Onegin's "sense of redundancy" reflects the inner feelings of some senior aristocratic intellectuals about Russian social life during the period of Russian social transformation. Reflect the main characteristics of Russian advanced literature facing the times. /kloc-In the first half of the 9th century, when capitalism in Western Europe was consolidated and developed, Russia was a feudal serfdom society under the autocratic rule of the czar, capitalism was still in its primary stage, and its economic development was far behind that in Western Europe. With the victory of the anti-Napoleonic War, the influence of western orthodox bourgeois culture-liberalism on Russia reached a climax. 18 12 The anti-Napoleonic war aroused the unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm of the Russian people. The upsurge of patriotism will inevitably lead progressives to pay attention to social and political issues and the future of the motherland. Among the aristocratic intellectuals, young officers were influenced by the French bourgeois revolution and demanded social reform, which led to the The Decemberists Uprising of 1825. The uprising was suppressed and the society was filled with high-pressure atmosphere. In this turbulent society, some advanced intellectuals stand out from the old aristocratic class. They hate this class and its ugliness. They have their own inferiority complex and empty ambitions, but they have no practical actions and courage. They became "giants in thought, dwarfs in action" and "redundant people".

Through the inner feelings of these young intellectuals, the author reflects their complex feelings in the process of exploring the future and destiny of the motherland.
