This comedy is included in the golden fund of Russian classics. Schoolchildren still write essays on it, critics and literary scholars to this day argue whether there is a positive hero in this satire on Moscow society. In it, everyone is to some extent comical, not excluding the frantic exposer of other people’s vices, Chatsky. In the rich gallery of images presented in the play, the bureaucratic world, and the dignitary nobility, and feudal landowners, and people of «advanced» views, the forerunners of the Decembrists, are masterfully shown. And what is the language of the work! The characters’ replicas have long gone into quotes, turned into aphorisms. Even those who have never read this play or have forgotten what it is about are familiar with the catchphrases: “Happy hours are not observed”; “And the smoke of the fatherland is sweet and pleasant to us”; “The tradition is fresh, but hard to believe”; “I would be glad to serve — it’s sickening to serve!”; «Blessed is he who believes: warmth to him in the world!»; “They would study looking at the elders”; «Ah, evil tongues are worse than a pistol»; «You won’t faze me with scholarship»; «Sin is not a problem, rumor is not good.» And many others … Listen to the immortal comedy of the genius playwright performed by the masters of the artistic word.
