A.S. Pushkin tried to convey to his large readership all his worries for the future of the people and his country. Nothing passed by his soul and his pen without a trace. So the uprising of the Decembrists in St. Petersburg on Senate Square in 1825 shocked him to a pain in his heart. He took their defeat as a personal tragedy. At that time, the poet was out of favor with the tsar and was unable to support his Decembrist friends at that time, since he was already in exile in the family estate of Mikhailovsky. But when Tsar Nicholas I asked Pushkin a little later about where he would have been if he had been in Petersburg on December 14, Pushkin replied that he was on Senate Square, because there were his friends who were in a secret society, but did not dedicate to their affairs of the already disgraced poet.
Analysis of the poem "In the depths of Siberian ores"
And here she is - the first reaction to this shock (his famous poem) - just addresses the theme of those tragic events. The analysis of the poem “In the depths of Siberian ores” shows that it was dedicated to the anniversary of events and was just written at the end of 1826. During the life of the poet, it was never published. Having created it, Pushkin took great risks, he persuaded the wife of the Decembrist Muravyov to deliver this work to his exiled friends. After all, they, humiliated and dishonored, more than ever, were waiting for support and understanding. And with his work he raised their morale and gave hope for a speedy release. And this was not his only poem, which he passed on to his Decembrist friends.
Analysis of the poem "In the depths of Siberian ores." Summary
Addressing his comrades in the first quatrain, Pushkin writes words in which he assures his friends that their feat is not in vain and that descendants will remember him even after a hundred years. That, being in a dark dungeon, they will still be able to see the “coveted time" without autocracy and serfdom. Sooner or later, their fate will finally be favorable to them, and they will certainly be freed from the shackles, thanks to their fellow thinkers.
If we conduct a detailed analysis of the poem “In the depths of Siberian ores”, it becomes clear that none of this will happen, and Pushkin’s predictions will not come true. Only after a quarter of a century, only a few Decembrists will receive an amnesty and survive. Many of them will not stand these difficult tests, and those who return by that time will already be weak old people, deprived of all high ranks and titles.
Theme, genre and construction
Here's what else is important to say, based on a deep analysis of the poem "In the depths of Siberian ores." Pushkin makes his main emphasis on a person with an internal stable core, who, despite the difficulties, will be invincible and able to go to his goal to the end.
This work is written by four-foot iamba. For vivid artistic expression, the poet uses various means: epithets, metaphor, detailed comparison, alliteration and assonance. Both in terms of expressiveness and perception, it is very strong and stands in the context of the freedom-loving lyrics of A. S. Pushkin, which includes the ode to "Liberty", verses "Anchar", "To Chaadaev", "Village", "Arion" and many, many other famous works.
To this message Pushkin received an answer from the exiled friend of the poet Odoevsky and also in verses - “String of Prophetic Flaming Sounds ...”. Although Pushkin was against all riots and uprisings, he could not help but support his friends in such difficult times, from which even their relatives turned their backs. Pushkin was not involved in these events, but in the papers of every arrested Decembrist were his poems.
Conclusion
Concluding the analysis of the poem “In the depths of Siberian ores”, I want to note the fact that he was remembered by young descendants who fought with the German invaders during the Great Patriotic War. The Young Guard read it as a saving prayer in order to survive in the fascist dungeons, and this helped not to break their will and spirit. Therefore, this work of the poet was not in vain.
