Romantic mythology (the world as it should be): heroic fearlessness is the path to the feat of philanthropy. “It’s madness to not notice the world as it should be!” International Neighbors Day was celebrated for the first time in Tyumen

International Neighbors Day was celebrated for the first time in Tyumen

Older Tyumen residents probably remember how they were friends with the whole courtyard. Why not revive the good old tradition? After all, friendship helps solve any problems. Interestingly, the well-forgotten old meets the goals of the new federal projects “House Manager” and “School of a Literate Consumer.”

Neighbors Day originated in France at the end of the 20th century, and the idea was soon picked up in other countries. The initiative of the United Russia party to celebrate such a holiday in the regional capital was supported by the Tyumen City Duma, administrative district councils, territorial self-government bodies active in Tyumen and ordinary residents.

Pies, relay races, checkers...

The first festivities began on Friday evening in the part of the city across the river. The courtyard of house No. 4 on Vatutina Street was filled with music. “Draw in your window the world as it should be,” the girl sang, and it was clear that the people who organized the meeting of neighbors were just of this kind. The main instigator was the TOS body of the microdistrict. Its chairman, Irina Lokteva, lives in this very house. The unusual figures under the windows are the fruit of her imagination. The crane well hides a bucket peeking out from one side; at some distance, among the flower beds, a hedge has grown that makes you smile...

We have been living in this house for 33 years,” says Irina Mikhailovna. - Previously, everyone knew whose children were walking in the yard, together they monitored public order. I would like to revive the tradition of good neighborliness so that grandchildren can play on the playground without fear. Let's try to make each other's lives better.

She also opens the holiday, and then gives the floor to the regional coordinator of the “School of Literate Consumer” and “House Manager” projects, adviser to the chairman of the City Duma, Yuri Budimirov. He explains that the point of the projects is to unite and live more friendly, learn to competently manage their own property, and become responsible users of housing and communal services.

These projects are designed to educate competent managers of apartment buildings who know the rights and responsibilities of residents and demonstrate competence when concluding contracts with management companies. Training and advanced training for building managers has been organized,” Yuri Budimirov emphasized.

He presented diplomas and letters of gratitude to the residents who were actively involved in organizing the holiday. Another stack of diplomas lies on the sidelines for now - they will be signed by the winners of games and competitions.

It was clear that the neighbors were happy to spend time together, and it was so unusual and interesting. Someone baked pies, someone printed out photographs of everyday life in the yard for the “Find out who's in the frame” competition, someone organized fun for children, someone gave adults a quiz on the history of the city. The pensioners simply sat in a row, watching and communicating with each other, sharing memories. Since it was a weekday, few neighbors gathered, but in the evening there were more participants.

Sports yard

On Saturday, it was noisy, fun and crowded in several courtyards of the regional capital.

Residents of house 6/2 on Valeria Gnarovskaya Street came out for the holiday at ten in the morning. Volleyball competitions took place on the sports ground, men lifted 16 kg weights, and children tested their accuracy in darts and drew on the asphalt. Residents came out with their families for the holiday.

I am very glad that I live in this yard, the residents are good and friendly. I know almost all the neighbors. Our yard is very sporty. Ivan Yamov is the soul of our company, he organizes sports events, both in winter and in summer, you never get bored,” says Dmitry Levonyuk, a participant in the event.

Thanks to the initiative of residents, a sports ground for playing beach volleyball appeared in the yard. The residents themselves prepared the site, brought in sand, and only then turned to the administration for help in purchasing a fence. Now residents from neighboring yards also come here for volleyball competitions.

As lunch approached, there were even more residents at the holiday site. While the kids were swinging on swings and playing in the sandbox, parents had time to try their hand at sports competitions. The exhibition of weapons organized by the Union of Border Troops Veterans aroused great interest among the boys.

As Yuri Budimirov noted, important tasks in the sphere of housing and communal services are realized through play and creativity. In his opinion, the holiday turned out to be wonderful and, most likely, will become traditional. Would you, dear readers, like to do something similar?

I think about this a lot. I’m trying to imagine it, that is, to create a thought form, as everyone advises. And nothing comes of it. These are the criteria that we see in the concept of “Ideal World”

Quote:
An ideal world is a world where only good people live, where only healthy people live, there are no sick people, no poor people. Everyone is equal.

Quote:
An ideal world presupposes a very high level of morality among the inhabitants of this world, that is, they must also be ideal. Nobody harms anyone. Before doing anything, everyone thinks whether such an action will harm anyone. There is no deception in this world, truth triumphs. The highest degree of patience and kindness.

Quote:
The main thing that can unite all people for an ideal person is that there must be love in him. freedom and kindness.

Quote:
The ideal world can be seen through the eyes of a child - a feeling of love, security and safety, sincere smiles of loved ones and people around, praise for merits and achievements, opportunities for discovering talents.

Quote:
An ideal world is when there is no war, grief, tears, pain, death, when everything is interconnected, when the inhabitants of the world feel like themselves, when everything and everyone is... harmonious

Quote:
Part of the ideal world is clarity and orderliness - the consequence depends on the action and is corrected by it, positive emotions - will and understanding of the environment - negative - strict control and, first of all, self-; everything follows its own cycle, without disruptions in the weather and nature, everyone is in their place and people are not characterized by envy and regret, thoughts relate to specific tasks and their solutions, and do not slip into unnecessary reflection. The instincts of life are realized, but in such a way as not to cause serious harm.
Part of the environment for me in such an ideal world is Nature

Quote:
What should an ideal world be like? Probably one where there will be no wars, violence, hunger and unemployment, where people will help each other and receive help without expecting anything in return. In such a world, ecology will occupy a much larger place in life than in this one. This will be a world without human indifference to people and to everything that surrounds us. Citizens of an ideal world will try to become better people, develop spiritually and lead other people.

You can try to imagine an ideal world as much as you like, but nothing will come of it. Everything will remain only in words. Because to do this, you must first change the physical conditions of living on planets of 3D density like our Earth to softer ones.

Secondly, birth control will have to be established so that there is no overpopulation, which means there will be no hunger and disease. Who will determine when and who can give birth to a child?

Thirdly, it will be necessary to establish control over a person’s thoughts, emotions and behavior - until humanity completely changes or becomes zombied. The question arises: who will do this?

Fourthly, abolish monetary relations, that is, simply abolish money: the distribution system will remain (your pants are torn - write a request). But who will distribute? :-D Universal work in factories and agriculture for the benefit of everyone.

And no supervision? But then how to find out how much product needs to be produced?

It turns out to be some kind of creepy world in which you don’t want to live at all.

You can fantasize a lot more on this topic, but you don’t want to. It is unlikely that in such an ideal world all the qualities that we dream about are possible.

Conclusion:

An ideal world is possible only in the Subtle Worlds. Where it is not necessary to provide your physical body with everything necessary. That is, it will be the world of God.

On November 18, People's Artist of the USSR, Patriarch of Soviet and Russian theater and cinema, Vladimir Zeldin, performed on the stage of the Griboedov Drama Theater. This is one of the few people over whom time has no power to such an incredible degree - at 96 years old, he is graceful, elegant, witty and surrounded by beautiful women. “Yes, I would agree to any role, even without words, just to stand on the same stage with him! This is great happiness, this is a gift of fate for me,” says Maria Orlova, a young artist of the Moscow Drama Theater “Modern”. And the audience agrees with her: when they saw Zeldin on stage, they realized that they still didn’t know much about the theater.

The most striking thing is that Vladimir Mikhailovich still goes on tour, not with his native Central Academic Theater of the Russian Army, but with the Modern Theater, in whose productions he participates as a guest “star.” Why does he need this? It’s probably not difficult for the master to answer this question with some stock phrase, because journalists across the country have asked him about this over all these years, probably thousands of times. But Zeldin is a patriarch and considers it necessary to answer questions seriously and thoughtfully.

Due to the financial problems that theaters face, there are almost no tours now, says Vladimir Mikhailovich. - This is connected with money, it is expensive... And in my understanding, this is a terrible omission! Culture is of paramount importance in the life of a country; culture is the soul of a nation. Do you think that during the war we won by force of arms? No, by strength of spirit! Some of our statesmen believe that when distributing finances, it is permissible to remember culture as the last thing... We will not defeat corruption, crime, and all other negative phenomena in our life by renaming the police into police, but only with culture! Civilization is destroying the world, and only culture prevents this!

It seems that the answer is not substantive, but you had to be in the hall of the Smolensk Drama Theater named after Griboyedov last Friday and see the eyes with which people looked at the stage. To be honest, in recent years this stage has seen more chanson and entreprise than theater, but here there are scenery, music, lighting, costumes, Dostoevsky, and... Zeldin! And it seems that “Uncle’s Dream” is not the most complex, not the most serious play, and it was staged at “Modern” in an unusual way, creating a comedy instead of the drama that seemed to suggest itself, but the effect is amazing! And somehow I want to wake up, remember something bright, long forgotten... After all, it happened, it happened! And a general exhalation as you exhale: “Incredible!” This is, of course, about Zeldin. And the memory of this performance will not be erased, and the people who were able to see it became a little better...

Now Vladimir Mikhailovich plays in five performances. The main one is “Man of La Mancha,” an American musical of the 60s, staged by Yuli Gusman at the Russian Army Theater for the artist’s 90th birthday. No one believed in the success of this amazing project, rehearsals were difficult, some actors left the race, but the result exceeded all expectations - the success was deafening!

That's why? But because this performance, this hero speaks about humanity, about kindness, about beauty, about mercy,” explains Vladimir Mikhailovich. - There are commandments: do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, and so on. Don Quixote also has commandments. So he says: “Don Quixote, breathe deeply the life-giving air of life and think about how you should live it. Do not call anything yours except your soul, love not what you are, but what you want and can become !". Do you understand? Now the world is like Nabokov’s: “And we have come to an ominous age.” If there is magic in the world, then it is in the theater, in cinema. People come, see the scenery, scenography, hear the words of the actors, laugh, cry... If you want the viewer to cry, you must accumulate thousands of tears within yourself. If you want him to laugh, you must accumulate thousands of smiles within yourself. We are wizards! The audience comes to the theater for magic! Miracles from the Lord God are rare, but in theater and cinema they happen every evening. My monologue ends like this: “Who can answer what madness is when the whole world has gone crazy, when people have forgotten about compassion, about helping each other... Looking for treasures where there is only garbage is probably madness, but throwing away a pearl just because "That she is from a dung heap is also madness. But the worst madness is to see the world as it is, without noticing what it should be!" That's why the audience comes to this performance. And for me this role is happiness.

In Smolensk, "Modern" showed two adults ("Uncle's Dream" by Dostoevsky and "Once Upon a Time in Paris" by Valentina Aslanova) and two children's performances (both based on the plays of Sergei Mikhalkov - "Cowardly Tail" and "Snobbish Bunny"). In addition to Vladimir Zeldin, People's Artist of Russia Natalya Tenyakova and People's Artist of the USSR Vera Vasilyeva shone in them. The tour was an exchange, and this, by the way, is also a real event - for the first time in many years, the troupe of the Smolensk Drama Theater will go on tour to Moscow in February - on a return visit, to the territory of Moderna.

The ancient hero is active and effective. He is least of all like a “suffering” person, over whom the arbitrariness of fate rules. Although he is subordinate to necessity and sometimes even unable to prevent his death, he fights, and only through his free action does necessity manifest itself. The ancient hero differs from the hero of medieval art. Characteristic are the similarities and differences between the image of Aeschylus's chained Prometheus and the image of Christ in medieval art. Both of them endure torment in the name of people, both of them are immortal gods, both of them are able to foresee the future and know in advance about the torment that is prepared for them, and both of them can evade their suffering, but accept it. Nevertheless, these are deeply different images. Hephaestus says about Prometheus:

So you suffer for your love of humanity! God himself, despising the threatening wrath of the gods, You honored mortals beyond all measure. For this you will guard the rock, stand without sleep, without bending your knees

Prometheus admits: “In truth, I hate all gods.” Prometheus is a titan, a fighter against God, and in this way he is more similar to the later romantic fighter against God - a demon, than to the medieval humble Christ-lover of God. The indomitable, revolutionary heroic spirit distinguishes the image of Prometheus from the martyr image of Christ. Prometheus is not inherent

neither humility, nor repentant patience, nor forgiveness, nor acceptance of the imperfections of earthly and heavenly existence. He says to the messenger of the gods, Hermes:

Be sure that I would not change

My sorrows into slave service.

Christ martyrdom atones for human sins with his suffering. The image of Christ in medieval art is endowed with courage and readiness to accept death for people, but lacks heroic features.

Prometheus gives people new knowledge and pays for it. The image of Prometheus is the image of a romantic hero who sacrifices himself for the sake of knowledge and the well-being of humanity. It seems strange that Aeschylus in “The Oresteia” and other works appears as a mythological realist, in “Prometheus Bound” he appears as an artist of mythological romanticism. It is no coincidence that A.F. Losev and A. A. Taho-Godi argue that the tragedy “Prometheus Bound” was not written by Aeschylus.

4. Mythologism of everyday consciousness (the world as many people talk and think about it): heroism is ridiculous; A quiet life with quiet joys, fun, contemplation of beauty, and love pleasures is preferable.

Lyrics were a whole layer in ancient artistic culture. The lyrics glorified and poeticized love joys (Sappho), spiritualized satire. Ancient satire appears as the artist’s personal attitude to a phenomenon. The songs of a tipsy crowd of villagers - komos - absorbed motives of drunken fun and sensual images of sexual life that corresponded to the sacred meaning of the holiday. The action was accompanied by ridicule directed against individuals, which was personal in nature and went from person to person. At both poles of ancient satire there is the narrowly particular, behind which the universal only flickers distantly. This universality is how many people “speak and think” about the ridiculed phenomenon. This satire is lyrical. Criticism comes from the point of view of the author’s “I”; he is guided only by his immediate impression and acts as a positive hero of satire. The artist’s “I” is individualized and appears as a type but it has not yet been developed as a subjective wealth of the spirit. The state of the world is absent from the satirist’s thinking. The oldest Greek satire “The War of Mice and Frogs” (“Batrachomyomachy” - early 5th century BC) was written in a “lyrical” and not in an “epic” key. The main thing in this work is not the narration of the vicissitudes of battles, but a parody of the heroic epic. In Homer, a dying hero usually predicts the imminent and inevitable death of his killer. Mortally wounded Patroclus foreshadows Hector:

To live, Priamid, you have only a short time left:

Almighty fate and death are already close to you,

Soon you will fall at the hands of the immaculate grandson of Aeacus.

Here the results of the battle between Hector and Patroclus are reported and future events are predicted. In “Batrachomyomachy,” when the mouse is killed by the king of the frogs, Bloatface, the mouse also predicts death for its destroyer:

You, Vzdulomorda, do not think that you can hide your deed with deceit

Lured me into the water...

But the all-seeing God will punish.

The heroic theme of the Iliad is parodied here. A personal critical attitude is manifested both in the parody of the lament of the Trojan king Priam for Hector, killed by Achilles, and in the depiction of the council of the gods, in the story of Athena’s cloak chewed by mice. The solemn hexameter of the Homeric epic also sounds parodic when depicting the battle of mice and frogs. The address of the most ancient satire is not evil in general, not the structure of life, but a specific person with her specific actions. The starting point of satirical ridicule here is not an aesthetic ideal or a social norm, but the artist’s personal hostility, reflecting the opinion of “many.” This feature is inherent even in the satire of Aristophanes, which is most social in nature. Gogol wrote: “There are traces of social comedy among the ancient Greeks, but Aristophanes was guided by a more personal disposition, attacked the abuses of one person(emphasis added by me. - Yu. B.) and did not always mean the truth: proof of this is that he dared to ridicule Socrates.” Of course, through Aristophanes’ personal attitude his democratic program is already clearly visible, but nevertheless, developed positive social principles as the starting point of satire appear only at the next stage - in Juvenal. The ridicule of Socrates also reflects the opinion of many, because this philosopher was condemned to death by a democratic vote of the citizens of the polis.

The developed statehood of Rome inevitably causes normative thinking and assessments, a clear division of good and evil, positive and negative. At the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries, during the era of Juvenal, in Rome, imperial power muted the civil strife of various social groups. It was a consolidation under the pressure of the invasion of barbarian tribes, unrest in the provinces and the increasing resistance of slaves. The social compromise of the top under the auspices of imperial power many centuries later, on a new basis, will be repeated in French absolutism and the art of classicism born on its basis. Roman literature of the early 2nd century is full of attacks on the past, and only Juvenal denounces the life of imperial Rome not as the past, but as the present. He exposes the contrast of wealth and poverty, arrogance and humiliation, shows dishonest sources of enrichment - forgeries, denunciations, oppression of provincial residents. Juvenal speaks of the “depravity of the century.” The positive position of Juvenal's satire is vague and is determined by the contradictory historical circumstances: the forced consolidation of citizens with the deepening of their property inequality. This gave rise to notes of hopelessness in Juvenal. His positive program is directed to the past, to idealized pictures of the former simplicity of life of the ancient Italian tribes. Juvenal looks for the positive program of his satire - social harmony, peaceful labor and contentment with little things - in the early period of the Roman Republic. Juvenal was influenced by Stoic philosophy (in particular, Di-

he is Chrysostom), who developed the ideas of social peace, expedient world order and mutual love. Researchers interpret Juvenal either as a supporter of strong imperial power, or as a preacher of republican and even patriarchal antiquity. Literary critic M. Pokrovsky notes that Juvenal sharply attacked the morals of the empire, but was not a republican. The positions of Juvenal's satire were modern, since they led to consolidation, that is, in the same direction in which the real political process in Rome went. These positions made it possible to be critical of imperial Rome, which was entangled in contradictions. The starting point for Juvenal’s analysis of life: the position of an idyllic past and an abstractly expedient world order, expedient in the opinion of “many.”
