...But, with all this kind simplicity, it did not take much observation to see in him a person who had seen a lot and, as they say, “experienced.” He behaved boldly, self-confidently, although without unpleasant swagger, and spoke in a pleasant bass voice with a demeanor.

“It all means nothing,” he began, lazily and softly releasing word after word from under his thick, upward, hussar-like gray mustache. - I don’t accept what you say about the other world for suicides, that they will never say goodbye. And that there seems to be no one to pray for them is also a nonsense, because there is a person who can correct their entire situation in the easiest manner.

He was asked: who is this person who knows and corrects the affairs of suicides after their death?

But someone, sir,” answered the hero-monk, “there is a priest in the Moscow diocese in one village - a bitter drunkard who was almost stripped of his hair - that’s how he wields them.”

How do you know this?

And have mercy, sir, I’m not the only one who knows this, but everyone in the Moscow district knows about it, because this matter went through the Most Reverend Metropolitan Philaret himself.

There was a short pause, and someone said that this was all rather doubtful.

Chernorizets was not at all offended by this remark and answered:

Yes, sir, at first glance it is so, sir, doubtful. And is it surprising that it seems dubious to us, when even His Eminence themselves did not believe it for a long time, and then, having received proof that was true, they saw that it was impossible not to believe it, and believed it?

The passengers pestered the monk with a request to tell him this wonderful story, and he did not refuse it and began the following:

The story goes that one dean once wrote to his Eminence, saying, “So and so, this priest is a terrible drunkard, he drinks wine and is not fit for the parish.” And this report, in one essence, was fair. Vladyko ordered this priest to be sent to them in Moscow. They looked at him and saw that this priest really was a drinker, and decided that he had no place to be. The priest became upset and even stopped drinking, and he was still mortified and mourning: “What, he thinks, have I brought myself to, and what else can I do now, if not lay hands on myself? This is the only thing left for me, he says: then, at least, the bishop will take pity on my unfortunate family and give the groom’s daughters so that he can take my place and feed my family.” That’s good: so he decided to finish himself urgently and set the day for that, but only because he was a man kind soul, then I thought: “Okay; I’ll die, let’s say, I’ll die, but I’m not a beast: I’m not without a soul - where will my soul go then? And from this hour he began to grieve even more. Well, good: he grieves and grieves, but the bishop decided that he should be left without a place for his drunkenness, and one day after a meal they lay down on the sofa with a book to rest and fell asleep. Well, good: they fell asleep or just dozed off, when suddenly they see the doors to their cell opening. They called out: “Who’s there?”, because they thought that the servant had come to report to them about someone; And instead of the servant, they look - an old man enters, very kind, and his master now recognizes that it is the Monk Sergius.

Vladyka and they say:

“Is it you, Most Holy Father Sergius?”

And the saint replies:

“I, servant of God Filaret.”

The Lord is asked:

“What does your purity want from my unworthiness?”

And Saint Sergius answers:

“I want mercy.”

“Who will you command to show it to?”

And the saint named the priest who was deprived of his place for drunkenness, and he himself left; and the master woke up and thought: “What is this to be attributed to: is it a simple dream, or a daydream, or a spiritual vision?” And they began to reflect and, as a man of intellect renowned throughout the world, they found that this was a simple dream, because is it sufficient that Saint Sergius, a faster and guardian of a good, strict life, interceded for a weak priest who lived his life with negligence? Well, okay: His Eminence reasoned this way and left the whole matter to its natural course, as it had begun, and they themselves spent the time as they should have, and went back to bed at the proper hour. But they had just fallen asleep again when the vision came again, and such that great spirit The rulers were plunged into even greater confusion. You can imagine: the roar... such a terrible roar that nothing can express it... They gallop... they have no number, how many knights... they rush, all in green attire, armor and feathers, and the horses are like lions, black, and in front of them is a proud stratopedarch in the same dress, and wherever he waves the dark banner, everyone jumps there, and there are snakes on the banner. The Vladyka does not know what this train is for, but this proud man commands: “Torment them,” he says, “now their prayer book is gone,” and galloped past; and behind this stratopedar - his warriors, and behind them, like a flock of skinny spring geese, boring shadows stretched, and everyone nodded to the ruler sadly and pitifully, and everyone quietly moaned through their crying: “Let him go! “He alone prays for us.” Vladyka deigned to get up, now they send for the drunken priest and ask: how and for whom is he praying? And the priest, due to spiritual poverty, was completely at a loss before the saint and said: “I, Vladyka, am doing what I’m supposed to do.” And by force his Eminence got him to obey: “I am guilty,” he says, “of one thing, that he himself, having mental weakness and thinking out of despair that better than life to deprive myself, I always pray at the holy proskomedia for those who died without repentance and laid hands on themselves...” Well, then the bishop realized that the shadows before him in the vision were swimming like skinny geese, and did not want to please those demons who ahead of them they hurried with destruction, and blessed the priest: “Go,” they deigned to say, “and do not sin, but for whom you prayed, pray,” and again they sent him to his place. So he, this kind of person, can always be useful to such people who cannot stand the struggle of life, because he will not retreat from the audacity of his calling and will always bother the creator for them, and he will have to forgive them...

Help me write an essay based on the text. I beg you, I will be in debt all my life and I will repay it by helping you. Here is the text: Exactly eight centuries ago there was

a campaign was undertaken that ended in failure; and so it happened that the memory of him became a precious asset for Russian culture. We all remember from school how bitterly the Novgorod-Seversk prince Igor Svyatoslavich had to pay for his reluctance to share the glory of victory with other princes. There was neither victory nor glory, the warriors died in vain on the banks of Kayala, about which it is still not known what kind of river it was, but the very name of which sounds mysterious and menacing to our ears, as if ancient curse. The prince experienced the fate of a prisoner, and if he still managed to escape, it was not easy either - he abandoned his warriors, his comrades in misfortune, to the mercy of fate. The Ipatiev Chronicle tells how he initially swore off escaping: “...Imam will not go to the ignorant in the dark.” He thought so much about fame, and there was no other way left for him to be free except the “unglorious” one. Well, historians will explain how typical the conflict was for the era between the personal pride of the feudal lord, who waged his war, undertook his campaign, and the duty of the commander, the statesman to his entire native land. Philologists will add how such a collision manifested itself in one or the other medieval literature, - let us recall, for example, Beorthnot, Duke of Essex and hero of the epic of the Battle of Maldon, who, by refusing to negotiate with the Vikings and by an inappropriate demonstration of arrogant generosity in the way of warfare, brought death to his squad and misfortune to his people. All this is not surprising. Another thing is surprising - that eight centuries later we remember the year 1185 as one of the most glorious milestones of our historical legend. Glory appeared, although not at all the kind that the prince dreamed of, and not the kind that one gets for oneself, but the one that belongs to the entire circle of cultural and life tradition, which accepts more and more generations. The experience of the defeat of Prince Igor was so processed and comprehended by the creative conscience of Russian literature that it is already relevant to the most important matter: for Russia to come true as a spiritual phenomenon. Here is the story of the same Ipatiev Chronicle about the circumstances of Igor’s captivity. The prince is in the hands of enemies: what is he thinking about - about himself, about his humiliated pride? No, about brother Vsevolod, whom he sees in the thick of the battle, “fighting hard.” He is not possessed by the rage of a brave predator caught in a trap, but by pity and concern for another. What thoughts does his captivity lead to? With a feeling of guilt, he recalls the grief that he himself caused to others when, in an internecine war, he gave up the city of Glebov for plunder. It would seem that what’s wrong with that - during times of strife, almost everyone did this, and it is very likely that Igor’s act was only a response to similar actions of Vladimir Pereyaslavsky. From the point of view of feudal ethics, everything is correct. But no, his own misfortune awakens in the hero sensitivity to the misfortune of others and to his own guilt. This is a remarkable feature for which there is hardly any analogue in any of the literature of that era. It seems that we have the right to see in her a sign of Russian character. When a knight of another country would seek compensation for his failure in proud isolation, Prince Igor is not afraid to feel guilty and allows suffering to bring him to the point of conscience and pity. For contrast: such a “mirror of chivalry” as Richard the Lionheart hardly came to mind during his eighteen months of captivity the misfortunes of the innocent victims of his wars, including those that he waged against his own father - at least according to legend is silent about this. The intonation of pity sounds in "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" as, perhaps, in no other work heroic epic. Of course, great epic poetry at all times and among all peoples was not at all what conquerors and predators would like it to be. Contrary to Nietzsche, she ultimately spoke strikingly little about “spoils and victory”; she sang not of luck, but of courage, and was therefore attentive to the suffering in the face of which courage realizes itself.

what is the problem with the text? (1) This was Katya’s first real fight. (2) Artillery preparation began before dawn, under its cover they occupied

starting positions. (3) Letters were written the night before. (4) Only Katya had nowhere to write: all her relatives had died. (5) So, in fact, she had nothing to lose in battle - except own life. (6) But she, a young girl, after the suffering she had endured, unfortunately, no longer valued her much. (7) And here it is, the battle. (8) The tank they were in was shaking from side to side, shaking so much that Katya could barely stay in the seat. (9) “If this continues, how can we shoot?” - she thought. (10) Although her job was not to aim the cannon, but to fire shells. (11) Growling painfully, the cars stubbornly climbed up, from the engines running at full speed, the heat was utter, it still smelled of diesel fuel, it was filled with exhaust gases, fresh air pulled only through the technical gaps and the viewing slot. (12) Then something began to chirp along the tank’s armor, which was hot from the battle, but Katya did not immediately realize that they were being fired upon. (13) Everything further merged for her into continuous roar, smoke, screams in the intercom. (14) They hit us with sub-caliber shells, armor-piercing incendiary shells, and fragmentation shells. (15) Katya did not understand what was happening outside; she could not yet determine the situation by the types of shells she was firing. (16) She only heard a roar; she, such a fragile and small girl, was jerked along with the huge machine. (17) Oddly enough, Katya did not feel fear at all: she had trouble understanding what was what, she only heard commands and carried them out. (18) The battle went on as if on its own, and she was on her own. (19) And then suddenly something unexpected and wild happened: the car seemed to fall through, after which Katya was thrown up, hit painfully from above, the inside of the tank was now filled with a completely unbearable heat and heavy carbon monoxide odors, and then in an instant the lampshades went out. (20) The commander opened the turret hatch cover, Katya squeezed in after him. (21) It turned out that the tank had fallen into a bomb crater, and it was impossible to get out without outside help. (22) Katya remembered how many times they were reminded, repeated, demanded to repeat out loud the iron law: if a tank is hit but not on fire, the crew is obliged to protect the military equipment to the end. (23) And Katya prepared to fight to the end, because it was hers military duty. (24) At that moment she saw the Germans: they were as close as ever, almost next to each other, running, firing from Schmeissers. (25) “That’s it,” thought Katya, “now it’s over.” (26) But, oddly enough, even now she did not feel fear: everything that was happening around this young woman, from whom the war had taken away her youth, family, and dreams of happy life... (27) Katya pulled the chain of the revolver plug, stuck the snout of the machine gun into the hole and began to hit, without seeing the Germans, at random, and waited: now, just about... (28) For some reason she saw: the clock on the instrument panel had stopped - it was nine hours twenty minutes. (29) He and the commander fought back and saved the tank, but Genk’s mechanic died. (30) In September forty-four, Sergeant Ekaterina Mushkina, awarded the order, became a tank commander. (31) Not a wife, not a mother, not a keeper of the family hearth - a tank commander.

Nikolai Semenovich Leskov

The text is printed according to the edition:

Leskov N. S. Collection Op.: In 6 volumes. Moscow: Pravda, 1973.

Preface

Nikolai Semenovich Leskov was born on February 4, 1831 in the Oryol province. “Our family, in fact, comes from the clergy... My grandfather, priest Dimitry Leskov, and his father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all priests in the village of Leski. From this village of Leski came our family surname – the Leskovs.”

However, the writer’s father, Semyon Dmitrievich, having graduated from the seminary, decided not to continue family tradition, for which his grandfather kicked him out of the house (traits of his grandfather will appear in the main character of the novel “Soboryan”, Archpriest Savelia Tuberozov). Having chosen a career as a judicial officer, Semyon Dmitrievich remained an honest, disinterested man all his life, in the service he was distinguished by “firmness of convictions, because of which he made a lot of enemies,” and rose to the rank of collegiate assessor, which gave the right to hereditary nobility.

Leskov noted in his autobiography: “I have had religiosity since childhood, and quite a happy one at that, that is, one that early in me began to reconcile faith with reason. I think that I owe a lot to my father here too. Mother was also religious, but in a purely church way - she read akathists at home and every first day she served prayer services and observed what consequences this had in the circumstances of life. Her father did not stop her from believing as she wanted, but he himself rarely went to church and did not perform any rituals except confession and holy communion... He was undoubtedly a believer and a Christian, but if he were to be examined according to Philaret’s catechism, it would hardly be possible recognize him as Orthodox."

He recalled his first meeting with great literature as follows: “In the village I lived in complete freedom, which I used as I wanted. My peers were peasant children, with whom I lived and got along soul to soul. I knew the life of the common people down to the smallest detail and understood to the smallest nuances how they treated it from the big manor house, from our “small chicken house,” from the inn and from the priesthood. Therefore, when I had the opportunity to read I. S. Turgenev’s “Notes of a Hunter” for the first time, I trembled all over from the truth of the ideas and immediately understood what is called art.”

Nikolai Semenovich first followed in his father’s footsteps - at the age of 16 he went to work at the Oryol judicial chamber. Two years later he was transferred to Kyiv, where he attended lectures at the university as a volunteer, studied Polish language, participated in a religious and philosophical student group and even became interested in icon painting. After leaving the service, Leskov began working in the company of his aunt’s husband, A. Ya. Shkott (Scott), Shkott and Wilkens. On official business he had to travel a lot around Russian Empire. Later he would write: “I think that I know the Russian man to his very depths, and I do not take any credit for this. I didn’t study the people from conversations with St. Petersburg cab drivers, but I grew up among the people...”

After the company closed, Leskov moved to St. Petersburg. That's where it started writing career. In 1863, his first stories “The Life of a Woman” and “Musk Ox” were published. They were soon followed by “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk” and “Warrior”. Already in these early works The writer's unique fairy-tale style emerged. Leskov’s “tale” received the most expressive embodiment in the story “The Sealed Angel,” where echoes of ancient Russian “walkings” and legends about miraculous icons are heard.

By the time of the creation of the novel “Soborians” (1872), according to Maxim Gorky, “ literary creativity Leskova. becomes bright painting or, rather, iconography.” Creating a gallery of bright ones positive characters was continued by the writer in a collection of stories published under common name"The Righteous" ("Figure", "Man on the Clock", " Non-lethal Golovan”, etc.) As critics later noted, Leskov’s righteous people are united by “straightforwardness, fearlessness, heightened conscientiousness, and inability to come to terms with evil.”

According to the memoirs of the writer’s son, Andrei Nikolaevich Leskov, Nikolai Semenovich believed that by creating cycles about “Russian antiquities,” he was fulfilling Gogol’s will from “Selected Passages from Correspondence with Friends”: “Glorify the unnoticed worker in a solemn hymn.” In the preface to the first of these stories, “Odnodum,” the writer explained their appearance as follows: “It’s terrible and unbearable... to see one “rubbish” in the Russian soul, which has become the main subject new literature, And. I went to look for the righteous."

In this “search for the righteous,” Nikolai Semenovich repeatedly turned to stories from the “Prologue.” “Prologue” is the name of a collection of Christian parables that came to us from Byzantium and supplemented with new stories during Ancient Rus'. The writer recounted many stories from the Prologue literary language XIX century, and in addition, he himself created many stories that can rightfully be called “Modern Prologue”. Each of these works reveals to the reader how the Lord, through His Providence, sometimes through difficult trials, leads people to salvation and understanding of the gospel truth.

IN last years life Nikolai Semenovich became a close friend of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, which was reflected both in his work and in his attitude towards Orthodox Church. However, unlike Tolstoy, Leskov remained an Orthodox Christian until the end of his life.

Nikolai Semenovich Leskov died on March 5, 1895 from an attack of asthma that tormented him for the last five years of his life. He was buried at the Volkov cemetery in St. Petersburg.
