Analysis of Yevtushenko’s poem “There are no uninteresting people in the world. Evgeny Yevtushenko - There are no uninteresting people in the world: Verse
There are no uninteresting people in the world.
Their destinies are like the stories of the planets.
Each one has everything special, its own,
and there are no planets similar to it.
What if someone lived unnoticed
and made friends with this invisibility,
he was interesting among people
its very uninterestingness.
Everyone has their own secret personal world.
There is the best moment in this world.
There is the most terrible hour in this world,
but all this is unknown to us.
And if a person dies,
his first snow dies with him,
and the first kiss, and the first fight...
He takes all this with him.
Yes, books and bridges remain,
cars and artists canvases,
yes, much is destined to remain,
but something still goes away!
This is the law of the ruthless game.
It is not people who die, but worlds.
We remember people, sinful and earthly.
What did we really know about them?
What do we know about brothers, about friends,
What do we know about our only one?
And about his own father
We, knowing everything, know nothing.
People are leaving... They cannot be brought back.
Their secret worlds cannot be revived.
And every time I want again
scream from this irrevocability.
Analysis of the poem “There are no uninteresting people in the world” by Yevtushenko
E. Yevtushenko's lyrics are incredibly diverse and are devoted to a variety of topics. Philosophical reflections occupy a large place in it. One of these poems is “There are no uninteresting people in the world...” (1961), dedicated to the famous journalist S. N. Preobrazhensky. In this work, Yevtushenko reflects on the meaning of human life and its significance.
In Soviet times, the priority of society over the individual was proclaimed. An individual deserved attention only if he acted for the benefit of the whole society or committed a socially significant act. Yevtushenko opposes such a one-sided view.
“There are no uninteresting people in the world...” - this is how the poet begins to think. He compares the fate of each person with the fate of the planet. By this he emphasizes its scale and uniqueness. Even someone who has lived unnoticed all his life, not standing out in any way and having not accomplished anything great, deserves attention precisely because of his inconspicuousness. Even uninteresting people are strikingly different from each other.
A person with his own feelings and experiences represents a separate, unique world, living according to its own laws. This world is filled with events, joys and sorrows, defeats and victories. It has its own solemn and mourning dates. Unlike the universal human world, all these events are unknown to others. Therefore, the death of anyone, even the most insignificant person, is a huge tragedy. He is not the only one dying, the whole world is dying.
Yevtushenko does not deny the contribution of famous people. Even in the generally accepted sense, a person is obliged to leave behind a tree, a house and a son. People work and fill the world with the products of their activities. A person’s plans take on physical embodiment. But what can the bridge he built or the car he assembled say about a person? Even outstanding works of art can, from a certain angle, illuminate only one side of a multifaceted human personality. The largest and most valuable part of a person’s inner world dies with him.
Yevtushenko moves on to the philosophical question of the knowability of man. There is a certain opinion about everyone, which is very far from the truth. A “sinful and earthly” person remains in memory by his deeds and actions. But no one knows how much they corresponded to his inner world. The poet claims that no one truly understands even the closest people, even “his own father.”
Yevtushenko despairs at the thought that humanity is discovering space, but calmly accepts the death of entire unexplored worlds on his planet. They will never be returned. The poet has only one way out: “to scream from this irrevocability.”

There are no uninteresting people in the world. Their fates are like the history of the planets. Each one has everything special, its own, and there are no planets similar to it.

What is the theme of this poem? The uniqueness of a person's personality, the individuality of the world of the simplest, ordinary person. The fate of each person is purely individual and unique. It is as mysterious and interesting as the history of the most distant and mysterious planet. Yevgeny Yevtushenko talks about this in his poem. He claims that the personality of anyone, even the most inconspicuous person at first glance, is amazing. The poet believes that there are no everyday destinies; in every life there are moments of happiness and tragic shocks, hidden from other people. Everyone has their own secret personal world.

The 50-80s of the twentieth century were a time of ethical boom, when B. Akhmadulina, A. Voznesensky, B. Okudzhava, R. Rozhdestvensky, E. Yevtushenko entered the arena of enormous popularity. They infected the whole country with inspiration, striking it with their freshness, independence, and unofficial creativity. The performances of these authors attracted huge stadiums, and the poetry of the “Thaw” period soon began to be called pop poetry.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko is rightfully considered the loudest lyricist of the galaxy. He was the poetic leader of that period. One of the pearls of his work is the poem “There are no uninteresting people in the world...”, filled with truly philosophical meaning.
The fate of each person is purely individual and unique. It is as mysterious and interesting as the history of the most distant and mysterious planet. Evgeniy Yevtushenko speaks about this in his poem. He claims that the personality of anyone, even, at first glance, the most inconspicuous person, is amazing. The poet believes that there are no everyday destinies; in every life there are moments of happiness and tragic shocks, hidden from other people. He writes:
Everyone has their own secret personal world.
There is the best moment in this world.
There is the most terrible hour in this world,
But all this is unknown to us.
With the death of a person, everything most intimate in his life goes away: “both the first kiss and the first fight.” Even a fraction of those who leave behind “monuments not made by hands” on earth disappear without a trace. If a person disappears, the whole world disappears. The poet emphasizes that man is tragically lonely by nature. He lives among people, but when he dies, it turns out that even the closest people, in essence, knew nothing about him.
What do we know about brothers, about friends,
What do we know about our only one?
And about his own father
We, knowing everything, know nothing.
This heartfelt confession breaks out like a cry from the poet’s soul. His awareness of the tragic doom of human life is filled with acute pain. The poem conveys the poet’s sadness and at the same time his delight at the versatility and immensity of man as an individual.
Lexical repetitions, syntactic parallelism, rhetorical questions and rhetorical exclamations, ellipses help to feel the deep thoughtfulness of the author and the severity of the problem he raised, and arouse complicity in the author’s sad reflection.
Yevtushenko’s poem is filled with great love for man and admiration for him. Life appears in the poem as a ruthless game.
And every time I want again
scream from this irrevocability...
Yevtushenko is attentive to a person, his inner world, and fate. He is interested in the world of the simplest, most ordinary inhabitant of the earth.
Yevtushenko's lyrics are distinguished by special frankness, sharpness, and lyricism. The poet responds to people’s concerns and burning questions. His lyrical hero passionately tries to understand the life around him and himself.
“Man is... a living mystery,” said the Russian philosopher S. N. Bulgakov. E. Yevtushenko also convinces the reader of this in the poem “There are no uninteresting people in the world...”
The poem “There are no uninteresting people in the world...”, written in 1961, is dedicated to Sergei Nikolaevich Preobrazhensky (1908–1979), a well-known journalist, publicist, and author of a study of Fadeev’s novel “Ferrous Metallurgy” in the Soviet years. In addition, he held the position of executive editor at the famous literary and art magazine "Youth". In his memoirs, Yevtushenko noted that Preobrazhensky reverently loved poetry. It was thanks to his efforts that Evgeniy Aleksandrovich’s famous poem “Bratsk Hydroelectric Power Station” (1965) was published.
“There are no uninteresting people in the world...” is an example of Yevtushenko’s philosophical lyrics. In it, the poet discusses eternal topics: life and death, the meaning of man’s stay on earth. The work proclaims the fact of the uniqueness of each representative of the human race, even the most ordinary, nondescript, in no way standing out from the crowd, not possessing any outstanding abilities. Human destinies are comparable in mystery to the stories of distant planets. Yevtushenko claims that everyone has a secret personal world, filled with the best moments and terrible hours. No one can know us as well as we know ourselves. The lyrical hero of the work is delighted with the versatility and immensity of the personality of each person. The individual dies, and with him his first snow, his first kiss, his first fight dies. And nothing can be done about this injustice. People leave, taking with them their secret worlds that can never be revived. Such irrevocability makes the lyrical hero want to scream. Of course, what remains from creative people are books and canvases, from workers - cars and bridges. Something remains, but something necessarily leaves the earth forever. From this Yevtushenko deduces the eternal law of existence, merciless and immutable, - “not people die, but worlds.”
The main means of artistic expression in a poem are rhetorical questions and exclamations, ellipses, and lexical repetitions. With the help of them, Evgeniy Aleksandrovich focuses the readers’ attention on the most important thoughts. For example: We remember people, sinful and earthly. What did we really know about them? The poem is written in simple language - there are no sophisticated words or complex metaphors in it. Yevtushenko’s lyrics are able to penetrate the heart of almost any person; it is not for nothing that she had millions of fans in her time, and even now she has not lost her relevance.
