(327 words) N.A. Nekrasov repeatedly addressed the topic of the fate of the people. Among others, he tried to find the answer to the question of what the intercessor looks like.
The heroes of the poem “To whom it is good to live in Russia” are ordinary people who do hard work every day. They do not expect rewards for this, but still do not lose faith in justice. But how to achieve this justice? To do this, you need at least one person who will be able to start the fight.
Several heroes of the work at once are strong-minded people with authority. If necessary, they can lead the people. For example, Yakim Nagoy, even in need, does not want to bow her head obediently. He notes that all peasants have “angry” and “formidable” souls. If someone acts in bad faith, thunder will strike: people will unite against the intruder.
Yermila Girin was chosen by the burgomaster as the peasants themselves: he is honest, fair, incorruptible, quick-witted. “And you give, it won’t take it” - a valuable quality for the leader. However, Jirin also makes a mistake by barring his brother from recruitment. He sincerely repents and, in the end, leaves his post. Now the hero works at the mill. He still does not distinguish between rich and poor and treats everyone equally well. His honor was "bought by strict truth." This is one example of intercession: if you can’t change the situation, you should at least try to alleviate the fate of others.
In the gallery of images stands out the image of Saveliy - a real hero. And he also does not want to be a slave. Savely wholeheartedly loves the motherland, understands and respects the people, knows how to support with a kind word. He has enough strength to personally execute the oppressors - for example, the manager Vogel, a German whom the people hated for the predatory policy towards serfs.
Finally, it is necessary to say about Grisha Dobrosklonov. The author emphasizes: it is for such defenders that the future of Russia. They know well what a simple peasant needs, have a good education and are not afraid of punishment for their willfulness. Grisha Dobrosklonov speaks about his ideals simply and clearly: "Light and freedom above all." Such people will not allow peasants to be slaves all their lives. Listening to his songs, citizens of different classes can embark on the path of truth and justice, the path of intercession. After all, the working people are the “salt of the salt of the earth,” they must be protected and protected.
