Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman is a world-famous scientist, philologist and culturologist, whose works have been translated into all major European languages. His legacy is extremely extensive and includes about eight hundred scientific and popular science articles and books. He was destined to become the head of an entire scientific school that developed new methods of analyzing a literary text that were alien to official Soviet literary criticism. Like many outstanding scientists, it was difficult for Yu. M. Lotman to remain within the framework of one scientific discipline: his research was devoted not only to the literature of the 1980th and XNUMXth centuries, but also to the history of Russian social thought, art theory, and cultural studies. In the late XNUMXs, he lectured on television about the life and traditions of the Russian nobility, and the book "Conversations about Russian Culture" was created on the basis of the television cycle. The scientist's interest in this topic was organically connected with the study of works of Russian literature in the first third of the XNUMXth century. Thanks to Lotman, the Pushkin era is revealed to us not only through classical texts, but also through the realities of everyday life: a table of ranks, home education, a high society ball, a duel, a card game, etc. The variety of documentary sources involved, the breadth of generalizations and the accessibility of presentation are these qualities invariably characterize the studies of Yu. M. Lotman, which are still popular not only among specialists, but also among a wide readership.
