Из пламя и света

Even from the school curriculum, everyone knows Mikhail Lermontov not only from the poem “On the death of a poet” or the poem “Mtsyri”. But who is hiding behind the glossy image presented in the pages of textbooks and prefaces to multivolume bibliography? Who was and what did the great Russian poet live? A pamper of the upper world and a nobleman, he, in part, repeated the fate of the one about whom he wrote. A tragic duel. So ended the life of ambiguous, still not understood and underestimated by contemporaries, one of the best creators of the XIX century. The authors of the film recreated the last days of the great Russian poet, looked at him not entirely from the “canonical” side and showed the ambiguity of the personality of Mikhail Lermontov.
