Mihail Yuryevich Lermontov (1814-1841), one of the leading representatives of Russian revolutionary romanticism, who died at the age of 27 in a duel he fought as a result of the provocations of people close to the palace, was under heavy pressure from the tsarist regime in Russia. and it yielded its fruits in a period when policies of violence were pursued ruthlessly. There are 20 poems in The Last Son of Freedom, excluding the ones the poet left unfinished.

Love of freedom and homeland in Mtsiri, who was considered one of the most outstanding examples of revolutionary romanticism in Russian literature until that period; The tragedy of man doomed to be alone in Iblis; Valor and heroism in Ismail Bey, The Last Son of Freedom and The Lithuanian Daughter, an open protest against social injustice, slavery and the strict laws of the church in Boyar Orsa and Confession; Themes of bravery, rights and honor are discussed in the Song of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich and his Young Guard and the Brave Merchant Kalasnikov. While Kanlı, Hacı Abrek, Bastunci Aulu, The Fugitive were inspired by the folk songs and fairy tales that Lermontov listened to in his childhood, the impressions he gained while in exile in the Caucasus, and real events, Culio, Pirate and Angel of Death reflect the Russian traveler who was overwhelmed by the harsh living conditions of the city and found salvation in nature. Tambov Treasurer's Wife, Saska and Fairy Tales for Children, where Russian rural life is told in a cheerful and witty language, are also examples of Lermontov's tendency towards realism. we would have a great poet who is the true defender of the people..."
