Abstract

In article the author analyzes the role and significance of the God’s Fool named Nikolka’s character in Alexander Pushkin's tragedy “Boris Godunov”.The author puts forward a view that the God’s Fool is in fact the central character of the Pushkin's tragedy, the spiritual axis and the core of the narrative. The article points to the fact that the God’s Fool is a prophet recognizing in Tsar Boris a killer and, with logical inevitability - an impostor in “Prince Dimitri”. Nikolka appears as a character free from mass obsession and delusion engulfing Russia and a symbol of hope of deliverance.
