Abstract

The article reviews the sources of the modern Russian patriotism and retraces the stages of its forming in Russian literature according to historical, political and social events of the first half of the XIXth century. The authors of the article accentuate the patriotic theme in literary works by A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, N. Gogol, and analyse some texts of these writers. Topicality of these article’s theme is dictated with erroneous understanding the causes of the Russian victories in the Patriotic war of 1812 and the Great Patriotic War by foreign students.
