In the fairy tale, a raven feeds on carrion and lives for 300 years, and an eagle feeds on living blood and lives for 33 years. For Pugachev, to live like a raven - like serfs lived, in eternal submission. It’s better for the people to try, like an eagle, even if it’s short and bloody, but to be free. The eagle was unable to feed on carrion, although it wanted to live long. And people will not be able to live according to other people's laws, being someone else's property.
For Grinev, the meaning of the fairy tale is different; he answers Pugachev that for him killing is the same as eating carrion. That is, Grinev does not support the attempt to win freedom in such a bloody, terrible way.

The episode with the fairy tale is the culmination in revealing the image of Pugachev. It has many meanings, and therefore it cannot be reduced (as is often done) to extracting a moral from a fairy tale, or declaring that it allegorically glorifies a brave short life. The tale reveals the depth of Pugachev's spiritual renewal. The lively, large, sparkling eyes, which Grinev remembered so much and enchanted him, predicted Pugachev’s ability to have high feelings, “to wild inspiration.” The whole scene is constructed in such a way that the fairy tale poetically and directly conveys secret meaning real life Pugacheva: everything known about him convinces us that this man of eagle nature cannot live according to the laws of the raven, he does not see the point in a long life if he needs to eat carrion. There is another life - albeit short, but free: “... It’s better to get drunk with living blood once, and then what God will give!”

The meaning of the fairy tale is that it is better to live a short life, but bright life than long and boring

Reply from Individual[master]
Short and rich life, or long, gray, mean, boring life. Raven is a scavenger. The eagle is a noble bird.

To the question about the meaning of the Kalmyk fairy tale in the captain's daughter asked by the author dissolution the best answer is You probably remember what fairy tale Pugachev told Grinev in A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter”?
“Listen,” said Pugachev with some wild inspiration. – I’ll tell you a fairy tale that an old Kalmyk woman told me as a child. One day an eagle asked a raven: “Tell me, raven bird, why have you lived in this world for 300 years, and I am only 33 years old? - “Because, father,” the raven answered him, “that you drink living blood, and I feed on carrion.” The eagle thought: “Let’s try and eat the same.” Fine. The eagle and the raven flew away. They saw a dead horse, they went down and sat down. The raven began to peck and praise. The eagle pecked once, pecked again, waved its wing and said to the raven: “No, brother raven: why eat carrion for 300 years, better time drink living blood, and then what God will give! » – What is a Kalmyk fairy tale?
“Intricate,” I answered him. But to live by murder and robbery means, for me, to peck at carrion.
Pugachev looked at me in surprise and did not answer anything.”
It’s strange, but researchers hardly mention this episode: either in passing or not at all.
The teacher at school explained its meaning to us this way: Grinev, they say, with his noble limitations, cannot understand Pugachev’s broad nature, his answer is out of tune and out of place, and Pugachev remained silent, realizing the gulf between them.
It turned out (however, it was suspected before) that the teacher did not come up with this herself. In a manual for teachers, published in stagnant times, we read: “Pugachev takes desperate risks... His broad nature is alien to compromise solutions... Grinev’s abstract humanism looked at least naive; Pugachev could have easily refuted his objections. But, wanting to show the magnitude of Pugachev’s personality, Pushkin... seems to make it clear to the reader that the leader of the uprising knew how to listen to judgments that ran counter to his own ideas.”
Thus, according to the laws of class Soviet morality, it turned out that Pugachev’s desperate risk, that is, imposture and the crimes that followed, was the correct line of behavior. He called himself a king - so he was a true king of the people.
The opinion that Pugachev, in the structure of Pushkin’s work, performs the function of a tsar, that he is the real tsar, and Empress Catherine is petty and insignificant against his background, was expressed more convincingly and passionately than all Soviet literary scholars combined (although many of them have similar conclusions) Marina Tsvetaeva. Here are a few excerpts from her article “Pushkin and Pugachev”.
"Pushkin is enchanted by Pugachev".
“In The Captain’s Daughter, Pushkin fell under Pugachev’s spell and did not get out from under it until the last line... Charm in his black eyes and black beard, charm in his grin, charm in his dangerous tenderness, charm in his feigned importance.”
“After The Captain's Daughter, I could never fall in love with Catherine II. I’ll say more: I didn’t like her.”
“Against the fiery background of Pugachev - fires, robberies, blizzards, tents, feasts - this one, in a cap and a shower jacket, on a bench, between all sorts of bridges and leaves, seemed to me like a huge white fish, a whitefish. And even unsalted... Let's compare Pugachev and Catherine in real life:
“Come out, beautiful maiden, I give you freedom. I am the sovereign." (Pugachev leading Marya Ivanovna out of prison).
“Excuse me,” she said in an even more affectionate voice, “if I interfere in your affairs, but I am at court...”
How much more regal in his gesture is a man who calls himself a sovereign than an empress who presents herself as a hanger-on.”
Did Marina Ivanovna realize how much water and with what pressure she poured into the mill of Soviet propaganda? No, probably not. Yes, and I lived abroad in those years, so this was not written for the Soviet reader. Well, God be her judge... It is well known that “The Captain’s Daughter” is not the only work of Pushkin dedicated to the Pugachev uprising. Two years before the release of the story, the research work “The History of Pugachev” was published, where the author, with all possible scrupulousness, recreates the true events from the appearance of

The story of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter” will never cease to amaze readers: the characters of the characters are so interesting, the events described are based on real historical facts. Pushkin's genius is truly great: every detail in the story carries a huge meaning. Interesting in this regard are the epigraphs that the author selects for the chapters. Some of the epigraphs seem to be intended to explain the content of the chapter. Others are clearly satirical. However, most epigraphs are aimed at revealing the character of the heroes as fully as possible. The same function is performed by the Kalmyk fairy tale included in the narrative, which Pugachev tells to Grinev.

“With wild inspiration,” the leader of the Cossacks tells a fabulous story:

One day an eagle asked a raven: tell me, raven bird, why have you lived in this world for three hundred years, and I am only thirty-three years old? “Because, father,” the raven answered him, “you drink living blood, and I feed on carrion.” The eagle thought: let's try and eat the same thing. Fine. The eagle and the raven flew away. They saw a dead horse; came down and sat down. The raven began to peck and praise. The eagle pecked once, pecked again, waved its wing and said to the raven: no, brother raven; Instead of eating carrion for three hundred years, it’s better to drink living blood once, and then God willing!

Pugachev, of course, associates himself with the eagle. However, Grinev also does not recognize the raven in himself. For him, “living by robbery,” like Pugachev, is precisely “pecking at carrion.” Thus, we see that each of the heroes, although he compares himself with the same fairy-tale character, but has their own ideas about who the “eagle” is, and firm convictions in the correctness of their chosen path.

Emelyan Pugachev as a person is of great interest. Of course, he is an extraordinary person. His image in “The Captain's Daughter” is heroic and majestic. Knowing the needs and sorrows of all the “poor rabble,” Pugachev addressed each of its groups with special slogans and decrees. He granted the Cossacks not only the Yaik River with all its lands and wealth, but also what the Cossacks needed: bread, gunpowder, lead, money, the “old faith” and Cossack liberties. Turning to the peasants, Pugachev granted them lands and lands, freedom, freed the landowners from power, whom he called for extermination, from any responsibilities in relation to the state, promised them a free Cossack life. He has the ability to lead people - in the ranks of his troops there are not only escaped convicts, but also ordinary peasants. Pugachev is depicted as a person not devoid of nobility and even kindness; just remember how he acted towards Pyotr Grinev and Masha Mironova. He has some respect for Grinev’s choice and his convictions. Pugachev is able to return kindness for kindness, remembering the hare sheepskin coat given to Grinev, he does Peter a reciprocal kindness that is much more significant.

However, all this does not justify the atrocities committed by Emelyan Pugachev. His life philosophy- like an eagle, once he drinks blood, and then, come what may - leads to the fact that he follows these beliefs almost literally. Pugachev and his army shed a lot of innocent blood of people like Captain Mironov. In the name of what? In the name of the freedom they promised the “rabble”? Hardly. If this were so, Pugachev would have had a definite program of further actions, but the future itself seemed to him and his comrades somehow vaguely in the form of a Cossack state, where everyone would be Cossacks, where there would be no taxes or conscription. Lies, murders, vice - this is what accompanies Pugachev's rebellion. Here the comparison with an eagle is no longer inappropriate; it is rather, in the words of the fairy tale, “pecking on carrion.”

In my opinion, Pugachev is not able to objectively evaluate his actions. Mired in the murder, robberies and robberies that accompanied the rebellion, the leader of the Cossacks acquired a distorted idea of ​​​​true heroism, which is performed by a person in the name of some goal. Possessing unparalleled courage, Pugachev nevertheless does not look like a guardian for the people's good, and therefore his heroism is worthless. Proclaiming high ideas, Pugachev actually brings a lot of grief not only to the “top”, which he opposed, but to a greater extent ordinary people who found himself in the field of his “activity”.

Much closer and clearer, unambiguous in perception life position Petra Grineva. An honest nobleman, he even faces near death remains true to his convictions. Not a shadow of doubt arises in him about his own faith. Grinev remains firm in his word, having sworn allegiance to the empress; no life circumstances will force him to back down. He, like Pugachev, is a courageous man. Even, in my opinion, his courage is much greater than Pugacheva - he takes risks own life for the sake of saving my beloved. In order not to tarnish the name of Masha Mironova, he is ready to accept both death and dishonor (according to Shvabrin’s slander, he is going to be executed as a traitor). If we talk about how applicable one of the images of the Kalmyk fairy tale is to the personality of Pyotr Grinev, then, of course, the image of an eagle is closer to him. Only this image is interpreted differently by him. For Grinev, “pecking on carrion” means becoming a traitor, betraying an oath, betraying oneself. For him, as for the fairy eagle, it is better to live short life, but worthy.
