K. G. Paustovsky

I really like Gogol’s statement about the Russian language, since with his brightest speech he seems to illustrate his words:
You marvel at the preciousness of our language: every sound is a gift: everything is grainy, large, like the pearl itself, and, truly, another name is even more precious than the thing itself. N.V. Gogol

Many great people worried that the Russian language was becoming clogged with foreign words: Pushkin, Turgenev, Lenin, Belinsky.
Our beautiful language, under the pen of uneducated and inexperienced writers, is rapidly declining. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates. Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes at the will of one and all.
A. S. Pushkin

And here is another subtle remark of A. Tolstoy:
What is language? First of all, it is not only a way to express your thoughts, but also to create your thoughts. Language has the opposite effect. A person who turns his thoughts, his ideas, his feelings into language... he is also, as it were, permeated by this way of expression.
A. N. Tolstoy

The Russian language is rightfully considered one of the richest languages ​​in the world. Our selection of quotes includes statements and reflections of the great Russian classics of literature about the originality and greatness of the Russian language.

A.I.Kuprin

Russian language! For millennia, the people created this flexible, lush, inexhaustibly rich, intelligent poetic... instrument of their social life, their thoughts, their feelings, their hopes, their anger, their great future... With a wondrous ligature the people wove the invisible network of the Russian language: bright, like a rainbow after the spring rain, accurate as arrows, sincere, like a song over a cradle, melodious... The dense world, over which he threw the magic net of words, submitted to him like a bridled horse.

N.V. Gogol

May there be honor and glory to our language, which in its very native richness, almost without any foreign admixture, flows like a proud majestic river - it makes noise and thunders - and suddenly, if necessary, softens, gurgles like a gentle brook and sweetly pours into the soul, forming everything measures that consist only in the fall and rise of the human voice!

N.M. Karamzin

Our beautiful language, under the pen of unlearned and unskilled writers, is quickly declining. Words are distorted. Grammar fluctuates. Spelling, this heraldry of the language, changes at the will of one and all.

A.P. Chekhov

Our Russian language, more than all the new ones, is perhaps capable of approaching the classical languages ​​in its richness, strength, freedom of arrangement, and abundance of forms.

N.A.Dobrolyubov

The main character of our language lies in the extreme ease with which everything is expressed in it - abstract thoughts, internal lyrical feelings, “the scurrying of life,” a cry of indignation, sparkling prank and amazing passion.

On the first page of your story, “lice” crawls in large numbers: those who worked, those who spoke, those who arrived. It is quite possible to do without insects.

The importance of the Russian language is difficult to overestimate, since it is not just a means of communication between people in Russia, but a real treasure of a nation with a rich history and extensive roots. Many famous writers praised the Russian style both in their works and in simple statements, which later became popular or turned into quotes about the Russian language. They are relevant to this day: not a single judgment about the speech of compatriot thinkers has lost its meaning. Statements about the Russian language by great people should be remembered when analyzing literary works.

In almost all the works of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev, the central position is occupied by the Russian people - their character, way of life, cultural and moral principles. In his novels, the writer paid special attention to describing the Russian mentality, his customs, and also often turned to descriptions of the nature of Rus'.

Turgenev became the first writer who received recognition not only within his homeland, but also abroad, as he traveled: Ivan Sergeevich spent especially a lot of time in French lands. The most popular works of Turgenev include “Notes of a Hunter”, “Asya”, “Fathers and Sons”.
The prose writer spoke a lot about the greatness of language, its special significance in public culture. The author notes:

The writer often called for protecting the Russian language as a huge value and the dignity of Russians, speaking about it practically as a living being:

Turgenev speaks of Russians with respectful reverence. In his opinion, language is one of the greatest riches in Russia, which must be treated with caution.

What Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin wrote about language

Kuprin, a master of landscape description, also spoke about speech. Literature lovers especially remember the writer for his works “The Garnet Bracelet,” “The Duel,” and “Moloch.” In his work, Kuprin pays great attention to detail, developing every character, every natural description, every animal so that every little thing acquires depth and meaning.

Kuprin is one of the writers with the most ambitious narrative style. The writer in his works often addresses the problems of love-hate, strength-weakness, despair and the will to live, combining opposite qualities simultaneously in a single hero.

Kuprin speaks about the language:

The writer speaks respectfully about linguistic culture, noting that the Russian language does not tolerate disparaging use:

Statements by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol

According to some critics and contemporaries of Gogol, Nikolai Vasilyevich became the discoverer of a new direction in the history of literature - the “natural school”. The writer influenced the work of many other authors who worked in satirical directions - Chernyshevsky, Nekrasov, Saltykov-Shchadrin. The most famous include Gogol’s works “Dead Souls”, “The Overcoat”, “The Inspector General”, “Notes of a Madman”.

Gogol turned to the topic of language following Pushkin. This idea was not the least important in all of his work. The writer fought to preserve the purity of the style, its originality, considering the Russian language euphonious and valuable:

Gogol compared Russian with other common foreign dialects, emphasizing its greatness and complexity:

Words by Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky

Belinsky is not so much a writer as a literary critic, recognized as one of the most demanding in terms of the quality of the works he analyzes. His activities were distinguished by a certain revolutionary orientation, since he considered their nationality to be the leading principle of the analysis of novels.

The critic was the first to divide all literature into ideal and real - the latter, in his opinion, reflected life as it is, while ideal gave an incorrect reflection of reality. Belinsky openly admired the works of Gogol, as well as Pushkin. One of Belinsky’s most ambitious essays can be considered a cycle of 11 articles on the works of A.S. Pushkin.

The critic loved speech and considered language to be self-sufficient and not subject to substitution:

The writer assessed the Russian language as rich:

Quotes from Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov

Lomonosov plays a key role in the development of linguistics and rhetoric in Rus', since it was he who created the “Russian Grammar”, where he introduced the concept of transcription of words, parts of speech, and spelling. Mikhail Vasilyevich was the first person to talk about stylistics and techniques of artistic expressiveness of speech.

Lomonosov was the first person to establish a clear distinction between secular and ecclesiastical dialects. The thinker studied the problems of Russian linguistics and stylistics almost all his life. In addition, Lomonosov paid a lot of attention to the study of Russian dialects characteristic of representatives of different localities and regions of Rus'.

What did Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin say about the Russian language?

Pushkin, “the sun of Russian poetry,” spoke similarly about the meaning of speech in Rus'. The poet made an invaluable contribution to the development of literature. The poet knew how to see the essence and mentality of different eras and nations, which made it possible to find the most psychologically accurate prototypes for them in his works.

Among the writer’s iconic works one can note the cycle of Belkin’s stories, the stories “The Station Agent”, “The Young Lady-Peasant Woman”. To this day, the works “The Queen of Spades”, “The Miserly Knight”, “Dubrovsky”, “The Gypsies”, “Eugene Onegin” are widespread and beloved.

Pushkin could not help but appreciate the importance of the Russian language, as well as its richness and grandeur. The poet knew many other dialects at the level of understanding, spoke fluent French, while describing Russian as the most extensive language of all known to him:

“As a material for literature, the Slavic-Russian language has an undeniable superiority over all European languages.”

The writer also noted the versatility of speech in Rus', using short but succinct phrases:

“The richer the language in expressions and turns of phrase, the better for a skilled writer.”

Pushkin became not only a world-famous writer, but also the founder of completely new trends in literature. The poet had a strong influence on the work of Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov. The writer’s work is known both in Russia and abroad.

Words by Maxim Gorky

Maxim Gorky significantly influenced the development of Russian literature during the revolutionary years. Through his novels, the writer managed to create a special mood of the working class associated with social transformations. Alexey Peshkov (the real name of the writer) was able to accurately reflect the mentality of the proletariat during the years of radical social changes.

The writer also became the founder of new children's literature, the main goal of which was to educate people with:

• an extensive knowledge base about the structure and functioning of the world;
• developed will;
• great abilities.

Among Gorky's popular fairy tales are “Samovar” and “Sparrow”.

Maxim Gorky could not help but appreciate the power of the Russian style, its importance for shaping a person’s worldview and view of reality. The writer noted that Russian is laconic but to the point:

“Our speech is predominantly aphoristic, distinguished by its conciseness and strength.”

Peshkov also spoke about the dynamics of the language - according to the writer, the Russian language has many prerequisites for expansion and development, its structure is being transformed and improved constantly, very quickly:

“The Russian language is inexhaustibly rich and everything is being enriched with amazing speed.”

Quotes from Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky

Paustovsky gained wide worldwide fame as an author capable of looking at the world from a lyrical point of view. The writer paid special attention to the description of high human ideals in his works, such as love, friendship, fidelity.

Paustovsky was noted by critics as a prose writer who loves and appreciates the nature of Rus'. Through landscape motifs, the author creates a special, unique atmosphere in his works, conveying moral ideas through abstract concepts.

Paustovsky is a children's author. The most famous works of the writer for children include the fairy tales “Hare’s Paws”, “The Thief Cat”, “Badger’s Nose”.
The prose writer could not help but admire the Russian style. Paustovsky noted its organic nature and diversity:

The writer drew attention to Russian punctuation, highlighting its special significance in the formation of written thought:

Quotes from Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov discovered his talent for writing in his first year of medical university. His studies played a decisive role in his entire literary activity - many of the heroes of Chekhov's stories were doctors.

In his stories and plays, the author raises problems of universal human values ​​- love, honor and freedom. At the same time, there is no idealization of reality in his work - all events are reflected as they actually appear. Chekhov succeeded in both prose and drama, which could not but affect his work: the prose acquired the laconicism, stagecraft and brevity characteristic of plays. Dramatic works used purely prosaic features, which gave the plays innovation.

A distinctive feature of Chekhov's works is their brevity - the writer's style is short, but precise and bright. The author himself noted the importance of such a quality as simplicity of speech:

“Beware of refined language. The language should be simple and elegant."

Chekhov was also attentive to the purity of language - the writer believed that the euphony of speech consists of the euphony of the pronunciation of the words themselves that make up the text:

“Ugly, dissonant words should be avoided. I don’t like words with a lot of hissing and whistling sounds, I avoid them.”

Among the most widespread works of Chekhov, in which one can trace the author’s speech style, are the plays “The Seagull”, “Anniversary”, “Wedding”, “Ivanov”, “The Bear” and “The Proposal”. The writer has published many stories in prose, for example, “Ward No. 6.”

Words by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky adhered to the ideas of realism in storytelling. The central theme of Dostoevsky's novels was the reflection of the life of a little man under the yoke of social reality. The writer’s creativity is psychological: Dostoevsky delves into the psychology of the people he reflects, trying to identify the motives of their behavior.

The author believes that a small person should not suffer from social changes, many of which put such people in a position of poverty. Dostoevsky often turned to spiritual philosophy, raising philosophical, anthropological, religious, ethical and historical problems of the era.

Among the writer’s iconic novels are the works “Crime and Punishment”, “Poor People”, “The Idiot”, “Teenager”, “The Brothers Karamazov” and “Demons”.

Dostoevsky considered learning a language, especially his native language, to be a very important aspect of human life. According to the writer, trying to learn foreign languages ​​is pointless until a person completely masters his own:

Great writers often turn to linguistic themes in their memoirs, essays, and novels. Their creativity is permeated with sincere love for their native language. The authors call for preserving the Russian language as an invaluable heritage, as well as an important aspect of culture. The statements of great people about the Russian language show the significance and importance of our native language.
