The novel “The Captain's Daughter” (you should not read it in abbreviation if you want to feel the feelings of the characters) will tell the reader about the events described in the memoirs of the nobleman P. A. Grinev, a man fifty years old. The work tells the story of the uprising caused by the rebel Pugachev, in which Pyotr Andreevich, being a seventeen-year-old officer, unwittingly took part.
In an ironic form, A. S. Pushkin presents Grinev’s childhood memories to the reader. “The Captain's Daughter” tells the story of a young nobleman who chased pigeons and played leapfrog with local boys. Grinev recalls that when he was still in his mother’s womb, he was already registered as a sergeant in Savelich, who looked after Petrusha as a child, and was given the honor of being the boy’s uncle for his sober lifestyle.
The novel (the article provides a brief retelling) “The Captain's Daughter” tells the story that when Grinev was seventeen years old, his father decided to send his son to serve, but not in St. Petersburg, but in the regular army in Orenburg. Young Peter's dreams of a cheerful and brilliant life in the capital city are crumbling, replaced by the expectation of boredom in a distant and remote side.
When Grinev and Savelich approach Orenburg, a snowstorm overtakes them. The wagon wanders in a snowstorm, having lost its way. A. S. Pushkin continues his novel with the miraculous salvation of the characters. “The Captain's Daughter” tells the story of a man the travelers meet by chance, who leads them to the village. The guide is dressed very lightly, and Grinev presents him with his sheepskin coat and wine as a token of gratitude for his salvation.
From Orenburg Peter was sent to serve in the Belgorod fortress, which turns out to be a simple village. It has neither a brave garrison nor formidable artillery, but only disabled people and an old cannon.
Next, the novel “The Captain's Daughter” introduces the reader to the commandant of the fortress, Ivan Kuzmich Mironov, his wife Vasilisa Egorovna and their daughter Masha. Grinev gradually becomes “native” to them and becomes attached to a kind and honest family.
Lieutenant Shvabrin becomes close to Peter due to his education, age and occupation. But soon a conflict occurs between them, based on a common sympathy for Masha Mironova, which ends in a duel. Reading the novel “The Captain's Daughter” in abbreviation, we learn about Grinev’s injury in this battle. Masha takes care of him, and the young people confess their sympathy for each other.
Did A.S. Pushkin allow lovers to be together? The captain's daughter is without a dowry, and Grinev's father forbids them to marry. Peter becomes despondent and retires. A good emotional shock for him is the unexpected attack on the fortress of the rebels led by the rebel Pugachev Emelyan.
The fortress has fallen, the prisoners are being taken to swear an oath to the leader of the gang, Grinev is among them. The commandant and his wife are killed, Peter Pugachev pardoned. It turns out that the rebel is the tramp to whom Grinev granted the sheepskin coat.
The gang chieftain talks with Peter and, amazed by his sincerity, releases the officer. Grinev rushes to Orenburg to ask for help, since Masha remains in the fortress. What frightens Peter most of all is that his enemy Shvabrin has been appointed commandant. He wastes no time forcing the girl to marry him.
Grinev is refused help, and he follows to the fortress himself. Returning to the rebels, Peter meets with Pugachev and explains the reason for his trip. The rebel decides to punish Shvabrin and rescue Masha.
What ending did A.S. Pushkin prepare for the reader? The captain's daughter is released and goes to Grinev's parents as his bride. The groom himself, remaining in the army, fights with the rebels. Shvabrin accuses him of being a spy. Peter is arrested, he faces exile to eternal settlement in Siberia.
Masha saves her lover from shame by asking the queen herself for mercy for Grinev. The Empress listened to the girl and pardoned Peter.
Creativity of A.S. Pushkin in the last years of his life was extremely diverse: artistic and historical prose - “The Queen of Spades”, “Egyptian Nights”, “Dubrovsky”, “The Captain’s Daughter”, “The History of Peter”. P.A. Pisemsky characterized this stage of Alexander Sergeevich’s work as follows: “the work is complex, multi-embracing, almost all-encompassing.”
In January 1832, Alexander Sergeevich made the first draft of the historical story “The Captain's Daughter”. In it the main characters are Grinev, Masha and Shvabrin. Both main characters loved Masha Mironova, but she reciprocated only one of them, Grinev.
Both owners of hearts that loved the captain's daughter were strong personalities. Both were young and talented in their own way. Grinev, unlike Shvabrin, had an attractive appearance. We see Alexei Ivanovich’s appearance through the eyes of Pyotr Grinev, who met him on the first morning of his stay in the Belarusian fortress:
“A young officer of short stature came in to me with a dark and distinctly ugly face, but extremely lively.”
Shvabrin can safely be called the antipode of Peter. Despite the intelligence inherent in this hero, he is not distinguished by clever conclusions and statements. The only thing that constantly comes out of his mouth: ridicule mixed with contempt. He speaks extremely insultingly about Masha, like she’s a fool, and in addition to this, he personally spreads dirty rumors about her. Shvabrin is not distinguished by high spiritual qualities, but, on the contrary, displays the highest degree of dishonor.
Alexey Ivanovich often deceived Grinev and openly mocked him. For example, when telling Petrusha about the family of his chosen one and about others, he lied more than he told the truth. At first Grinev thought it was a joke:
“With great joy he described to me the commandant’s family, his society and the region where fate had brought me. I laughed from the bottom of my heart...
But the longer it went on, the less fun it was and more and more boring:
“Hour by hour his conversation became less pleasant for me. I really didn’t like his constant jokes about the commandant’s family, especially his caustic remarks about Marya Ivanovna.”
Well describes the disposition of Shvabrin and Grinev towards Maria at the moment of reading Petrusha’s original poem. Having read to Alexei Ivanovich the fruit of his labor, born out of loving impulses, Petrusha expects praise, but to his great amazement he sees another Shvabrin in front of him. Instead of the usually condescending comrade, a decisive and harsh critic appears before him.
“He took the notebook from me and began to mercilessly analyze every verse and every word, mocking me in the most caustic way.”
Shvabrin laughs at Grinev’s sincere feelings, giving advice to give Masha earrings instead of a love letter. By this, he not only reduces Petrusha’s love to base desires, but also slanderes Masha’s honor.
“...If you want Masha Mironova to come to you at dusk, then instead of tender poems, give her a pair of earrings”...
Shvabrin, insulting Masha, wanted to break the mutual love between the girl and Grinev, wanted to get his more successful rival out of the way in such a vile way.
Petrusha, in contrast to Shvabrin, tries to win Maria’s favor with justice. For example, during a duel, Grinev almost wins... However, this was not destined to happen, since Shvabrin, as a man without honor, took advantage of the fact that Petrusha was distracted by Savelich’s shout and pierced his chest with a sword.
Challenging Grinev to a duel, Shvabrin was convinced that the young man was not skilled in the science of sword fighting... But realizing that he was losing, he acted like a coward. And here we again see the contradictory characters of the two heroes. Since Grinev appears before us as a sincere, brave person. These qualities will be tracked in him throughout the novel. Now let's move away from the love line and consider the behavior of the two heroes during the Pugachev rebellion.
“The line was behind me. I looked boldly at Pugachev, preparing to repeat the answer of my generous comrades. Then, to my indescribable amazement, I saw among the rebel elders Shvabrin, with his hair cut in a circle and wearing a Cossack caftan. He approached Pugachev and said a few words in his ear. “Hang him!” - said Pugachev, without looking at me. They put a noose around my neck.”
Shvabrin goes over to Pugachev’s side not because of personal views, but because of fear. He was simply afraid that Pugachev, after taking the fortress, would kill him.
Grinev did not allow himself to take such a step. He was not allowed to go over to the side of the impostor by such qualities as honor, love and devotion to his homeland. In addition, Grinev, unlike Shvabrin, was characterized by such a trait as courage.
Of course, it cannot be said that in all scenes we see Shvabrin as a purely negative hero. In one case, he was kind, but this impulse did not last long: in the end, in a fit of anger, he revealed the true origin of Maria to Pugachev.
“What is Shvabrin like, Alexey Ivanovich? After all, he cut his hair into a circle and now he’s feasting with them right there! Agile, nothing to say! And as I said about my sick niece, do you believe it, he looked at me like he was piercing me with a knife; however, he didn’t give it away, thanks to him for that too.”
Pyotr Andreevich's courage grows and strengthens with each new episode. It should also be noted his courage in attempting to rescue his betrothed from the captured Belogorodskaya fortress, who was expected to marry Shvabrin.
Masha was persuaded to marry Alexei Ivanovich by the new commander of the Belogorodskaya fortress, who himself was Shvabrin. Being in a new rank that allowed him to command, Shvabrin began to threaten Mironova. He understood that she would not marry him honestly. But the power of the love of a young heart is not so weak that some coward, traitor, liar could break it. Pugachev also understands Shvabrin’s dishonest behavior; he wants to punish Alexei Ivanovich, but he is lying at his feet, completely losing his sense of dignity. Realizing the unworthy behavior of the commander he appointed, Pugachev gives the order to release Masha. Leaving the fortress with Masha, Grinev sees his former comrade humiliated, but does not feel triumphant: he does not gloat, but turns away with regret.
The novel “The Captain's Daughter” had it all: love, death, kindness, anger, betrayal and courage. We see that Pushkin outlines a direct connection between meanness, dishonor and shame, and draws a similar line between courage, honor and the ability to be grateful.
Conducted on behalf of Pyotr Andreevich Grinev. This is a young man, 17-18 years old. He is the son of a nobleman living in the Simbirsk province, a retired prime minister. His father, Andrei Petrovich Grinev, has a deeply developed sense of noble honor and duty to the state. The retired major enrolled his son in the Semenovsky regiment, not yet knowing who would be born to him. He raised in his son the qualities that a real nobleman should have - honor, fearlessness, generosity.
Pyotr Andreevich received a home education. At first, his “education” was carried out by the stirrup, the Grinev serf. Surely, he taught Peter to understand more than just dogs. Peter Savelich taught Russian literacy. Spending a lot of time with the child, he probably told him war stories, fairy tales that left their mark on the boy’s soul. When the boy turned 12 years old, he was assigned a tutor from Moscow, who did not bother himself very much with classes with the noble youth. However, the boy's receptive mind acquired the necessary knowledge of French, which allowed him to translate.
One day, the father entered the room and saw his child “studying” geography. The transformation of a geographical map into a flying kite while the teacher was sleeping angered the old major, and the tutor was kicked out of the estate.
When Pyotr Andreevich turned 17 years old, the father called his son to him and announced that he was sending him to serve the fatherland. But contrary to Petrusha’s expectations, he was sent not to the capital, but to distant Orenburg, bordering the Kyrgyz steppes. This prospect did not make the young man very happy.
“Petrusha will not go to St. Petersburg. What will he learn while serving in St. Petersburg? hang around and hang out? No, let him serve in the army, let him pull the strap, let him smell gunpowder, let him be a soldier, not a shamaton.”
These words of Andrei Petrovich express the character of an officer of the old school - a decisive, strong-willed and responsible person, but moreover, they express the attitude of a father to his son. After all, it’s no secret that all parents strive to place their beloved children in a place where it’s comfortable and requires less work. And Andrei Petrovich wanted to raise his son to be a real man and officer.
The image of Pyotr Grinev, created by Pushkin in The Captain's Daughter, is not just a positive character. The story shows his growing up, the strengthening of his moral qualities and his ability to overcome difficulties.
During the journey, Pyotr Andreevich met Ivan Ivanovich Zurin, who took advantage of the inexperience of Grinev, who fluttered out of his father’s house for the first time. He got the young man drunk and beat him.
It cannot be said that Pyotr Andreevich was flighty and reckless. He was just still young. And he looked at the world with childish, innocent eyes. This evening and meeting Zurin served as a good lesson for Grinev. He never indulged in gaming or drinking again.
In the episode with the hare sheepskin coat, Grinev showed kindness and generosity, which later saved his life.
In the Belogorsk fortress, where the Orenburg general sent him to serve, Grinev quickly got along with the inhabitants of the fortress. Unlike, whom many here did not respect, Grinev became his own man in the Mironov family. The service did not tire him, and in his free time he became interested in literary creativity.
In the story with him, he showed, if not courage (in this case, this word is simply inappropriate), then determination, the desire to stand up for the honor of the girl he liked.
He will show his courage later when, on pain of death, he refuses to swear allegiance to the impostor and kiss his hand. turned out to be the same companion who helped Grinev get to the inn, and to whom Grinev gave his hare sheepskin coat.
A sense of honor and duty to the state and the empress to whom he took the oath, honesty to the end before Pugachev, and not only before him, elevate the young man in the eyes of the reader. Grinev will also show courage when he goes to Belogorskaya to rescue him from Shvabrin’s hands. The fact that Grinev is ready to go to hard labor so as not to involve Masha, the daughter of Captain Mironov, whom he managed to fall in love with, into the proceedings also speaks in his favor.
During the year that Grinev served in the Orenburg province, a year filled with events that more than once confronted him with a moral choice. And during the time he spends in prison, he will receive moral strengthening. This year has made a man out of a boy.
Take care of your honor from a young age...
A. S. Pushkin
One of my favorite works of Russian classical literature is A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter.” The writing of the story was preceded by many years of work by the author, who studied the history of the popular uprising led by Emelyan Pugachev, listened to the songs and stories of his contemporaries. The result was a wonderful work of art, the main character of which is Pyotr Andreevich Grinev.
At the beginning of the story, this is an undergrowth, chasing pigeons with the yard boys, living carefree in the family of a landowner. Petrushenka was spoiled, he did not study science seriously, but he dreamed of serving in St. Petersburg. Contrary to his wishes, the father sends the young man not to the city on the Neva, but to the distant Orenburg province. The father, who faithfully served the Fatherland, wanted to see his son as a real man, and not a waster of life. Before leaving, Pyotr Grinev hears parting words from his parent to “preserve honor from a young age.”
Further events described by A.S. Pushkin are serious life trials that shape the hero’s personality. He shows nobility and gratitude at the inn, generously rewarding the guide for salvation in the stormy steppe. Honor and dignity do not allow Pyotr Andreevich not to pay for his loss with Zurin. In the Belogorsk fortress, having met the family of Captain Mironov, Pyotr Andreevich became a welcome guest in the commandant’s house, showing intelligence, respect and correctness. Having fallen in love with Masha Mironova, the young man goes to a duel with Shvarin, who has discredited the name of his beloved. In a peaceful, distant fortress, we see how the hero changes, how he shows the best human qualities and wins our respect.
The Peasant War led by Emelyan Pugachev dramatically changed the lives of all participants in the events and confronted the young officer with a moral choice. When I read the episodes of the story describing the behavior of the garrison after the fall of the Belogorsk fortress, I sincerely admired Grinev’s courage and his decision not to swear allegiance to the impostor. He knew perfectly well that the gallows awaited him. But he could not betray the empress and intended to remain faithful to his military duty to the end. A hare's sheepskin coat, given to the guide at the inn, saved the life of the young officer. Pugachev did not execute him because he found out.
And from this moment the special relationship between Pugachev and Grinev begins. I think that the moral qualities of the hero: courage, loyalty to military duty, decency, honesty - allowed him to win respect in the eyes of Emelyan Pugachev himself. The runaway Cossack and the Russian officer, of course, could not become friends, but good relations arose between them. Pugachev, at the request of Pyotr Andreevich, saves Masha from Shvabrin and sets her free. The hero is grateful to him for this, but refuses to swear allegiance. I’m sure it was the officer’s honesty, uncompromisingness, and sincerity that bribed the impostor.
Having passed all the tests, risking his life, Pyotr Grinev did not sully his honor like Alexei Shvabrin. For this I deeply respect him. He followed his father's instructions and became a real Russian officer. In the story, A.S. Pushkin showed us how the personality of a young officer was formed, how his character was tempered, and his outlook on life changed. Grinev, making mistakes, gained invaluable experience, which allowed him to become brave and courageous, capable of defending both his homeland and his beloved. The author is proud of his hero and rewards him with personal happiness with Masha Mironova. What seems interesting to me is the fact that the narration of events comes from the perspective of the aged Pyotr Andreevich, leaving notes for his descendants. The notes contain a thought expressed decades ago by his father: “Take care of your honor from a young age!”
I consider A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter” to be one of the works that is important and necessary for modern youth. We can find answers to many life questions in it. And the most important thing is to remember that honor must be protected from a young age!
A. S. Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter” is a work that, in addition to recreating real historical events, contains deep moral meaning.
Pyotr Grinev is the central character of the novel, on whose behalf the story is told. This is a seventeen-year-old young man, the son of a nobleman living in the Simbirsk province. His father, Andrei Petrovich Grinev, is a man with a developed sense of honor and duty to the fatherland. He always sought to instill in his son the qualities of a true nobleman - courage, honor, valor, bravery. Even before the birth of his son, Andrei Petrovich enrolled him in the Semenovsky regiment.
Petrusha received his education at home. His first teacher was the Grinevs’ serf, Savelich, who taught the boy Russian literacy.
When Petrusha was twelve years old, he was assigned a tutor from Moscow, who was not particularly eager to fulfill his duties as a child of the nobility. But this did not prevent the receptive boy from mastering French, which later allowed him to take up translations.
At seventeen, the young man went to serve his fatherland. But not to the capital, as he wanted. The father sent his son to distant Orenburg, which did not please the young man at all.
Meeting Ivan Ivanovich Zurin, who, after getting the inexperienced Grinev drunk, beat him, became a good lesson for the young man. In the episode with the duel, Pyotr Andreevich showed courage and the ability to stand up for the girl’s honor.
In the Belogda fortress, where the Orenburg general sent him, Grinev witnesses a peasant uprising under the command of Emelyan Pugachev. Because of his refusal to join the rebels, Grinev faces death, and only chance helped him survive. Pugachev turned out to be the same companion who helped Grinev get to the fortress and to whom he gave the hare sheepskin coat in gratitude.
Pyotr Andreevich also shows courage during the rescue of Masha, the daughter of Captain Mironov, from the Belogda fortress, in whose family he managed to become one of his own.
The actions of the main character fully correspond to the proverb chosen by Pushkin as an epigraph: “Take care of your honor from a young age.”

Option 3
Pyotr Andreevich Grinev is one of the central characters in A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter.” The work is constructed in the form of memoirs of Pyotr Andreevich, in which he talks about his childhood, about his service, about the Pugachev rebellion, about his love for Marya Mironova. The reader sees how from a carefree teenager, under the influence of severe trials, one of the best representatives of the nobility and the Russian army is formed. The hero is sincere, faithful to duty and honor, generous, decent, brave, noble and not a stranger to self-irony.
Grinev comes from the family of a retired military man, a “prime major,” and the daughter of a poor nobleman. As a child, Petrusha grew up as a carefree teenager who spent his time playing with the “yard boys” and chasing pigeons. The boy's upbringing was first carried out by the eager Savelich, then by the Frenchman Beaupré, who was discharged “from Moscow along with a year's supply of wine and Provençal oil.” But despite the fact that Beaupre did not make any effort in terms of training, and from Savelich the hero, in his words, learned only Russian literacy and “could very sensibly judge the properties of a greyhound dog,” in the further narration the reader sees that Grinev is very educated young man. He writes poetry, does translations, and reads books in French.
At the 17th year of his life, the hero goes to serve at the behest of his father. Petrusha's youthful dreams of the guard are full of anticipations of pleasure and freedom. The father, an old-school military man, believes that serving in St. Petersburg is harmful for his son, since there he will only learn to “wind and hang around.” Andrei Petrovich sends his son to Orenburg, which was provincial at that time, under the leadership of his old friend and comrade. The father’s main order is to take care of “honor from a young age” and serve faithfully.
On the way to his place of duty, Grinev commits actions that betray his inexperience and youthful frivolity, his lordly manners, his desire to prove to Savelich, to himself, and to those around him that he is no longer a child. The narrator describes episodes of drinking and gambling with Zurin, a quarrel with Savelich, without hiding anything, calling himself a boy who has broken free. But his further behavior testifies to the existence in Peter of a moral core, such character qualities as honesty, sincerity, loyalty to duty and oath, the ability to admit one’s mistakes, the ability to be grateful and noble.
Grinev asks Savelich for forgiveness, admitting that he was wrong, and sincerely repents of his frivolous behavior at a roadside tavern: “... I’m guilty; I see for myself that I am guilty. Yesterday I misbehaved, and I wronged you in vain.” He gives his hare sheepskin coat to the counselor in gratitude for leading them to the inn during a snowstorm. The hero shows nobility by standing up for the honor of Masha Mironova in a duel with Shvabrin. The same character trait forces Pyotr Andreevich not to mention the name of his beloved at the trial and does not allow him to triumph over Shvabrin in the scene of his departure with Marya Ivanovna from the captured Belogorsk fortress.
Grinev, under threat of death, refuses to swear allegiance to Pugachev, because “he swore allegiance to the Empress” and cannot change his oath out of a sense of duty and honor. Peter is able to feel sympathy for someone who was an enemy to everyone; is able to perceive a servant as a reliable and irreplaceable friend and risk his life to save loved ones.
The image of Pyotr Grinev is an example of courage, honesty, generosity, nobility, those qualities that were inherent in the best officers and representatives of the nobility of Russia.
Essay on the theme of Grinev in the novel The Captain's Daughter
One of the main characters in the immortal novel by A. S. Pushkin is Pyotr Andreevich Grinev. Peter was born into a simple family of an honored officer. His family was quite large, but only Peter managed to live to adulthood. His father tried his best to provide some kind of education. Peter was also taught by Savelich, who taught the boy literacy and writing. And the Frenchman, who, for all his importance, did not give anything useful.
Seeing that his son would never receive a normal education and could finally turn into a parasite while serving in St. Petersburg, Peter’s father decided that it was better to send him to Orenburg. Although Peter was not happy about this event, he could not contradict his parents, since from childhood he had developed feelings of respect, veneration and obedience. Before sending his son, Grinev Sr. instructed to observe the most important rule, which read: “Take care of your dress again, and take care of your honor from a young age.” This was strongly imprinted on the young man’s soul, and he served the Empress with faith and courage.
Gradually, Pyotr Grinev became from an ordinary guy into a brave and fair man. Who once defended Masha’s honor and challenged her offender to a duel. He was also not afraid to resist when talking with Emelyan Pugachev, and made it clear that under no circumstances would he go over to his side, and if he had to, he would fight with his entire gang. And despite the fact that he could have been killed, Peter went to save Maria from Shvabrin.
Exceptionally, the image of Pyotr Grinev is filled with courage and a certain dexterity, which helped him overcome even the most difficult and dangerous obstacles. And undoubtedly his kind and generous character saved him when he met Pugachev, and I give Peter his life.
Image of Grinev
The work "The Captain's Daughter" in its plot recreates real events that went down in history, through which the author conveys to the reader the deep meaning of morality.
Pyotr Grinev is a key character in the novel who leads the narrative. This is a young man of seventeen, from a poor noble family, who received a home education. The boy was taught literacy by the simple serf Savelich.
At the age of 12, Peter was sent to a Moscow tutor, who had no particular desire to educate the boy. But Peter was so inquisitive that he was easily able to master the French language, which later made it possible to carry out translations.
At the age of 17, Grinev was sent by his father to serve in Orenburg. His father's decision somewhat upset the young man, who had an ambitious desire to serve in the capital.
If we assume that Pushkin tried to create an exclusively positive image of Grinev, then this will not be entirely true. During the course of the story, one can observe how personal formation takes place, the formation of the character necessary to overcome emerging difficulties.
An instructive lesson for the immature Grinev is a meeting with Ivan Zurin, who, after getting the young man drunk and taking advantage of his inexperience, begins to play the game dishonestly.
Throughout the entire work, the image of Grinev undergoes a dynamic change. At the very beginning, we see a boy with a naive soul who has no worries. Next, a youthful image of the self-affirming personality of a young officer is revealed, and in the end he is a fully formed, matured man. Pyotr Grinev is perceived by the reader as a positive hero, who, like an ordinary person, has his own advantages and disadvantages. Despite his laziness and frivolity, he remains a good-natured person.
Having chosen Grinev as narrator, Pushkin does not try to hide behind his back; a clear author’s position can be traced throughout the entire storyline. The writer puts all his mental reflections into his hero, thereby shaping him as an independent personality. Certain situations are selected, thanks to which the hero acts as Pushkin himself wishes.
Nowadays the theme of dystopias is in fashion. New books are constantly being written, films are being made. And people go to the cinemas to watch the next “Jays”, where they always show the cruel world of the future
In my opinion, there is no way that every young girl would be able to keep up with her one and only business. And the impersonality of tsikah and romantic books about light-hearted love. The brightest book about romantic romance
In one provincial town at the beginning of the 19th century, the famous comedy of N.V. begins. Gogol The Inspector General. City N is presented in the work as a collective image of the provinces of Russia, which are similar to each other.
