This article explores the key motifs of M. Gorky's autobiographical novella "My Universities"—the quest for inner freedom and the development of the protagonist's protest consciousness against the backdrop of social injustice in Russia at the end of the 19th century. The author analyzes how the clash of Alyosha Peshkov's youthful ideals with the harsh reality of the lower classes of society transforms into a conscious rebellion and a search for ways to rebuild the world. Particular attention is given to the characters of folk avengers, self-taught philosophers, and revolutionary intelligentsia encountered along the protagonist's journey.
