Prisoners of the Caucasus: Ideologies of Imperialism in Lermontov's “Bela”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 October 2020
Abstract
Lermontov's “Bela” (the first part of A Hero of Our Time) is deeply connected to the realities of Russian expansion into the Caucasus during the nineteenth century. The mistreatment of the story's heroine, Bela, by its Russian heroes, Grigoriy Pechorin and Maksim Maksimich, has its roots in the culture and ideologies of Russian imperialism.
