here is a literary island surrounded by seas on all sides, but it was an island. e, alexander grin, who was inhabited by characters like no other , a foreigner of russian literature, as the criticism of the silver age called him, and then the seventeenth year begins , the revolution comes, and, and green's attitude to the revolution. in general, there was something negative in his prose. this is an aversion to politics and in general to any state activity. it does feel very. and sharp. well, look what stories, like a tragedy the plateau, the suan is a completely wonderful story, it seems like grin, again, somewhere there . it is not clear somewhere in africa the action is taking place, but certainly a story that is most directly related to the russian revolutionary situation, and the beginning of the 20th century. and therefore, when e occurs, the revolution green does not perceive it, but another matter. that

he didn't have any feelings towards the monarchy towards the old government either, and green's position was that there was a plague on both your houses. eh, and he doesn't loved, uh, social life, party life. he loved the life of the individual. he loved the life of individuality, and he loved the life of people who believed in a dream and actually in scarlet sails, of course, we can feel it very well, but then it turned out, as it were, even more difficult in his life, but he helped him a lot. and maxim gorky gorky, who really experienced weakness. to such vagabonds, and to such bitter anarchies, who, in general, appreciated the talent of alexander grin and gorky. in fact, he did a great thing for russian literature for russian culture, because in these first post-revolutionary years in hungry petrograd, the bitter ones organized the so-called house of arts, in fact. it was such a great writer's room. a hotel

where russian writer writers could get a column room for food and the opportunity to exist, the opportunity to survive in these difficult conditions. actually , this is exactly what green took advantage of there in this very house of arts. he just writes. uh, the fairy tale scarlet sails fairy as he defined genre of this work and subsequently very many soviet critics. they tried to interpret it as such an allusion to the revolution and present the color of the sails as the color of revolutionary dreams, but in fact , as it seems to me, this has nothing to do with green's plan and in fact. here is the green of this period. it's the sort of sociopath writer who talks about the idea of ​​reality leaving. if you think about the meaning of scarlet sails, then this is a story about how not to live in reality. yes, because the girl is in conflict with her own. surrounding and

right and and conflict further and do not build relationships with people. here, believe in your dream further there, if you remember. in this story, such a storyteller appears, a drunkard egol, in which one can assume green has encrypted himself and who speaks to this girl. remember, she carried it there to sell, and she launched a toy yacht with alla sails, let her goof and if it’s ego here, it means she caught the yacht, and he tells her that many years will pass and a huge ship with alla sails will enter the bay, there will be a prince and girl believes in this, but a dream and lives with this dream and absolutely does not want to live in real life, this fairy tale can actually be read, uh, and in this way further, if not for captain gray yes, with this, but with such moral rules, yes, with his plan, that, but the dream must be done with your own hands. yes, as if the meaning of life lies in the fact that some people believe in a dream, and other people build this dream, as it were, and continue to do so. there is such a happy connection, uh,

of those and others, but a few years after the death of alexander green andrey platonov in my opinion. the deepest, smartest , greatest russian writer of the 20th century. he wrote such a small critical article about the work of alexander grin and about this story, and he said surprisingly accurate words that, as it were, the main drawback from the point of view of platonov's scarlet sails is that the people remained on the shore, if we remember scarlet sails end by the fact that assol, together with gray, float away, it is not known where they float away from people, they float away to some other world, and the people go to copernicus, this one vicious cruel people who did not love, but so much that salt poisoned, here they remain on the shore, but for the platonic it is impossible for the platonic, just the most important thing in life in literature. and everywhere, it's the people it's the people, like a writer. he must be

with the people, but for green, in fact, this is not the people, this is a crowd, a crowd that does not want to love and understand people of a different kind. here is the make-up, such a principled make-up is, really a personal and individualist and a shaft of their sails. it doesn't even feel that strong probably, although it is definitely felt, but even more. this is green's world of sensation, this is green's rejection of any social structure, because here is the image of such a performance there in the circus or in the theater, flying people. all this will first appear in the hands of alexander grin, and bulgakov will read it carefully. and, uh, the shining world is indeed one of the pinnacles of russian prose of the twenties, and brought success to the green, and but it's curious that i'm talking on the one hand green is the most unread russian writer of the xx

century, on the other hand, paradoxically, green is one of the most published russian writers of the 20th century, because, in principle, everything that he wrote in the twenties is everything that he wrote. in the soviet the time was published and the soviet time make-up was really a writer, but extremely popular, because people who were tired were torn off by their fathers, who were tired of the turmoil from the civil war from violence, but from lies. and these people wanted rest. and those fairy tales, those stories , those stories that he showed, which inventing that green composed for them they had something comforting. maybe in a glittering world it doesn't feel so keen, although there is another very important thing in this novel, connected with creativity with a sense of the world. and alexandra green is really the main character there, a flying

man, a man who can fly, and that's why for green. it was very important here, you have to go back a little. petersburg in 1910 . there, in 1910, the so-called aviation week was held at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome , people gathered. all petersburg came there for they sat in the trees, and in order to see how the planes would take off, that is, for our grandmothers , grandfathers, great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers, it was the greatest event, because this is the dream that the first airplanes appeared yes, this is the age-old dream of people that people will be able to fly take off from the ground to rise into the sky, and these first planes are still clumsy and so funny. strange they took off and the audience was in absolute ecstasy and the pilots were, but the heroes of those days. and, by the way, for many writers. it was an event. kuprin described a flying man, or they described andreev there, and vasily kamensky described it , though it was such a very important story.

everyone rejoiced, everyone rejoiced, except for one person, the only person who was at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome and who hated all these flying cars. it was our hero alexander grin why because from his point of view, aviation is a circumvention of the great human dream that a person can and should fly himself. this is really very important green did not like at all did not recognize here such is the course of development of human civilization. he was a principled opponent of the science of technology to achieve development, so by chance he had scarlet sails, he hated steamships with their engines with their pipes from which they escape, and clubs of black smoke, he would have been such a person, aspiring, and he hated the past. that's all, he has an absolutely amazing story, which is called the mermaids of the air, and in this story, it means that here are some, like mermaids in the water.

also in the air there are mermaids these mermaids attack here on these keys. so these planes are ruining them, but drowning them, as it were, in the air, yes, and green's sympathies are of course on the side of the mermaids, of course, in the novel there is a shining world . this is all also a rejection of science and technology. he is very felt and the main character is a man who can fly himself and this scene at the kolomyazhsky hippodrome is described there. and a girl is described the only girl in this crowd who believes that the hero will now take off will take off not because he has a plane with these engines that are there crackling noise and puffs of smoke, spewing, but, because he has some kind of device that will fly from the melodious ringing of thousands of bells there, no one believes everyone laughs at him, and he flies up only one girl believed very similar to scarlet sails. and this girl receives an award, and the hero takes her with him, too, there, to some means beyond the heavenly, and the heavenly world. and

one more example of such a rejection of science and technology by green really did not like cars; he has an absolutely wonderful story, which is called a gray car. by the way, notice that gray car. this is, as it were, the antonym of scarlet sails, so a wonderful film was made to tell the story, and mr. farmer is such an art-house movie, it is really very subtle, deep and smart. and here is alexander green with this rejection of the course of human history, and of human civilization, and a somewhat arrogant attitude, but to those people who think differently than he does. in the mid-twenties , green's life was quite, and he moved harmoniously, then from uh, petrograd to crimea, and therefore, in fact, crimea became such a main place. eh, the residence of alexander stepanovich. here he really never had his own home.

he rented a house, but here is the museum of alexander green, which today is in feodosia, a wonderful museum here, which is in the old crimea where he came in the late twenties and such very important points of his existence. it was such a fairly fruitful and in its own way calm period, and his life, and then misfortunes began, then at the end of the twenties, when the overall atmosphere in the country became more and more, it became more and more obvious, the screaming discrepancy between alexander grin and this, as it were, of such a soviet vector of development , green did not fit into this soviet life and, probably, especially sharply. this is felt in his latest novel. in my opinion the best. his novel, which i advise everyone to read very, very much in a novel called the road to nowhere. and this is a very bitter story of a man who had a lot in his childhood in his youth. given a lot of things he wanted to get from life, and in the end all of his dreams are shattered. here, perhaps, green

is, as it were, the one who has the spirit of pride, which undoubtedly was characteristic of him, and in previous years here, as it were, he is questioned. if we kind of fall apart and green starts to change, it’s generally very interesting how this person doesn’t have a shan warehouse by the end of his life, as if moving more and more towards humility. and in general, the end of life. grina is the end of the life of a christian who repents, who confesses, who goes to church and dies after taking communion and forgive all your enemies. and i must say that the last years of green's life were terribly difficult, because he was stopped. i say to print, it no longer corresponded to the trends of the era and it was not printed much. he received few fees. in fact, he was in poverty, and he was in poverty. uh, at home in the crimea. besides, it's hard. uh, he fell ill, and in 1932 he uh dies. old krym and the priest

who confessed him before his death later said that when he asked green, did you reconcile with your enemies? i'm indifferent to them it's amazing answer. this, of course, was peculiar, but only to our hero. this is what characterizes him to the highest degree by another very important and very offensive thing in the fate of alexander grin , this man who described the journey so much, which described so many different worlds. most different countries. in fact, i have seen almost nothing in my life. he really hasn't been to many places. here, as it were, the geography of alexander grin's life. she is rather stingy and, er, at the end of her life, and he really dreamed of receiving the nobel prize. and he told his wife, and he already had a third wife, and nina nikolaevna greena, which is actually dedicated, and the story of alla and the sails. here is such an amazing woman who later kept the memory of her husband. and then she later

remembered that he told her ninochka. here. imagine we get the nobel prize. we'll charter a yacht and take a trip around the world. and he really wanted to see the world, these countries that he invented, which he described, and now, and if you think about how much publishing houses profited from the works of alexander grin, what his books came out crazy in circulation in the soviet era, and in the sixties he was almost the third largest in terms of the number of circulations, because then he was wildly popular. this is now a little bit of his popularity, how many films have been inserted there? now, if there was some kind of time machine, and it would be possible to miraculously transfer this money to him, so that at least something he would sigh, see , look. uh, it was terrible unfair, but this man's fate. well, in its own way wonderful, uh, and now i feel for him lie down on a huge gratitude for e, for his books, his deep smart honest books

, about which i just a little bit, but i managed to tell, but i just want to name his absolutely wonderful stories, in addition to romanov stories, he was an excellent storyteller, a born storyteller and just read the story of the prosols, for example, this is one of the pinnacles of russian prose of the 20th century , such an amazingly deep gothic story built, as it were, at the crossroads of a real and fictional story that takes place in hungry petrograd and after revolutionary and this here is a fiction , these are the rats that exist in a mysterious house, through which wanders e, the hero of this sur greenovsky, he is absolutely inimitable. he didn't translate, i don't know. and either the story of fondang is also so absolutely wonderful, amazing, and the work of alexander stepanovich which explains a lot, but in his inner world. and i would like to finish, but with what

alexander grin has a novel that he wrote in the late twenties. this novel is called jessie and margiana, this story of two uh, sisters. eh, one of these sisters is beautiful, the other is not, one of these sisters is good, the other is evil. and i usually ask my students at the litton institute. which sister do you think? what well, and most often they say that good they are beautiful, and evil, uh, beautiful, but any writer would have it. only green is not smart and good and beautiful and evil and terrible. this is a very interesting novel. there is a very interesting conflict. here is such a contradiction, and between good and evil, between beauty and ugliness, clay, in general, is very loved painting. here, as if from all kinds of arts painting was extremely for him. it is also important in this novel that jessie was called that , of course, the margiana of evil and the ugly jessie, a kind and beautiful girl, and here jessie once, in one house, they see a picture depicting lady gadieva yes.

of course, we all remember this, uh, medieval story about an english lady, but i don’t remember the wife of such a severe ruler in which city, who demanded all sorts of taxes there, unthinkable from his subjects, and they begged began to beg lady gadiev, a so that she would somehow act on her husband , she begged him to be more merciful to them, and the husband, who was so cruel, burst out laughing and said that i had fulfilled yours. e, the wish to fulfill your request, if you are e legged and undressed, and you will pass or ride a horse there through the whole city, but in this picture, as green writes , lady gadieva is depicted, who is naked sitting on a horse, her hair covers her nakedness , goes ahead. uh, so, uh a man who leads a horse with a low-lying head all shutters. naturally closed no one looks at this very lady chaste

inhabitants of the city. this is how they behaved and how jesse thinks looking at this picture, that this is a very unfair picture, because after all, there was a spectator in this city. well, how many 2,000 people. and how many viewers looked at this picture and then jesse argues that i would have written this picture wrong. i would depict a dark room. in this dark room sit dull faces and people who are terribly ashamed, terribly bitter. the shutters are really tight. they lowered their heads, one of them says not a word about it, but they don't hear the hoof rush on the pavement and only a pale ray of light breaks through the shutter. this is godiva, this is alexander green. it was a podcast. he spent a wonderful life. i am alexei varlamov, writer, director of the literary institute, and we talked about alexander green.

hello dear viewers this is a podcast of jokes with you as always. i'm vadim galygin and viktor vasiliev, this is me for those who don't remember about what i don't remember. this uh met a woman on the street. she says like a familiar face. how are you, where are you from? where am i from? i say, well, maybe you can go to the cinema normally at night. i would like to start , you know, with what, uh, our conversation with you . is there a kind of st. petersburg humor?

here you are from st. petersburg, i've never lived in st. petersburg, i just visited, but all these things, yes, which are there, well, let's say some kind of linguistic diversity, a curb and a curb, there and so on. and so on, shawarma shawarma, by the way, i’ll tell you right away, that in st. petersburg has always been called shawarma. yes, well , somehow more often in russia they called shawarma, or rather, well, in general, i heard that. i heard only st. petersburg shawarma, but i was once in konakovo. this is between. well, he doesn’t know between st. petersburg and moscow and there at the station in huge letters. well, just the highest human height with a pointer arrow at the bus station was written shavarmana. you know how good, uh, like not there and not there, your guys are there, so as not to quarrel with st. petersburg, there and so they are distributed

shawarma here has become shawarma. yes, you know some such there the left right sticks. tell me, if it's some kind of a peculiar layer of jokes about st. petersburg well, besides, that's what it's all about. well, let's put it this way, i 'll tell you honestly. yes, i'll tell you, honestly, for some reason it seems to me that no. i always thought about this and when we started playing kvn we were told, you guys from st. petersburg you have such a sense of humor. and i always thought that in fact everything is the same. here we played with you lost for centuries. it always seemed to me that if we now, for example, exchanged texts with bsu, yes, it would be yes, we would change the texts. also would say, the same jokes are the same, it seems to me that no. it doesn't matter, of ​​course there are such special ones, they really like it. e about petersburg hmm, it's a little spicy there, but i 'll try to replace it. you know how intelligent. uh, the st. petersburg send a person to three letters. i'm going three letters now. you follow me and

overtake me. intelligent in st. petersburg, but it seems to me that humor is almost the same everywhere anyway, and in st. petersburg it happens that in general, as if it were not from st. petersburg, i i don’t agree with you here, because, well, in st. petersburg there are a huge number of palaces, uh, there are no different ones, there are other cities. yes, everyone has their own story. it’s big there, but there are no such things that, well, they can’t come up with jokes about drawbridges somewhere, for example, yes, because they are in st. petersburg, but somewhere they are in, i don’t know, in kolomna there or in yaroslavl there or somewhere else, or i don’t have it there in minsk, but it’s good, if you think that there is no difference, that it’s almost everywhere both killer jokes and cool subtle ones can be told here and in st. petersburg, but it seems to me that this is such an invented story anyway. maybe people even came up with something like, oh, there are st. petersburg jokes or legends, like, you know, like

english humor? this type of st. petersburg then drove once. there isn't any. i remembered, such an anecdote disappeared mushu wife. well , everything was submitted, the police are there, morgues back and forth, there is waiting for her doorbell and two employees. two policemen stand there and say, hello, you are a citizen there. something she says. yes, he says, we have bad news for you, good news and please, what do you say where do they start? well, let's go with the bad, damn it, your husband drowned. what's the good news? when we got it, we collected 6 kg of crayfish from it. she speaks of a request, what please, can we still disperse him? very black sometimes yes. by the way,

i love, say sorry vadik, i know that i really like short jokes. that's what, in short, it seems to me more petty than a person. here's a joke i really like. i don't know what or no, when the vet is a vet. uh, ill comes to the doctor and the doctor. uh, looks does not say what you are complaining about, that the lieutenant hurts. oh. no, well, everyone. maybe i. listen. yes, you know how i will answer you. i also love short jokes. i really like when they are really capacious. yes, there are old bearded ones, when the women came, she says, it hurts here and here and here. he says take your clothes off. he says he keeps putting me down. yes, there are old bearded ones on my luggage, but i love jokes. well, let's say that's how they can be called theatrical. yes? somehow. well, there is, well, let's say with some dramaturgy, when you don't know what will happen next. well, you still love the fact that you know how to tell them and the truth sometimes. i just have a very large number. i know our mutual friends who know how to tell, but

there are generally jokes that, well , you read, and they are long for you too . i needed an assistant. well, a bunch of cases can't handle it, and he posted an ad there for a job, there to come for an interview there, well, it means that no one dared very much, and here the place is so eccentric, there is no such steppe. what are you, this is absolutely the work of a district police officer as his assistant. look at you. you are in the mirror at you. no. i'll go in general, but the policeman comes and sits down, do you understand? what a difficult job here you have to think with your head. yes, i understand, but well , then tell me how much it will be 1 and 1, 11. the divisional, like, the answer is wrong, but on

the other hand, he is right in his own way. i just asked that it's not one plus one and one, well 11, something in it there is some kind of vein. fine then. say second question. what two days of the week do you start on n the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow again, he has some kind of logic in his thoughts. so, well then , here's a question for you. who killed alexander pushkin , i don’t know, he says, come on, you go home and think. there tomorrow come back here his friends in the pubs are glasses. yes, he says, well, as the interview went , everything went like clockwork, just above all expectations, you represent the first working day, and you have already assigned the murder case. she touches you with something, that is,

well, unexpectedly, but and then once at the end i read such an opa. the other day, moreover, my daughter says, dad, tell a joke. but you know , it’s necessary, then, to immediately remember some that you can tell her. i say, yes , we took newspapers with her, a newspaper that is impossible, that u not in uh, naf-naf is new. they wanted to be an astronaut. the astronauts are great too, and from the long anecdotes i didn’t always like it very much. well, do you remember when anatoly kashpirovsky's session, then the audience is sitting and saying, good evening, dear friends. many of you claim that my sessions are not miraculous and i do not have magical powers, but to prove now that i am really a healer. i
