The image of the fairy-tale heroine Snow Maiden was formed in the popular consciousness gradually over the centuries. . In 1873, A. N. Ostrovsky, under the influence of Afanasyev’s ideas, wrote the play “The Snow Maiden”. Initially the play was not a success with the public. A Spring Tale by A.N. Ostrovsky was highly appreciated by A.I. Goncharov and I.S. Turgenev, however, many responses from contemporaries were sharply negative.

The Snow Maiden's pedigree is unclear and dark. It is impossible to say exactly when Snegurochka established herself as the “granddaughter” of Father Frost. Undoubtedly, the image of the Snow Maiden is a mutation and transformation of many pre-Christian beliefs, myths and customs. First of all, this applies to such holidays as Maslenitsa, Krasnaya Gorka, when the villagers called for spring, Yarilino Gulbishche, and the funeral of Kostroma. Russian Orthodoxy has absorbed many pagan ideas. Thus, the Orthodox holiday of the Trinity, celebrated as the day of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles, in Rus' merged with the ancient Slavic holiday of Semik, associated with the veneration of the spirits of vegetation.

The most famous literary work about the Snow Maiden is the play of the same name by A.N. Ostrovsky, written in 1873. In the drama “The Snow Maiden” (the writer defined its genre as a “spring fairy tale”) A.N. Ostrovsky makes an attempt to touch the deep roots of Russian and Slavic culture, to learn the secrets of folk mythology. The work “The Snow Maiden” is an amazing fairy tale that shows the beauty of the surrounding world, love, nature, and youth.

It is not surprising that the theatrical production of The Snow Maiden by the Moscow Maly Theater (May 11, 1873) actually failed. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century did the dramatic plan of A.N. Ostrovsky was appreciated. A.P. Lensky, who staged The Snow Maiden in September 1900 in Moscow, noted: “Ostrovsky would have had more than enough imagination to fill his fairy tale to the brim with native devilry. But he, apparently, deliberately saved the fantastic elements, saved in order not to overshadow the enchantment of another, more complex element - the poetic one.”

In 1873, music for the “spring tale” by A.N. Ostrovsky's "Snow Maiden" was written by P.I. Tchaikovsky (1840-1893). Responses to the musical accompaniment of the play were mixed. A certain P. Akilov in “Theater Notes” noted that the music for “The Snow Maiden” is monotonous “to the point of putting you to sleep.” Perhaps this impression was contributed by the disgusting performance of the musical numbers by the orchestra under the direction of I.O. Shramek. Sunny music for the spring fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky cannot but evoke positive emotions. It is no coincidence that P.I. Tchaikovsky defined his plan as follows: “A joyful, spring mood should be noticeable in this music.”

The opera was composed in the summer of 1880 in a remote Russian village. The composer later said that not a single work was given to him with such ease and speed as “The Snow Maiden”. In 1881 the opera was completed. The premiere, which took place on January 29 (February 10) next year on the stage of the Mariinsky Theater, was a great success. A. N. Ostrovsky also enthusiastically accepted the opera: “The music for my “Snow Maiden” is amazing, I could never imagine anything more suitable for it and so vividly expressing all the poetry of the Russian pagan cult and this first snow-cold, and then uncontrollably passionate fairy tale heroines."

It must be said that Kadochnikov took the creation of this film fairy tale very seriously, for in his youth (long before The Scout’s Feat) he played the role of Lel in the theater. That is why, apparently, for this role in his film he chose not a feminine bunny boy, but E. Zharikov, who was a priori tailored for something heroic, for example, for the role of a police chief in the TV series “Born of the Revolution.”

The work of A.N. Ostrovsky revolutionized the Russian theater. Already his first plays showed on stage a world that was perfectly familiar to the playwright himself, but completely unknown to readers and spectators of the mid-19th century. The dramaturgy of Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky marked the most important stage in the development of the Russian national theater. As a playwright and director, Ostrovsky contributed to the formation of a new school of realistic acting.
The poetic fairy tale “Snow Maiden” stands apartamong a number of other works
Ostrovsky. In other plays Ostrovsky draws
gloomy pictures of the merchant environment, criticizes
harsh morals and shows all the tragedy of a lonely
soul forced to exist in conditions
"dark kingdom" The work “Snow Maiden” is
an amazing fairy tale in which
shows the beauty of the surrounding world,
love, nature, youth.
The work is based on folk
fairy tales, songs, stories and legends.
Ostrovsky only combined fairy tales,
legends and songs came together and gave
folk art is very
peculiar coloring. IN
“The Snow Maiden” takes the main place
human relations. For the first
look, the plot looks perfect
fantastic. But then it turns out
what's in this fiction
live human beings are visible
characters. The action takes place in a fabulous place
- the kingdom of Berendey. Describing laws
of this country, Ostrovsky seems to paint
your ideal of social order.
In the kingdom of Berendey people live according to
laws of conscience and honor, they try not to
cause the wrath of the gods. It's very big here
importance is attached to beauty. Appreciated
beauty of the surrounding world, beauty
girls, flowers, songs. Tsar Berendey himself symbolizes folk wisdom. He lived in the world
quite a lot, so he knows a lot. The king is worried about his people, he
It seems that something evil appears in the hearts of people:
In the hearts of people I noticed that I was cooling
Considerable; fervor of love
I haven’t seen the Berendeys for a long time.
The service of beauty has disappeared in them;
I don’t see the youth’s eyes,
Moistened with enchanting passion;
I don’t see maidens who are thoughtful, deeply
Sighing. On the eyes with wisps
There is no sublime melancholy of love,
But we see completely different passions:
Vanity, envy of other people's outfits
And so on. What values does Tsar Berendey think about?
He is not worried about money and power. He
cares about their hearts and souls
subjects. Drawing the king exactly like this,
Ostrovsky wants to show the ideal
picture of a fairy-tale society. Only in
in a fairy tale people can be so kind
noble and honest. And that's the intention
writer in the depiction of a fairy tale
ideal reality warms the soul
makes the reader think about
beautiful and sublime. Indeed, the fairy tale “The Snow Maiden” is read with enthusiasm
any age. And after reading it, a thought appears
about the value of such human qualities as spiritual
beauty, loyalty and love. Ostrovsky in many of his
works speaks of love.
But in “The Snow Maiden” the conversation is completely
in a special way. In the form of a fairy tale
the reader is presented with great truths about
the enduring value of love. The ideal kingdom of the Berendeys lives so happily precisely because
that knows how to appreciate love. That is why the gods are so merciful to
Berendeyam. And it’s worth breaking the law, offending a great feeling
love for something terrible to happen.
I've been living for a long time, and the old order
Quite well known to me. Berendey,
Beloved by the gods, they lived honestly.
Without fear, we entrusted our daughter to the guy,
A wreath for us is a guarantee of their love
And loyalty to death. And never once
The wreath was not desecrated by treason,
And the girls knew no deception,
They knew no resentment. It’s no coincidence that Mizgir’s betrayal to Kupava resonated so painfully
in everyone around. Everyone accepted the ignoble
guy's behavior as a personal insult:
...It's a shame for everyone,
Offense to all Berendey girls! In the kingdom between people for a long time
A simple but beautiful relationship develops.
The deceived girl Kupava first of all turns to
to the protector king with a request to punish the culprit
grief. And having learned all the details from Kupava and
surrounding, the king pronounces his verdict: guilty
must be punished. What punishment does the king choose?
He orders Mizgir to be driven out of sight. Exactly at
in exile the Berendeys see the most terrible punishment
for a guilty person.
There are no bloody laws in the kingdom. This could happen
only in a fairy tale created by imagination
writer. And this humanity makes the kingdom of the Berendeys
even more beautiful and pure. The figure of the Snow Maiden is remarkable. She's absolutely
not like everyone else around me. Snow Maiden - fabulous
character. She is the daughter of Frost and Spring.
That is why the Snow Maiden is a very
contradictory. In her heart the cold is her legacy

The Snow Maiden lives in the wilderness of the forest, and her tower
diligently guarded by a stern father. But, as it turned out,

genuine admiration for human joys. Cold heart

nevertheless, she is already attracted, attracted by the fascinating world of people.
The girl realizes that she can no longer remain in the kingdom of ice and

in the kingdom of the Berendeys. She says to her mother:

Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky “Snow Maiden”
In 1873, A.N. Ostrovsky, influenced by Afanasyev’s ideas, wrote the play “The Snow Maiden”.
“The Snow Maiden” The work “The Snow Maiden” is an amazing fairy tale that shows the beauty of the surrounding world, love, nature, youth. The work is based on folk tales, songs, traditions and legends. Ostrovsky only combined fairy tales, legends and songs together and gave folk art a very unique flavor. In “The Snow Maiden” the main place is occupied by human relationships. At first glance, the plot looks absolutely fantastic. But then it turns out that living human characters are visible in this phantasmagoria.
The action takes place in a fabulous place - the kingdom of Berendey. Describing the laws of this country, Ostrovsky seems to paint his ideal of social order. In the kingdom of Berendey, people live according to the laws of conscience and honor, trying not to provoke the wrath of the gods. Beauty is very important here. The beauty of the surrounding world, the beauty of girls, flowers, songs are appreciated. It is no coincidence that the singer of love Lel turns out to be so popular. He seems to personify youth, ardor, ardor.
Tsar Berendey himself symbolizes folk wisdom. He has lived a long time in the world, so he knows a lot. The Tsar is worried about his people; it seems to him that something evil is appearing in the hearts of people. Berendey is not worried about money and power. He cares for the hearts and souls of his subjects. By painting the Tsar this way, Ostrovsky wants to show an ideal picture of a fairy-tale society. Only in a fairy tale can people be so kind, noble and honest. And this intention of the writer in depicting a fabulous ideal reality warms the reader’s soul, makes him think about the beautiful and sublime.
In the kingdom, simple but beautiful relationships have been developing between people for a long time. The deceived girl Kupava first of all turns to the tsar-protector with a request to punish the culprit of her grief. And having learned all the details from Kupava and those around him, the king makes his verdict: the culprit must be punished. He orders Mizgir to be driven out of sight. It is in exile that the Berendeys see the most terrible punishment for a guilty person. Honest people, his guilt is worthy of the death penalty; but in our Bloody code there are no laws; let the gods execute him according to the crime, and we condemn Mizgir to eternal exile by the people's court.
The figure of the Snow Maiden is remarkable. She is completely different from everyone around her. The Snow Maiden is a fairy-tale character. She is the daughter of Frost and Spring. That is why the Snow Maiden is a very contradictory creature. The coldness in her heart is the legacy of her father, the stern and gloomy Frost. For a long time, the Snow Maiden lives in the wilderness of the forest, and her mansion is carefully guarded by her stern father. But, as it turned out, the Snow Maiden resembles not only her father, but also her mother, the beautiful and kind Spring. That is why she was tired of living alone, locked up. She wants to see real human life, experience all its beauty, take part in girlish fun, listen to the wonderful songs of the shepherd Lelya. “Life is not a joy without songs.” The way the Snow Maiden describes human life shows her genuine admiration for human joys. The cold heart of the fairy-tale girl does not yet know love and human feelings, but nevertheless she is already beckoned and attracted by the bewitching world of people. The girl realizes that she can no longer remain in the kingdom of ice and snow. She wants to find happiness, and perhaps this, in her opinion, only in the kingdom of the Berendeys.
Shepherd Lel rejects the Snow Maiden, and she decides to beg her mother for ardent love. The kind that burns the human heart, makes you forget about everything in the world: The Snow Maiden is deceived, offended, killed. O mother, Red Spring! I run to you with a complaint and a request: I ask for love, I want to love. Give the Snow Maiden your girl's heart, mom! Give me my love or take my life!
Spring gives her daughter a feeling of love, but this gift can be disastrous for the Snow Maiden. Spring is tormented by heavy forebodings, because the Snow Maiden is her daughter. Love turns out to be tragic for the heroine.
The Snow Maiden in love becomes surprisingly touching. A whole world opens up for her, completely unknown to her before. Now she understands all those who experience love languor. She answers Mizgir by agreeing to become his wife. But Mizgir is not able to give up his intention to appear before all the Berendeys with his bride, considering the beauty’s fears a whim. The first bright rays of the sun kill the Snow Maiden.
Mizgir cannot accept the death of his beloved, so he throws himself from a high mountain. But the death of the Snow Maiden seems to the Berendeys to be something natural. The Snow Maiden was alien to the warmth of her soul, so it was difficult for her to find her happiness among people.
The literary and aesthetic principles in A.N. Ostrovsky’s drama “The Snow Maiden,” while remaining common to the playwright’s entire work, acquire a unique originality in the “spring fairy tale,” which made it possible to combine in the work the solution to the most important psychological problems of the time with the entertainment of a fairy-tale work.
One of the original features of the artistic method of “The Snow Maiden” is the combination of paintings of real life with fairy tales and fantasy, the poetry of nature with the dramaturgy of eternal human feelings and passions. In creating characters, the playwright boldly combines romantic and realistic techniques. Thanks to this special character of the typification of images, Ostrovsky not only achieves the reality and concreteness of the images of fairy-tale heroes, but also translates the fairy-tale conflict into a psychological plane, which allowed the playwright to raise the question of human moral ideas. Thus, in “The Snow Maiden” the same conflict turns out to be central as in Ostrovsky’s everyday plays, only it is resolved not in a concrete everyday, but in a generalized symbolic plane.
In accordance with his ideas about artistry, wanting to give the Russian theater an ideological, moral, highly artistic holiday repertoire, Ostrovsky creates a new unique genre - the “spring fairy tale”, which combines elements of already known genres - the fantastic nature of the extravaganza, the symbolism of the “mask play”, irony Comedy, entertainment and at the same time the deep content of a folk tale.
A.N. Ostrovsky’s appeal to the fairy tale genre is not accidental. The playwright does not simply retell the fairy tale, but, by deeply processing the fairy-tale material, attracting other genres of oral folk art (ritual poetry, folk song, legend), subordinates the fairy tale to solving topical problems.
“The Snow Maiden” is a poetic picture of the inner world of A.N. Ostrovsky and the world of his heroes in a subjective and lyrical refraction. In the “Spring Tale,” Ostrovsky’s aesthetic ideal appeared directly and openly in the form of the creation of Berendey’s kingdom. The fairy-tale nature of the play, the lack of political specifics and the proximity to folk utopian legends, fairy tales, in contrast to many utopias characterized by a high degree of theorizing and providing a concrete solution to the problems of the political and social structure of an ideal country, allow us to speak about the expression of the playwright’s aesthetic ideal in “The Snow Maiden”.

The harmony of the eternal and harsh laws of nature, according to which human existence must proceed, is indestructible.
The reason for all the misfortunes of the land of the Berendeys is
in human selfishness, in the loss of human kinship,
in the loss of love and sense of beauty:
In the hearts of people I noticed that I was cooling
Considerable; fervor of love
I haven’t seen the Berendeys for a long time,
The service of beauty has disappeared in them.

And Berendey’s final words:
“Let us banish the last trace of cold from our souls and turn to the Sun” reveal the ideological basis of the entire play; they express Ostrovsky’s dream of a world free from cold, calculating people.
The playwright affirms the human right to a full spiritual life, expresses the dream of creating new forms of relationships between people, and freedom in love, its high appreciation, recognition of the best moral qualities that ennoble a person, is a significant condition for the creation of a happy state.

- “The Snow Maiden” by A.N Ostrovsky, created for a festive performance and intended for a democratic viewer, is of great interest. This “multi-layered, multi-level work”, which contained a folk tale, an idea of the ancient Berendey tribe(Turkic nomads who lived in the southern Russian steppes (XI-XIII centuries); from 1146 they became vassals of Russian princes. The name in the chronicles disappears by the 13th century) , ancient calendar rituals, songs, spells.

- The poetic drama was based on one of eternal stories of Russian folklore about how a beautiful girl, the Snow Maiden, comes into the world and dies from a ray of sunshine. And the closest source was the folk tale about the Snow Maiden, published in 1862 by the collector I.A. Khudyakov. The playwright very carefully read the work of the famous mythologist and folklorist A.N. Afanasyev: collection “Russian folk tales” (1826-1871) and study “Poetic views of the Slavs on nature” (1865-1869). The “borrowed” plot was just a reason for the birth original artistic design.

Here the images of Slavic paganism come to life: Spring-Red, Sun-Yarilo, Leshy, Lel (the son of the goddess of beauty and love Lada, the same as the Greek Eros or Roman Cupid), Father Frost (is the prototype of Veles, Studenets, Treskun, Morozko), Snow Maiden (Goddess of love Lada or Kastroma). Fairy-tale creatures communicate with real people: Mizgirem (spider, tarantula), Kupava ( « water lily, flower bud" (V.I. Dal)) The Berendeys perform their spring rituals, sing folk songs - “the same ones that may have once sounded on our land during the time of spring games, in distant pagan times.”

B.V. Asafiev wrote about “The Snow Maiden”: “The inspiration of Rimsky-Korsakov glows with an even light, but at other moments the music deepens to comprehend only the audible secrets and origins of life, about which the word, being bound by reality, involuntarily MUST be silent... It seems , the opera sounds all the mighty elements of Russian nature, the spirits and forces of which are an integral part of life and the people themselves - the inhabitants of the Berendey kingdom"
“In the winter of 1879-1880, I read The Snow Maiden and definitely saw its amazing beauty. I immediately wanted to write an opera based on this plot; I felt more and more in love with A.N. Ostrovsky’s fairy tale.”
