About the author
Ivan Lazhechnikov
26 books2 followersIvan Ivanovich Lazhechnikov (Russian: Иван Иванович Лажечников; September 25, 1792 – July 8, 1869) was a Russian writer.
Lazhechnikov was born into the family of a rich merchant in Kolomna in 1792. He received a well-rounded education from private tutors at home. He served in the active army in 1813–15, which inspired his Campaign Notes of a Russian Officer.
Lazhechnikov was one of the originators of the Russian historical novel, along with Faddey Bulgarin, Mikhail Zagoskin and others. His first novel, The Last Novik (1831–33), set in the early 18th century, was very successful. His novel The House of Ice (1835) dealt with the intrigues and horrors of the court of Empress Anna. The novel was praised by the influential critic Vissarion Belinsky for its authentic portrayal of the details of the period’s social climate. The Infidel, a novel set in the time of Ivan III, was translated into English as The Heretic. He also published several historical dramas including Oprichnik (1843, published in 1859), on which the libretto of Tchaikovsky’s opera is based.
Lazhechnikov died in Moscow in 1869.

Что не есть хорошо в беллетристике, так это отсутствие исторической правдивости. Автором берётся определённый отрезок времени, используемый им в дальнейшем в качестве декораций. У читателя из-за этого формируется неверное представление о прошлом, поскольку он склонен верить написанному. Когда речь касается произведений, при создании которых автор исходил от изначальной ложности представленного вниманию, то не следует обсуждать реально существовавших действующих лиц, в силу их отличия от прототипов. Другое дело, если автор не строит сюжет так, чтобы у читателя не возникало предположений о введении его в заблуждение. Таковая беллетристика кажется правдивой, но до того момента, пока читатель не наберётся грамотности и снова не окажется недовольным представленным для ознакомления текстом. Касательно Ивана Лажечникова и его романа «Басурман», увы, приходится говорить о подмене произошедшего на самом деле плодами собственных измышлений. Грубо говоря, описываемое притянуто за уши.
