According to Christian canons, in the poet’s consciousness, the source of moral is acting and a measure of a moral sense is Christ. Primary in Lermontov’s poetry is the accusation of his generation’s flaws. Also accusation of defects are strong in his creativity. The leading motive of Lermontov’s poetry is that of God's court, which acts as a justice standard.
