The book “Works” by the famous Russian writer and poet Nikolai Nekoasov includes three of his most famous works - “Who Lives Well in Rus'”, “Russian Women” and “Frost, Red Nose”, as well as a large cycle of poems. Book " Russian Women" is dedicated to the tragic fate of the wives of the Decembrists, who followed their husbands to Siberian penal servitude. "Who Lives Well in Rus'" reveals the diversity of life in Rus' in the 1860s. The most consistent work of N. Nekrasov is "Frost, Red Nose." This is a glorification of the image of a Russian peasant woman, in whom the author sees a disappearing type of “stately Slav woman”. The poem depicts only the bright sides of peasant nature and, thanks to the strict consistency of the style, there is nothing sentimental in it.
