Children in 19th-century Russian lit

[Sasha Senderovich]

In part two of Lermontov's poema "Mtsyri," we have some rather significant
information about the genesis of the poem's  narrator going back to the time
when he was taken away from home at the age of six. Also, if visual arts are
of any interest to you, I have a vivid memory of writing some second-grade
"sochinenie" about Perov's painting "Troika. Ucheniki masterovye vezut vodu"
(1866) that features, in a rather excruciating way, three young children
carrying a heavy barrel through an icy street.
