Goncharov without gloss. Fokin P.

Goncharova is not easy to guess. He did not like to advertise his personality. And innate modesty hindered, and the provincial origin was affected, and the secrecy of character, painful suspicion laid an imprint. There was no Turgenev brightness in it, the active temperament of Nekrasov, the Tolstoy's insolence, the burning gaze of Dostoevsky. He was soft and balanced in public, adhered to the rules of secular etiquette, appreciated educators and culture. It was also scrupulous and imaginary. Caution. Perhaps even timids - in relations with the authorities, in treating ladies, in lifestyle.

“Honimors” was not “a shot of” and “sacrifice” - unlike his peer, Herzen and a classmate Lermontov - but there was a “advanced warrior”: in the fight against despondency, laziness, cowardice, moral fatigue, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference, indifference licentiousness and idleness - and was the winner.
