The story of one city. Saltykov-Shchedrin M.E.

Historical Chronicle-a stinging parody or a sad thought?

Roman M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin “History of one City” received scandalous fame after the publication of the first chapters, before the publication of the whole work. The author was reproached for mockery of the Russian people, in the denial of the country, in the twitching of historical facts. However, Shchedrin himself objected: "I do not betray the history at all, but the well -known order of things." And he explained: "Preferring the life under the yoke of madness, I counted on excitement in the reader of bitter feelings, and not cheerfulness at all." And to this day, debate does not stop how the writer managed to implement the plan.
