Belinsky (Russian:Белинский) is a 1953Sovietbiopic film directed byGrigori Kozintsev, based on the life of Russian literary criticVissarion Belinsky (1811–1848). The production of the film was completed in 1951 but it was not released until 1953, following the reshooting of various scenes demanded by Stalin.[1]
Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky—a Russian thinker, writer, literary critic, publicist, and Westernizer philosopher—lived a remarkable but brief life. Initially captivated by Hegelian philosophy, particularly its assertion that "all that is real is rational," Belinsky passionately embraced this idea. However, as he delved deeper into the realities around him, he became a fervent critic of their irrationality.
Belinsky argued that Russian literature did not truly exist until the works of Nikolai Gogol emerged. Nevertheless, he dedicated a series of articles to Russian writers in the journalOtechestvennye Zapiski (Notes of the Fatherland), which were later compiled into a separate volume. This collection effectively served as a history of Russian literature, spanning from Mikhail Lomonosov to Alexander Pushkin.
