Any writer can only dream of such a creative destiny as that of the great Russian writer Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev. Fate gave Turgenev the love of his contemporaries - after all, he wrote about the most pressing problems of his time - and the posthumous fame of a classic writer, understandable to many generations. The ability to combine socially significant ideas, subtle lyrics and deep psychologism allowed Turgenev to create such bright, memorable characters as only a beginner live, childishly spontaneous Asya from the story of the same name; the restless and passionate princess Zinaida (“First Love”); fiery revolutionary Insarov (novel "On the Eve"); Bazarov (the novel “Fathers and Sons”), striking with its inner strength and integrity, are immortal images that will not leave our contemporaries indifferent.
