Who is guilty? Herzen A.I.

Alexander Ivanovich Herzen (1812–1870) - Russian writer, publicist and revolutionary. In political life, he adhered to criticism of the monarchical system and advocated socialist transformations. He published the Almanac "Polar Star" and pursued social policy in the weekly "Bell". Especially important for literature were the essays written by him in exile and in which he could express his real position on many issues that had worried him.

The most important question in the novel is the name: who is to blame?, and the answer to it should be hidden on these pages. At the same time, the socio-psychological nature of the book implies many related fates, which you need to be able to track. Vladimir Beltov becomes the main exponent of the author’s ideas; His fate confirms the belief of the collapse of serfdom, which cannot recognize the ruling class.
