Gurevich, P. S. Has Lermontov’s Prophecy Come True?
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the vision of a prophet that Lermontov had. Much is said about Lermontov as a
messenger. The author of the present article tries to clarify what meaning the word ‘prophet’ acquires when we talk
about a poet. It is noted that the poet’ vision of the future almost in all cases coincided with what actually happened
some time later. Such a gift, as Pavel Gurevich states, is usually typical for the personality type called ‘intuitive’ by Carl
Jung called. People with this personality type have a weak connection with the reality, they address to the world of
ideals and spiritual absolutes. Mikhail Lermontov is a bright representative of this personality type. He can be called a
‘tragic philosopher-visionist. In his research article Pavel Gurevich uses methods of hermeneutic analysis of text. The
author has also used the historicism method allowing to understand the social environment when this or that prophecy
was created by the poet. Pavel Gurevih has also used the comparative approach allowing to compare the poet’s gift of
prophecy with a similar gift of Alexander Pushkin. The novelty of the article is in the author’s attempt to analyze what
is usually meant when researchers talk about Lermontov as a prophet. The author of the article does not only discuss
the poet’s capability to predict future events. He also talks about Lermontov’s personality and analyzes feature that are
generally typical for intuitive introverts. These personality types have unique features. They can actually see ahead and
foresee future events which cannot be viewed by other personality types.
