HOME IN "SEMINARY SKETCHES" BY N. G. POMYALOVSKY AND "THE SHKID REPUBLIC" BY G. BELYKH AND L. PANTELEEV
The concept of Home, which is traditional for Russian literature and culture, is explored in the context of «Seminary Sketches» by N. G. Pomyalovsky and «The Shkid Republic» by G. Belykh and L. Panteleev. The Seminary (Bursa) in «Seminary Sketches» by N. G. Pomyalovsky has attributes of an Anti-Home-Hell, in which its inhabitants perish. By contrast to this, a character of the state-owned house Shkid in «The Shkid Republic» by G. Belykh and L. Panteleev idtransforms from «Republic», Home-State to Home-Nest which gives its pupils a better start in life.
