Tyutcheva biography and creativity
About the author Fedor Ivanovich Tyutchev is a famous Russian poet, diplomat, publicist and secret adviser. Fyodor Ivanovich was born on November 23 of the year in the family estate of the Ovstug Oryol province. One of the boy’s home teachers was the poet and translator Semyon Raich, who paid special attention to the study of poem and classic languages. The training was so successful that already at the age of 12, Fedor began to translate Horace Odges, and two years later began to attend lectures of the verbal department of Moscow University in free order.
At the age of 15, he was adopted among the university students, and the very next year he was elected to the society of fans of Russian literature. After graduating from the university, Fyodor became an employee in the State College of Foreign Affairs and left for Germany as a freelance attache. In Munich, he makes useful literary acquaintances, in particular, begins to communicate with Heine and Schelling.
In the year, Tyutchev was awarded the court rank of chamberlain, and four years later his work abroad suddenly stopped, but he continued to live in Germany up to a year.
Having secured the support of Emperor Nicholas I himself, Tyutchev was actively published, expressing an opinion on the problems of political relations between Russia and Europe, maintaining the positive appearance of his native country. In the year, Tyutchev returns to his homeland, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which he receives the position of senior censor in three years.
Fedor Tyutchev: The author’s literary debut took place in the year when he anonymously published an article “Letter to Dr. Kolba”, where he reflected his vision of political relations between Russia and Europe. The article attracted the special attention of the emperor, who approved its content, since it fully corresponded to his thoughts. After returning to Russia, Tyutchev enters the community of the famous literary critic of Vissarion Belinsky.
During this period, he almost does not write poems, but he is actively working on articles in French, some of them then became part of the “Russia and the West” treatise. In this work, Fedor Ivanovich recreated the image of a great power, noting its Orthodox character and emphasizing the idea of dividing the whole world into two parts - revolutionary Europe and conservative Russia.
The latter, according to Tyutchev, was supposed to become the head of the Slavic-Orthodox Union of States. One of the significant chapters of Tyutchev’s work was the love lyrics, which literary critics often unite in the lovingly-tragedy cycle of poems dedicated to Elena Denisieva. In this cycle, the idea of comparing love with tragedy and an evil fate, followed by devastation and death, passes in this cycle with a red thread.
According to critics, the main features of Tyutchev’s works are the following: the image of a person outside the usual life, as an image, sensitive to beautiful and subtle matters; maximum conciseness and rich emotionality; The active use of repeated images of doubletes in different poems. After the fruitful period of the love lyrics, the poet moved to the composition of poems on political topics in the format of “bargained slogans” and “journalism in verses”.
Fedor himself perfectly understands that his poems now support state interests in the form in which he imagines them. Until his death, Tyutchev showed a lively interest in the situation in Europe. At the beginning of the winter of the year, the poet began a sharp deterioration in health, and after the middle of the summer of next year he died and was buried in the cemetery at the Novodevichy Monastery.
