A. PUSHKIN AND P. CHAADAEV "PERSONALITY" IN THE CONTEXT OF "PERSONALITY - CULTURE". ON THE ISSUE
The specificity of positioning the two great representatives of the Russian literature and philosophy of the first half of the 19th century in the culture is determined by their attitude to the history of Russia. At the time of Alexander I the ideology of «enlightened freedom» united the characters. But after the defeat of the Decembrists, Pushkin and Chaadaev generally pursue the ideology of «private life». Pushkin was characterized by the position of «private person» whose free creativity could benefit Russia, whereas Chaadaev affirmed the institutional significance of «private person» as «disengaged person» by his existence and work.
