Ermil Girin image and characteristics
1. General characteristics . Ermil Ilyich Girin is one of minor characters poems a "".
This is a simple serf, another candidate for the title happy person.
Traveling men learn about Yermil from the stories of Fedosei and the old priest. Both consider his main virtues to be justice and kindness towards the common people. For this, Girin enjoys “enviable, true honor” among the peasants.
2. The story of Ermil. At the age of twenty, Yermil was appointed clerk to the chief manager of the estate of Prince Yurlov. A minor position could spoil young man, who received a certain power over the peasants. However, Yermil tried with all his might to help the common people. Giving poor people advice and, as far as possible, helping them out of trouble, he never took payment for his services. Thanks to his selfless activities, Yermil earned the love of all the peasants on the estate.
On the other hand, his kindness most likely became the reason for his dismissal from his position. The peasants immediately appreciated the change, as the new clerk demanded a reward for his labors. The heir of the deceased prince kicked out the stealing manager and his entire staff. He invited the peasants to choose their own headman (burgist). The entire estate unanimously announced the choice of Girin as the new manager. For seven years, Yermil honestly and fairly managed the princely estate, enjoying unquestioned authority.
3. Sin of Girin. In Tsarist Russia, peasants were drafted into the army according to a strict order. The headman monitored the observance of order. Girin took advantage of the situation and sent Nenila Vlasyevna’s son as a recruit instead of his brother Mitri. The abuse could have remained without consequences, but Yermil himself felt bitter remorse. He almost hanged himself and on his knees asked the recruit’s mother for forgiveness. Thanks to the intervention of the prince, Nenila’s son was returned, sending Mitrius instead. In the eyes of the peasants, Yermil atoned for his guilt. However, he himself continued to feel like a criminal and voluntarily resigned from the position of headman.
4. People's respect. Yermil rented a mill and became even more beloved by the peasants for his honesty in payments. Soon, the court decided to sell the mill at auction. Yermil was able to “outbid” his competitors, but the court demanded that he immediately provide a deposit in the amount of a thousand rubles. Girin did not have such a sum with him and he decided for the first time to turn to the “world” for help. Going out to the market square, Yermil told people about his misfortune. No one could refuse the national intercessor. In less than an hour, Yermil collected the necessary amount and was able to buy the mill. A week later, on the same square, Girin settled accounts with everyone and even gave the last ruble, which had no owner, to the beggars.
5. Misfortune Ermil. Long honest life allows us to call Ermil lucky. However, at the end of the story, the wanderers learn about his sad fate. Yermil is in prison, probably because he refused to persuade the rebel peasants to surrender.
The image of Yermil Girin (based on the poem by N.A. Nekrasov “Who Lives Well in Rus'”)
Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov, creating in the poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'” a broad picture of life, populates it with various types of characters: these are wandering men looking for happiness, priests and landowners who come across their path, and most of all, of course, peasants , poor and quite prosperous, like Ermila Girin Our wanderers go in fruitless searches until they are advised to find Ermila Girin:
“And you, my dear friends.
Ask Ermila Girin."
According to those who know him, Yermil is a happy person. He is valued by those around him, respected by the landowner,
Girin is engaged in useful work - he maintains a mill at which he works, without deceiving the peasants. He enjoys special trust from people.
An example of this is the collection of money for the orphan mill. Yermil arrived in the city without money, and the mill was being sold; before he had time to go for the money, the mill would go to the merchant Altynnikov.
It won't be good for anyone here. Yermil addresses the people (luckily it was Sunday):
The merchant Altynnikov is rich,
And everything cannot resist him
Against the world's treasury.
"If you know Ermila,
If you believe Yermil.
So help me out!"
Like the wind blows half left
Suddenly it started spinning.
People united in one impulse to do a good deed. They believe that their money will not only not be lost, but will also have time to do a just deed. A week later, as promised, Yermil pays off his debts. No one took too much, and there was also a ruble left, and Girin waited for its owner all day:
Yermil walked around, asking questions.
Whose ruble, but I couldn’t find it.
How did a simple peasant manage to gain authority among people? And Yermil was a clerk, he helped illiterate people without fleecing them. For this he gained respect from the “world.” Why didn’t the wanderers consider him happy? Yermil made a mistake, unable to withstand the test of power. He sent the widow’s son out of turn to be a soldier instead of his own sibling. Our hero repents of what he has done and does not want to live as a sinner, but it is too late. People respect him, appreciate him, but remember this act. Girin cannot be considered happy, since Yermil himself did not want to live after this. He apologizes to the peasants:
I judged you according to my conscience.
Now I myself am the most sinful of all.
Judge me!
Despite all this, the people still believe in Girin, who stumbled but repented. Life is always more complex and richer than literature. And Nekrasov was able to show this in his poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'.”
Nekrasov Ermila Girin poem
A person cannot go through life without making a mistake, but good deeds and helping people are remembered and appreciated, which is why there is good word of mouth about Girin.
Starting from the chapter “Happy”, a turn is planned in the direction of the search for a happy person. On their own initiative, the “lucky” ones from the lower classes begin to approach the wanderers. Most of them are very tempted to take a sip of free wine. But the very fact of their appearance is significant in the epic. The attention of the seven wanderers is increasingly captured by the polyphonic folk Rus'. There are confessional stories from courtyard people, clergy, soldiers, stonemasons, and hunters. The entire peasant kingdom is involved in a dialogue, in a dispute about happiness. Of course, these “lucky ones” are such that the wanderers, seeing the empty bucket, exclaim with bitter irony:
Hey, man's happiness!
Leaky with patches,
Humpbacked with calluses,
Go home!
But at the end of the chapter there is a story about a happy man, moving the action of the epic forward, marking a higher level of popular ideas about happiness. Yermil - “not a prince, not an illustrious count, but just a man!” But in terms of his character and influence on peasant life, he is stronger and more authoritative than anyone. His strength lies in the trust of the people's world and in Yermil Girin's support for this world. The heroism of the people is poeticized when they act together. The story about Ermil begins with a description of the hero's litigation with the merchant Altynnikov over the orphan mill. When at the end of the bargaining “things turned out to be rubbish” - there was no money with Yermil - he turned to the people for support:
And a miracle happened -
Throughout the market square
Every peasant has
Like the wind, half left
Suddenly it turned upside down!
This is the first time in the poem when folk world with one impulse, with one unanimous effort, he wins victory over untruth:
Cunning, strong clerks,
And their world is stronger,
The merchant Altynnikov is rich,
And everything cannot resist him
Against the world's treasury.
Like Yakim, Yermil is endowed keen sense Christian conscience and honor. Only once did he stumble: he excluded “his younger brother Mitri from recruiting.” But this act cost the righteous man severe torment and ended with nationwide repentance, which further strengthened his authority. Ermil’s conscientiousness is not exceptional: it is an expression of the most characteristic features of the peasant world as a whole. Let us remember how Yermil paid off the peasants for their worldly debt, collected in the market square:
An extra ruble, whose - God knows!
Stayed with him.
All day with my money open
Yermil walked around, asking questions,
Whose ruble? I didn’t find it.
Throughout his life, Yermil refutes the initial ideas of wanderers about the essence of human happiness. It would seem that he has “everything that is needed for happiness: peace of mind, money, and honor.” But at a critical moment in his life, Yermil sacrifices this “happiness” for the sake of the people’s truth and ends up in prison.

A man elected by the peasants as mayor (head of local government) and respected by them is considered as a person who may have the happiness that seven peasants are looking for.
The image of Yermil Girin is introduced into the poem to show ideas common people about morality, justice and truth.
This attitude of the people was the result of the fundamental honesty that Yermil Girin showed by serving the peasant society as a clerk for years, without using his official position to enrich himself, which was rare.
However, to completely overcome the temptations given by the position, even this one, is extremely honest man I couldn't. Having been chosen as mayor, he nevertheless retreated from his principles and shielded his brother. Yermil sent another man as a soldier instead. From the point of view of mass peasant psychology, he had two mitigating circumstances. The mayor did not pay off the bribe, but saved a close relative, which was understandable to the men who lived according to the norms traditional society. Yermil Girin sincerely repented and even wanted to hang himself. In addition, he corrected the consequences of his action by returning the wrongly sent man from the army and sending his brother as a recruit.
The trust of the peasants was, at least partially, restored. The people trust him. The seven peasants are told a story about how he needed money to buy out the mill and asked to borrow it from those gathered in the square. The peasant “world” showed great confidence in Yermil. He collected a large sum, each of those who were there gave at least some. Afterwards Yermil settled accounts with everyone.
However, Ermil Girin still cannot be called happy. In the story with the former mayor, Nekrasov’s disbelief in the common people is clear. It turns out that the Russian peasants themselves, in his opinion, are not capable of establishing fair governance and happiness for themselves. Even their best and most honest representatives, chosen by the community, cannot be completely free from corruption and violation of the people's original ideas of truth. The democratic writer believed in happiness for the majority, but brought from outside, by more progressive and educated people.
Essay by Ermil Girin
Nekrasov in his poem very clearly showed both the main and secondary characters. One of the minor characters, whose story touches the reader's heartstrings, is the peasant Yermil Girin. The story of this peasant is told in a poem called “The Happy Ones.”
The character's full name is Ermil Ilyich Girin. The author of the poem sometimes calls him “Yermilo”.
Yermil Ilyich has neither ranks nor wealth. He is neither a count, nor a prince, nor even a merchant. Yermil is an ordinary man, a simple peasant.
By character, Yermil Ilyich Girin is a very determined person, he is a rather lively man. In addition, he is a very proud person. In the situation with the mill, he says that the mill itself is not dear to him, but “the offense is great.”
Although Yermil Ilyich Girin is still very young, he has an extraordinary mind. In addition, the character is taught to read and write, unlike most peasants.
Yermilo is a reliable person. The people believe him and even unanimously elect him as mayor of their estate. Six thousand people voted to elect Yermil as their boss.
Other peasants respect Yermil Ilyich for his intelligence and kindness. Respect for the hero was bought not by money, but by the character qualities of this peasant.
Ermil Ilyich Girin is a sympathetic person. He will always help others within his capabilities. And he will not ask for anything in gratitude that speaks of him as a selfless person.
In addition, this character is distinguished by an extraordinary quality - intelligence. He understands people well and sees if someone is thinking of cheating or playing nice with him.
The main quality of Ermil Ilyich Girin is honesty. He never took other people's money. The poem describes a situation where the hero walked around all day with his purse open, trying to find out who owned the ruble.
Ermil Ilyich Girin is a truthful and fair person. He believes that all people are the same and all people are equal. He does not divide people into peasants and landowners. Everyone equally stood in line at the mill for grinding.
The hero committed a dishonest act only once in his life - when he “shielded” his younger brother from serving in the army. But he himself suffers from the committed act, so he confesses to everything and sends his brother to the army. In addition, he now considers himself more sinful than others, so he resigns from the position of headman and remains to work at the mill.
As a result, the hero ends up in prison. Most likely, he supported the peasant uprising, for which he was sent to prison.

The image of Yermil Girin in Nekrasov’s poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'” is one of the most colorful, since in this character the author embodied his vision of the best traits in the Russian people: honesty, directness, selflessness and love of truth. At the same time, Nekrasov described his hero very plausibly, putting the story about him into the mouths of peasants who tell wanderers about him. It is not for nothing that the poet conveys the story about him to strangers, thus trying to emphasize the veracity of the story.
General characteristics
The image of Yermil Girin is very symbolic in philosophical sense. The whole essence of the poem lies in the search of seven wanderers for a happy man in Rus'. And in the chapter “Happy”, the author, through the mouth of the common people, talks about people who, in the opinion of the peasants, in their moral and moral qualities deserve to be known by everyone. But before talking about the heroes, it is necessary to note some facts about the creation and writing of the poem. Nekrasov began to write his, perhaps, most famous work in the first half of the 1860s, although he may have begun sketching earlier. The creation of the text and its publication lasted for several years and continued until the death of the author. At first he wanted to write eight parts, but due to illness he reduced the number of parts, and the final version included four parts.
Peculiarities
The image of Ermil Girin embodies the author’s general plan - the creation of a wide panorama folk life in Rus'. In a conventionally fairy-tale form, Nekrasov narrates the journey of seven wanderers who are looking throughout the country for a truly happy person. Characteristic feature This work is that it has become a real epic canvas of the folk life of Rus'. The poet tried to cover the main spheres of social and social life, show the strata of the population and for this purpose chooses as heroes representatives of various social strata, each of whom presents his own story to the wanderers and tells about his misfortunes and problems. It was not without reason that the author followed this path, since it was in this way that the narrative received particular persuasiveness and truthfulness. He himself, as it were, deliberately distanced himself from the narrative and acts only as an observer, leaving his characters to talk about themselves.
Heroes
The images of Yakim Nagogo and Ermil Girin occupy one of the central places in the story for several reasons. Firstly, this ordinary people from the people, ordinary peasants. Secondly, they are mentioned in the chapter “Happy”, which immediately distinguishes them from other characters, since the title of the chapter suggests that they are the ones the wanderers are looking for during their journey through Rus'. Thirdly, they do not talk about themselves, but the reader learns about them from the words of the village residents who knew them well. Thus, the author follows folk tradition, according to which rumors about good and good person spreads throughout the earth, the whole world learns about him and his life becomes known to many people.
Characters
The image of Yermil Girin is distinguished by the greater truthfulness and expressiveness that wanderers all over the world are told about him. What features do peasants highlight when characterizing him? First of all, truthfulness: Yermil is an honest person who never used his position for his own benefit. Working as a clerk, he always helped the peasants, did not take bribes, and acted in their interests. For this, everyone in the village loved and respected him, and elected him mayor.
When he urgently needed money to buy back the mill, he turned to all the people for help, and everyone present at the fair helped him: everyone, even people he didn’t know, gave money to buy back the mill. It is in this episode that, perhaps, the image of Yermil Girin is most clearly revealed. Briefly about him in connection with this episode, the following can be said: he is a truly people's man in spirit, and therefore the peasants help him all over the world. And only once did he abuse his power: he sent the son of a poor peasant woman as a recruit instead of his brother. However, being by nature a conscientious and truthful person, he repented of his actions, resigned from his position, and repented before all the people. So, the image of Ermila Girin, which is briefly described in this section, is one of the most striking in the poem.
Yakim Nagoy is also a simple peasant, whose whole life is spent in hard physical labor. He drinks a lot, and at first glance it seems that he is a goner. However, Yakim is a man with wealth inner world. He has a sense of beauty: so, he buys beautiful pictures, who became his only consolation, so during a fire he saves them. So, in his poem, Nekrasov convincingly showed the images of simple peasants, each of which is touching and sympathetic to the reader.
