A poetic gift is not a guarantee of a steady income and often cannot feed a poet. A poet, especially a beginner, has to combine poetic creativity with other occupations, sometimes having nothing to do with literature. Poets are not neglected and trade. The question of whether a poet and a merchant can coexist in one person does not have an unequivocal answer. Everything depends on the personality of the person, on the concrete-historical conditions, on the circumstances in which the poet lives and creates. Within the framework of this article we will consider the question of how the trade activity influenced the life of two Voronezh poets of the first half of the XIX century - Alexei Vasilievich Koltsov (1809 - 1842) and Ivan Savvich Nikitin (1824 - 1861).

The article shows that in recent years the Russian Federation has sought to pay more attention to the protection of its spiritual and moral values and cultural heritage.

One of the key areas of Russia’s policy is the protection of Russian identity, Russian sport and the Russian Orthodox Church. Russia is ready to cooperate with all sane forces of the West and does not seek isolation from it.
