What was the Belogorsk fortress, the orders established in it? Composition Pushkin A.S. What is the Belgorod fortress on the eve of Pugachev's entry into it What is the captain's daughter Belogorsk fortress

What was the Belgorod fortress, the orders established in it? The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low. People in the fortress are accustomed to the fact that active hostilities do not take place here, the service goes on calmly.

Captain Mironov and Vasilisa Yegorovna, his wife, have been living here for many years. Vasilisa Egorovna takes part in all the affairs of her husband, the situation in the fortress is almost homely. It produced on Grinev

A depressing impression. How to explain such a “family” nature of relations between people in the fortress?

This was due to the morals of the commandant of the fortress and his wife. These are people of the old way, they treated their subordinates without ceremony, and most of the soldiers were local residents. This was also determined by the fact that strict discipline was not required, since minor unrest of the Bashkirs was not dangerous. Tell us about its inhabitants.

Ivan Kuzmich, the commandant of the fortress, and his wife, Vasilisa Yegorovna, show an example of the old patriarchal way of life. They live in perfect harmony, Vasilisa Egorovna supports her husband in everything, comments (not without a share of irony) on his actions, and gives advice. From her remarks, we learn that the captain "does not know sense" in the service, respectively, cannot teach his subordinates anything. Vasilisa Yegorovna Shvabrin calls "a beautiful lady."

We learn about Shvabrin that he has been in the fortress for the fifth year, is here as a punishment for a duel that ended in death. Shvabrin tries to make friends with Grinev, he manages to do this. In this chapter, he is characterized as a witty, cheerful person.

Marya Ivanovna is the daughter of Captain Mironov. She is a pretty eighteen year old girl. It is not yet clear why Shvabrin, in a conversation with Grinev, described her as a fool.

But the reader understands that she is sensitive (does not tolerate firing from cannons), brought up in the old traditions, not rich (the Mironovs are poor, but regret it only because it may prevent their daughter from getting married). What is the meaning of the soldier's song, which is the epigraph to Chapter III? Recall that the epigraph is one of the means of expressing the author's position.

It is in the epigraphs that we guess the personality of A. S. Pushkin, since the narration is conducted on behalf of the main character. The author ironically uses the following epigraph: the Belgorod fortress bears little resemblance to a fortification, and “fierce enemies” have not yet been here. This brave song does not correspond to what is actually here.

The second quote from Fovizin's "Undergrowth" also sets the reader in an ironic mood: "strange people" in the sense that they are very far from the world, not developed properly, because they are far from the center of Russia, from large cities. What are your impressions of each of the characters? The characters are underrepresented.

We have just started reading. But impressions about each of them have already developed. Ivan Kuzmich Mironov is no longer a young commandant of the fortress, he does not keep a strict order, since, apparently, he considers it optional. He listens to his wife.

Vasilisa Egorovna is a very skillful housekeeper, she knows how to clearly and correctly organize life so that everyone feels at home. Interested in the fate of other people. Marya Ivanovna is a modest, sweet girl who obeys her parents in everything, brought up in a patriarchal family, perceives her way of life as natural.

Shvabrin evoked an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, this is a cheerful, witty person. On the other hand, Grinev's remark that Shvabrin presented Masha as a complete fool is alarming.

It can be assumed that Shvabrin has dark feelings and thoughts.

Chapter II. Counselor Why does the chapter begin with a folk song? This is an epigraph to the chapter, which reflects the main content of the chapter, as well as the author's assessment of what is happening.

Summary - Analysis of the third chapter of the work "The Captain's Daughter"

The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low. People in the fortress are accustomed to the fact that active hostilities do not take place here, the service goes on calmly. Captain Mironov and Vasilisa Yegorovna, his wife, have been living here for many years. Vasilisa Egorovna takes part in all the affairs of her husband, the situation in the fortress is almost homely. This made a depressing impression on Grinev.

How to explain such a "family" nature of relations between people in the fortress?

Tell us about its inhabitants.

Ivan Kuzmich, the commandant of the fortress, and his wife, Vasilisa Yegorovna, show an example of the old patriarchal way of life. They live in perfect harmony, Vasilisa Egorovna supports her husband in everything, comments (not without a share of irony) on his actions, and gives advice. From her remarks, we learn that the captain "does not know any sense" in the service, respectively, cannot teach his subordinates anything. Vasilisa Egorovna Shvabrin calls "a beautiful lady."

Marya Ivanovna is the daughter of Captain Mironov. She is a pretty eighteen year old girl. It is not yet clear why Shvabrin, in a conversation with Grinev, described her as a fool. But the reader understands that she is sensitive (does not tolerate firing from cannons), brought up in the old traditions, not rich (the Mironovs are poor, but regret it only because it may prevent their daughter from getting married).

What is the meaning of the soldier's song, which is the epigraph to Chapter III?

Recall that the epigraph is one of the means of expressing the author's position. It is in the epigraphs that we guess the personality of A.S. Pushkin, as the narration is conducted on behalf of the protagonist. The author ironically uses the following epigraph: the Belgorod fortress bears little resemblance to a fortification, and “fierce enemies” have not yet been here. This brave song does not correspond to what is actually here.

What are your impressions of each of the characters?

The characters are underrepresented. We have just started reading. But impressions about each of them have already developed.

Ivan Kuzmich Mironov is no longer a young commandant of the fortress, he does not keep a strict order, since, apparently, he considers it optional. He listens to his wife.

Vasilisa Egorovna is a very skillful housekeeper, she knows how to clearly and correctly organize life so that everyone feels at home. Interested in the fate of other people.

Marya Ivanovna is a modest, sweet girl who obeys her parents in everything, brought up in a patriarchal family, perceives her way of life as natural.

Shvabrin evoked an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, this is a cheerful, witty person. On the other hand, Grinev's remark that Shvabrin presented Masha as a complete fool is alarming. It can be assumed that Shvabrin has dark feelings and thoughts.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, the great Russian poet, wrote not only poetic, but also prose works, especially at the end of his creative activity. The ultimate perfection of Pushkin's prose reaches in his last major work - the historical story "The Captain's Daughter". Deeply and carefully, based on archival materials, Pushkin studies the era of the Pugachev uprising, travels to the scene of the novel - in the Volga region, in the Orenburg steppes, where the living memory of the leader of the popular movement is still preserved. According to V. O. Klyuchevsky, in The Captain's Daughter, based on a thorough study of historical sources, which is distinguished by its enormous power of generalization, "there is more history than in the History of the Pugachev Rebellion."

The Belogorsk fortress, in which the young Grinev was to serve, was located "forty miles from Orenburg" and was a village surrounded by a log fence. At the gate, Grinev saw "a cast-iron cannon; the streets were cramped and crooked; the huts were low and mostly covered with straw." The commandant himself was located in a simple wooden house built on a high place near a wooden church.

The first meeting with the commandant made an extraordinary impression on the young man: he was "a vigorous and tall old man, in a cap and a Chinese robe", he commanded twenty "old invalids" lined up "in front". In less than a few weeks, Grinev's life in the Belogorsk fortress became for him "not only tolerable, but even pleasant." In the commandant's house, he "was received as a native"; Ivan Kuzmich and his wife were "the most respectable people." The commandant became an officer "from soldiers' children", was a simple man, poorly educated, but "honest and kind." Mironov zealously fulfilled his duty, serving the Empress and punishing her enemies. In the face of death, he showed extraordinary courage.

Vasilisa Egorovna, a simple and hospitable woman, met Pyotr Grinev in the fortress as if she had known him for a century. She "looked at the affairs of the service as if they were her master's, and managed the fortress as precisely as she did her house." For twenty years she and her husband lived in this fortress. She was accustomed to a military way of life, subject to dangers, and even in the terrible days of the Pugachev turmoil, she did not leave her husband and was not afraid to share her fate with him.

Marya Ivanovna, the daughter of Captain Mironov, lived in the fortress with her parents. She was accustomed to such a life from childhood, but, despite the soldier's environment, she grew up to be a thin, sensitive girl. An independent mind, courage, the ability for deep sincere feelings, loyalty to a given word are the main character traits of Masha Mironova. For the sake of love and friendship, she is capable of real heroism. Everyone who knows her likes her, Savelich calls her "God's angel".

The old servant of the Grinevs, Savelich, is the personification of a bright folk character. Truthfulness, good nature, courage, human dignity are inherent in him. He selflessly serves his masters, all his desires, feelings and thoughts are subordinate to the masters. He looks at everything through the eyes of his masters, and therefore Pugachev for him, a simple man, is a villain and a swindler.

The fortress was inhabited by people of a different kind, opposed to the "old guard".

Officer Shvabrin is a representative of a noble family. This is a typical brilliant guards officer, a wealthy nobleman, not devoid of intelligence, but who received a superficial education. He is spoiled, used to the fact that all his desires are fulfilled. In addition, Shvabrin is an envious, cowardly and arrogant egoist who became a supporter of Pugachev, not out of ideological, but out of selfish reasons.

In the images of the inhabitants of the Belogorsk fortress, the author seeks to convey to the readers his idea that the "indigenous" nobility, who did so much in the creation of the Russian state, pushed aside from power, disillusioned, retains the best estate properties, and the "new nobility" represented by Shvabrin , which has acquired political and economic power, is deprived of nobility, conscience, honor and love for the motherland.

The city of Belgorod is located on the southern outskirts of the Central Russian Upland, on the right bank of the Seversky Donets River (the right tributary of the Don).

The coat of arms of the city of Belgorod of the sample of 1893 is a blue shield, on which there is an image of a golden lion with red eyes and a tongue. A silver eagle with a golden beak, eyes and claws soars above his head. In the upper right corner of the shield, in the so-called free part, is the coat of arms of the Kursk province. The top of the shield is crowned with a silver tower crown with three prongs - the symbol of the county town. Behind the shield there are two golden hammers placed crosswise, connected by an Alexander ribbon, which attributed Belgorod to industrial cities. It should be added that for the first time the symbols of the Belgorod emblem - a lion and an eagle soaring above it - appeared on the banner of the Belgorod army infantry regiment back in 1712 and were approved by Peter I to commemorate the merits of the Belgorod infantry regiment in the Battle of Poltava: the lion depicted defeated Sweden (the image of a lion was present on the royal banner of Charles XII), and the eagle - Russia, as it was depicted on the banner of Tsar Peter I

It was previously believed that the city of Belgorod was built in 1593 (in some sources the date 1596 is found) by princes M. Nozdrevaty and A. Volkonsky, by order of Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, to protect Muravsky Way - the shortest route from Crimea to Moscow - from frequent raids of the Crimean Tatars. However, on the basis of archaeological research, it was concluded that the settlement on which modern Belgorod stands arose as early as the 10th century, or rather in 995. According to the same version, Prince Vladimir became the founder of the settlement. Thus, from this date today the city of Belgorod begins its history, thus acquiring a thousand-year history and officially celebrating this date in 1995.

The city-fortress was named after its geographical location - the definition of "white" was associated with the color of the soil of the rocky chalk White Mountain, on which it was built and as a result rose almost 60 m. From the east, access to the fortress was blocked by the waters of the Seversky Donets, from the south and north - a deep ravine. On the western side of the mountain closely adjoined the forest.

Initially, the basis of the Belgorod fortress was a quadrangular Kremlin with travel and deaf towers. The fortress walls, the length of which reached 1 km, were located on an earthen rampart covered with baked clay.

A ditch up to 2 m deep was dug in front of the city walls. Since all the wells dug in the fortress were poorly filled with water, 2 hiding places were made: one led to the Seversky Donets, the other to the ravine on the bank of the Yachnev Kolodez stream.

At the beginning of the XVII century. the garrison of the Belgorod Kremlin repeatedly repulsed the attacks of the Tatar detachments, but in 1612 the city was captured and burned by the Cherkasy under the command of Prince Lyka Lubensky.

The newly rebuilt fortress is located on the left, low-lying bank of the Seversky Donets River. The new Belgorod fortress had the shape of a trapezoid and consisted of a citadel protected by chopped walls and 8 oak towers over 3.5 m high. and Donetsk - were travel.

In the event of an enemy attack, the defenders of the fortress were located mainly in the towers.

In total, along the walls and towers of the city there were 2 one-and-a-half squeaks, 3 Alexandrian cannons, 2 iron rapid-fire squeaks, 3 mattresses, 4 regimental squeaks, including 1 mounted on a marching machine and intended for fire destruction of the enemy in the event of his breakthrough through the city fortifications, as well as 6 large squeakers. The location of the towers about 80 m apart and the presence of a moat in front of the guard wall made the defense quite effective.

The powerful fortifications of Belgorod made it the main military and administrative center on the southern border of the Russian state. In 1633, during the Smolensk War, the city was attacked by a 5,000-strong detachment of Ukrainian Cossacks-Cherkasy under the command of Poltava colonel Yakov Ostryanin.

The enemy failed to take the fortress on the move, and only after a month-long siege did they decide to re-assault. The garrison of Belgorod, which by this time numbered about 2 thousand people, recaptured it as well.

The enemy suffered such great damage that Ostryanin was forced to lift the siege from the Belgorod Kremlin and withdraw the remnants of his detachment to the borders of the Commonwealth.

Throughout the 17th century The Belgorod fortress was rebuilt several times. In the final version, it consisted of two prisons - wooden and earthen. The wooden prison was called Belgorod Menshoy.

It had 4 travel and 7 deaf towers and oak walls with a length of more than 1 km. From the east, an earthen prison, called Belgorod Bolshoi, adjoined the Lesser Belgorod.

On its territory there were 2 monasteries, 9 churches and 353 yards of service people.

In 1658, the Belgorod regiment was formed on the territory of the city, which successfully operated against the Polish and Turkish troops in Ukraine, and in other military campaigns. However, at the beginning of the 18th century, after the annexation of Ukraine, the strategic importance of Belgorod decreased significantly. Soon after the conquest of the Crimea and the annexation of the Novorossiysk Territory to Russia in 1785, the city finally lost its military and strategic importance and was excluded from the number of active fortresses.

What is the meaning of the soldier's song, which is the epigraph to Chapter III?

What are your impressions of each of the characters?

The characters are underrepresented. We have just started reading. But impressions about each of them have already developed.

Ivan Kuzmich Mironov is no longer a young commandant of the fortress, he does not keep a strict order, since, apparently, he considers it optional. He listens to his wife.

Vasilisa Egorovna is a very skillful housekeeper, she knows how to clearly and correctly organize life so that everyone feels at home. Interested in the fate of other people.

Marya Ivanovna is a modest, sweet girl who obeys her parents in everything, brought up in a patriarchal family, perceives her way of life as natural.

The Belogorsk fortress was a village lost in the steppe, surrounded by a tyn that had rotted in many places. The majority of the population consisted of disabled soldiers (a disabled person, that is, who had left military age, but remained in the ranks of the army) teams that made up a garrison of one hundred and thirty people, and Cossacks. Orders in the fortress were the most domestic - Vasilisa Yegorovna, the wife of the captain, was in charge of everything. To a large extent, this was due to the fact that both the soldiers and their commanders, except for Shvabrin, were themselves peasants, lived on subsistence farming, and there had never been a military threat as such. Peaceful uncomplicated life dictated its own rules of existence. Minor unrest of a few gangs of Bashkirs and Kirghiz were relatively harmless, and they had not been for many years. Most of the soldiers had already grown old in the service in Belogorskaya, their commander and his wife had lived there for twenty years.
Ivan Kuzmich was an old campaigner, stupid, but honest and kind. He became an officer from the children of soldiers and deep down he continued to be a soldier. His nobility (and only a nobleman could be an officer) was deprived of even that minimal aristocracy that Grinev's parents possessed. He sometimes recalled the service and tried to “teach” the soldiers, trying to explain to them where the right and where the left leg was, but his wife constantly pulled him up and, from the point of view of everyday life, was, as a rule, completely right.
Vasilisa Yegorovna was not a stupid woman, talkative and curious, like any brisk village woman who was forced to manage a large household, and she considered the whole fortress to be her household. She adored the news and everything that added variety to a boring life, tried to keep everything in her hands, which she succeeded in doing, since she was the commandant's wife. Of course, her horizons were minimal, and the fact that Grinev's father owned three hundred serfs made a deep impression on her, while it was a very small number of serf souls in Catherine's time.
Marya Ivanovna, their daughter, was a quiet, silent woman, easily embarrassed, but very sincere and sincere. She was a marriageable girl, but in such a wilderness it was not at all easy to meet an interesting person. Masha possessed great cordial sensitivity and intuitively could feel the qualities of a person, so she shunned Shvabrin.
Aleksey Ivanovich Shvabrin at first gave the impression of a witty and uninhibited person who knew the value of local secrets and good-naturedly teased them. Later it turns out that this impression is deceptive, and Shvabrin harbors a deep wound in his soul.
On the one hand, the soldier's song put in the epigraph sets the reader in a certain brave mood and tells what the chapter should be about, on the other hand, it is a kind of humor of the author. Indeed, the wooden fence around the village can hardly be called a "fortress". in the song it is sung about a cannon, and it seems that it is just about the cannon from the story, because it was the only noise. The quote from Fonvizin's "Undergrowth" orients just such a perception. It is the “old people” who turn out to be the inhabitants of the Belogorsk fortress cut off from the world.

Visually imagine a picture that is contained in just one phrase: "The river has not yet frozen, and its leaden waves blackened sadly in the monotonous banks covered with white snow." Describe the epithets that are used here.

Lead waves create a sharp contrast with the white shores covered with snow. Before us is a landscape of the beginning of winter, depicted graphically. It is very reminiscent of an engraving, and its outlines create an unsettling mood. Before the viewer, not only the colors of the beginning of winter appear, but also a certain mood is created. So, the epithet lead conveys the heavy movement of freezing water.

Carefully read the description of the Belogorsk fortress and compare it with the imaginary fortress that Petrusha expected to see. How could the idea of a mighty fortress be formed in the minds of a minor?

Petrusha did not read much, but even in the fairy tales that he could hear from his mothers and nannies, there were fairy-tale palaces and impregnable fortresses. They are always drawn in our minds as mighty, built of powerful stones and leaving their walls and towers up. It is worth imagining such a fortress for a moment, and then re-reading the description of a poor and neglected structure, which was the Belogorsk fortress. At the same time, you will immediately feel the strength of the disappointment that should have seized Petrusha.

Describe the first appearance of a new officer at the fortress commandant's. With what feeling does the narrator describe this scene? How does this description relate to the second epigraph of the chapter (“Old people, my father”)? Recall that these are words from D. I. Fonvizin's "Undergrowth". Who says this line in comedy?

Let's not forget that the narration in the story is conducted on behalf of Pyotr Grinev, who has matured and recalls his youth. The scene of the appearance of Petrusha at the commandant of the Belogorsk fortress is described with a feeling of sympathy and a slight smile of the elder over the naive undergrowth, who found himself in a new environment. The simplicity and patriarchy of the life of the inhabitants of the fortress evoke emotion and help to immediately appreciate the new participants in the events of the story. They are indeed "old people". But such a definition does not detract from their dignity. The patriarchal nature of life, the steadfast adherence to customs only support the atmosphere of sympathy that arises when reading.

There is no irony in the epigraph to the chapter. Let us remind you that these are the words of Mrs. Prostakova from the comedy "Undergrowth" (act three, scene V).

Give portraits of those "old people" whom Grinev recognized in the Belogorsk fortress.

The story about the people that Pyotr Grinev recognized in the Belogorsk fortress can be told in the order of their appearance on the pages of the chapter. The first was an "old disabled person" who, sitting on a table, sewed on a patch on the elbow of a green uniform. He immediately said to the newcomer: "Come in, father, our houses."

The “old woman in a padded jacket”, who, together with the “crooked old man in an officer's uniform”, unwound the threads, was Vasilisa Yegorovna - the wife of the commandant - the main person in this provincial little world.

She tells Grinev about Shvabrin and summons police officer Maksimych, a young and stately Cossack.

Grinev is getting used to his new environment. It becomes obvious to the reader that the relations of people in the Belogorsk fortress are completely determined by the words from The Undergrowth.

Those who wish can prepare a story - a genre sketch of the life of the Belogorsk fortress in peacetime.

The story about the peaceful course of life in the Belogorsk fortress may well coincide with the retelling of chapter III "The Fortress". It is worth talking about a very modest strengthening, patriarchal way of life, and about the inextricable connection with official decisions, which are still made in peacetime, about how the military service is going. You can enter into this story, for example, a description of how the hut was chosen for Grinev to live. “Take Pyotr Andreevich to Semyon Kuzov. He, a swindler, let his horse into my garden. Here is the motive for the standing of the newly arrived officer. material from the site

Carefully read the brief description of the landscape that opens from the window of Semyon Kuzov's hut, to which Grinev was assigned at the post. What role does this description play in the chapter?

The place where Grinev was assigned to live was on the very edge of the fortress, on the high bank of the river. “A sad steppe stretched out before me. Several huts stood askew; Several chickens were wandering around the street. The old woman, standing on the porch with a trough, called the pigs, who answered her with friendly grunts. This description prepared the reader for the realization of the state of the young officer: “And this is the direction in which I was condemned to spend my youth!”

Describe the participants in the conversation about Pugachev and his uprising. What was the main topic of this conversation?

The conversation about the uprising went on at dinner and was of the most casual character. At the same time, all participants in this conversation touched upon the topic of military danger only in passing, not considering that trouble could threaten their fortress. Vasilisa Egorovna's courage and the fact that Masha is a big coward were discussed in much more detail.
