So lived Mikhail Vlasov, a locksmith, hairy, gloomy, with small eyes; they looked suspiciously from under thick brows, with a wicked smile. The best locksmith at the factory and the first strongman in the settlement, he behaved rudely with his superiors and therefore earned little, every holiday he beat someone, and everyone did not like him, they were afraid. They also tried to beat him, but to no avail. When Vlasov saw that people were coming at him, he grabbed a stone, a board, a piece of iron in his hands and, legs wide apart, silently awaited the enemies. His face, overgrown with a black beard from eyes to neck, and hairy hands inspired fear in everyone. His eyes were especially feared - small, sharp, they drilled people like steel gimlets, and everyone who met their gaze felt a wild force in front of him, inaccessible to fear, ready to beat mercilessly. "Well, go away, you bastard!" he said dully. Large yellow teeth gleamed through thick hair on his face. People dispersed, cursing him with cowardly howling curses. - Bastard! he said curtly after them, and his eyes shone with a sharp grin like an awl. Then, holding his head defiantly straight, he followed them and called out: Well, who wants to die? Nobody wanted. He spoke little, and "bastard" was his favorite word. He called them the bosses of the factory and the police, with him he turned to his wife. “You bastard, don’t you see—the pants are torn!” When Pavel, his son, was fourteen years old, Vlasov wanted to pull him by the hair. But Paul picked up a heavy hammer and said curtly:- Don't touch... - What? asked the father, advancing on the tall, thin figure of his son, like a shadow on a birch. - Will be! Pavel said. - I won't give up anymore... And he waved his hammer. The father looked at him, hid his hairy hands behind his back, and, grinning, said:- Okay... Then, taking a deep breath, he added: - Oh, you bastard... Shortly thereafter, he told his wife: “Don’t ask me for more money, Pashka will feed you ... “Are you going to drink everything?” she dared to ask. "None of your business, you bastard!" I'll take my mistress... He did not take a mistress, but from that time, for almost two years, until his death, he did not notice his son and did not speak to him. He had a dog, as big and furry as himself. She accompanied him to the factory every day and waited at the gate every evening. On holidays, Vlasov went to go to taverns. He walked silently and, as if wanting to find someone, scratched people's faces with his eyes. And the dog followed him all day long, with his big, fluffy tail down. Returning home drunk, he sat down to supper and fed the dog from his cup. He did not beat her, did not scold her, but he never caressed her either. After dinner, he threw the dishes from the table to the floor if his wife did not have time to remove them in time, put a bottle of vodka in front of him and, leaning back against the wall, in a dull voice that made me sad, howled a song, opening his mouth wide and closing his eyes. Mournful, ugly sounds tangled in his mustache, knocking bread crumbs off them, the locksmith straightened the hair of his beard and mustache with thick fingers and sang. The words of the song were somehow incomprehensible, stretched out, the melody was reminiscent of the winter howling of wolves. He sang for the time being, while there was vodka in the bottle, and then he fell sideways on a bench or put his head on the table and slept until the whistle. The dog lay next to him. He died of a hernia. For five days, all blackened, he tossed and turned in bed, tightly closing his eyes, and gritting his teeth. Sometimes he said to his wife: - Give me arsenic, poison ... The doctor ordered to give Mikhail a poultice, but said that an operation was needed and that the patient should be taken to the hospital that very day. - Go to hell - I'll die myself! .. You bastard! Mikhail croaked. And when the doctor left and his wife, with tears, began to persuade him to agree to the operation, he clenched his fist and, threatening her, declared: "I'll get better - you'll get worse!" He died in the morning, in those minutes when the whistle called for work. In the coffin lay with open mouth but his brows were furrowed angrily. His wife, son, dog, old drunkard and thief Danila Vyesovshchikov, who was driven out of the factory, and several suburban beggars were buried. The wife wept quietly and a little, Pavel did not weep. The Slobozhans, meeting the coffin on the street, stopped and, crossing themselves, said to each other: - Tea, Palageya is glad, dear, that he died ... Some have corrected: - Not dead, but dead... When the coffin was buried, the people left, but the dog remained and, sitting on the fresh earth, sniffed the grave in silence for a long time. A few days later someone killed her...Current page: 4 (total book has 7 pages) [available reading excerpt: 2 pages]

A. M. Gorky's novel "Mother"
A. M. Gorky's novel "Mother"
The novel "Mother" was conceived by Gorky as a kind of "gospel of socialism". As is usually written literary critics, this novel, which has the central idea of the resurrection from darkness human soul, filled Christian symbols: in the course of action, the analogy between the revolutionaries and the biblical apostles is repeatedly played out; Pavel Vlasov's friends merge in the dreams of his mother into the image of the collective Christ, with the son in the center, Pavel himself is associated with Christ, and Nilovna with the Mother of God, who sacrifices her son for the salvation of the world. The central episode of the novel, the May Day demonstration, in the eyes of one of the characters turns into procession in the name of "the New God, the God of light and truth, the God of reason and good." Pavel's path, as you know, ends with a kind of "sacrifice on the cross". All these moments were deeply thought out by Gorky. He was sure that the element of faith was very important in introducing the people to socialist ideas (in the 1906 articles "On the Jews" and "On the Bund" he directly wrote that socialism is the religion of the masses).
For whom did Gorky propose this religion? We read the lines about Pavel's father:
So lived Mikhail Vlasov, a locksmith, hairy, gloomy, with small eyes; they looked suspiciously from under thick brows, with a wicked smile. The best locksmith at the factory and the first strongman in the settlement, he behaved rudely with his superiors and therefore earned little, every holiday he beat someone, and everyone did not like him, they were afraid. They also tried to beat him, but to no avail. When Vlasov saw that people were coming at him, he grabbed a stone, a board, a piece of iron in his hands and, legs wide apart, silently awaited the enemies. His face, overgrown with a black beard from eyes to neck, and hairy hands inspired fear in everyone. His eyes were especially feared - small, sharp, they drilled into people like steel gimlets, and everyone who met their gaze felt a wild force in front of him, inaccessible to fear, ready to beat mercilessly.
- Well, go away, you bastard! he said dully. Large yellow teeth gleamed through thick hair on his face. People dispersed, cursing him with cowardly howling curses.
- Bastard! he said shortly after them, and his eyes shone with a sharp, awl-like grin. Then, holding his head defiantly straight, he followed them and called out:
- Well, - who wants to die?
Nobody wanted.
He spoke little, and "bastard" was his favorite word.
“He earned little,” but somehow Gorky does not write what the family needed, what they could not buy. When Mikhail Vlasov fell ill, a doctor came to him and offered to perform an operation - again, Gorky does not write that there was no money for a doctor, for an operation in a hospital. Mikhail himself refused the operation.
But maybe the Vlasov family lived in the basement, in the barracks, in the "bed-room dormitory"? No, all the workers of this factory lived in a suburb in separate houses (they rented them), and, apparently, the rent was not a burden, otherwise Gorky would certainly have mentioned this.
What were these houses? Here is the Vlasov house, a family of three:
Their house stood on the edge of the settlement, at a low but steep descent to the swamp. A third of the house was occupied by the kitchen and a small room, separated from it by a thin partition, in which the mother slept. The remaining two-thirds square room with two windows; in one corner of it is Pavel's bed, in the front there is a table and two benches. A few chairs, a chest of drawers for linen, a small mirror on it, a chest with a dress, a clock on the wall and two icons in the corner - that's all.
Paul did everything he had to young guy: bought an accordion, a shirt with a starched chest, a bright tie, galoshes, a cane and became the same as all teenagers of his years. He went to parties, learned to dance the square dance and the polka, returned home drunk on holidays and always suffered greatly from vodka. The next morning I had a headache, suffered from heartburn, my face was pale and dull.
A separate house, even if small, was not so bad for a family of three (and after the death of his father, for two) at that time. Let me remind you that in the USSR even in the 1970s. they were put on a waiting list for housing with a living space of less than 4.5 m 2 per person (later less than 6 sq. m per person), and housing was given at the rate of 12 m 2 per person - it seems that the Vlasov family had no less before the death of his father. So in the USSR, even in the 1970s. they would not have been put on the waiting list for housing improvements, and their footage was in line with the Soviet norms of the 1970s.
And where is poverty, need, malnutrition in the Vlasov family? While still a teenager, Pavel earns enough at the factory to pay the rent of a separate house, and dress up, and buy an accordion (an expensive purchase). By the way, remember that the action of the novel takes place around 1904-1905, and subsequently the standard of living of workers and their social security has steadily increased.
Well, in those years, the All-Russian Workers' Union of Zubatov operated at many large factories, which introduced workers to both study and culture - but Gorky could not describe such a more typical factory for that time. His novel would not have turned out in such a factory.
Well, was life hopeless and hopeless in the described working settlement?
It seems not. Here Pavel Vlasov started the right way:
And there was something new in his attitude to his mother: he sometimes swept the floor in the room, he made his own bed on holidays, in general he tried to make her work easier. No one in the community did this.
Once he brought and hung a picture on the wall - three people, talking, walked somewhere easily and cheerfully.
- It's the risen Christ going to Emmaus! Pavel explained.
Mother liked the picture, but she thought: “You revere Christ, but you don’t go to church…”
There were more and more books on the shelf, beautifully made to Pavel by a fellow carpenter. The room looked pleasant. He told her "you" and called her "mom".
But at the same time, Pavel Vlasov falls under the influence of the socialists. Why are they starting to tease him? Reading...
It's clear. Natural history by Darwin. Like, not God created man, but monkeys. It is also interesting that these "mentors" do not appeal at all to the fact that the workers live poorly financially. Here is what the main “mentor”, a crest named Nakhodka, says:
There are a lot of well-fed, honest ones! We must build a bridge across the swamp of this rotting life to the future kingdom of kindness of the heart, this is our business, comrades!
Well, his accomplice, the son of the thief Danida, known to the settlement, adds:
- It's time to fight, so there is no time to heal your hands! Vyesovshchikov objected dully.
Gradually, these socialists are expanding their activities in the village, printing leaflets. And what about the suburban workers? Reading:
Elderly people who had good earnings at the factory cursed:
- Troubles! For such things, you need to beat the face!
And they carried the sheets to the office. The youth read the proclamations with enthusiasm:
- Truth!
The majority, crammed with work and indifferent to everything, lazily responded:
- Nothing will happen, - is it possible?
But the leaflets agitated people, and if they were not there for a week, people would already say to each other:
- They apparently quit printing ...
And on Monday the leaflets appeared again, and again the workers made a muffled noise. In the tavern and in the factory they noticed new ones, no one famous people. They questioned, examined, sniffed and immediately caught everyone's eyes, some with suspicious caution, others with excessive obsession.
Y-yes... All this socialist agitation looks somehow mean.
The socialists look vile, vile in this "gospel" of socialism from Maxim Gorky.
And in the story with the "swamp penny" - instead of negotiating with the management, to achieve conditions acceptable to both sides and together do a good deed, drain the swamp, immediately - a booze and a strike. Moreover, it was the same with Gorky: the workers do not feel sorry for this penny for draining the swamp, but it is the socialists who incite the workers to strike - immediately, without negotiations.
And it is clear that the main thing for them, for the socialists, is to incite hatred. And, even worse, to achieve blood - in conversations between themselves, they directly talk about this.
So the “dearest leader” Andrey Onisimovich Nakhodka opened his face:
- For comrades, for the cause - I can do anything! And I will kill. Though son...
- Oh, Andryusha! the mother exclaimed softly. He smiled at her and said:
- It can't be otherwise! Such a life!.. .
But it turns out that he had already killed - not yet his son, but the factory timekeeper, who offered him to come to his senses.
The whole philosophy of these “saviors of the world” revolves around the fact that it is necessary to expel Jesus Christ from the soul of a Russian person (the socialists and their leaders understand exactly that it is he, Christ, who is the main obstacle in their way!) and replace Christ in the soul with some kind of “god- friend” (as Andrei Onisimovich calls him), but in essence - to replace the true God with the illusion of a coming universal paradise on Earth, without God and against God.
And the unfortunate mother, Nilovna, was caught in their nets by these lost souls. But her heart, from the very beginning, correctly suggested that darkness and horror were behind all this:
It suddenly became difficult for her to breathe. Opening her eyes wide, she looked at her son, he seemed alien to her. He had a different voice - lower, thicker and more resonant. He plucked his thin, fluffy mustache with his fingers and strangely, frowningly looked somewhere in the corner. She was afraid for her son and felt sorry for him.
- Why are you doing this, Pasha? she said. He raised his head, looked at her, and quietly, calmly answered:
- I want to know the truth.
His voice was soft but firm, and his eyes shone stubbornly. She realized in her heart that her son had doomed himself forever to something secret and terrible. Everything in life seemed inevitable to her, she was accustomed to obey without thinking, and now she only wept softly, unable to find words in her heart, compressed by grief and longing.
Of course, I feel sorry for Pavel Vlasov and the unfortunate Pelageya Nilovna, but first of all, I feel sorry for those who have gone astray, as lost, as seduced by an illusion ...
Gorky was fond of the so-called god-building and believed that it was the working class that was the source of the "worship of socialism." The expression "the gospel of socialism" came from the Narodniks, and the novel "Mother" was written precisely as the gospel - that is, the "good news" - of socialism.
Well, since this novel is really precisely the "gospel of socialism", then - from the point of view of people who know the Bible (even if they are unbelievers) - the main theoretical question lies in who (or what) is put in the place of Jesus Christ, and what sacrifices the adherents of the new "gospel" are ready to make for the sake of their faith.
Gorky, through the lips of Andrey Nakhodka, claims that "For the sake of business and comrades - I will kill my son." This is the moment of truth of the new "religion".
From the point of view of a believing Christian, Jesus Christ, by His Sacrifice, put an end to this Old Testament problem. And even if after His Resurrection someone hears the call to kill his son, for a Christian it is clear that this is not the “voice of God”, but from the devil of speech. But it is not necessary to believe in God, it is enough to be decent and a moral person(even if of socialist convictions) in order to understand that it is necessary to follow the commandment “Thou shalt not kill”, and not the “gospel of socialism”.
If the adherents of socialism are not ready for “filicide” (forcibly imposing socialism and repressions against those who disagree), capitalism evolves to a society with strong social guarantees, sometimes (as in Norway or Sweden) and directly to socialism (according to Soviet concepts, current Norwegian socialism in general more like communism, as it was represented in the USSR).
Well, in Russia, by 1917, the people had already largely fallen away from Orthodoxy (as the core of life), the educated society had almost completely departed from it, and such adherents of socialism as Lenin in 1915-1917. already openly called for fratricidal civil war. “Turn the imperialist war into a civil one…” – this Leninist slogan was extolled by Soviet historians and is bashfully hushed up or veiled by false reservations by their “heirs” today…
