Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman is a world-renowned scholar, philologist and cultural critic whose works have been translated into all major European languages. His legacy is extremely extensive and includes about eight hundred scientific and popular scientific articles and books. He was destined to become the head of an entire scientific school, which developed new methods of analyzing the artistic text, alien to the official Soviet literary studies. Like many prominent scholars, it was difficult for Lotman to remain within one scientific discipline: his research was devoted not only to the literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, but also to the history of Russian social thought, art theory, and cultural studies. At the end of the 1980s, he gave lectures on television on the life and traditions of the Russian nobility; the book "Conversations on Russian Culture" was based on the television series. The scientist's interest in this topic was organically connected with the study of works of Russian literature of the first third of the XIX century. Thanks to Lotman, Pushkin's epoch is revealed to us not only through classical texts, but also through the realities of everyday life: the table of ranks, home education, a high society ball, a duel, a card game, and others. The variety of documentary sources, the breadth of generalizations and accessibility of the presentation - these qualities invariably characterize Lotman's studies, which are still popular not only among specialists, but also with a wide readership.
