an impressive volume. Everything else is all virtues: a fascinating plot (love for girls, war for boys), dynamic narration, bright characters.

Help your child see the beauty of this piece. And to make reading more fun, add an element of competition: who will finish the first volume faster? And second? How about reading the whole book to the end? You will not regret that you decided to re-read the great work.

“The less we love a woman, the easier she likes us”, “We all learned a little something and somehow”, “We honor everyone with zeros, and ourselves with ones”, “But I am given to another and I will be faithful to him forever "- the list of catchphrases from this poem can be continued indefinitely. No wonder Pushkin considered this work one of the most significant works of his own composition.

In this book - the story of the first unrequited love of a romantic girl, the story of the idle life of a young dandy, the story of loyalty and self-denial. All this will appear in colors before your eyes if you arrange family readings on the roles of this masterpiece of Russian literature.

Fonvizin's hysterically funny play about the Prostakov family won instant success on the day of its premiere at the end of the 18th century and continues to amuse readers at the beginning of the 21st. They say that Grigory Potemkin himself praised Fonvizin with the following words: “Die, Denis, you won’t write better”.

Why did this play fall into the category of immortals? Thanks to at least two quotes:

• “I don’t want to study - I want to get married!
• "Here are the worthy fruits of wickedness."

As a maximum - thanks to a biting satire that exposes ignorance. Another brilliant story about the relationship between parents and children.

Quoting Griboedov, "happy hours are not observed." Especially when they hold “Woe from Wit” in their hands, because reading it is a real pleasure. As Pushkin predicted the work, almost half of the poems passed into the category of proverbs.

This brilliant tragicomedy only superficially touches on the love theme, denouncing sycophancy and servility. Important questions for every person, whether he is 15 years old or 40.

Gogol's most famous novel is a reference example of Russian ironic prose, a kind of "Odyssey" describing the journey of the enterprising landowner Chichikov through the Russian provinces, an encyclopedia of archetypes.

To learn how to recognize plush, manila, boxes in life, you should read Dead Souls in your youth. And in order not to “lose your knack” - re-read it in adulthood.

The plot of this ironic, witty novel is obscenely simple: for the most part, the main character lies on the couch in an old dressing gown, occasionally distracted by attempts to arrange a personal life. Despite this, "Oblomov" is read easily and with interest.

Unfortunately, “Oblomovism” strikes not only lazy bachelors at just over 30, but also respectable fathers of the family already over 40, and is born in the minds of spoiled children under 18. In order to prevent this acute disease, read Goncharov with the whole family!

Unlike Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, the heroes of Chekhov's plays are quite active, but the result is the same - indecision and mental anguish, which in the end does not lead to anything good. To cut down the garden or not to cut down? To lease the land or not?

Indeed, what would you do if you were the main character of Ranevskaya's play? Good topic for family discussion.

Orest Kiprensky, "Poor Lisa"

This dramatic novel is a good occasion to discuss with a teenager the ethics of relations with the opposite sex, to talk about male decency and girlish honor. The story of poor Liza, who committed suicide because of the betrayal of the young man who seduced her, unfortunately, is repeated too often in real life in various variations to be considered only a literary fiction.

An epic work, the main character of which is the classic "bad guy", skeptic and fatalist Pechorin. A Hero of Our Time is inspired by the romantic works of Walter Scott and Lord Byron, as well as Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.

The gloomy protagonist will seem in many ways close to a teenager, and to an adult who has seen the views too.

Enrich your vocabulary with Ella Shchukina's concise phrases, learn to beg in several European languages, get a master class on turning skins of dubious quality into Shanghai leopard fur, learn 400 relatively honest ways to extort money? Easy!

While a schoolboy is likely to see only a sparkling humorous story in the novel of a talented writing duo, his parents will appreciate the subtle irony of the authors.

Another work, literally dispersed into quotes. Re-read the brilliant satire of Mikhail Bulgakov to remind yourself and explain to the child that "devastation is not in the closets, but in the heads."

Fight and seek, find and never give up!

The novel gives an extensive picture of the socio-political life of Russia at the end of the 19th century. The Russian intelligentsia is one of the main historical problems of our country. Problems in the sense that this social stratum could never find itself, define its own ideals. Intellectuals, liberals, terrorists - after reading the novel, you will have no questions why in the Russian Empire these concepts were synonymous for many.

2. "Uncle Vanya", Anton Chekhov

Gorky, after watching the theatrical production of Uncle Vanya, wrote to Chekhov: “Uncle Vanya and The Seagull are a new kind of dramatic art […]. Other dramas don't divert a person from reality to philosophical generalizations - yours does." What can we say, Chekhov's plays are really the most powerful in Russian literature.

"Uncle Vanya" is in no way inferior to "The Cherry Orchard" or "Three Sisters". But the Ministry of Education for some reason excluded the play from the list of required reading books, which affected its current popularity. If you decide to read it, then keep in mind that the work is heavy and the narration in it goes in a serious tone unusual for Chekhov.

3. "Red laughter", Leonid Andreev

"Red laughter" if it is mentioned in literature lessons, then only briefly. The main attention is paid to another story of the author - "Judas Iscariot". But “Red Laughter” is such a stylistically verified work that goosebumps run down the skin not from the horrors of the war described, but from the sonorous rich syllable.

So no one wrote about the war. So no one wrote at all. If you want to clearly and clearly understand what the word "style" means in literature, read Andreev.

4. Head of Professor Dowell, Alexander Belyaev

Creativity Belyaeva is entertaining. Therefore, probably, his works did not get into school textbooks. However, the ability to entertain while maintaining a great art style is also worth a lot. Let Belyaev now be regarded as a classic of fiction, but we don’t always have to read to think about the problems of the world, right? "Professor Dowell's Head" is the most fascinating experiment in science fiction literature of its time.

5. Collected Works, Daniil Kharms

Kharms is a prankster and daredevil of Soviet literature. His absurdist prose is devoid of a clear moralistic message, which is why schoolchildren continue to receive certificates without learning anything about the most original Soviet writer. It is quite difficult to single out the central work of Kharms, so we recommend reading the first thing that comes to hand. Here, for example, is the whole story "The New Anatomy":

One little girl grew two blue ribbons on her nose. The case is especially rare, for "Mars" was written on one tape, and "Jupiter" on the other.

This novel needs no introduction. The phrases of Ostap Bender have long been disassembled into quotes and have become winged. Even if for some reason you did not have a chance to read the legendary novel about the great schemer, you have probably seen one of its many adaptations. However, this is the case when none of the film incarnations can be compared with the literary original. After all, it's like Shanghai leopards compared to Mexican jerboas. Infinitely better.

7. "The Living and the Dead", Konstantin Simonov

The trilogy by Konstantin Simonov is dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. It is based on the personal experience of the author, and perhaps that is why it turned out to be so inspired and sincere. This is a chronicle of the events of 1941-1945, filed through the prism of the view of the participants in the war. The work is fundamental, large-scale, with many deeply written images, strong dialogues and storylines. "War and Peace" of the XX century.

It is strange why Soviet science fiction classics are still not included in the school curriculum. Almost every one of their books is philosophical and covers a wide range of topics. "Roadside Picnic" is perhaps the most famous work of the authors. The Stalker series of books originates here. The "Zone", even before becoming a popular place for the works of literary epigones, was introduced by the Strugatskys as the deepest metaphor. A metaphor that summarizes all human activity and endows it with the universal meaning of the pursuit of happiness.

9. Razor's Edge, Ivan Efremov

"Razor's Edge" is a novel in which Efremov expressed his entire worldview. Therefore, it is so multifaceted and touches on a huge number of different topics: science, philosophy, mysticism, love, yoga. The writer carried out such a complex work on the synthesis of materialistic, metaphysical and mystical teachings that his book can be considered not only as a work of art, but also as a kind of philosophical treatise. It is not surprising that after writing the novel, Efremov acquired the status of a spiritual guru.

10. Novels, Vladimir Nabokov

Why there is no Lolita in the school curriculum, we can understand. But why so little time is given to other works of the author, such as Luzhin's Defense or Invitation to Execution, is a mystery. Nabokov discovered a completely new dimension of the Russian language - one that was unknown to either Pushkin or Tolstoy. His words sound, smell, feel on the skin and tongue. This is a synesthetic feast of sounds and colors, where not the most traditional topics for Russian literature are raised, such as the relationship between the author and his creation, the illusory nature of the world.

11. "Generation" P "", Viktor Pelevin

"Generation "P"" is the bible of the nineties. What is the new Russia, what are the values ​​of the emerging world, where are their origins and what is the meaning of the media - Pelevin, of course, digs much deeper than the level of an entertaining story about the adventures of a talented PR man Vavilen Tatarsky. The age-old problem “Who is living well in Russia?” is transformed into “What is Russia? What is good? And what, after all, does it mean to live?

Ideologically, Pelevin's work is somewhat outdated: there are already other realities in the yard. However, his approach to explaining phenomena, which combines postmodern ideas and the metaphysics of Indian and Iranian philosophy, is completely unique. The method of analysis of social phenomena discovered by Pelevin endows his creation with a timeless meaning.

12. "Boris Pasternak", Dmitry Bykov

The works of this writer cannot be found in the school curriculum for one simple reason: they have not yet managed to get there. Dmitry Bykov is one of the most prominent representatives of modern literature. This is a classic writer with a good sense of language and a desire for extensive disclosure of character images.

"Boris Pasternak" is a biographical work, however, thanks to Bykov's literary talent, it reads like a work of art and gives a textured understanding of Pasternak's life path.

And what books that remained outside the school curriculum do you remember?
