The mind cannot understand Russia,

Arshin is general not to measure:

She has a special way -

You can only believe in Russia.

“The mind does not understand Russia ...” is one of Fedor Tyutchev’s most famous and most often cited works. This poem, created in 1866, is, moreover, the shortest, since it consists of only four lines. However, the deep meaning of it, embedded in it, makes each new generation turn to these immortal words, so figuratively and aptly characterizing Russia.

Fedor Tyutchev lived quite a lot of time abroad, consisting in the state diplomatic service. He was well acquainted with the life of many European countries, which he considered exemplary and worthy of imitation. At the same time, the poet found this life too measured and fresh, devoid of “zest” and too predictable. The author was thinking a lot about why in pure and decent Europe, where even the lower classes of society live with dignity, people do not have in the soul of the fire that is characteristic of the Russians. It would seem that unsettled life, dirt, constant need and illness should not only lead to the mass extinction of the inhabitants of Russia, but also to the destruction of the whole country. However, events are developing exactly the opposite: Europe, enjoying a well -fed life, gradually degrades, and Russia, which lives in eternal poverty, not only increases economic turnover, but also gives the world the greatest minds, the owners of which in most cases are immigrants from the people.

Indeed, “the mind does not understand Russia,” since in this country the chaos reigns for centuries, which, oddly enough, is the national feature of the Slavs. A constant thirst for activity, the desire to live better, thousands of people pushing to make the most paradoxical and unpredictable decisions, which, ultimately, are the only true. Noting that Russia “not to measure the common arshin”, Fedor Tyutchev means the identity of the Russian people, which is not amenable to European logic and causes foreigners among foreigners. This applies not only to customs and traditions, the way of life and the structure of society, in which, by the time of writing this poem, serfdom was just canceled. First of all, we are talking about a mysterious Russian soul and an amazing image of the thoughts of Russians who do not fit in a global understanding. And it is precisely this quality, according to Fedor Tyutchev, that is the most important and valuable, since it serves as a guarantee that the Russian people are not healing in their philistine aspirations, like Europeans, and inquisitiveness and an innate desire for knowledge will force the nation even in the most difficult and most complex and the most complex and the most complex and the most difficult and oppressive conditions.

“She has a special way - you can only believe in Russia,” Fedor Tyutchev emphasizes, as if summing up his long -term thoughts and attempts to understand the phenomenon of his own country. Indeed, Russia is unpredictable, and this national trait of it puts a cross on the ambitious plans of many Europeans, who have been trying to conquer the country, which were not able to understand for centuries. Moreover, the Russians themselves are not able to answer the question of what awaits them in a year or two, because life is constantly changing, and the Slavic soul is alien to the feeling of inertia. Therefore, everything that remains is the belief in the power, which has power precisely because even the Russians themselves are not able to predict its next step.

It should be noted that Tyutchev’s words in this regard turned out to be prophetic, since all subsequent events that have occurred in Russia over one and a half centuries constantly shocked the world community. Therefore, it is not surprising that even the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the middle of the 19th century warned his compatriots from the war with Russia, claiming that it will respond to every military trick with incredible stupidity and will be in the winners.
