"Idyllic," or "Идиллия" in Russian, was conceived in August 1860, with work continuing between 1861 and 1862. This composition remained unfinished, with only three fragments preserved: "Tikhon and Malanya," "It's good earnings, but sin comes from it," and "Don't play with fire - you'll get burned". The author himself outlined the plot, stating that its characters, driven by self-preservation, come to believe that only criminal unreliability can shield them from political unreliability, leading them to form unsavory connections and engage in vulgar acts.
