Summary/Abstract: In the present article the author presented an analysis of the systems unity of the Puslikin’s literary output of the period of Boldinov autumn of 1830 from the point of view of expansion of “Belkin’s world” (i.e. democratic element in the life of Russia of the time) with the analysis of the foundations of national and people’s life. In such an interpretation the problems of Country maid appears as the original return of Pushkin to the basic collision of the novel Eugene Onegin (the conflict of the nobleman hero with the provincial maid close to the national and people’s world). Just such an “artistic experiment” allowed the poet to test the potential social possibilities of the hero of the time and at the same time defined the inevitability of dramatic solution of a love conflict of the novel. The comparative analysis of Country maid and Eugene Onegin in Chapter VIII gave the basis to the juxtaposition of the principal tendency of the narrative specificity of the work and in particular the stylistic presence of the author (Pushkin) in the story with the autonomy of the author in the novel, and correspondential relation between the principles of narrative organization of the works. Apart from this problem and artistic unity of the output of Boldinov period was also proved in the lyric works of the period — their internal mutual contextual relation was pointed out and the tie between lyrical poetry and the works of the “great” genres was emphasised (Elegy and a whole number of motives from Chapter VIII of Eugene Onegin; the work of written in verse and The work; “Work” and the motive of “creative work” in the work of Mozart and Salieri etc.). In the course of analysis of these mutual relations the problem “creator — creativeness” was distinguished, which allowed to perform the comprehensive analysis of the structure of Eugene Onegin and description of a fundamental tendency of the next stage of Boldinov period.
