The idea and the beginning of work
The beginning of writing the test took place in Tiflis in 1821-1822. The writer studied the life of a noble society, he studied the environment, attending balls and social receptions. He made notes about the events at the balls, created portraits, marked the main character traits. The notes helped convey the situation so realistically that many characters began to live outside the literary text.

Features of various editions
In Tiflis in 1820, 2 acts of the play were written. There are few differences from the final text. The essence of the plan has not changed. Accusatory satire and showing vices of society. On the estate of S.N.Begichev, Griboedov wrote 3 and 4 acts, but at that time he did not consider that the work on the text was completed.

The text changed, more and more saturated with phrases that became winged. There are edits by A. Pushkin, V. Bulgarin.
