«Ревизор»: в чем суть книги? Разбираем вселенский МЕМ от Гоголя | «ПРО ЧТО» (Пашков, Зайцева)

Everyone lies, steals, and gets by. At first glance, Gogol's "The Government Inspector" is about this. We all read this story in school. But that's not what makes it immortal. In the new episode of the "ABOUT WHAT" podcast, we returned to our literature lessons and, without formalities, explored the meanings. Why is "The Government Inspector" more than just a timeless classic? How does deception work? Why can't we understand the final scene without the Apocalypse? And what's really hidden in this collection of funny situations from Russian life? SUPPORT us so we can make new episodes: https://lp.foma.ru/donate/?utm_source...
