KARAMZIN’S MOTIVES IN PUSHKIN’S TRAGEDY “BORIS GODUNOV”
The present paper is devoted to the comparison of A. S. Pushkin’s tragedy “Boris Godunov” with “History of Russian State” by Karamzin. Apprehending by Pushkin the artistic originality of Karamzin’s “History of the Russian State” appeared not only in real corresponding, idea community, but in the artistically – aesthetic influence of “History” by Karamzin to the Pushkin’s tragedy. Analyzing the organization of artistic time and space around the images of Boris Godunov and the False Demetrius it’s possible to see the definite rhythmic drawing which is similar very much with Karamzin’s presentation of the 10th –12th centuries events of “History of the Russian State.”
