 "What fables did the nightingale poets feed
double-headed eagles, talks about this
famous philologist, professor of the Russian State University for the Humanities Andrey
Zorin.  Book "The Double-Headed Eagle Norm" with
subtitle "Literature and
state ideology in Russia in
last third of XVIII - first third of XIX
century" right now turned out to be very
timely.   Now it's clear that

Petrov's odes, message to the emperor
Zhukovsky, as well as tragedies and poems in
historical topics are the most interesting.

Rus'", "Holy Alliance", "Orthodoxy -
autocracy - nationality." We

"ideology" (by the way, the author quotes
several definitions of this word - from
"identity construction" to
"sociallynecessary misconceptions").
The search for a new ideology is inevitable, and
the ancient, imperial experience is just right here
by the way."
