1. The history of the creation of the poem. was an avid traveler, visited many countries of the world. But he always returned to Russia: native home his is located there, and it is dearest to him most of all.

Despite his glorification of the Fatherland, Yesenin was not a romantic idealist. He perfectly saw the negative sides of life in his country. But the poet forgave all the shortcomings of the country. He knew very well about the servility of the people, and about embezzlement among officials, hypocrisy and tyranny among landowners, the constant drunkenness of men, and the poor quality of roads.

Being married to an American, Yesenin had every chance of staying overseas. But he preferred Russia to foreign countries. Sergei Yesenin dedicated most of his poems to the Motherland and native nature. Many of his works are imbued with love for native land, Yesenin’s ability to find beauty in everything is clearly expressed.

2. Paths and images. The poet's homeland is a Russian village with many peasant houses. The poet felt part of nature and found inspiration in it. The poem “Go away, Rus'” can be considered a declaration of love for your native land. Despite all its shortcomings, Yesenin’s Motherland is a temple where everyone is able to return to their spiritual roots. He incredibly clearly demonstrates the contrasts of the Russian land - beauty and wretchedness, the kindness of people and the drunkenness of men, faith in God and the deification of the Tsar. But the life of the peasants seems to him more correct and consistent than his own. That is why he appreciates the Russian village, complementing its image Apple Spas, and the girls’ laughter compared to earrings.

He loves peasants for honoring the traditions of their ancestors and for being content with what they have. The poet tends to animate all living things, and here he does the same. He addresses Russia as to a loved one. There are dialectisms here (the round dance is called korogod) and the presence of church vocabulary (Savior; huts - in the vestments of the image; holy army). The whole picture is recreated through the lens of a “passing pilgrim.” Many techniques implemented by the author help you feel like you are in the village after a church service. The whole range of sound creates an atmosphere bell ringing. Even herself village hut resembles a temple. And the comparison of a village with a temple is the most important image in the poem.

The poet plays with flowers. Xin seems to be staring into his eyes. He sees the Russian land as clean and blue. This image was associated with the surface of water and especially with heaven. But the poet only hints at the abundance of golden color. It is present in the form of honey, and apples, and harvested fields, and thatched roofs.

3. Size and rhyme. The poem itself is melodic, it consists of five quatrains; trisyllabic meter - anapest. The rhyme here is cross.

4. The meaning of the poem. The poem is focused on the future tense throughout its entire length. Lyrical hero The author is going on a journey to explore the vast expanses of his native lands. The lyrical hero is happy, living in harmony with nature. He doesn't need any other happiness. Yesenin's lyrical hero is a village, curly-haired, cheerful boy with an accordion who sings songs about his native land.

By the time he wrote the poem “Go away, my dear Rus'...” in 1914, Sergei Yesenin had already gained fame as a famous Moscow poet. He achieved poetic fame, among other things, thanks to poems on the theme of the Motherland, to which he dedicated most works.

The main theme of the poem

The image of Rus' for Yesenin is his village world, which the Moscow mischievous reveler has already managed to yearn for, is the world of rural life and rural nature. The houses “smell of apple and honey”, “near the low outskirts the poplars are loudly withering.” This is the gray beauty of central Russia, but for every village corner and for every bump Yesenin finds a bright word. Critics note that in reality the phenomena described by the poet are much more boring and dull than the poetic descriptions he selected. Yesenin merges with nature, draws strength and inspiration from the village.

In the poem the poet refers to the past village life, trying to revive the life-giving sensations that he experienced while walking in Russian forests and meadows, while working and contemplating. main topic poems - love for the Motherland, the desire to feed on this love, breathe it in, experiencing the past, and radiate it in return. In his poetic return to his homeland, Yesenin sees himself as a “passing pilgrim,” as if he were on his way to some shrine, rushing to bow to it and reverently touch it, dreaming of spiritual healing. Rustic Rus' is associated with a large temple, bright and clear.

The poem is imbued with a bright love for Rus', the emotions are bright and joyful. The colors are bright, shiny: gold (“huts are in the robes of the image”), blue (“blue sucks the eyes”), “green lech”.

The mood of the poem is festive: it is both the joy of a date and a holiday in the village - the Savior with girlish laughter and dancing in the meadows.

In the last stanza, Yesenin hints that he has already visited many countries of the world, but nowhere was he as happy as in Russia. And even if he is offered to exchange his homeland not for another country, but for paradise, he knows that he will not find happiness in paradise - he needs his poor and rich, drinking, cheerful and crying, sublime and primitive, pious and blasphemous Rus'.

Structural analysis of the poem

The beginning of the poem is indicative - it is stylized as an address in dialogues in ancient Russian epics (“You are a goy, good fellow). “Goiti” in Old Russian meant a wish for health and prosperity. Everywhere vernacular, dialectisms showing the author’s reverent attitude towards his homeland: “ringing”, “korogod”, “lekh”, “privol”.

Bright poetic device, which the poet uses, is the personification of Rus'. The poet addresses the Motherland as if he is talking to it. The dancing is personified - it thunders, and the laughter - it rings, and the poplars - they “wither ringingly.”

The comparisons are extensive and multifaceted: “the huts are in the robe of the image,” “like earrings, a girl’s laughter will ring out.”

The landscape is metaphorical: the sky, which drowns the eyes, golden huts, trees rustling so that it seems as if they are ringing, not a trodden path, but a “crumpled stitch.”

The rhyme is cross, even and odd lines rhyme with each other. The rhyme is used alternately: in even lines it is feminine, in odd lines it is masculine.

The meter used by the poet is trochaic pentameter, it gives the poem a decisive, bold rhythm, and the closer to the end, the more decisive the poet is - he realizes that the main thing for a person is love for native land, which he absorbed with his mother’s milk and which is life-saving for him at any turn in life.

3. Solve the problem: Citizen O filed a claim against Citizen N in the court of Cholet for recognition of a child allegedly born from him on December 1, 1818. Citizen N categorically refused to recognize the child as his own, citing the fact that in the period from 5 to On May 18, 1818, he was in the intensive care unit of the Cholet hospital, as evidenced by the documents presented. Justify the court's decision in accordance with the French Civil Code early XIX V.

4. Solve the problem: Gustav Plisonnier, who got rich from military supplies, decided to decorate his house with a collection of valuable art objects. For a lot of money, in the summer of 1804, he purchased a Watteau painting from an antique dealer, but soon found out that the amount he paid was almost twice as much as the swindler-antique dealer himself had bought this painting for from an impoverished woman. noble family. What decision will the French court make on the claim of Monsieur Plisonnier, according to the French Civil Code of 1804?

In preparation for the first question, it is necessary to find out what actions in Ancient Rome were considered crimes, which distinguished them from private law torts, which of the criminal offenses are mentioned in the “Laws of the XII Tables”. Next, it is necessary to determine what types of punishments were provided for Roman law, principles of sentencing, whether the principle of talion was used in this case, whether it influenced the severity of the punishment social status victim and criminal, whether guilt was taken into account, forms of complicity, relapse.

In the second question, it is recommended, based on an analysis of constitutional norms, to draw up a diagram “System of organs state power and management”, accompanying it with a commentary on the order of formation (how they are elected, appointed; by whom; for what period) and functioning (powers and interaction among themselves). It is also necessary to clarify the issue of the form of the state (form of government, form of political regime, form of government).

To resolve the case, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic provisions of the French Civil Code of 1804, especially in relation to matrimonial and civil procedural law.

Option 15

1. Present the characteristics of the legal status of the main population groups according to the “Laws of Manu”.

2. Draw a schematic diagram of the state mechanism of the “Third Reich” in Hitler’s Germany.

3. Solve the problem: Citizen M and his son were walking along the river embankment. The Seines of Paris. M slipped, awkwardly waved his hand, which was holding a walking cane, and with the tip of the cane pierced the neck of his son, who died there. The jury sentenced M to death penalty, citing Articles 13 and 302 of the French Criminal Code of 1810. The prosecutor's office challenged this decision. Who is right?

4. Solve the problem: Having finally quarreled with her sons Pierre and Louis, the widow of a wealthy wine merchant Francoise Cherpentier in her hearts made a new will, in which she declared her only heir illegitimate son Jacques. Naturally, after the death of their mother, the legitimate children challenged the will in court. What decision must the court make according to the French Civil Code of 1804?

To answer the first question, it is necessary to determine the division into which social groups The Laws of Manu are considered the most significant for public life? Why did varna differences rather than class differences come to the fore in Ancient India? Next, we should give a description of the origin of the varna system, the order of acquiring varna status, and the hierarchy of varnas. When analyzing articles that define legal status various varnas, it is necessary to pay attention to the rights and privileges, as well as restrictions on the type of activity, participation in legal relations, public and economic life, legal liability. In this case, special attention should be paid to the characteristics of slavery in Ancient India and determine why it did not become as widespread as in other countries?

On the second question, based on an analysis of the recommended literature and on the basis of legal acts, a diagram “System of public authorities and management” should be drawn up, accompanied by a commentary on the order of formation (how they are elected, appointed; by whom; for how long) and functioning (powers and interaction with each other ). It is also necessary to determine the reasons for the establishment of the fascist regime.

To resolve incidents, we recommend that you carefully read the provisions of the French Criminal Code, especially those relating to types and groups of crimes, as well as the French Civil Code of 1804, which deals, among other things, with issues of family and inheritance.
