The novel Oblomov (1859) by Ivan Goncharov is considered one of the most important Russian classics of the nineteenth century, along with the novels of Dostoyevsky and Turgenev. The importance of this novel lies in the fact that an important term was derived from the name of its hero, Oblomov, entitled Oblomovism, which refers to the tendency of laziness and laziness experienced by the hero of the novel. The leader of the Russian Revolution, Lenin, admired it when he read it because it condemned the aristocracy. No novel by famous literary figures such as Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, and Tolstoy has ever derived a term from their novels, despite their fame. Pisarev, commenting on Goncharov''s novel Oblomov, wrote: The term Oblomovism will remain alive and immortal in Russian literature. The use of this term will go beyond the borders of the vast Russian regions to become a general, comprehensive, and widely used term. Goncharov was able to clearly and accurately reveal the social meaning and deep historical roots of the phenomenon of Oblomovism and clarify Its danger and negative impact on the overall process of social development in Russia. Over the course of fifty years of his literary activity, Ivan Goncharov succeeded in writing three novels: Oblomov and A Common Story - 1847 and The Cliff - 1869. He also left behind a collection of short stories and a book containing a charming account of his voyage to Japan as a member of a naval expedition entitled Frigate Pallas: Memoirs of a Voyage - 1858.
