Abstract

V. Odoevsky’s “New Year” was published in the newspaper “Literary Additions to the “Russian Invalid” in 1837. The study of this novel in the context of the publication allows to make interesting conclusions about the relationship of the writer with his time, and the development of literature at the end of the 1830s in whole. In the works of this period, more often appears the image of the "yesterday" romantic hero, who is no longer capable of the decisive actions today. Writers regarded this weakness as a characteristic feature of the contemporary Russian reality, and as a quality of an individual in general that manifests itself in different epochs. The tendency of an objective understanding of life and the "hero of time" shows the development of the literary process, the gradual transition from romanticism to realism.
