Man pa sis jur. Je ne mange pas sis jour: localization in French box office

(1897-1937) and (1903-1942), part 3, chapter. 39. These words mean French“Gentlemen, I have not eaten for six days” (Je ne mange pas six jours, French). With these words, Kisa Vorobyaninov begged for alms:

" Ostap thoughtfully walked around Ippolit Matveyevich.

Take off your jacket, leader, be quick,” he said unexpectedly.

Ostap took the jacket from the surprised Ippolit Matveyevich's hands, threw it to the ground and began to trample it with dusty boots.

What are you doing? - Vorobyaninov yelled. “I’ve been wearing this jacket for fifteen years, and it’s still like new!”

Don't worry! It won't be as good as new soon! Give me your hat! Now sprinkle your trousers with dust and sprinkle them with narzan. Alive!

Within a few minutes Ippolit Matveyevich became disgustingly dirty.

Now you have matured and acquired the full opportunity to earn money through honest work.

What should I do? - Vorobyaninov asked tearfully.

You know French, I hope?

Very bad. Within the gymnasium course.

Hm... We'll have to operate within these limits. Can you say the following phrase in French: “Gentlemen, I haven’t eaten for six days”?

Monsieur,” Ippolit Matveyevich began, stammering, “Monsieur, um, um... isn’t it, isn’t it, mange pa... six, as it is, en, de, trois, quatre, senc, sis.” .. sis... zhur. Means -- it's not mange pas sis jour!

What a pronunciation you have, Kisa! However, what can you ask from a beggar? Of course, the beggar European Russia speaks French worse than Millerand. Well, Kisulya, to what extent do you know German?

Why do I need all this? - exclaimed Ippolit Matveevich.

Then,” Ostap said weightily, “that you will now go to the “Flower Garden”, stand in the shadows and beg for alms in French, German and Russian, emphasizing the fact that you are a former member of the State Duma from the Cadet faction. All net proceeds will go to fitter Mechnikov. Got it?

Ippolit Matveyevich was instantly transformed. His chest arched like Palace Bridge in Leningrad, his eyes flashed fire, and, as it seemed to Ostap, thick smoke poured out of his nostrils. The mustache slowly began to rise.

Ay-yay-yay,” said great schemer, not at all afraid. -- Look at him. Not a person, but some kind of hunchbacked horse.

Never,” Ippolit Matveevich suddenly began to ventriloquize, “never has Vorobyaninov extended his hand...

So stretch your legs, you old fool! - shouted Ostap. “You didn’t extend your hands?”

Didn't hold out.

How do you like this gigoloism? He lives on my account for three months! For three months I have been feeding him, singing and raising him, and this gigolo is now in third position and declares that he... Well! Enough, comrade! One of two things: either you go to the Flower Garden right now and bring ten rubles by evening, or I will automatically exclude you from the number of shareholders-concessionaires. I count to five. Yes or no? Once...

Yes,” muttered the leader.

In this case, repeat the spell.

Monsieur, it’s not mange pas sis jour. Goeben mir zi bitte etvas kopek auf dem stück ford. Give something to the former State Duma deputy.

Again. More pathetic.

Ippolit Matveevich repeated.

OK then. Your talent for begging has been ingrained since childhood. Go. Meeting at the spring at midnight. This, keep in mind, is not for romance, but they simply serve more in the evening."

The phrase "Zhe ne mange pas sis jour" in the cinema

Usually my notes are devoted to issues of economics, finance, savings and similar topics, but in this one I would like to talk about modern Russian education. The reason for this was an accident. The child of one of my friends, together with about one and a half hundred of our young talents, took the test upon admission to training courses to Moscow State University. There would be nothing special about this if it were not for the results of how far from the worst representatives of the Russian younger generation passed this test. I confess that personally they shocked me to the core. Of several pages of testing results, only the very first was taken for our consideration, since in subsequent pages the picture is, by and large, no different from it.

So, first about the testing conditions. Applicants took tests in Russian and English languages and mathematics. The Russian language test was worth 20 points, and for each error 1 point was deducted. Ten math problems were worth 20 points with each problem worth 2 points, and 100 English problems were worth 100 points with 1 point deducted for each error. As a test in the Russian language, there was a text on 2/3 of an A4 page, in which it was necessary to correct the errors that were there.

First, let's talk about the positive, so to speak. Mathematics is still somehow taught in our schools. There were even guys who completed the proposed tasks without errors. That's a plus. Perhaps all is not lost in this area of knowledge. In the same time average level knowledge in mathematics in the group under consideration is at the level of 11.78 points or slightly above the average. If we recall the traditional scale of marks of the Soviet school, then 1 point is equal to 4 points of this test. It turns out that the average level of mathematics knowledge of our schoolchildren seeking to enroll in preparatory courses at Moscow State University is at the level of the Soviet “C-minus”.

Knowledge in English among those who took this test, on average, even a little better. This is 59 points out of 100 (or almost the Soviet “three”), although no one’s result reached the full “five”. At most they were “B minus”.

As for the knowledge of the Russian language by our schoolchildren, and from this we can draw a completely logical conclusion about the level of its teaching in schools, then this is not even a problem... This is a real disaster. Of the 37 people who took this test, 21 had a result that exceeded zero. Only two people from this list scored 14 points, while the worst result was -26 points. Yes Yes. For each mistake made, 1 point was deducted, which means that 46 mistakes were made on 2/3 of the page of Russian text. Perhaps someone will say that this is an exception to the rule, but what about the remaining 15 applicants who showed either zero or negative results? There were simply no marks to evaluate their training in the Soviet school.

Of course, teaching Russian in Russian school It has not yet reached the level where four mistakes are made in the word “yet”, but based on the way things are and are developing, there is no limit to perfection, and such results are just a matter of the near future.

The result of this is simple and frankly sad. The knowledge of the Russian language of more than 40% of Russian schoolchildren (according to the results of testing) is not only at zero, but at a deeply negative level. As a result, the average level of knowledge of the Russian language for the entire group examined is 2.1 points on this test, or “1 minus” on the old Soviet scale.

The results of this testing provide plenty of food for thought. Perhaps only the lazy do not say that Russian education has sharply degraded over the past years. However, if conversations on this topic are often of an emotional (qualitative) nature, the author of this note has never personally come across quantitative (in numbers) results. They are seen by teachers of higher educational institutions, but they usually do not come to the attention of the general public.

What conclusions can be drawn from these quantitative results beyond the theme of the complete degradation of the secondary education system? First of all, this is the conclusion that Russian schoolchildren know English better than their native language. Perhaps the results would be somewhat different if everyone who took Russian took English at the same time, but we have what we have. Future applicants barely know English, but they don’t know Russian at all. This is an even more important conclusion that can be drawn from the test. And this is not just a sad phenomenon, it is a real tragedy.

The native language and its knowledge are the most important elements, defining the people and the nation. And when even the best representatives of the younger generation (it’s unlikely that anyone else will try to enroll at Moscow State University) don’t know him, then what can we say about everyone else?

Over the past years, the secondary education system has been “reformed” in such a way as to tear the growing youth of our country away from their roots and traditions, so that they forget what country they live in and what they are an integral part of.

The former Minister of Education, who made his gigantic contribution to the collapse of the education system operating in the Soviet Union, and now the President's adviser on these issues, did not hide the fact that the main task facing him was to reform the education system so that it would educate the consumer - a slave to purchases . There was no talk of her giving any knowledge. Knowledge is not only unnecessary for slaves, it is downright harmful. The main thing was that the slaves were healthy and strong, so the main emphasis in schools began to be on physical education.

Another equally important area, about which former minister did not spread, it was and, apparently, still remains, the education in the younger generation not so much of patriotism and love for their country, but of a layer of those who are usually called “citizens of the world.” This is a deceptive name that misleads the general public who are not interested in going into details. These people believe that freedom and the ability to move around the world makes them “citizens of the world.” However, this is just their opinion.

For those in power, and these are primarily representatives of international financial capital, a “citizen of the world” is a person without clan and tribe, who does not remember his relatives, his homeland, his language and the past. He is a unit of labor (a worker, a scientist or a well-paid terrorist) that can be transferred from one country to another at any time, undermining the national traditions of the local society and the state sovereignty of each individual country. It is used as long as it is needed, and if it is no longer needed, it can be thrown away at any moment. He is completely controllable, since he is absolutely dependent on his employer and is isolated from his homeland, his native society and culture.

It is precisely such a person, as can be seen from the results of this testing, that is now being raised by Russian system secondary education. He has a mediocre knowledge of English, which gives him some opportunity to explain himself abroad and to some extent understand what foreign masters will want from him, and practically does not know his native language, which effectively separates him from his homeland and makes him a “citizen of the world.”

The current Russian government is not at all interested in ensuring that the country's population is literate and has at least some real knowledge. In order to be a raw material appendage and pump oil and gas abroad, it is enough to have a few qualified workers (engineers and specialists can be invited from abroad). The rest are given an excellent opportunity to look for some kind of work as a worker or salesperson in a supermarket, a waiter in a tavern, a taxi driver or a messenger delivering food. An ignorant crowd who do not know their own native language, nor its history, it is much easier to manage than smart and educated people. This is precisely why modern Russian education is in such a dire situation.

Collapse and degradation Russian education– this is an active measure to decompose our society and a very specific action aimed at the further collapse of our country. And if approaches to education, as well as to many other things, are not radically revised in the very near future (which is unlikely, given the composition of this government), then the likelihood of such a tragic event for our country will only grow every year. To prevent this, and also to educate smart, truly educated future citizens of our great country, is the most important tasks all healthy forces of Russian society.

Lezhava, Alexander

Member of the editorial board, special correspondent of the newspaper " Modern school Russia." Author of the book "The Collapse of "Money" or How to Protect Your Savings in a Crisis" (published by the Book World publishing house in 2009) and "Entertaining Economics."

My boss, a deputy, like many deputies, periodically takes part in various charity events. There is a small special fund to finance such events. Since citizens often turn to a deputy specifically for money, as if to some kind of mutual aid fund, the fund never becomes overfilled. Most of requests are of a dubious nature, such as “I invested all my money in MMM, now the bank is evicting me from my apartment. But I found a way out - poker. But I also lost at poker. I need 50 thousand to recoup.” or “I decided to change my life, start a private enterprise, quit my job, passed psychological training and bought a batch of goods. Now the goods are not for sale, and the money has run out. Give me 100 thousand to complete a new training that will tell me what to do in such situations.” Of course, we refuse such requests.

Here are some more examples of recent cash demands:

1. A citizen wants to drop leaflets over the city from a helicopter in support of Pussy Riot. He asks for money to rent a helicopter. He had already made handwritten leaflets. About 100 pieces. They refused. He said that he knew it, a bloody regime and the strangulation of democracy. He could not explain the reason why leaflets should be dropped from a helicopter. Apparently he just wants to ride a helicopter.

2. The citizen asked cash for the purchase of a homeopathic medicine. The course costs 50 thousand. She's been taking it for a year now, but it hasn't helped. I went to the homeopath again. The homeopath said that it is necessary to reduce the dosage and extend the course. The citizen does not have her own money, her pension is small. They refused. She said that she would complain about us to the prosecutor's office. Flag in hand, given the address of the prosecutor's office.

3. The citizen bet with his drinking companion that he could bite his own elbow. I bet on an apartment. I couldn't bite my elbow. As a gentleman true to his word, he “resigned” the apartment to the citizen who won the bet. Now he has nowhere to live and asks for help in finding housing. They sent D'Artagnan to the city administration.

4. Numerous businessmen who went bankrupt in the distribution of various (“natural”, “natural”, “homeopathic”, “nano-.,” “bioenergetic” and other exotic) cosmetics. As a rule, they offer to buy stale goods, or to shake out the money paid for cosmetics from the supplier.

5. Some active lady. She said that she represented a group of fans who delegated her to the Olympics in London. She asked me to pay for a plane ticket to London and a visit sporting events. When asked what the deputy had to do with her entertainment abroad, she found it difficult to answer. He suggested that she take a souvenir compass with party symbols. She was offended and said that she would tell everyone about the callousness of the authorities. I agree, let it be.

6. Citizen, intends to participate in auto racing. He said that we needed financing for the purchase of a sports car. He had already looked at the car, it was used, but the price was ridiculous, only one and a half million. He loves speed and has no doubts about his victory.

7. Somewhere in the Moscow region a stud farm is being liquidated. A citizen came and asked for money to buy one of the horses being liquidated. He intends to use the horse in entrepreneurial activity(rent for short-term for reproduction). The deputy promised to ride a horse through the city streets for free, and to attach election propaganda to the saddle.

8.Industrialist artist. Creates canvases from scrap metal, canvas and rope. The game is rare. Complains about cramped living conditions, asks to allocate a studio of at least two hundred square meters necessary for creativity square meters. He is ready to save us from the agony of searching for a studio, suitable apartment(a penthouse on the top floor of an elite house with a terrace) he already had his eye on. I’m even ready (appreciate the generosity!) not to register ownership of the apartment, but just to use it for work and living.

9. A citizen raises chickens. He said that he had invented a device for generating electricity from chicken droppings, which would make his chicken farming completely environmentally friendly and autonomous. We need money to create a prototype of the unit. We didn't give any money. The story continued. The local power company complained that a citizen was not paying his electricity bill, even though his farm was lit up at night. The farmer replied that he was not only a chicken breeder, but also an inventor, he built an electrochemical generator using chicken droppings and now he meant energy drinks. The power engineers showed themselves to be people of principle and discovered a secret cable of illegal connection to power lines, skillfully disguised with chicken excrement. After disconnecting the specified cable, the chicken shit reactor stopped generating electricity. Energy engineers write statement of claim to the court and usually to the police. A man writes letters to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the European Court of Human Rights, Greenpeace and the UN.

Russian audiences know Kisa Vorobyaninov, “a giant of thought, the father of Russian democracy and a person close to the emperor,” from two productions - by Leonid Gaidai and Mark Zakharov. Both films became iconic...

As for Kisa, whose role was brilliantly performed by Anatoly Papanov and Sergey Filippov, some of his phrases became catchphrases. The brightest of them are in our selection.

This spoiled May, this sorcerer May blows his fresh fan!..”

“Perhaps you, Holy Father, are a party member?”

“This is a robbery in broad daylight!”

“I think bargaining is inappropriate here!”

“Monsieur, it’s not mange pas sis jour. Goeben mir zi bitte etvas kopek auf dem stück ford. Give something to the former State Duma deputy"

“Hold him! He stole our sausage!

“Let's go, let's go to the rooms!”

“You flatter me, you naughty girl!”

“Waiter, champagne! Hams!

“How old are you? - To the science that I'm into this moment I imagine it has nothing to do with it."

“How much are your pickled cucumbers? - Pyatak! - Okay, give me two!

"Never! Never before has Vorobyaninov extended his hand! “So stretch your legs, you old fool!”

From the transcript of V.V. Putin’s meeting with faction leaders:

V. ZHIRINOVSKY: Personnel issue regarding Borodin. The manager was busy. A man sits without a pension. Is there some way to solve this here? Now there is a decree signed by you, prepared by Golikova. At the beginning of this law, he was equal to the head of the Presidential Administration. Now there is a man left who worked so much, practically receives a regular pension, and held a position that is listed everywhere as a nomenklatura. And Golikova didn’t turn it on. I included all the positions, but forgot about him, because he is alone, only one position. Maybe we can see how it is possible?

G. ZYUGANOV: Vladimir Vladimirovich, support Borodin, this is correct. By the way, he was one of the best mayors in Yakutsk in his time.

V. PUTIN: I heard, I noted.

V. ZHIRINOVSKY: I will tell you. All materials are ready, all calculations are ready.

G. ZYUGANOV: Just support. He worked all his life.

V. ZHIRINOVSKY: The lawyers did their work, that is, just give it to Golikova so that she could include him in this list, and that’s all. Three lines.

As recently as April of this year I saw the starving Pal Palych in Montecatini Terme. The starving man was cheerful and rosy-cheeked. He brought his entire large family on vacation. He settled the entire crowd in the most expensive five-star hotel, Grand Hotel e La Pace, and he himself lived in the same presidential suite where Svetlana Medvedeva lived a month earlier. When I saw Pal Palych, I was really happy for him. After all, not so long ago, after Russia barely pulled him out of a Swiss prison, he was somehow afraid to travel to Europe. Moreover, the Italian prosecutor's office, after Borodin left a Swiss prison, having paid a bail of 5 million Swiss francs, opened its own case: regarding the laundering in an Italian bank of 62 million dollars allocated under Borodin for the reconstruction of the Kremlin. In Russia, the fact that Borodin was released from a Swiss prison was widely publicized, but few people know that in the end a Swiss court found him guilty and sentenced him to a fine of 300,000 Swiss francs. And Borodin paid this fine!

Gennady Andreevich remembers Borodin as the best mayor of Yakutsk. But in Yakutsk they remember something else:
