G. Heine's fame spread to all continents of Europe. He was especially popular and loved in our country, where he became known since the 30s of the 19th century. " This was barely whether Not most popular foreign poet V Russia» , wrote Turgenev. There was not a single educated Russian reader who had not read something from Heine, and almost not a single Russian poet who had not translated two or three of his poems.
Heine's first translator in Russia was Tyutchev.
_
The young Russian diplomat Fyodor Tyutchev was married to one of the famous beauties of Munich, Countess EleanorBotmer, and Heine was in love with his 19-year-old younger sister-in-law Clotilde(Tyutchev’s first love), often visited his house, they were friends. Tyutchev translated several poems by Heine from his “ Bookssongs».
_
Clotilde Botmer, addressee of Tyutchev's poem "I Met You..."
_
Once Clotilde drew the attention of her Russian friend to one poem in the collection “ TragediesWithlyricalintermezzo", which began with the line " Ein
Fichtenbaum
steht
einsam.
.." The poems were permeated with a feeling of melancholy of two separated lovers. Fyodor Ivanovich also liked it, and he translated a poem by an unknown person German poet.
_
In the gloomy north, on a wild rock
The lonely cedar turns white under the snow,
And he fell asleep sweetly in the frosty darkness,
And the blizzard cherishes his sleep.
_
He keeps dreaming about the young palm tree,
What in distant limits East,
Under a fiery sky, on a sultry hill
Stands and blooms, alone...
_
Poem " WITHstrangersides» will be included in domestic literature, becoming the first publication of Heine's poetry in Russian. (Later we will recognize him in translations by Lermontov, Fet, Maykov.) And Tyutchev and Clotilde will meet the author of the poem only two years later.

If the first translators (Tyutchev, Lermontov, Fet, Blok, Annensky) emphasized the romantic beginning of Heine’s poetry, then the translators of the second half of the 19th century were more often attracted by Heine the satirist. But the poet himself combined both: his lyrical cycles are often constructed in such a way that in some poems the lyrical hero reveals himself as an obvious romantic, while in others - as an inveterate cynic. Often both are combined in one poem, and the dreamer lyrical hero V last stanza the author’s mercilessly ironic sarcasm overtakes:
_
And roses on my darling's cheeks,
And her forget-me-not eyes,
And white lilies, little hands,
Everything is blooming fresh and more luxuriantly...
Only her heart withered!
_
Or vice versa: it begins with sarcasm and ends with a piercing lyrical note:
_
Having put on richer frock coats,
townsfolk walk in the forest,
frolic in calf delight
and glorify nature's beauty.
_
And their souls drown in the bliss,
The romantic valley is blooming!
And they listen with open ears,
as the goldfinch chirps in the thicket.
_
And I'll close my windows
from the light with black cloth,
my ghosts sometimes
They visit me during the day too.
_
Former love comes
to me from forgotten days,
sits down with me, sobbing,
and I cry with her.

Epilogue
_
« But my spirit will continue to live.”
_
One of last poems Heine, translated by Tyutchev:
_
The fly arrived on Sunday (they didn’t let it in either on Friday or Saturday). The nurse opened the door, tears streaming down her face. Mushka was allowed to say goodbye to the dead body. She remembered him" pale face, whose regular features resembled the purest works of Greek art".
Heine was buried according to his will in the Montmartre cemetery on a high hill overlooking Paris.
_
_
"This will be my last apartment with a view of eternity", he joked.
Mushka was forbidden to go to the funeral, " to, - as she wrote , - my grief was not used by others as material for gossip" But don't carry it out last way she could not.
They walked behind the coffin of the German poet A. Dumas, sobbing bitterly, Théophile Gautier, other celebrities, and behind them all crept a small, stooped figure. " I hid behind them, not at all trying to follow all the details, but I could hear the ropes being brought under the coffin, and it seemed to me as if the ropes were wrapping around my own heart." And the lines dedicated to her rang in my ears:
_
I lay down in the grave - my flesh decays,
but my spirit will continue to live...
_-
They were from his poem " Mushke", which ended with the order: " And you must live what I lived - my spirit has bewitched you" Mushka fulfilled the order. She lived by words, lived German language, and all four decades that fate gave her after him, she taught this beautiful language to children. All these 40 years until 1896 she lived with this love.

Eliza Krinitz (Mushka)
_
And Matilda died on the anniversary of her husband’s death on February 17, 1883, exactly 27 years after Heine’s death.
_
_
She was standing at the window of her apartment and suddenly fell, never to get up again. Perhaps at that moment she also recalled Heine’s poems dedicated to her:
_
My hand is giving out. As seen,
Death is approaching. And it's such a shame
That's the end of all pastoralism!
At your right hand, O creator,
I place my staff. Keep it
When I finish my earthly days,
My little sheep. All the thorns
Sweep her from her earthly path.
Don't let her get lost in the forests,
In the swamps where the fleece gets dirty,
Always drink clear water,
Feed on the greenest grass,
And let her be carefree, cheerful,
She sleeps like she slept in my house...

Heinrich Heine entered Russian culture and became an integral part of it. He introduced new poetic meters into our poetry, thanks to him the music of Russian verse has changed in many ways. Many Russian poets dedicated poems to him. Here are just four lines from the poem Lev Mei « In memory of Heine»:
_
Singer! You didn't live long -
and there was no strength to live.
But he will always pick flowers
love from your grave.
