| Description | The article analyses the connotations bound on the depiction of the tsar Peter the Great and Alexander the I in the poem by A. S. Pushkin The bronze Horseman. The thorough analysis makes it possible to conclude that Pushkin depicts Peter the I like a great builder, but at the same time as an insensistive, autocratic ruler who treats his neighbours and enemies in a confrontational way. Alexander the I is shown as an antipode of Peter. Although Pushkin casts no doubt upon the place of the tsar and upon his power, he creates in this way a picture of Russian society which is submitted to tsar but he demands at the same time that the tsar does not evince strongly autocratic qualities. |
