This incident led to the exclusion from the corps, to a change in the entire line of life and to severe psycho -trauma, which was reflected in the "gloomy" poetry of Baratynsky. After the exclusion from the corps, the fifteen -year -old Baratynsky was forbidden to enter the public service, except for the military - a soldier. Having left the capital, Baratynsky lived partly with his mother in the Tambov province for several years, partly with his uncle, his father’s brother, retired vice Admiral Bogdan Andreyevich Baratynsky, in the Smolensk province, in the village of Podvoysky.

In the village of Uncle Baratynsky, he found a small society of cheerful youth, began to write poetry. Like many other people of that time, he willingly wrote French pieces. From year to us, Russian poems have already reached us, quite weak. But by the year, Baratynsky completely took possession of poetic technology, his verse began to acquire that “non -actual expression”, which he subsequently recognized as the main dignity of his poetry.

His wife was not beautiful, but was distinguished by his mind, a bright and delicate taste. Her inconsistent character caused a lot of suffering to Baratynsky himself and influenced the fact that many of his friends were remote from him.

In a peaceful family life, everything that was in Bayanny, rebellious was gradually smoothed in Baratynsky; He confessed himself: "I locked the door to the merry men, I was saturated with their violent happiness, and now replaced it with a decent, quiet voluptuousness." The fame of Baratynsky, as a poet, began after the publication, in the year, his poems “Ed” and “Feast” with one book, with an interesting preface by the author and, in the year, the first collection of lyrical poems - the result of the first half of his work.

This publication led to a new blow of fate, from which Baratynsky could not recover.

Against the background and, in general, a disgraceful tone of criticism on the collection, the blow was struck by Belinsky, who decided that Baratynsky in his verses rose against science and education. It was more than stupidity. In the poem: “So far, a man of nature has not tortured” Baratynsky developed the thought of his youthful letter: “Is it not better to be a happy ignorant than an unhappy sage.” In the poem “The Last Poet”, he protested against that materialistic direction that began to be determined at the end of the 10th - early xg.

Boratynsky rejected the exceptional desire for the “urgent and useful”, was not against knowledge at all. The need for knowledge to Baratynsky was always close and the road. It was a "thinking" poet.

Baratynsky responded to the poem "For the Sowing of the Forest." It is believed that Belinsky had in mind the words: “whom I crumbled my impulse, he could call me to the bloody battle.” He could strive to refute precisely my, Baratynsky, ideas, not replacing them with an imaginary hostility towards science; But, according to Baratynsky, this enemy preferred to “wipe the hidden moat under it”, that is, to fight him with unfair ways.

Baratynsky ends the poem with a threat, and after that he refuses poetry: "I rejected the strings." But such vows, if given by poets, are usually not executed. In the fall of next year, Baratynsky fulfilled his long -standing desire - a journey abroad.To introduce the French with his poetry, Baratynsky translated several poems into French.
