The dominant element in the poetry Zhemchuzhnikova - sincere, . deeply felt and aptly expressed outrage at the public lies: Zhemchuzhnikov is extremely rare in our time an example of a true patriot, . painfully conscious real evil of their country and wish her present good,
. Walking lie, substituting gross national conceit of patriotism and chauvinism, is exposed to the merciless satires Zhemchuzhnikova. In one of them, describing the tattered drunkard, praying at the church porch on the first day of Lent, the poet recalls another "sinner":

. Oh, the rejoicing among us,
. Covered and shame, and sin,
. Our contemporary is not a man!
. He proudly forehead, throwing copper,
. The altar of the motherland poor
. Priest ready

. On this view, oh the sounds!
. Oh, native land, as you dear to me!
. From the long-term separation
. What are the joys and sorrows
. In my heart you awakened!
. Your nature so charming
. She is so modestly good!
. But we, your sons, it is known
. As for your expanse closely
. And in the bond tormented soul ..
