"Life lives": theme of death and immortality by Russian poets

The article explores one of the most important themes of Russian literature - the theme of death. This theme, like no other, brightly illuminates the Easter, Sunday-pleasing mood of the Russian people as its main mental state since the time of baptism, as a profound meaningful belief in the immortality of the soul, hope and hope for the merciful repenting sinners of God and a blissful life beyond the grave; at the same time an active love for earthly life, on the one hand, and a longing for eternal love, the light of heaven on the other; the courage of the people and their outstanding representatives to live and choose the life path according to the gospel doctrine.
