12:15 am
[000:00:00;00] courtyard, they poisoned him, they set things on fire, they secretly put some kind of nitroglycerin in the cotton wool, and he, out of naivety, didn’t notice it at all, and after 5 minutes everything suddenly flared up, that is, it was revenge for his well-being, then so many years pass, the boy sasha will become drunk on wine , go to school, begin to envy his neighbors and birds , draw non-agar waterfalls, not the gym, girls like him and piss off his parents, love chopin, imitate his own funeral during school breaks. sasha’s father punished him, well, it happened, but that’s mostly there were slaps in the face, and her mother also had a heavy hand, but then one fine day it all ended, it ended, because sasha suddenly realized that he had already grown up
12:16 am
and his father... once again wanted to hit her , he took a chair and said: “i’ll now take a knife and stab you both, it’s unknown whether the passion for a double life is inherited, but sasha has a solid double life ahead of him in the soviet union . a double life in the end, he will kill his father, a double one.” life will eventually make his son famous, author of the book..." a school for fools, he was born free , very free, independent, and painfully independent, in many, many respects, so
12:17 am
he was not afraid, here he was of the new time, half a century later today on an island in the atlantic is like nato's secret base, a literary conference will take place, researchers of sasha sokolov's work from all over the world will fly, sail, arrive , only sasha will not be invited, because he died a long time ago, but in fact , all this is not true, because i, i... i am here with you, he is me, for it is said in the book schools for fools, a person cannot disappear instantly and completely, first he turns into something different from himself in form, for example, into a waltz. it's stupid
12:18 am
to do now. that he is not him, because it is him, alex sokolov on fashionable skis in amazing pants. russian literature raised many from their knees. sokolov puts readers back on skis. for the last 30 years he has been working as an instructor at winter resorts. i always wanted to live in beautiful places, but that’s basically how i lived. and this is one of the most beautiful places. in 2010 it died down here. winter olympics, now canadian whistler looks like olympus after the departure of the gods, a place where there is finally no room for heroism. this is the first time that strangers have been welcomed into this house, but sokolov always answers the question, where do you live, the location is unknown, so
12:19 am
a letter sent to bukova 40 years ago only reached the addressee this evening? well, of course, yes, i have never seen this letter, in fact, a charming , tragic, touching book, i know about this review, and from the profers, karl profer and his wife elendya are sasha’s friends and his first american publishers, they published nabokov’s books , were friendly with him, just talk about how things are in russia, i said, karl, i’ll think about it, but i, i’m not sure that i can do it, and i began to think, and then i realized that i would
12:20 am
feel awkward. the presence of a huge writer, to me this sokolov was the second attempt of professionals, brodsky could have appeared before nabokov first, but the classics did not like his poems, the invitation did not follow, and sokolov himself avoided the meeting, how many lives have passed without me, how many lives have left me, the scene in the house, the same and the writer’s wife, marlene royle, an american, rowing champion, lyube, this is her musical passion, tall tall grass. i will walk to my full height , i will breathe deeply into the air of these flames, i have long
12:21 am
forgotten the taste, this is lyube’s group, this is unexpected, lyube, why lyube, but they, that’s a very good soul. they are down-hole, also down-hole sasha, do you love love too? yes, but not like balkan music, after all, after all, any, why, of course , quite worthy, i’ve been rowing for 38 years, i started when i was... 14 at school, university, a few more years after i participated in competitions, and then recovered for several years, when i turned 33, i returned to sports as a coach, preparing the olympic
12:22 am
team for the 2000 games, and now i give private lessons, marlin and alexander got engaged in 1988, sports and literature it’s always easy to get married in sokolov’s novels; he’s liked it since school. ancient greek expression, this man can neither write nor swim, that is , a completely worthless person, human here, you will not be something there, this is eighty ninth, the first year of joint voyage, for the russian literary establishment , accustomed to killing themselves in every way so as not to die, such is the writer ellen, the writer sportik. a provoking phenomenon, well, as it was, wonderful, wonderful, only there is a lot of grass, i need it, i have an idea, i want to mow it, take the pugkos and mow it under water, maybe you can open the bottle, but yes, i think, gentlemen,
12:23 am
we need to drink to the freedom that we found in these blessed places, as he told her then in the school for fools, my joy, if i die from adversity, madness and sadness, if i don’t tell: everything i wanted to tell you, if one day i die without saying goodbye, forgive, chase, breathe, run, run, that’s the main verb in sokolov’s fate, run to the soviet union, run across street from scary children, run away from parents, run away from school, run away from intelligence service, run away from the union across the iranian border, run, run, what else could i tell you, my joy. and i was sent to kashchenko to the semi-violent department,
12:24 am
it was the greatest school in life in general, this is fantastic, this is the most interesting and free institution in the country in general, this is the nativity scene, this is an incredible kind of live theater, such a theater of crazy people, where 100 people have no right to be in the wards during the day, they are forced to rush around only in a long corridor, back and forth, and you can only stop, stand against the wall, just watch these people, these faces, their speeches. what speeches, and how many people who were there in general, for decades, because they were there and there were political ones among them, patients of the doctor
12:25 am
snezhnebsky, famous, so to speak, for sluggish schizophrenia, and you weren’t afraid of going really crazy there, no, no, i’m actually strong. system, well, we didn’t break the same ones there, of course, of course, but i was lucky, well, as always, in december... kashchenko hospital interview with patient sokolov av. what are you complaining about? doctor, my breasts? this is a drum, under the tightly stretched skin of which the strings of aeolian harps impatiently tremble. high writing style: simulanta. in kashchenkoy sokolov lies down to slope away from army. he had just left the institute of foreign languages at the ministry of defense, where his father assigned him. and the institute trained intelligence officers, and in order to avoid being drafted, it
12:26 am
provokes attacks of new metaphors. doctor, i'm not an exploding bomb. inside any, i think, normal insane asylum, there is a group of people, this is the so -called secret police, and which helps doctors and nurses keep this entire institution in order, that is, in the event of any excesses, they get involved and can tie up a person there, let's say yes or so they gave him an injection, then he would calm down for a long time, and, as i realized later,
12:27 am
a famous madman came up to me. misha talanov, he came up to me, introduced himself, extended his hand, said: “well, kasim, kosim, you will be with us, you will be a member of our organization, we will give you new good slippers, they really gave it right away, that’s all.” and he helped you cancel the injections, cancel the injections, and you won’t be injected, ah, he took patronage over me, he was the head of this secret police, so to speak, locally. this will be his first mental hospital, but an escape into abnormality it started much earlier, back in school. in the late fifties, the sokolov family moved to the moscow sokol district, an area of the soviet aristocracy. neighbors, writers, intelligence officers, a bohemian cafe from the time of the thaw, normal conditions for the growth of a golden nomenclat boy, but from this normality he runs away like crazy. this was always interesting,
12:28 am
since we lived near the cemetery, not far from the bodkin mortuary, funeral processions often passed by our house, death always interested me, everything circumstances associated with death, all mythology, death, death all this is all interesting, this is the most interesting, most mysterious phenomenon, of all that we know, there is so much of sasha himself in the main character of his school for fools, students named student -so, this boy with a split personality is constantly trying to escape from the big world to beautiful places where not everyone needs to go, where he alone needs to go, the commandment of jesus, if? do you
12:29 am
want to follow me, leave your parents, relatives, leave, to the dead, to keep your dead, give away your property, to the poor, follow me, that's it, this, this, this is for me.
12:30 am
a school for the most complex novel of russian modernism, a text on the verge of prose and verse, prose, a coming-of-age novel woven from childhood fears, hallucinations, stings of memory, protests of poignant tenderness, this is a school for us just above the abyss of wars and a nightmare on elm street. i always felt the unreality of our reality, i doubted it. in general, doubt is the same thing, on the one hand, it’s a thing in creativity, you have two paths, either accept it, go for it me, or get out, there will be no compromise, show prudence, now, then
12:31 am
stay within the limits, stay, become a person in the park, think. and if i refuse, and then you will simply be swept away, like keyinsky, no one will give a penny for your life , tomorrow after the program, time, you know, i thought. go to hell, comrade lenin, whiskey mancatcher, product of the stellar group, what kind of idiot
12:32 am
wrote this letter anyway, and what a cool, cool kostya kevich they could have actually imprisoned, because they imprisoned pop musicians if roman kostomar. if he weren’t a famous legendary athlete, you would fight for him in exactly the same volume, any celebrity, getting into the shock hall, would end up on the same bed, on the same ekmo machine, on the same apparatus, and we don’t have any divisions, consideration of the case of kamilla valieva, of course, they want geniuses like her, because she is truly a genius, they want this to be born in their countries, because if we have her in our country, we will defeat them always, any person who wants... to adequately assess the present, of course he must know history, now they don’t ask, it was you who flew into space, now they say it was you who acted in the film, you tell me differently, he says to me: well, it was you who flew sulipe, i say, no, strange , so it seems, she says she flew with me, i know that
12:33 am
you recently had a very difficult accident, i flew from the back seat forward, i have a concussion, the man got into a standing accident at a speed of 110, he’s not that at all... all nights with you. sokolov began to write a school for fights between two, as they would say in the days pushkin with links, between two, as they would say in sokolov’s time, fools. the second time he will end up in a mental hospital, when, as an adult, he decides to return to his childhood, home, to canada. only now in kashchenko, where his father will hide him, he will have to prove that he is healthy. doctor, i want to leave. abroad, i’m fine, yes, but your father thinks that you shouldn’t go, that you’re dangerous because you’re sick. sokolov will be lucky again, his good friend works at the hospital, she will not allow him to be stuffed with psychotropics, and he will be recognized
12:34 am
sane, realizing that they could not keep their son, the parents would abandon him, when i, two days before departure, i went to the austrian embassy and the ambassador told me that my parents had officially abandoned me, i did not even know that such a form existed , such a divorce, interruption of relations with relatives, they simply wrote this in a letter to the gb, and my sister also abandoned me as if she were a brother. there is nothing keeping him in moscow anymore; it so happens that among his close people he only has unknown professionals who offered to help. all he knows about them, these are the same people who helped brodsky, and brodsky himself says that he seemed
12:35 am
to praise the school. the estate of the professionals in the town of henard, michigan. in their publishing house, karl and lendey named the professor ardis from the english paradise. this is paradise, where else? books by limonov, davlatov, aksenov are published here for the first time, he has been teaching literature at the local university for a year now, joseph brodsky, the eastern end of the empire, is plunging into the night of the cicada, it is he who will be the first to hear the school for fools, the manuscript was sent from an unknown egyptian address. and i tell him, in my opinion genius, i don’t know genius, as linday said, joseph never recognizes genius in anyone else, so, but yes, it’s worth it, it’s worth it, and one of the first who read this manuscript was joseph, he was simply
12:36 am
delighted, joseph was delighted, so - sasha thought then, this will remain in the history of literature, brodsky blessed sokolov, and what will happen later, sokolov will not be told for a long time, the manuscript came to the artets of the non-title page, the author’s surname was missing and brodsky decided that this is a new book by his leningrad friend vladimir marmzina, having learned that he was mistaken, he will call karl and say: you know, karl , i probably got carried away, he said, in fact, this is not worth printing, this is all this, here in leningrad it is like this, every second person can write like this, sokolov and brodsky, so different that you are amazed at how their biographies are combined, lived unrecognized by official literature in leningrad. brodsky is not a poet, and sokolov is not a writer in moscow. fifty- seventh year, leningrad. brodsky gets a job
12:37 am
as a searchlight assistant at the morgue. sixty- first year, moscow, sokolov works orderly and projector at the mortuary. sixty- first year, brodsky comes to samarkand. with a chess friend, they decided to stun the pilot and hijack a plane to kabul. joseph changes his mind at the last moment. 604, turkmenistan, asenguly village, alexander sokolov was detained by kgb officers while trying to cross the turkmen-iranian border. an influential father will hush up the matter. seventy-second godingrad. brodsky is trying to enter into a fictitious marriage with us citizen carland so that he can freely leave the country and return. the authorities will disrupt the wedding. the poet will be called vavir will offer you a choice: either leave, or problems will begin. seventy-fifth year, moscow. sokolov is trying to marry his beloved ahanna. even the transfer funds are the same. the authorities will not allow the marriage and ohana will return to vienna, where she will go on
12:38 am
a dry hunger strike in the church of st. stephen. this will attract the attention of the press and sokolova will be released. on october 8, 1977, sokolov left russia forever. first to austria to johanna, then to enarar to the professionals. there he will meet with brodsky. i was just interested in him as a person, when i... was traveling to enerbor was flying from vienna, i just dreamed of bringing this hour closer, the hour was very familiar to me, the man who met me was already, he was already, already ready to meet me as an enemy and i saw how he was simply cringed when he saw me, he was a clan man, he really helped a lot of people, but he had an illness, a painful rejection
12:39 am
of muscovites, and maybe he felt that i was some kind of rival of his, say, nabokov, nabokov liked the book, but joseph too , maybe liked it, he appreciated it, but, but he was scared, he was just scared, he couldn’t hide this fear, i’m not trying to settle scores, i... appreciate his poetry, and i was probably the only person he treated like that, because in other cases i saw him in groups, he was completely relaxed, uh, with humor, with a great personality, he was constantly whispering, he was always the life of the party, as soon as i appeared , say, in ardis’s house, some kind of person would take him apart, a man... komeneu, enard, michigan, this was their first
12:40 am
american airfield, brodsky landed here in seventy-two, sokolov in seventy- six. university, cathedral, 70,000 inhabitants, not the smallest city in the midwest, but still a bit crowded for two russian writers. this is malbrough street, where joseph brodsky, a teacher at the university of michigan, lives, and from these one and a half corners it’s 5 minutes to the publishing house of the professionals. ardis became a home for both of them, but sokolov also lives in this house,
12:41 am
in this room, on the first floor, they accepted me into the family. so to speak, he is joseph they accepted him as a son, that is, they practically adopted him, but i was like a nephew, at this level, the nephew was coldly greeted by the literary firstborn, besides, this bicycle portrait appeared in ardis’s living room, it was hung by ilendeya, she was between the hammer and kovalneya, between exile and karibnaya, that is , because brodsky was very jealous. he became jealous of her towards me, and karla too, she was afraid, apparently, of upsetting brodsky too much, so she either came closer to me, then moved away, i had to do it a little to isolate myself so as not to upset karma
12:42 am
, in turn, how can i live in their house, study or have some cheap love affair there? sokolova was not only accepted into the family, he was offered to play for ardisk. corl trofer put together an amateur basketball team , but the name just couldn’t be thought of, i said, well, wait, well, it’s very easy, well, well, let’s say, you can do it like this, go ahead. kar said, i didn’t even know that word, this is great, these are idiot fuckers, he says, this is amazing, i’ll call you now, elendey, shouted onday, come here quickly, the name of the team is stupid, i said, what a delight, what a delight, idiot fuckers, i immediately ran to call to call my girlfriends,
12:43 am
we came up with the idea, brodsky... lyubov did not perform, he was a lone striker, he in fact, he loved basketball, and he came to jump around the hoop there, with a sword , while he smoked, of course, held a cigarette between his teeth and threw it into the hoop, sometimes for an hour, once men in black appeared at the professional’s house, to the writer sokolov received it officially. well, maybe there is something we need to find out, maybe
12:44 am
maybe he was unreliable in some sense, apparently they suspected that... that i followed in his footsteps and would do the same thing here, i often received, say, a whole stack of letters, not even sealed, so for a week, two or three no letters , and then immediately 20 letters arrive, all illustrated, open, what did this mean in language, in language, that you can be sure that we know everything about you? as soon as i hit the bottom, that is, suddenly i went somewhere else and just didn’t write anything to anyone, didn’t call, they immediately started to worry, from then on since then, no matter where sasha went along north american highways, the intelligence services always knew his location, and they didn’t try to recruit you here?
12:45 am
no, they didn’t try to recruit, but i often met with people from... local authorities, they invited me to a restaurant for conversations, asked, of course, about obbay, and of course, they didn’t believe me that i knew practically nothing about his activities. ibrodsky and sokolov will soon leave anarbor, brodsky will choose new york, and sokolov will choose the wilderness of vermont, after all, from the very beginning they were in different directions, brodsky carried himself into the world, and sokolov carried himself away from the world legs, if i wanted to shine somewhere out there, i would really live in a city somewhere, like aksenov correctly chose washington, and brodsky ultimately chose new york, of course, this is a springboard, it’s huge , and you are a uysler in the end, and i’m a uysler, i
12:46 am
prefer springboards as a skier. how were they taught there at the school for fools? those who carry their snowflakes on their clothes are usually divided into two types: well dressed and poorly dressed, but justice prevails, the snow is divided equally among everyone. wow, we'll collect moss, we'll take moss and ferns, we'll take everything,
12:47 am
we got the groom hooked up, but what do you think the young people are doing now, like true karelians, of course, rowing, our premiere, we are having a wedding, tomorrow is the first one. stirersman bourbon is a product of stellar. after the school for fools, sokolov will write a book between the dog and the wolf, the afterlife message of the huntsman from the tver forestry. in 1988 , he published the novel polysandria, a lolita on the contrary, stylistically impeccable gerantophilia, and then he fell silent for 30 years, and the russian sellenger published it. the hero above the abyss, the boy holden also dreamed of escape from the world, by the way, to vermont, because, as he said, it’s beautiful there, motherfucker , after the triumph over the varzhi abyss, sellenger will close himself off from the world in his home in
12:48 am
newmpshire, for 45 years, until his death, he will not publish a single book , in the end, silence is the most honest literature for a zen buddhist, sokolov’s new books, those who remember. that they have been waiting for him to be alive for 30 years, but this handsome aging gentleman is in no hurry, his train has not left yet, there are still five whole minutes before departure. fast vancouver, to your childhood city, where he has not been to his native taka for 70 years, odysseus
12:49 am
returns to the first class compartment. if you gave up teaching, it’s still a way of making money, then what did you live on, what do you live on now, if you don’t work and there haven’t been publications for a long time, but now it’s like... the country must be generous, i have a good pension, i i stocked up in advance with a good wife, very smart, who earns a lot, she earns, let’s say, her salary is 100 dollars an hour, that’s a lot of money, for me it’s a lot of money, that is, for us, a dreamy emptiness of the heart, a writer to no one doesn’t write happy, but in the present there is no fear and despair, there is no death, because he is already in the future , in which we are not, and those who read his book after us, it always seemed to me that if i
12:50 am
write, if i manage to write at least a few pages, absolutely, at a very good level, then this will be enough, well, let’s say, people have always been an example for me. who wrote one book, like ershov , who wrote one, actually, a fairy tale, and after that, apparently, he started drinking, that’s it, that’s where his career ended, but he stayed in russian literature forever, just like the authors of the gospel, the apocalypse, for example, and so to speak, a book, reading which... you understand that you are not able to write so well, praised, as only a stylist can praise a stylist, in this case the biblical john the theologian. school for fools and the apocalypse, aka the revelation of john
12:51 am
the theologian, if you listen to their music, are written in the same key. and it is said in the revelation, i know your works, you are neither cold nor hot, but if you were cold or hot. sasha and marlin celebrated the new millennium in brazil in rio, a telegram arrived there from a friend, the parents, for whom their son sasha died in 1975, committed suicide, and he did not know the reason, the circumstances of their death, that
12:52 am
is, i could, of course, call, for example, my sister and to ask, it would probably not be difficult to find her phone number, but i never called moscow at all, in all the years of emigration, what happened to my parents, what happened, i think it was suicide, because ... because i knew for years my mother was so say, planned, she shared her plans with me, she said, it’s time, it’s time - she told me, it’s time to turn on the gas in the kitchen
12:53 am
to sleep, i said, i said, why, why, why, she said, the earth is pulling, and , it was a burden on her, especially after she was already 50 years old, it was probably a burden on her, her life, her psyche apparently could not withstand the load, that’s... the load that she endured here in her spy years, they would have expected him to be arrested, it could happen to any person, more or less high position, did not commit suicide together on the same day, yes, how did you feel
12:54 am
when you found out about this? i was even happy for them, because i can imagine what it was like to live in a new environment, in a new country, in fact, with new orders, with new ones. bosses with a different ideology to live in such an atmosphere, they didn’t regret that they didn’t have time to see them, no, the fact is that in the form of ligaments, a scream is crowded in the throat,
12:55 am
but the time has come, and here, scream, don’t scream, just then, for a long time, someone will not be able to realize how the soldiers were staggering, wiping their swords on the grass.
12:56 am
this is a diplomatic city, very a politicized city, and a business city, it’s not for nothing that there is an old canadian proverb, no one was born in atava, because here there are not so many children, but rather things to do, well, i was such an exception to this funny rule, the russian embassy, now it is surrounded a fence, and behind it a monument to the heroes of the second world war, and therefore to those who wore shoulder straps invisible to the world, his parents? all these houses, i remember, i remember, i was only a little over two years old, but i remember, these, this building, of course. and in general, architecture is air and sky, that’s all such a special feeling that has sunk into the soul, not so much even visually, you immediately
12:57 am
feel with all your skin that you know this place, it’s yours here, for some reason, the last time they stood here with dad and mom was in 1946, on victory day. well, how can one not ask the writer sokolov a question that has been bothering him for a long time: are you writing anything now? well , belomor writes a few lines about the future in his notebook. if any russian writer is lucky again, or what the heck, stand in stockholm town hall and receive a nob literature, it is logical to assume that this will be the case. although sasha himself, in his fantasy about the future, proclaims his friend, the poet alexei tsvetkov, to be the nabelians.
12:58 am
and then one day the future will come, oh, how desirable it is, you will say, how long-awaited it was, all the strife will be burned away, all the sorrows will be assuaged, all the sorrows, and one day, for example, in... and the c will dial the russian-canadian poet sss will congratulate with his centenary he will wish him not to grow old to create. and then thank you - the ss will answer, and add: “i heard that you were awarded the nobel prize.” yes, he will say, finally, otherwise i'm really tired of waiting, and you'll come to the ceremony, of course, just please, don't forget to leave me a countermark at the ticket office, so in december of the same year, they will meet
12:59 am
at the stockholm town hall, and then they will do exactly as they dreamed of the narobievs who once swore mountains to big ones. moored in a marvelous, chic buenos, night and day , now in toygeria, now in this one, friends will be so enchanted by all this tango that they will never return to the port on board their corvette, they will almost never
1:00 am
board. wait, how did he write in this school of his for fools, for some reason they torment us with examples, they say: as if one of us , when we finish school, will go to college and some of us will become engineers, we don’t believe anything like that will not happen, we will never become any kind of engineers, because we are all
1:02 am
terrible fools. you are watching the precious stories podcast and we and its leading director of the all-russian pushkin museum sergei mikhailovich nekrasov and ekaterina varkan, the author of amazingly interesting books that are truly dedicated to jewelry, but jewelry of a dual nature, these are various kinds of rings, rings, and so on, but most importantly, associated with the heroes of our culture, with our great writers,
1:03 am
poets and people from their circle. today our podcast is dedicated to pushkin , and i would like to share sergei mikhailovich ’s doubts about whether everyone actually understands exactly what pushkin is, and it seems to me that during our conversation today, we will try to somehow talk about it, yes, at least let's talk about him as i live. person in any case, i know that in mikhailovskoye, in trigorskoye they pray for him as if he were alive, pushkin loved jewelry very much, well , we don’t know where he had such a passion, maybe it’s from his ancestors, we know that he had african blood, in africa there with stones, with jewelry, associated witchcraft, expression, there is communication with deities, maybe from there, well , he had russian ancestors, and the russians were very fond of jewelry, alexander, dumotets, when... russia left such an impression that
1:04 am
every russian’s hand is covered with rings and diamonds, maybe that’s where it all came from, and we know that pushkin had about a dozen rings, well , quite expensive ones, two rings associated with pushkin’s estate have reached us, that is, real ones that we can see, and there are several legends associated with pushkin. which belonged to him, one of the first - a ring with a lamp, a ring that was made by a group of young people who called it a green lamp, which means the green lamp society, gathered at nikita's in seluzhsky, on the theater square, read poetry, sang there songs, they did a lot of things, so they, it means, to define their community, some kind of their group, so to speak, commitment to each other, yes, they ordered such a ring, about this: it is known, but no one has ever seen it and
1:05 am
i haven’t heard, yes, this is really true, by the way, nikitilovsky’s house, where all this happened, has been preserved in excellent condition, and alexander sergeevich pushkin, when he met him, would later write that this was a momentary friend of his momentary youth, and indeed this was associated with youth this was due to the freedom that pushkin felt after the lyceum imprisonment of the six-year-old, and of course, this was a company of young people who fully felt themselves to be people of their circle, their time and behaved accordingly, by the way, if we talk about the passion for rings, for rings , then, of course, of course, this passion was, and not only among pushkin, but among many others - his contemporaries, it is enough to recall the wonderful phrase to marina tsvitaeva, addressed to the generals of the twelfth year, as
1:06 am
it seems to me, you could, with a hand full of rings, and to caress the curls of maidens, and the manes of dashing horses, so it was a sign of the times, all this is really so, well, while pushkin is vigorous, young and fresh, there is, again, returning to the memory of the green lamp, which many of my acquaintances were surprised when passing past the house, seeing pushkin in the window, which means... being brazenly cut, he waved his wig and sang songs, which means he read poetry and said that i had a damn fever, so they cut my hair, about his fever there may be the wildest suspicions of what he was sick, but in any case, the green lamp was so cheerful, an energetic, young circle, which, thank god, well, so to speak, was called in time and somehow stopped because it did not develop into some more serious, outrageous societies and we... we know, that means that in
1:07 am
the lyceum that pushkin graduated, the lyceum also had a tradition, the graduations ordered their rings for graduates, but we know that pushkin’s graduation did not order rings, again it is known that several graduates had lyceum rings, which yegor antonovichart personally ordered for them, personally from the big some kind of love, sympathy, and there was such a ring missed, and there is a memory that he wore this ring in siberia, they corresponded with ingelgart, here is his portrait of sergei, by the way, and we will also show pushina now, pushchina, he is really very good here, but as we know, pushchina has a destiny was very difficult, which was associated with the uprising of 1825, pushchin is one of these very notable decembrists, participants in the uprising, and of course, in due time we will talk about those
1:08 am
rings that were, the decembrists, a famous story, but in siberia he had a ring, a ring that we can too show, yes, it was, by the way, it really is cast iron, but inside there is silver, this is silver, that means there is an insert on which are written, these are the words, dates, names that were sometimes written for the owners of these wheels, well, that’s interesting that ingelgard ordered from metal, that is, cast iron, so-called for as if he generally foresaw and saw, but cast iron, it is known why there is silver and gold inside, because cast iron does not live with human material and even forged rings from scandals , we know they are laid inside gold or silver, so that a person could wear it, but besides the invention with these rings, we know that he also came up with the sign of the lyceum, well, you mean the coat of arms of the lyceum,
1:09 am
which he came up with, it’s really an owl sitting on a lyre and two ... a wreath on the sides, an oak wreath and a laurel wreath, an oak wreath as a sign of eternity, and so on, and the laurel as a sign of glory, this owl sitting on a lyre, which the lyre is strengthened with a scroll, on the sides these two wreaths, this is what engelhard came up with like the coat of arms of the lyceum, i’ll show this one a little later, no, sergei mikhailovich, now i know that you’re all time, since we... you’re intriguing, well, okay, then i’ll show you now, so, in front of us is herblitz, which was invented by yegor antonovich angelgard, this one is made of pure silver, here it is, and it’s already presented here, and this is ours reproduction, you see below
1:10 am
the inscription 200 years, signs were issued right up to the closure of the lyceum until 1917, and each course marked its closest circle with just such a sign, and i’m also a magician, sergei mikhailovich, you showed the lyceum sign, and i too to you i'll show it now, i also have one, apparently i i also graduated from the lyceum, and then you and i will see what year, what graduation i am, we’ll agree, we’ll do this, but the last few days recently something generally joyful, so to speak, well, for me, at least, surprising, i i didn’t expect the message that there was such a proposal and the president of the russian federation approved it about the revival of the lyceum as a higher educational institution, which will be located in tsarskoye selo, in some places, so to speak, in some old premises, some new ones housings, they will probably be built, in his time , alexander ii, when he started the lyceum, we know
1:11 am
that he was going to raise a new russian elite, apparently this is the same. the idea today, and to you more than anyone, it seems to me that this idea is brilliant and should arouse extraordinary interest, and it seems to me that the only one, one of the main specialists in the lyceum, at least the old lyceum, is sergei mikhalich, thank you, thank you , of course, this idea is very close to me, i am very glad that the president of the russian federation, vladimir putin, supported this idea, but now we continue about the rings. so, after all, we have them, but again, a ring that is not there, which is well known, because after pushkin passed away, his widow allowed us to take some things, alexander sergeevich and different people got different things, including a ring with turquoise from pushkin,
1:12 am
which went to konstantin danzas, a classmate, again pushkin’s policeman, and his second. in general, this deadly duel, but unfortunately, danzan, he was an engineer, a military engineer and traveled a lot, in in the process of life, so to speak, he lost this character. which, in fact, he was very sad about, but ordered it for pushkin as a gift, in my opinion, for his cheeks, yes, absolutely right, let’s clarify then, it means that it was actually ordered by pavel voinovich on shchekin, the closest moscow friend of alexander sergevich pushkin , it was ordered in the spring of 1836, when pushkin was in moscow for the last time, and he marked up this gift, so, of course, it was a very valuable thing, and uh, danzas was very upset when this happened, he understood when he lost it, he was paying the driver in the winter, and
1:13 am
the ring flew off his hand right into the snow , so no matter how long they looked for it, they couldn’t find it, but the gift was in the cheek, it seems to me that too was not without humor and not without hints, because we know that after a certain prediction, one of the petersburg years to pushkin that he would die from a white man or a white horse, pushkin was very wary, wary of horses, and turquoise is considered a stone that warns against falling from a horse or some such things, so to speak, and then we traveled not only on horseback, but in a carriage, the carriage could overturn, in general there were a lot of troubles, and nashchokin thus hinted to his friend that now he was not at all afraid of it, no horses, but we we can give one here too. this is true
1:14 am
, by the way, not only this stone was considered a stone that protected against violent death, and as he claimed, on the day of the duel, exactly january 27, pushkin went to the duel without wearing this ring. in a land where there is eternal snow and cold, people wear earflaps all year round, and to keep warm by drinking a lot, all the people are dancing in a crouch, they are flying into the unknown, they are taking revenge, they are attacking novosiersk, at one secret base, corn syrup , you can take it, the man is hardy, he is strong there, he has no hardships, no matter what, he even solves problems in space with a wrench. here is the kazan gym, only it is open to members, and somewhere there in the background, the wonderful anayaash
