with alexander dugin, let's listen to what the big game is on the air, we continue the conversation said today.

if isolationism was classic for the american people, american culture, political position, they say our business is american, let’s not get involved in european or world events, let’s build a good society in which we will have a wonderful, comfortable life, who can argue, this is a wonderful initiative, that's fine if so, but just 100 years ago, the wilson doctrine assumed that america was refusing and tears. with this tradition, with this attitude, which represents the essence in a certain sense of american political identity and begins aggressive intervention in the global context, trying to bring its idea of ​​democracy wherever it is possible, but in fact it is doing precisely that what biden said: he corrupts regimes, but changes borders, carries out interventions in sovereign states , seeks to subjugate... everyone else

is now being installed by the west, the liberal west is establishing a world dictatorship and is not going to give it up, some, some time ago , the same biden suddenly proclaimed that we put freedom above democracy, and he said, it’s american to put freedom above democracy, this is a classic discovery , an honest admission is that we are dealing with a dictatorship, so if... you want to fight, americans, with a dictatorship, start with yourself, demolish this dictatorial regime, choose for yourself a full-fledged political, political power that will reflect the opinion american majority, and live in peace, but this is precisely what they don’t want, because they no longer believe in any majority, they believe that the majority can be wrong, therefore it is the so -called progressive minorities that should determine the american... that means world

politics, but this is the direct definition of dictatorship, and if we are now opposing this dictatorship, and not alone, we are opposing this dictatorship together with the greater humanity, together with the rest of the world, then we are the real ones democrats who follow the will of the majority, because the will of the majority is certainly values, it is definitely order, it is ethics, it is harmony. this is friendship, this is love, because the majority is normal, these minorities that have seized power over the west, they are definitely not normal today, but what about the world majority, which is talked about a lot, but it is not always clear how this global majority has been formed, and what can be done so that it has greater opportunities to influence the creation of a new world order, i know, so that...

today, among other things, we discussed brix, tell us, of course, today multipolarity is becoming a significant factor, we are moving from theory to practice of multipolarity. and if you like, to the institutionalization of multipolarity, brix is ​​a real platform of multipolarity, yes, this institution has not really started working yet, but it is starting to work before our eyes, at our forum in st. petersburg there were representatives of all brix countries, of all civilizations that are part of the brix or are about to enter, everyone said that we must move to full... use of the potential of brix to promote this multipolar idea. brix is ​​multipolarity, it is truly the majority, it is great humanity, it is the world as such, because we, humanity, humanity are us, and not

the globalist west. and the potential, and economic, cultural, and infrastructural, and financial, and energy, everything. the brix countries have enough of this, we just need to recognize ourselves as a subject, we should not only oppose the west, we should put forward new promising programs, new strategies, we must think of the world as subjects, at this forum the importance of brix was emphasized primarily in my opinion from the point of view of a new new new philosophy, a philosophy of a multipolar subject, where... different civilizations converge in a common desire to avoid destruction , build a harmonious, democratic society based on equality, freedom and love for each other, on the protection of traditional values, in the face of unipolar hegemony, unipolar

hegemony ends, it’s difficult, it’s like a wounded dragon, it can cause enormous harm with one movement, but nevertheless everyone agrees that this dragon is wounded, and that now a truly alternative model is being created with its own projects, with its own infrastructures, with its own practical potential, with our resources, because having added up these resources, even if not all, but partly of our large humanity, multipolar world, we are definitely completely superior to the west, india, china - two giant powers and demographic economies...

there is no evil without good, and maybe it’s not bad at all that we have to talk about the formation of a new world, at least at this stage, without the participation of representatives of the collective west, first we need

to deal with ourselves, with our own rules, and it seems to me that it is very important, as in the example of brix, to create parallel alternative institutions. and then we will have the opportunity to talk with the west, and i am not afraid to say from a position, strength, both moral and physical, thank you very much, good luck , i hope to see you soon, see you again in our broadcast, it was a great game, we'll see you next week. 2024, the year of the family and the year of pushkin, therefore, therefore, read pushkin’s books, this man

made the world much better, much brighter, poems and fairy tales written by alexander sergeevich were read to me in childhood, grandmother, mother, one cannot say about his works, i i've already read this. i have a book containing almost 90 of his self-portraits. you can teach children. so that they have a broader horizon, so that they know better, so that they know better the traditions and, of course, introduce your children to pushkin, start from early childhood, with his wonderful fairy tales. mikhail mikhailovich prishvin once wrote: “my homeland is not yelets, where i was born, not

st. petersburg, where i settled down to live, my homeland is pushkin’s story, the captain’s daughter. hello, today we have gathered with thoughts about the life of a wonderful person , about which it is better not to talk, let them read, although we will probably still talk about everything, and our topic today.” special issue, dmitry petrovich bag, director of the state museum of history russian literature, alexey nikolovich varlamov, rector of the literary institute, our wonderful guests, vselot evgenevich pogno, scientific director of the institute of russian literature, and vadim vladimovich polonsky, director of the institute of world literature, i said all this, but i’m still vladimir ligoida, pushkin is ours that's it, dear friends, you know what my question is. i returned from sirius yesterday, and where do we have a program with

children, with schoolchildren, literary creativity, culture and society, it’s called, well, within the framework of literary creativity, our wonderful teachers are now talking with children, naturally about pushkin, the task that our teachers came up with is this: if there is an opportunity to save pushkin, so that he survives and continues to live and create, what would you do, the children think, i think that maybe we can... start with this, well, it’s impossible to do this, but what could contribute to this if pushkin’s letter to nikolai with a request to be released either to italy, or to paris, or if this is impossible, then at least to china , composed of embassy, ​​which means he received an answer through benkendorf that you don’t need to go there, to europe, because you need to, which means you are our everything, we need to work, work, work. you will also spend money, unfortunately, in china it is impossible, because it was necessary to change

the composition of the embassy, ​​and for this it was necessary to coordinate with beijing, so if he had gone, it is very possible that he would have stayed there, married chinese woman, which means that russian literature, pushkin’s work would be enriched with stunning texts related to china, how long he lived, we we don’t know, medicine, it would have started much earlier, no, it started in him already then, it started even earlier then, in the twenties. in principle, world culture and world history began, perhaps they would have been different, well, still, don’t shy away from the question, if you’re the one to judge, yes, of course, let him live, no, firstly, it would be extremely interesting, because what pushkin wrote in recent months is amazing in strength, amazing in the depth of the text, this is one of the greatest geniuses of humanity, but humanity does not understands, in general there was an argument about this more than 100 years ago. very not stupid people and argued seriously, here sergeevich merishkovsky in the eu in 1896, pushkin said such

serious words, what is pushkin, because in essence this is goethe, who would have died at the age of 37, this is goethe, who would have died having written only werther and left sketches for the first part of faust, membra disjecta, as he says, and then he thinks a lot about who pushkin did not become, who he should have become, and what this task is for... and in response to this article he speaks vladimir solovyov in 1897 with an article on the fate of pushkin, where he does not call merishkovsky by name, but he answers him directly, and he says that nothing can be changed, everything is logical, having survived a duel, in the last days of his life he just experienced that there that repentance and that catharsis that was, as it were, prescribed to him by the life scenario, and that with dontes’s bible on his heart.

such delusions are almost godless, yes, therefore one does not contradict the other, and you are right, and you are right, as in the joke, yes, of course, solovyov with unimaginable courage described this path of pushkin, well, even stating such things that at some moments he seemed to not be able to withstand the knives, and the moral ones, which were, but one does not contradict the other, you are mysteriously silent, i never asked myself such a question that it would have happened, yes, if pushkin had not died at the age of 37. because well, somehow we grew up with this thought, yes, with this picture of the world, in which pushkin kills in a duel , i never considered any alternative options, but nevertheless i think that for pushkin the ideal of human fate was the fate of pimin in boris godunovy, this is exactly the kind of person who in his youth participated in battles, who lived wildly, that is, he did not immediately become a monk, like gregory,

whose whole life was ruined because of this, because he did not work up, here is pushkin in general, there was a person who had a lot of fun, of course, and... it seems to me that if we talk hypothetically about what would happen to him, well, it’s not that he would definitely go to a monastery and become a monk, i don’t think that such an extreme , especially wife, children for it was very important for him, yes, but what it seems to me is a shift in history, yes, what started there for him and the history of the pogachev rebellion and the captain’s daughter and beyond, i think that’s something with similar things would happen to him, noshkovsky’s perspective in your opinion is so false, well , it seems to me that merishkovsky was generally a person.

this is what i thought about now, when vadim vladimirovich spoke, remembered merishkovsky, and what would have happened with dostoevsky, with tolstoy, with czech, and they would have existed in general, if pushkin had turned around in what he saw and mireshkovsky assumed. the main mystery of pushkin, in my opinion, is the expressive discrepancy between his adoration in russia at

home, and the respectful, cool-respectful attitude of foreigners, and some kind of guilt on... we have, because we can’t prove it in any way, we don’t we can prove, it’s not foreigners who have to, it’s we who have to show what a new word he told the world, we know perfectly well that he showed us, gave us the russian picture of the world, but then it would have been known to everyone, this wouldn’t have happened, if there is a national emblem culture, then we understand perfectly well that in italy these are mainly writers, this is dante for the italians and for the whole world, for the germans, goethe for the germans and for the whole world. dostoevsky for us is money for himself and money for others, money for others, this is the amazing difference between russia, if pushkin had lived longer, he would have absorbed that, and he would have become the only one, the only one, because he would have shown he himself would have shown the russian picture to the world, which his contemporaries did not see and the world did not see, dividing them

in half, it seems to me that creating a culture from the inside and broadcasting it are different tacts. i want: a - history, karamzin, yes, self-awareness, b - language, shishkavists, karamzinists, c - literature, he could not broadcast, it was necessary to create it first, that is, relatively speaking, as one american professor said: that dostoevsky is a very american writer, that is , it’s impossible to say this about pushkin, well, pushkin is ours for internal use, and efforts here are impossible even now, perhaps

we just can’t do it, i somehow to be honest, england suggested shakespeare, then germany offered goethe, spain there cervantes and portugal comoens, and so on and so forth, but it seems that pushkin has his own role here, which distinguishes him in general from these others. figures of the same type and this is connected with the peculiarities of russian culture, after all, a very important dominant feature of russian culture is its deep split, this is the church schism of the 16th century, this is the peter the great schism, yes, a torn history, well, aschism, but protest and reformation there too, partly not everywhere, not in all europe, yeah, yeah, after all, in russia this is a wider phenomenon than just part of religious history, it’s no coincidence that georgy fedot. in his article - the singer of the empire of freedom says that in the year of death the russian pushkin was born , the russian intelligentsia was born, because pushkin

is the only phenomenon that removed the division, who was there above the schism, he brought the poles together, and the russian myth about pushkin, he brings this pleroma, this completeness, this function, the bringing together of the poles to the surface, yes, but it’s interesting that splits began after him, that is... it turns out that he was a reconciling figure not after these splits in the intelligentsia, but before these splits, while everyone swears by the name and for all pushkin icons , a russian novel is truly impossible without without pushkin, yes, a satirical line is impossible without tradition, yes, nothing is possible without the tradition of pushkin, before, i don’t remember, yesterday i said that it was a whole mythology, people might not have heard a single poem by pushkin, not know, not read, but they were there, they knew that there is such a pushkin, these versions begin that he lives in the forest, someone...

and what she says: the british value shakespeare, but they don’t love him, the germans treat their great poets with great respect, well, they won’t sing a song about them, the french in general are not valued, he lives in france, but they don’t have people like him, but we really love pushkin and he is one of our own, then he talks about this, about this , about this, yes, that he played cards, he was hanging around with young ladies , and he justifies us all in our weaknesses, yes, in our cards.

boring encyclopedicism, it cannot be, there is the absolute element of freedom, and freedom in the broadest sense of the word, and a stunning finale, well, the very finale, yes, but can i also say about the declaration, there is a favorite stanza at the end of the first chapter, i don’t remember one word there about what’s inside feelings you can’t write a work of genius, only when it departs, is melted,

from within passion, precisely when distance appears, this is an amazing discovery, what we definitely lack are pushkin’s drawings and pushkin’s manuscripts, autographs, wanted still, to show you these portraits, some of which you know, some of which you don’t know, he has 90 of them, it turned out that he has more self-portraits than all the russians, his contemporaries combined, more, in my opinion, only one, two, only the artist, firstly, you see this

famous profile. these are three figures of the great french revolution of three different stages on one face, he actually drew , and actually painted three of them, pushkin several times portrayed himself as a woman , several times as an old man and twice as a foal, this is the third dimension of art, this is not not fine art, this is not literature, this is some kind of third dimension of art, which is only in pushkin’s manuscripts, you can also talk about the finale of evgeniy negin, here is some kind of encyclopedia.

now he fell in love with that girl who wrote to him, yes, not because he saw there, a noble and wealthy lady, yes, but she, although she realized that he had no longer given birth, we remember, yes , when visiting the estate, but that one remained in her love, which did not end in any plot, is a voluminous encyclopedia that completes not only the plot moves, but also the soul, no, there is also what is interesting is that anegin did not see in tatyana what she had. and lensky saw in olga something that was not in her, that’s how pushkin plays with these meanings, it’s terribly interesting, but firstly, there is a well-known opinion, yes, that tolstoy’s anna karenina is essentially a continuation of tatyana, but interesting rozunov has an idea, yes, when rozunov wrote about tatyana, he says that in this eighth chapter tatyana has a tired look, with this tired look with his gaze, pushkin seems to cross out her personal, her female happiness and rozuny, and with

his eroticism, the silver age and everything else. rozna tatyana is terribly sorry that she does not know this female happiness, and how is it that pushkin, who you definitely knew a lot about all these things, is how he nevertheless gives tatyana exactly this and not another fate. and then tolstoy and this topic will seem to go in a different direction, this is generally for understanding russian literature, for comprehension it is very interesting, but for me and for me it seems that this is a very personal end, because despite the fact that pushkin got married, this is the famous phrase of anna akhmatova, how it ends is that on the one hand pushkin is there, what my tatyana learned, the deputy general came out, that is, he seems to be so, she is autonomous, but, but he cannot, he actually gives his life for this, this is very, this, if you like. this is his phrase, here he speaks himself, the thirtieth year, cholera, marriage and the finale, the end of the publication, no, well, this is it, this is some kind of ultimate existential moment, well, that’s all, here we are to our conversation at the beginning, yes, this is all

russian literature, and negen, yes, here, here it’s just everything, i’m from hell, well, there’s war and peace , war and peace, naturally, yes, but there are 700 characters, here, not counting flyanova petushkova is there... and there are five other people in general, everything is said about the russian timur kibirov somehow, in my opinion, in an interview he said in someone, he says: pushkin is normal, yes, but this, this is generally the highest, highest praise such, this is a wonderful conversation about the encyclopedia, it reminded me of what i’m somehow gangoring about now, i’m working on pushkin’s personal library, before which i couldn’t really get to, that is, there are a lot of private subjects, a lot of wonderful works, in fact , the library itself as a single whole, but...

it consists of sections, because this is a geopolitical library, and not a literary library, like his his his modernity, as we can guess, means geopolitical, which is at the same time historical, because there is no special politics, ideology here, there is history, which always worried him, what always worried him was what then they began to call it the fate of russia, understandably, that’s why she gathered this way over the years, starting, well, definitely from the southern exile, with the excitement of a tired life. path of error, i yearn to rest with my heart, and near you, my priceless friend, on the anniversary of the poet, dear

friends, we continue, we celebrate these days, we remember the 225th anniversary, and the 225th anniversary of the birth of alexander sergeevich pushkin, we have gathered there are five of us here, well, almost like players, that... dmitry petrovich bug, his podcast, let them not talk, let them read, his museum of russian literature named after dahl, here is my dear classmate, we studied together at moscow university, vadim vladimirovich polonsky, director of the institute of world literature named after.

i spoke with the smartest man in russia, and what was he, he was 27 years old, he was there in mikhailovsky, he served time in the village, how much did he see, by the way, a library, this is an interesting explanation, because such a library, he selected it for even . and the emperor knows that many rebels have uncopied poems by pushkin, that is , he is like such an ideologist, yes, that’s exactly it, and that, as the emperor wisely does, we were taught at school, yes, i will be your censor, this is violence, this... is, of course, it is, there is no need to idealize, no, no, no, no, but

what happens to pushkin next , he understands that he is not just telling you, yes, but he is his role as a mediator, he understands how important he is, the first person of the state, as we would say, yes, suddenly he calls this particular person the smartest, and does not execute, but he has mercy, generally speaking, yes, that is, he fights, just like in the village they fought for the middle peasant, yes the kula. won't go to collective farm, yes, but the poor man will not have a single horse, but the average man, who has two horses, will he or not? pushkin found himself in the center in this sense, statist, yes, without idealizing nikolai pavlyvich, but nevertheless, how easy it would have been to have been somewhere else far away from him, in kyakhta, yes, no, well, of course, pushkin, pushkin was a statist, but at the same time he was a private person, by the way, in the bronze horseman this is very clearly visible, very clearly visible, for him freedom was certainly a dominant value, the giver of the empire of freedom,

says something else, that he called for mercy for the fallen, this is not a work of literature, i glorified freedom, maybe i called for mercy for the fallen, that is, it’s not what i wrote that will survive me, but what will survive my awareness, what converges at the point of my consciousness these vectors, the deepest personal freedom, yes, there is peace, will, everything else is there, i planned to beat this gigantic mass of a strange state.

no, it seems to me that faith as some kind of internal, perhaps not fully manifested support of human life is very there is a lot, there is, of course, i really really love the captain’s daughter, for me it is such an absolute pinnacle not only of pushkina, but of all russian literature, the work is truly absolutely christian, because you can feel god’s providence there, it’s just there, it’s he revealed, not edifyingly, not so ideologically, yes, in such an artistic sense, because... remember, yes, masha mironova, who is faithful, yes, if your

parents petrusha are against, they do not go against this marriage, mind you when the heroes go against parental blessing, we get a blizzard, there is no happiness in a blizzard, but if the heroes are faithful, obedient to their parents, then they get happiness in the end, but besides, of course there are elements of a fairy tale, because look, grinev meets pugachev and gives him this one... they press on the belogorsk fortress and captain mironov says: masha, go, change into a peasant dress. this is very similar to a peasant young lady. only there it’s vaudeville, there it’s funny, but here it’s a completely ominous thing, because we we understand what will happen to her if she doesn’t change into a peasant dress. and this is how pushkin plays with these meanings, we

don’t remember what, when we talked about it, i say, he’s just spinning a rubik’s cube, he says: yes, he has few elements, but he controls them so masterfully that it’s because of this. walks on the lips and strengthens the fallen with unknown powers. lord, of my days, the spirit of sad idleness, lust for power, this hidden serpent and idle talk, do not give me my soul, but let me see, o god, my sins, so that my brother will not accept condemnation from me, and the spirit of humility, patience, love and chastity in my heart,

live, no edification, although this is just a lenten prayer, it is very beautiful, get the russian language, it is due to the fact that he saw in him a special potential for artistic genius, which grows from overcoming sophistication, from deliberate simplicity, from simplicity as a consequence of overcome complexity, but he talks about this as your verisimilitude free from embellishment, our poets strive for

beauty and so on and so forth, your pushkin and so on, that is, a deliberate refusal decorativeness, rhetoric. everything extremely complicates the translation task, and, in fact, he feels powerless, for the most part, he begins to study, so they try to translate the russian language, but he himself understands that it doesn’t work, and pushkin writes songs of western slavs, pushkin really adapts, tries to adapt it , but it turns out bad, really bad, as for the captain’s daughter, pushkin here tests his strength, historical poetics. story, there is melodrama, they should be well intertwined, yes, within the framework of a well-made plot and so on, so on, pushkin has a story, how exciting it is, the big question, and there is no, there is a love story, but

it is not melodramatic at all, there is actually, by and large, really such a narrative about life, which is very christian in nature its internal prerequisites. a story about a nobleman whose noble honor is naturally organically subordinated to the concept of obedience. the course of the entire narrative suggests that mercy overcomes justice, the law, and above all, these are such universal christian, deep universals, in general, a bestial novel about this, he didn’t say that, but it’s not at all, it’s generally a parallel reality for him, and pushkin, testing the strength of that poetics, brings it out. a different semantic space, and this is unusual, it violates the system of expectations of a standard foreign reader, yes, yes, it really does, and so it’s hard to imagine in a good way, this is what to present to a foreign reader so that it will hook him from pushkin, poetry is difficult to translate, so let's believe here bukova, that the most ingenious

cannot be translated, yes, that from outside the genre there is a lyrical miniature, that onigin can hook him in the west, again, who will translate it like that?

i hear an objection, people will say, i will say, no, well, how similar is the feeling of two poets, and such a one says, they say, everything takes on not only a worldwide sensitivity, but also a general sensitivity to everything real, everything genuine, so you can’t approach pushkin, well as if the mind had not been washed, relatively speaking, you need to bow your head a little, turn your shoulders to get the lightness that he had, i ’m not talking about such prayerful admiration, or rhetorical respect, but about the fact that pushkin is equal to us, at the moment when we

hear him, and much deeper than us, when we try, try understand this, but pushkin , the ordinary people, would not have left us, as platonov wrote. today we talked about pushkin. vselot evgenievich bagno, scientific director of the institute of russian literature, the famous pushkin house, vadim vladimirovich polonsky. director of the institute of world literature in our country and imli and irli today, and our joint special edition of three podcasts, and dmitry petrovich bug, let them not talk about our favorite podcast, let them read it, alexey nikolaevich varlamov, our favorite podcast life of the remarkable, and i am vladimir ligoida, we were gathering thoughts about pushkin, what else to gather thoughts about, and who else can gather your thoughts these days, no matter where you are in a hurry. even for a love date, no matter what your heart harbors, you have a secret dream, but meet her, embarrassed, you

suddenly stop involuntarily, reverently in reverence for the shrine of beauty, for the anniversary poet. there are a lot of contradictory personalities and characters in our history, but if i were making a rating on this matter, i would probably put pyotr chaodaev in first place, this man loved russia very much and at the same time scolded it mercilessly,

sergeevich pushkin, to his philosophical letter, which we will talk about today, so of course we need to understand this story. hello, this is a historical podcast russia-west on the swing of history. pyotr romanov is with you. and sergei solovyov, today we are talking about pyotr yakolevich chiodaev. by the origin of education, chaudaev, of course, refers to this very often; they write that he belongs to the circle of decembrists. this is true. this is true, there are a lot of similarities here, although, as we will see later, he still went his own way, his own way, he was not, he was in

some ways similar to the decembrists, in some ways he was very independent. a nobleman, he studied at moscow state university, attended lectures on philosophy together with his friend, the famous decembrist yakushkin, and griboyedov. by the way, there is a version that... the prototype is chadsky in mount atum copied directly from chadayev, indeed similar in some ways. in the war of 812, he participated in the same way as most of the decembrist leaders, and not only did he participate, he actively participated, he took part in the battle of borodino, near maloyaroslavl, in fact , chadayev took part in all the most important battles. in the end , he reached paris with the russian army, received orders there for all these battles in the patriotic war, later

rose to the rank of captain, then he applied for military service... he, of course, to a huge extent yelled at chiodayev himself, although from my point of view here there is, like some kind of paradox, there are many such contradictions and paradoxes around the figure of chadayev , he was, i would say, even more of a westerner, yes, than the decembrists, but at the same time he belonged to the same west, well, in my

opinion, still more critical, he was always on his own, he... didn’t want to make anyone more expensive, although of course, this is the fact that he visited the west, and he visited england, france, switzerland, italy, germany, of course, this left an imprint on his entire worldview; when he returned to russia, he was arrested, by the way, for de arrested, 40 days, he was there nikolai demanded that he...

chiodaeva, pushkinsky, christomatic, comrade believe, she will come, the star of captivating happiness, russia will rise from its foundations, our names will be written on the block of autocracy, this is just one of the dedications, so to speak, of chaadaev, actually a message to chaadaev, yes. here, speaking about resignation, there is a mysterious story about the resignation that was discussed, chiodaev’s resignation, it was discussed very much in society then, that daev was, despite for his youth, he was 23 years old at that moment, he was very famous in society, well, a bright figure, as for age, we forget about the historical context, he became a student at moscow state university at the age of 14, yes, first

to the listeners, yes, then students, so... in general, then people matured much faster than now, this is not bad and not good, it’s just a statement of fact, a statement of facts, a lot of copies have been broken among researchers, among those, among contemporaries regarding the reasons for resignation, there were rumors gossip, one of the gossip was the fact that he allegedly cared so much about his toilets that he was therefore late, and he was sent there in connection with the news of the uprising of the semenovsky regiment. and he went to alexander, who at that time was outside the russian border as a courier, who was supposed to report the uprising of the semenovsky regiment, in which his friends the decembrists, but the future decembrists, did not take part, but who were actually accused of it , they were then sent to different troops, although this uprising was connected with a very simple thing, the commander arakcheevets was appointed to the regiment, such an ardent schwartz, colonel schwartz, who brought the regiment down

with his nagging, with his bodies. it must be said that the semenovsky regiment is a guards regiment in which, in principle , corporal punishment, which was then actively present in the russian army, was usually not used; veterans of the 1912 war and foreign campaigns served there, who, to such an attitude towards themselves, of course, being, although ordinary soldiers, they were not used to it, so yuri mikhailovich lotman, speaking about the reasons for his resignation, throwing it aside from all this gossip, this was another gossip that was needed... lotman, our most famous philologist, historian, researcher, interpreted chadayev’s act in such a way that he expressed to alexander his opinion about

the reasons for the speech of the semenovsky regiment, mentioning, of course, serfdom . at that time , schiller’s drama, don carlos, was very popular in russia, in which there is such a marquis-pose, uh, hostility, by the way, yes, regarding the pose that can be taken, these are parts from there. is taken, so the marquis poza e expresses the truth to the dictator, the tyrant person, and thanks to this he should become, accordingly, close to him, uh, in this logic, including literary logic, uh, pyotr yakovlevich chiodaev, according to lotman, expressed this to alexander, and at the same time, in order to gain alexander’s trust , it was necessary to refuse all honors, which he did, abruptly announcing his resignation, but the fact is that alexander...

his career inevitably had to end, and there was an element of humiliation in this sense, because when chiadaev was sent resigned, he was sent to resignation in the same rank, they usually gave him a higher position, and he was dismissed in the same rank of rotmister, in addition, his letter to his aunt, who cared about him very much, looked after him very much, chayadaev’s parents died early, and he wrote to her , and this letter was opened, it was later found among the illustrated papers in the royal office, i...

this is some kind of pole that causes such severe magnetic storms, so he, it seems, did everything possible so that his compatriots, so to speak, didn't like it, here he was a student of european philosophy, to a large extent a mystical philosopher, he also argued with westerners, he argued more or less correctly, and as for the slavophiles, or more precisely, so to speak, the emerging slavophiles, because it was just emerging then, and in many ways he is like since he contributed to them, that is, he gave birth to the antipodes, so to speak, just like that, this is the trend, he

spoke very sharply about this, very sarcastically, well, here is one quote on this matter, from chadayev: in moscow, every foreigner is taken to see the big cannon, the big bell , gun from which to shoot. neither can the bell, which fell before it rang. an amazing city in which the sights are absurd, or maybe it’s a large bell without a tongue, a hieroglyph expressing this huge silent country that is inhabited by a tribe that called themselves slavs, as if i’m surprised that a human word has anything, well, it’s a shame, of course, it can be cruel, it's a shame, it's pretty unfair, really. crashed even before it began, or rather, yes, yes, these famous philosophical letters to chyadayu were written in 1828-31, but for quite a long time

very few knew about them, because they were not published, but circulated in lists, but this was a kind of publishing house at that time, so to speak, that’s why some kind of intellectual elite, and the court also, probably, this... lonely in the world, we gave nothing to the world, took nothing from the world, we did not contribute in any way to the forward movement of the human

mind, everything that we got from this movement, we distorted, if the hordes the barbarians who shook the world did not pass through the busy our country, before the invasion of the west, we would hardly have given a chapter for world history, when the great... man decided to civilize us, well, speech, naturally, to peter, yes, and in order to instill a desire for enlightenment, he threw us the cloak of civilization , we lifted the cloak.

the letter outraged then, well, almost all russians who generally became acquainted with it. one of his contemporaries wrote: never since they began to read and write in russia has any literary or scientific event had such a huge impact. near for a month there was hardly a house in the whole of moscow in which they did not talk about the chaodayev story. even complete ignoramuses, barons. officials who drowned in embezzlement and bribery, half-crazed saints, young fatherless old patriots, all united in one common cry, curses and contempt for the man who dared to insult russia, and there is a lot of similar evidence, that is, in other words, well, this cry, and then the cry , which means that it turns out that it was pouring into unison. this is a historical podcast,

we continue the conversation about pyotr yakovlevich chaadaev. even alexander sergeevich pushkin, who was complacent towards him and very affectionate towards pyotr yakovlevich, spoke out against chaadaev’s position. he wrote about him, he is higher by the will of heaven, born in the shackles of royal service, he would have been a brood in rome, a crossroads in athens. here he is an officer of the hussar, this was written early, you have already quoted the message to chaadaev, he has more than one message to chaadaev, this is such a part of a humorous epigram, but pushkin in april of the thirty-sixth year after the publication of the letter wrote a critical response to chiodaev, where there is sufficient detail analyzes, he writes himself that it turned out to be a huge letter, analyzes his point of view, i will not quote this letter in full, although it is very worth reading, because from my point of view, alexander sergeevich is here from the point of view of historical accuracy. not

only from my point of view, he was more right, of course, than pyotr yakovich.
