Demonstration versions of the Unified State Exam in mathematics for grade 11 for 2002-2009 included three sections: A (tasks with a choice of answers from several proposed ones), B (tasks with a short answer) and C (tasks for which it was necessary to provide a complete solution to the problem).
In 2010 from demo version of the Unified State Examination in mathematics multiple-choice tasks that previously comprised section A were excluded. Thus, demo version of the Unified State Exam began to consist of only two sections B and C.
Demo version of the Unified State Exam 2011 almost completely coincided with the demo version of the Unified State Exam 2010: only tasks C1 and C5 were changed.
In 2014 in demo version of the Unified State Exam in mathematics There were no thematic changes compared to the previous year: tasks B3, B9, B14, C2 and C4 were replaced by other tasks of the same topic. In addition, a basic difficulty level short answer task was added, testing practical skills in applying mathematics in everyday life, and the order of the tasks was changed.
In 2015, in order to conduct the Unified State Examination in mathematics, major changes: it was decided to carry out two separate exams – basic level And profile level.
In this regard, in 2015 it was presented 2 demo options: new model demo version for Basic level Unified State Exam And upgraded 2014 demo model for USE profile level.
Demo version for the basic level Unified State Examination contained only basic level tasks difficulty with a short answer ( 20 tasks). In demo version was presented by several examples of tasks for each position examination work. In real cases examination paper for each position was proposed only one task.
Demo version of the 2015 profile exam developed based on the demo version of the Unified State Examination in mathematics 2014 with the following changes:
- The option became consist of two parts(part 1 - short answer assignments, part 2 - short answer tasks and long answer tasks).
- Numbering tasks became through throughout the entire version without the letter designations B, C.
- In the second part 1 task added high level of complexity with a detailed answer, which tests practical skills in applying mathematics in everyday life, skills in constructing and researching mathematical models.
- From the first part 1 task of basic difficulty level excluded.
- Minor changes have been made to the form and subject matter of tasks 16 and 17
IN there were no changes to the demo version of the Unified State Exam in mathematics at the basic level in 2016.
IN demo version of the Unified State Examination in mathematics at the profile level 2016 the following changes have occurred:
- From the first part option two tasks were excluded: practical content assignment basic level of difficulty and stereometry assignment increased level of complexity.
- Maximum Primary Score for doing all the work reduced from 34 to 32 points.
IN demo versions of the Unified State Examination in mathematics 2017 - 2020 both the basic level and the profile level, compared with demo versions of the Unified State Examination in mathematics 2016 there were no changes.

Analysis of a demo version of control measuring materials for the Unified State Exam in Literature in 2019
The examination paper on literature consists of two parts and includes 17 tasks. Part 1 includes two sets of tasks. The first set of tasks relates to a fragment of an epic, or lyric epic, or dramatic work: 7 tasks with a short answer (1–7) and 2 tasks with a detailed answer in the amount of 5–10 sentences (8, 9).
The second set of tasks relates to the analysis of a lyrical work: 5 tasks with a short answer (10–14) and 2 tasks with a detailed answer in the amount of 5–10 sentences (15, 16). Answers to tasks 1–7 and 10–14 are written according to the samples below in the form of a word, or phrase, or sequence of numbers. Answers are written in the answer field in the text of the work without spaces, commas and other additional characters, and then transferred to answer form No. 1.
Part 2 includes 4 tasks (17.1–17.4), from which you need to choose only ONE and give a detailed, reasoned answer to it in the genre of an essay on a literary topic of at least 200 words.
Read the fragment of the work below and complete tasks 1–9.
“Here we are at home,” said Nikolai Petrovich, taking off his cap and shaking his hair. “The main thing is now to have dinner and rest.”
“It’s really not bad to eat,” Bazarov remarked, stretching, and sank onto the sofa.
- Yes, yes, let's have dinner, have dinner quickly. – Nikolai Petrovich stamped his feet for no apparent reason. - By the way, Prokofich.
A man of about sixty entered, white-haired, thin and dark, wearing a brown tailcoat with copper buttons and a pink scarf around his neck. He grinned, walked up to Arkady’s handle and, bowing to the guest, retreated to the door and put his hands behind his back.
“Here he is, Prokofich,” began Nikolai Petrovich, “he has finally come to us... What? how do you find it?
“In the best possible way, sir,” said the old man and grinned again, but immediately frowned his thick eyebrows. – Would you like to set the table? - he said impressively.
- Yes, yes, please. But won’t you go to your room first, Evgeny Vasilich?
- No, thank you, there is no need. Just order my suitcase to be stolen there and these clothes,” he added, taking off his robe.
- Very good. Prokofich, take their overcoat. (Prokofich, as if in bewilderment, took Bazarov’s “clothes” with both hands and, raising it high above his head, walked away on tiptoe.) And you, Arkady, will you go to your room for a minute?
“Yes, we need to clean ourselves,” Arkady answered and was about to go to the door, but at that moment a man of average height, dressed in a dark English suit, a fashionable low tie and patent leather ankle boots, Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov, entered the living room. He looked about forty-five years old: his short-cropped gray hair shone with a dark shine, like new silver; his face, bilious, but without wrinkles, unusually regular and clean, as if carved with a thin and light incisor, showed traces of remarkable beauty; The light, black, oblong eyes were especially beautiful. The whole appearance of Arkady's uncle, graceful and thoroughbred, retained youthful harmony and that desire upward, away from the earth, which for the most part disappears after the twenties.
Pavel Petrovich took his beautiful hand with long pink nails from the pocket of his trousers - a hand that seemed even more beautiful from the snowy whiteness of the sleeve, fastened with a single large opal, and gave it to his nephew. Having previously performed the European “shakehands,” he kissed him three times, in Russian, that is, touched his cheeks with his fragrant mustache three times, and said: “Welcome.” Nikolai Petrovich introduced him to Bazarov: Pavel Petrovich slightly tilted his flexible figure and smiled slightly, but did not offer his hand and even put it back in his pocket.
“I already thought that you wouldn’t come today,” he spoke in a pleasant voice, swaying courteously, twitching his shoulders and showing his beautiful white teeth. - Did something happen on the road?
“Nothing happened,” answered Arkady, “so, we hesitated a little.”
(I.S. Turgenev, “Fathers and Sons”)
Analysis of the results of the Unified State Exam in literature shows that difficulties arise when completing tasks that require knowledge of the content of works of fiction (names of characters, names of places of events, significant details, etc.), as well as tasks to establish various correspondences: between characters and their characteristics , authors and titles of their works, characters and their remarks. This is explained by insufficient attention to the literary text itself when preparing for the exam. Often, schoolchildren try to replace reading the full text of a literary work with materials containing general information about its plot and poetics or a condensed retelling, as well as by turning to film adaptations and theatrical productions.
Therefore, when preparing for the Unified State Exam in literature, it is necessary to focus on basic knowledge about a literary work, relating to:
- Genre variety and generic affiliation of the work.
- The presence of epigraphs and dedications.
- The affiliation of a work to a specific literary movement.
- Arrangements of images in the storyline.
- Features of the conflict of the work, the main theme and idea of the work.
Ultimately, students' reading of literary works should be aimed at building a system of character images. It is necessary to be able to navigate the characters, the peculiarities of their interaction with each other, and identify conflict situations, since they are the ones who determine the problems of a work of art.
Exercise 1
What genre does the work of I.S. belong to? Turgenev "Fathers and Sons"?
Analysis of the task
This task requires updating such literary concepts as types and genres of literature.
Literary works can be divided into three types - epic, lyric and drama. The division into genders is due to different approaches to depicting the world and man: epic objectively depicts man, lyricism is characterized by subjectivity, and drama depicts man in action, with the author’s speech having an auxiliary role.
Epic (in Greek means narrative, story) is a narration about events in the past, focused on an object, on the image of the external world. The main features of the epic as a literary genre are events and actions as the subject of depiction (eventfulness). In an epic, an impartial, objective narrator or storyteller plays an important role. Sometimes the narrator tells the story from the words of the narrator.
Lyrics (from the Greek lyra - a musical instrument to the sound of which poems and songs were performed), in contrast to epic and drama, which depict complete characters acting in various circumstances, depicts the individual states of the hero at individual moments of his life. The lyrics depict the inner world of the individual in its formation and change of impressions, moods, and associations.
Drama depicts a person in action, in a conflict situation, but there is no detailed narrative-descriptive image in the drama. Its main text is a chain of statements by characters, their remarks and monologues. Most dramas are built on external action, which is associated with confrontation, the confrontation of heroes. But internal action can also predominate (the characters do not so much act as they experience and reflect, as in the plays of Chekhov and Gorky). Dramatic works, like epic works, depict events, the actions of people and their relationships, but drama lacks a narrator and descriptive depiction. The main text of a dramatic work consists of monologues and dialogues of characters that create the illusion of the present time.
Thus, the epic tells, consolidates external reality, events and facts in words, drama does the same, but not on behalf of the author, but in direct conversation, dialogue between the characters themselves, while lyricism focuses its attention not on the external, but on the internal world.
The division into genera is the first division in the classification of literary works. The next step is to divide each type into genres. Genre is a historically established type of literary work. Genres are: epic (novel, story, short story, essay, parable), lyrical (lyric poem, elegy, message, epigram, ode, sonnet) and dramatic (comedy, tragedy, drama). Finally, genres usually receive further divisions (for example, domestic novel, adventure novel, psychological novel, etc.). In addition, all genres are usually divided by volume into large (novel, epic), medium (story, poem) and small (short story, short story, essay).
Epic genres
Novel(from French romanorconteroman - a story in the Romance language) - a large form of the epic genre, a multi-issue work depicting a person in the process of his formation and development. The action in a novel is always full of external or internal conflicts, or both. Events in the novel are not always described sequentially; sometimes the author breaks the chronological sequence (“Hero of Our Time” by Lermontov).
Novels can be divided by theme (historical, autobiographical, adventure, satirical, fantastic, philosophical, etc.) and by structure (novel in verse, novel-pamphlet, novel-parable, novel-feuilleton, epistolary novel and others ).
Epic novel(from the Greek epopiia - a collection of legends) - a novel with a broad depiction of folk life in critical historical eras. For example, “War and Peace” by Tolstoy, “Quiet Don” by Sholokhov.
Tale- an epic work of medium or large form, constructed in the form of a narrative about events in their natural sequence. Sometimes a story is defined as an epic work, a cross between a novel and a short story - it is larger than a story, but smaller than a novel in terms of volume and number of characters. But the boundary between a story and a novel should be sought not in their volume, but in the features of composition. Unlike a novel, which tends toward an action-packed composition, the story presents the material chronically. In it, the artist does not get carried away with reflections, memories, details of the analysis of the feelings of the characters, unless they are strictly subordinated to the main action of the work. The story does not pose problems of a global historical nature.
Story- small epic prose form, a small work with a limited number of characters (most often the story is about one or two heroes). A story usually poses one problem and describes one event. For example, in Turgenev’s story “Mumu” the main event is the story of Gerasim’s acquisition and loss of a dog. A short story differs from a short story only in that it always has an unexpected ending (OTenry’s “The Gift of the Magi”), although in general the boundaries between these two genres are very arbitrary.
Feature article- small epic prose form, one of the types of short stories. The essay is more descriptive and touches mainly on social problems.
Parable- small epic prose form, moral teaching in allegorical form. A parable differs from a fable in that it draws its artistic material from human life (Gospel parables, Solomon's parables).
Lyrical genres
Lyric poem- a small genre form of lyrics, written either on behalf of the author (“I loved you” by Pushkin) or on behalf of a fictional lyrical hero (“I was killed near Rzhev...” by Tvardovsky).
Elegy(from the Greek elegos - plaintive song) - a small lyrical form, a poem imbued with a mood of sadness and sadness. As a rule, the content of elegies consists of philosophical reflections, sad thoughts, and grief.
Message(from the Greek epistole - letter) - a small lyrical form, a poetic letter addressed to a person. According to the content of the message, there are friendly, lyrical, satirical, etc. The message can be addressed to one specific person or group of people.
Epigram(from the Greek epigramma - inscription) - a small lyrical form, a poem ridiculing a specific person. The emotional range of the epigram is very wide - from friendly ridicule to angry denunciation. Characteristic features are wit and brevity.
Oh yeah(from the Greek ode - song) - a small lyrical form, a poem, distinguished by the solemnity of style and sublimity of content.
Sonnet(from the Italian soneto - song) - a small lyrical form, a poem, usually consisting of fourteen verses.
Poem(from the Greek poiema - creation) - a medium lyro-epic form, a work with a plot-narrative organization, in which not one, but a whole series of experiences are embodied. The poem combines the features of two literary genres - lyricism and epic. The main features of this genre are the presence of a detailed plot and, at the same time, close attention to the inner world of the lyrical hero.
Ballad (from the Italian ballada - to dance) is a medium lyric-epic form, a work with a tense, unusual plot, a story in verse.
Dramatic genres
Comedy(from the Greek homos - cheerful procession and ode - song) - a type of drama in which characters, situations and actions are presented in funny forms or imbued with the comic. In terms of genre, there are satirical comedies (“The Minor” by Fovizin, “The Inspector General” by Gogol), high comedy (“Woe from Wit” by Griboyedov), and lyrical (“The Cherry Orchard” by Chekhov).
Tragedy(from the Greek tragodia - goat song) - a type of drama, a work based on an irreconcilable conflict in life, leading to the suffering and death of the heroes. For example, Shakespeare's play Hamlet belongs to the tragedy genre.
Drama- a play with an acute conflict, which, unlike the tragic one, is not so sublime, more mundane, ordinary and can be resolved one way or another. The specificity of the drama lies, firstly, in the fact that it is based on modern, not ancient material, and secondly, the drama establishes a new hero who rebels against circumstances.
The generic affiliation of a work is easier to determine than its genre. If we take into account the volume of the work, then “Fathers and Sons” can be called a story, since this work is smaller in volume than the novel “Oblomov” by Goncharova, and “Crime and Punishment” by Dostoevsky.
This means that it is not the volume, but other features of this work that allow us to classify it as a novel. This is, first of all, a pressing issue. Despite the fact that Turgenev himself, at the beginning of his work, called his work a story: “...I began to work little by little; I conceived a new big story - will something come out?..” (letter from I. A. Turgenev to Countess E. E. Lambert, August 6 (18), 1860).”
What is the difference between a novel and a story?
The novel reflects social and historical events, and in the story they serve only as a background for the narrative. The life of the characters in the novel is presented in a socio-psychological or historical context. And in a story, the image of the main character can only be revealed in certain circumstances. The novel has one main plot and several minor ones, which form a complex structure. The story in this regard is much simpler and is not complicated by additional plot lines. The action of the novel takes place in a large time period, and the story - in a very limited one. The novel's problems include a large number of issues, but the story touches on only a few of them. The heroes of the novel express ideological and social ideas, and in the story the inner world of the character and his personal qualities are important.
Answer: novel.
Task 2
What is the name of the ideology of complete denial of generally accepted values, cultivated by Bazarov and Arkady Kirsanov?
Analysis of the task
To correctly answer questions of this type, you need to have a good knowledge of the text of the literary work and its main issues.
The features of this ideology (nihilism) are manifested in the behavior of the heroes, in the way Bazarov and Arkady Kirsanov position themselves.
In Russian literature, the word “nihilism” was first used by N. I. Nadezhdin in the article “Host of Nihilists” (magazine “Bulletin of Europe”, 1829)
It became popular after I. S. Turgenev, in the novel “Fathers and Sons” (1862), called Bazarov a “nihilist,” who denied the views of the “fathers.” The enormous impression made by the novel “Fathers and Sons” also made the term “nihilist” popular. In his memoirs, Turgenev said that when he returned to St. Petersburg after the publication of his novel - and this happened during the famous St. Petersburg fires of 1862 - the word “nihilist” was already picked up by many, and the first exclamation that escaped from the lips of his first acquaintance , met by Turgenev, was: “Look what your nihilists are doing: they are burning St. Petersburg!”
Answer: nihilism.
Task 3
Bazarov's internal and external democracy is in tune with the spirit of the era described by the author. Indicate the name of the leader of the thoughts of the revolutionary-democratic youth of those years - the literary critic to whose memory “Fathers and Sons” is dedicated.
Analysis of the task
I.S. Turgenev dedicated his novel “Fathers and Sons” to the memory of V.G. Belinsky.
The dedication of the novel to Belinsky caused even greater controversy in the press: there was not a single Russian magazine that responded to the publication of this work. The multidimensionality of Bazarov’s image was created precisely at a time when responses, assessments, reviews were “correlated” with that time and with the specific person to whom the novel was dedicated.
The novel “Fathers and Sons” was dedicated to V. G. Belinsky. The image of Bazarov is a collective one, so its probable prototypes include those public figures whom Turgenev considered “true deniers”: Bakunin, Herzen, Dobrolyubov, Speshnev and Belinsky. The novel “Fathers and Sons” is dedicated to the memory of the latter. The complexity and inconsistency of Bazarov’s views does not allow us to recognize any specific person as the source of the image: only Belinsky or only Dobrolyubov.
Answer: Belinsky.
Task 4
Establish a correspondence between the characters appearing in this fragment and the facts of their future fate: for each position in the first column, select the corresponding position from the second column.
Analysis of the task
This task tests knowledge of the text of the work and its plot lines. According to statistics, many more errors are made in this task than in answers to other questions.
Answer: A – 3, B – 4, C – 1.
Task 5
What is the name of a significant detail that is a means of artistic characterization (for example, Bazarov’s robe and Pavel Petrovich’s English suite noted by the author)?
Analysis of the task
A hint for completing this task is the word “detail.” Remember, if the word “detail” appears in a task, it means we are talking about an artistic detail.
A detail is an important and significant tool for constructing images; This is a detail that carries a huge ideological, emotional and semantic load. Not all writers used these elements masterfully. Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and other literary artists actively used them in their work.
There are several classifications of this element. For example, the domestic literary critic and philologist - Andrei Borisovich Esin, in his book “Literary Work”, identifies three large groups of details: psychological, descriptive, plot.
Answer: detail.
Task 6
The elder Kirsanov and Bazarov are opposed to each other from the first pages of the work. What is the name of the technique of sharp contrast used in a work of art?
Antithesis (from the Greek antithesis - opposition) is one of the stylistic figures: a turn of poetic speech in which, to enhance expressiveness, directly opposite concepts, thoughts, and character traits of the characters are sharply contrasted.
They got along. Wave and stone
Poetry and prose, ice and fire
Not so different from each other...
(A.S. Pushkin, Evgeny Onegin.)
Antithesis is a technique of opposition.
Answer: antithesis.
Task 7
“Fathers and Sons” figuratively and thematically echoes the famous work of I.A. Goncharov, named after the surname of the main character. Indicate the surnames of two Goncharov characters, one of whom is in some way internally close to Bazarov, and the other, like the elder Kirsanov, is his complete opposite.
Analysis of the task
A clue to the answer to this question is contained in its wording.
Answer: Oblomov and Stolz.
Task 8
How is the main conflict of the work outlined in this episode of Fathers and Sons?
When answering the question, it is necessary to show the place and role of the episode (scene) in the overall structure of the work (analysis of the fragment), reveal the plot-compositional, figurative-thematic and stylistic features of the analyzed text, generalize your observations with access to the literary context.
Memo to students
When preparing written answers to questions, do not forget the main thing:
- Answer the question asked, rather than write everything you know about the work.
- Don't forget that your analysis should be based on the proposed fragment of the work.
- Clarify all the concepts that make up this question. For example, “main conflict”. (the main conflict is the conflict between fathers and children, representatives of different generations). How, in what way does it manifest itself? (the conflict can manifest itself in dialogues, in actions, in an obvious clash of conflicting parties).
Based on the analysis of the assessment criteria for task 8, it is possible to formulate performance requirements for its implementation.
Maximum score– 6 points.
Example sample answer
In this scene, the conflict between Evgeny Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov is only emerging and is manifested primarily in the behavior of Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov, who did not shake hands with Bazarov, but hid it in his pocket, thereby demonstrating that he was unpleasant that Arkady brought a guest with him . This detail attracts the reader’s attention, since a scene earlier Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov, Pavel Petrovich’s brother, was the first to extend his hand to Bazarov as a sign of hospitality.
In the portrait of Pavel Petrovich, Turgenev emphasizes his breed and noble origin. The idea of Bazarov that we get from this fragment is exactly the opposite. “Just order my suitcase to be stolen there and these clothes,” he says to Nikolai Petrovich. Bazarov does not attach any importance to his appearance. He talks about his things in a humorous and derogatory manner.
Analyzing the above fragment, we can assume that when they met, the characters felt a personal dislike for each other, bordering on contempt. Subsequently, the conflict will worsen even more and go beyond personal dissatisfaction with each other.
Task 9
Which works of Russian classics depict the conflict between representatives of different generations, and in what ways can these works be compared with Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons”?
In this task, it is traditionally required to compare the analyzed work with other works of Russian classics. To compare means to compare in order to obtain some conclusions. By comparing, we can note both similarities and differences.
Algorithm for comparative analysis of works
- Find similarities between two texts at the level:
plot or motive;
figurative system;
vocabulary;
visual media;
syntactic constructions;
other parameters suggested by the texts themselves. - Find differences at the same levels.
Several characteristic conflicts are clearly expressed in literature: love, ideological, philosophical, social and everyday, symbolic, psychological, religious, military.
The conflict of generations can be everyday and unfold within the same family, as for example in Ostrovsky’s “The Thunderstorm”: Dikaya and Kabanov on the one hand; Boris, Katerina, Tikhon, Varvara, Kudryash - on the other. Dikoya and especially Kabanikh accuse the younger generation of lack of respect for elders. Real suffering is brought to Kabanikha by the thought that her children are living incorrectly, not following her example. Tikhon left, but Katerina “doesn’t howl for him.” Kabanikha sees neither support nor support in her children. In “Fathers and Sons” one can also give an example of a family conflict between Pavel Petrovich, Nikolai Petrovich and Fenechka. Nikolai Petrovich does not dare to marry the mother of his child, Fenechka, because of his brother. It seems to him that Pavel Petrovich would never approve of this. But this is not the main conflict of the novel.
The main contradiction is associated with such heroes as Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich, who enter into an argument with each other for ideological reasons.
A similar conflict is depicted in Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit.” Chatsky opposes himself to the entire Famus society. He openly criticizes the political system of Russia, the moral character of the nobles and landowners, accusing them of sycophancy and hypocrisy.
Bazarov and Chatsky are close in one thing: they do not see anything positive in the Russia of their “fathers.” “Without noticing about yourself, what’s older is worse,” Griboedov’s hero categorically declares in one of his monologues. I think that if Bazarov had not denied literature, then Chatsky’s words would have pleased him.
Requirements for completing task 9
- The first work is named and its author is indicated, the work is compared with the proposed text in a given direction of analysis, the author’s position is not distorted (2 points)
- The second work is named and its author is indicated, the work is compared with the proposed text in a given direction of analysis, the author’s position is not distorted (2 points)
- For argumentation, the texts of the two selected works are used at the level of analysis of fragments, images, micro-themes, details, etc. that are important for completing the task, there are no factual errors (4 points)

And I carefully carry my cross...
Which sorcerer do you want?
Give me your robber beauty!Let him lure and deceive, -
You won’t be lost, you won’t perish,
And only care will cloud
Your beautiful features...Well? One more concern -
The river is noisier with one tear,
And you are still the same - forest and field,
Yes, the patterned board goes up to the eyebrows...And the impossible is possible
The long road is easy
When the road flashes in the distance
An instant glance from under a scarf,
When it rings with guarded melancholy
The dull song of the coachman!..(A.A. Blok, 1908)

Analysis of the task
Updating knowledge in literary areas
A literary direction is an artistic method that forms general ideological and aesthetic principles in the work of many writers at a certain stage in the development of literature.
Classicism (from the Latin classicus - exemplary) is a literary movement of the 17th century. (in Russian literature - the beginning of the 18th century), which is characterized by the following features:
Perception of ancient art as a standard of creativity, a role model.
Raising reason into a cult, recognizing the priority of enlightened consciousness. The aesthetic ideal is a person endowed with high social and moral consciousness and noble feelings, capable of transforming life according to the laws of reason, subordinating feelings to reason.
Sentimentalism (from the French sentiment - feeling) is a literary movement of the second half of the 18th - early 19th centuries, which arose as a reaction to the rigid principles of classicism and recognizes the basis of human nature not reason, but feelings. Main features of sentimentalism:
The subject of the image is private life, movements of the soul, human experiences.
The leading genres are travel, novel (including novel in letters), diary, elegy, epistle.
Romanticism (French romantisme, English romanticism) is a literary movement of the late 18th - early 19th centuries, which is based on the author’s subjective position in relation to what is depicted, the author’s desire not so much to recreate the surrounding reality in his work, but to rethink it. Leading features of romanticism:
Perception of individual freedom as the highest value.
Perception of man as the greatest mystery, and the purpose of human life as the solution to this mystery.
Portrayal of an exceptional individual in exceptional circumstances.
Realism (from the Latin Realis - material) is a literary trend that arose at the beginning of the 19th century, following which the writer depicts life in accordance with objective reality, truthfully reproduces “typical characters in typical circumstances with fidelity to the details” (F. Engels). Realism is based on historical thinking - the ability to see historical perspectives, the interaction of the past, present and future, social analysis - the depiction of phenomena in their social conditioning, as well as social typification.
Symbolism (French symbollisme, Greek symbolon - sign, identifying mark) is a direction that opposes itself to realism; arose in the late 80s of the 19th century; The philosophical concept of symbolism is based on the idea of the unknowability of the world and man in a scientific, rational way and by means of realistic depiction:
The imperfect real world is just a weak reflection of the ideal world.
Acmeism (from the Greek acme - the highest degree of something, flourishing) is a literary movement of the 1910s, opposing symbolism, proclaiming the desire for “joyful admiration of being.” Principles of Acmeism:
Liberating poetry from symbolist appeals to the ideal, returning it to clarity;
Refusal of mystical nebula, acceptance of the earthly world in its diversity, concreteness, sonority, colorfulness.
Appeal to a person, to the “authenticity” of his feelings.
“Visibility”, objectivity and clarity of the artistic image, precision of details.
Simplicity and clarity of poetic language.
Futurism (from Latin futurum - future) is a literary movement of the early 20th century, characterized by a demonstrative break with traditional culture and the classical heritage; its main features:
Rebellious worldview.
An attempt to create “the art of the future”

(6) The water gurgled, tinkled, and gurgled. (7) These sounds filled the entire space between the river and the sky. (8) It was the cranes crowing.

(12) I dropped the oars and looked at the cranes for a long time.
(13) A few days before this meeting with the cranes, one magazine asked me to write an article about what a “masterpiece” is and talk about some literary masterpiece. (14) In other words, about a perfect and impeccable work. (15) I chose Lermontov's poems.
(16) Now on the river I thought that masterpieces exist not only in art, but also in nature. (17) Isn’t this clique of cranes and their majestic flight along airways that have remained unchanged for many millennia a masterpiece?
(18) What can I say! (19) Each autumn leaf was a masterpiece, the finest ingot of gold and bronze, sprinkled with cinnabar and niello. (20) Each leaf was a perfect creation of nature, a work of its mysterious art, inaccessible to us humans.
(21) In addition to poetic masterpieces, Lermontov also left us prosaic masterpieces, such as “Hero of Our Time.” (22) They are filled, like the poems, with the heat of his soul. (23) He complained that he had hopelessly wasted this heat in the great desert of his loneliness.

(27) One of the sure signs of masterpieces is that they remain to live in us for a long time, almost forever. (28) And we ourselves enrich them, as if we are thinking after the poet, completing what he did not finish.
(29) New thoughts, images, feelings crowd into my head. (30) Each line of verse flares up, just as every day the autumn flames of the vast forests across the river rage more intensely.
(31) Obviously, the property of a true masterpiece is to make us equal creators after its true creator.
(32) It is a common belief that there are few masterpieces. (33) On the contrary, we are surrounded by masterpieces. (34) We do not immediately notice how they brighten our lives, what continuous radiation emanates from them from century to century, gives rise to high aspirations in us and opens to us the greatest repository of treasures - our land.
(35) Every meeting with any masterpiece is a breakthrough into the brilliant world of human genius. (36) She causes amazement and joy.
(37) Masterpieces! (38) Masterpieces of brush and chisel, thought and imagination! (39) Masterpieces of poetry!
(40) Every masterpiece contains something that can never become familiar - the perfection of the human spirit, the power of human feeling, instant responsiveness to everything that surrounds us both outside and in our inner world. (41) The thirst to reach ever higher limits, the thirst for perfection drives life. (42) And gives birth to masterpieces.
(43) I am writing all this on an autumn night. (44) Autumn is not visible outside the window, it is filled with darkness. (45) But as soon as you go out onto the porch, autumn will surround you and begin to persistently breathe into your face the cold freshness of its mysterious black spaces, the bitter smell of the first thin ice, which bound the still waters by night, and will begin to whisper with the last leaves that fly continuously day and night . (46) And it will sparkle with the unexpected light of a star breaking through the wavy night fogs.
(47) And all this will seem to you a great masterpiece of nature, a healing gift, reminding you that life around you is full of significance and meaning.
