Серия 24. Неизвестный Державин. Солдат, министр, поэт

Subscribe to the Dostoevsky Lecture Channel:    / @dostoverno_ru   *** Gavriil Derzhavin rose from a soldier's barracks position to governor and minister. He wrote the first unofficial anthem of the Russian Empire and served as Catherine the Great's personal secretary. We know him as a writer and poet, but, paradoxically, he himself did not take his creative work seriously. Who was "Felitsa" and why did she bring Derzhavin fame? What made him "famous" as governor, and why did he displease the Empress as personal secretary? How does a hobby become a calling, and what is the innovative nature of Derzhavin's work? Vladimir Medinsky will discuss this and much more in his new lecture as part of the "Stories from Russian History" series. 📚 Recommended reading: 1. Zapadov A. Derzhavin. M., 1958. 2. Mikhailov O.
