Populist fiction is interpreted as art inspired by a special "social feeling" - love for the people. The ethics of populism demanded self-denial from the intellectual in love for the suffering people. At the same time, the affirmation of this feeling in the hero of populist prose took place in a dramatic struggle with the emotions of fear, despair, and guilt. The catastrophe that cut short the creative path of the most gifted of the populist writers – G.&nbsp;I. Uspensky, prompted the critics of the Silver Age to evaluate literary populism as a "tragic romance" between an intellectual and the people.</p> ER -
