Drozhzhin “Homeland” (1871–1923) reflects a complex evolution of a peasant poet. It would have been unjustful to see in it only an attempt to fit into current political situation. This evolution reflects the transition from the pessimism that is quite typical for the peasant class to the optimism of intelligentsia. 1. Drozhzhin S.D. Sobranie sochinenii: V 3 t. [Works.
