The image of Onegin in the history of foreign literature, Yevgeni Onegin

The image of Onegin in "Evgeny Onegin" is the first "superfluous" image in Russia, the leader of the Russian aristocratic youth in the 1820s, the progressive culture of Western Europe, which made him realize that his intoxicated, obsessive life was meaningless, he was bored, miserable, dissatisfied with the vulgarity and emptiness of aristocratic society, he studied seriously, carried out agricultural reforms, and the example of the aristocratic youth who Onegin began to awaken.

But he did not completely get rid of the influence of the traditional morality of the aristocratic class, and the long-term aristocratic life made him far away from the people, lacking a sense of reality, not knowing himself, not understanding others, not understanding the living environment in which he lived, unable to find his own place in life, and his personality was extremely complex and contradictory.
