The analysis of Lermontov’s works, in addition to the poem The novice, set in Georgia, is also about the short story Bela, which is part of the 'novel' A hero of our time. The short story was chosen for its clear display of the Russian officers’ attitude of contempt towards the indigenous Caucasians. The analysis of Tolstoy starts with the young author’s position in the 1850s, when he was a voluntary fighter in the Caucasus, as shown in the story The raid. Then, the analysis moves to the position of the 'mature' Tolstoy, a pacifist and anti-militarist, who expresses his ideas in the long story Hadji Murat. 2022-05-31T10:24:07Z 2022-05-31T10:24:07Z 2015 book ONIX_20220531_9788866558927_509 2612-7679 9788866558927 9788855189583 9788866558910 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/55225 ita Biblioteca di Studi Slavistici application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 9788866558927.pdf https://books.fupress.com/isbn/9788866558927 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-6655-892-7 The author addresses the issue of the conquest of Caucasus at the hand of the Tsarist army, investigating the attitude held towards this event by three of the major authors of nineteenth-century Russian literature: Aleksandr Puškin (1799-1837), Mikhail Lermontov (1814-1841) and Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), expressed through some of their most famous works.
