This novel in verses is an example of Russian classic literature. The plot tells about young nobleman moving to country from St. Petersburg, driving there not only by mansion inheritance from his uncle but by the spleen, to find friendship and love which will turn out disappointing and even a tragedy. The main charm of the text is in its verses – the stanza consisted of 14 lines written in verses of iambic tetrameter has became classical since and has been called Onegin stanza.
Этот роман в стихах является образцом классической русской литературы. В основе сюжета история молодого дворянина, который переезжает в деревню из Санкт-Петербурга не только для того, чтобы вступить в наследование имением своего дяди, но и из-за сплина, тоски. Здесь он находит дружбу и любовь, которые в итоге оказываются разочарованием и оборачиваются трагедией. Основная же прелесть текста в стихе, которым он написан – эта строфа из 14 строк четырехстопного ямба с тех пор так и называется “онегинской”. (Summary by xenium5)
