The author believed that writing for people needed to be in a clear and familiar language. This way he wrote the moral-didactic essay "Letters to Kind Fellow Countrymen". In the work in the spirit of educational ideas he made an attempt to rationally explain the social and state system; a lot of attention is paid to the issues of morality, the inner life of rural community, individual aspects of organizing folk life.
