From the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824) A. S. Griboedova(1795-1829). The words of the maid Liza (action 1, appearance 2):

Ah, away from the masters;

Prepare troubles for themselves at every hour,

Bypass us more than all sorrows

AND master's wrath, And master's love.

The world belongs to the strong

see by the right of the strong

peaceful coexistence

From the Commissioner's report foreign affairs Soviet government Georgy Vasilyevich Chicherin(1872-1936) at a meeting of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (1920): "Our slogan is peaceful coexistence with other governments, whatever they may be."

In the form of “peaceful cohabitation”, the expression was used by V. I. Lenin in his “Answer to the questions of the Berlin correspondent of the Amer. news agency"Universal Service" by Carl Wiegand (1920).

Usually serves to define a loyal, equal relationship with someone, without friendship, but without enmity (jokingly ironic).

world sorrow

From German: Weltschmerz.

From the unfinished work Selina, or on Immortality (published 1827) by the German satirist Jean Paul(pseudonym I.-P. Richter, 1763-1825), who used this expression, speaking of "the countless torments of people."

As the Russian poet and translator wrote Petr Isaevich Weinberg(1830-1908) in his article “The Poetry of World Sorrow” (1895), world sorrow is “sorrow for the imperfections of the world, for the disorder in it and for the suffering of mankind.”

The expression became especially popular after the publication of the article “From the exhibition of paintings in 1831.” German poet Heinrich Heine, who, speaking of the painting by the artist Delaroche "Oliver Cromwell at the body of Charles I", wrote: "What a huge world sorrow expressed the master in a few lines!

Playfully ironic: about someone's gloomy appearance, bad mood, despondency, etc.

Mister X

stage name the protagonist of Imre Kalman's operetta "Princess of the Circus" (1926). Libretto Julius Brammer And Arnold Grunwald.

Jokingly-ironically: about someone unknown or about someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Mitrofanushka

Main character comedy "Undergrowth" (1783) Denis Ivanovich Fonvizin(1745-1792) - spoiled landowner's son, lazy and ignorant. A common noun for young people of this type.

Bear, Bear, where is your smile?

From the song "Bear" (1947), words and music (arranged by V. Nechaev) to which the poet wrote Georgy Alexandrovich Titov (1919-1989):

Bear, Bear, where is your smile,

Full of enthusiasm and fire?

The most ridiculous mistake

That you are leaving me.

Jokingly-ironically: a call to cheer up, shake off sadness, smile.

I'm sad... because you're having fun

From the poem "Why" (1840) M. Yu. Lermontova (1814-1841):

I'm sad because I love you

And I know: your blooming youth

The insidious persecution will not spare the rumor.

For every bright day or sweet moment

You will pay fate with tears and longing.

I'm sad... because you're having fun.

It is used allegorically as an answer to an interlocutor who does not understand the seriousness of the situation around him (the severity of his own misconduct, guilt, etc.) and still maintains a rosy mood.

Your gift is not dear to me, / Your love is dear

From Russian folk song"On the bridge street":

I don't care about your gift,

The road is your love

I don't want to wear a ring

I want to love my friend.

The meaning of the expression: it is not the cost and sophistication of the gift that are important, but the feelings that it is intended to express.

I don't find it funny when the painter is useless / I get dirty Madonna by Raphael

From the tragedy "Mozart and Salieri" (1830) A. S. Pushkin (1799- 1837):

I don't find it funny when the painter is useless

It stains me with Raphael's Madonna,

I don't find it funny when the buffoon is despicable

Parody dishonors Alighieri

Allegorically: about unprofessionalism, carelessly performed work.

I had no time to write shorter

From the book "Letters to a provincial, or Letters of Louis Montalt to a friend in the province and to the Jesuit fathers about the morality and politics of the Jesuits" (1657) by a French scientist, philosopher and writer Blaise Pascal(1623-1662). At the end of the 16th letter of this book, he wrote: "This letter came out longer only because I had no time to write it shorter."

Another famous translation: "I didn't have time to write a shorter letter."

The meaning of the expression: it takes much more time to compile a short, logical and meaningful text (and, accordingly, to think it over) than to simply fix on paper all the thoughts that come to mind on a particular occasion. In the latter case, verbosity is inevitable.

Vengeance is mine, and I will repay

From bible(Church Slavonic text). Translation: Vengeance lies on me, and it will come from me (in the sense: vengeance is not for human judgment).

Found in the Old Testament (Fifth Book of Moses) and the New Testament (The Epistle to the Romans of the Apostle Paul, ch. 12, v. 19): “Do not avenge yourself, beloved, but give place to the wrath of God. For it is written: Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord.

This text L. N. Tolstoy used as an epigraph to the novel "Anna Karenina".

Imaginary sick

From French: Le malade imaginaire.

Russian translation of the title of a comedy (1673) by a French playwright Jean Baptiste Molière(pseudonym of Jean Baptiste Poquelin, 1622-1673).

Jokingly ironic: oh healthy person who pretends to be sick due to some of his circumstances.

The amusing misdeeds of the heir to the throne sometimes only made him laugh.

To many, they seemed unthinkable even for a 17-year-old undergrowth. And what happened at the door of the royal dining room caused a real commotion, and the august aunt literally tore and threw herself from overflowing hot emotions ...

And we live solemnly and difficultly ...

Entering the Grand Duke's half, the Empress kissed Katya and asked why the beauty was late for mass, caring more about dresses than about serving the Lord God. Elizabeth dryly added that during the time of Anna Ioannovna, she, the princess, happened to live not in winter palace, and at an impressive distance, in the mother's stone house on the Tsaritsyn meadow, near summer garden, not far from which the Promenade walking square has now been laid out. However, this building, like the mansion of the late General Adam Veide standing next door, became the property of Count Alexei Grigoryevich Razumovsky - for services to the Fatherland.

In the same place, by the way, the monarchess explained, once, upon arrival in Russia, His Highness Karl Friedrich, Duke of Holstein, the husband of my sister Anna Petrovna and the father of your dear, dearest husband, once lodged. Your deceased father-in-law in Bose! “It is from these walls - frosty winter night almost five years ago, surrounded by reliable people, I moved in a sleigh to the barracks of the Preobrazhensky Regiment, to the Peskov region, beyond the Fontanka River, in order, with the help of my valiant guardsmen, to regain the sacred ancestral crown stolen by impostors. But even much earlier, in that difficult time for me, when Anna Ioannovna ruled, I did not violate my duties, did not miss church services in the palace, although for this I had to sacrifice sleep, get up dark, dress by candlelight ... "

Fike timidly lowered her head. Elizabeth, narrowing her eyes, looked at her and ordered to call the court hairdresser. “Timofey,” she affectionately turned to the faithful serf, bowed in bow, “if you continue to comb your hair Grand Duchess at the same slow pace as usual, I will have you out of office in no time. Go!" (Alas, thought Katya, a day of sadness and sorrow awaits everyone.) “Yes,” Elizaveta Petrovna chuckled, as if in tone with her sad thoughts, “but where is your missus?” - "In your chambers, your majesty ..." - "Call him to me. Yearned for her nephew. I want to see!”

Seven swords pierced the heart...

The heir-prince was not long in coming. In a dressing gown and with a nightcap, he cheerfully, slightly frivolously ran up to the royal hand and froze with an expression as if he was preparing to accept a well-deserved reward. The Empress kissed him on the cheek and asked where and when he mustered up the courage to commit such an unsightly act. Entering the Hermitage room, where the lifting machine for the kitchen is located, the monarch reported, she saw a door drilled like a sieve. All holes were directed to the place that the autocrat usually prefers at the table. How will Pyotr Feodorovich order us to understand all this?

“You must have forgotten what you owe me? Ungrateful youth! My father had, as you know, an adult son, heir to the throne. Ambitious, independent - not like you. He did not fall on his knees even when drunk before the busts and portraits of foreign kings. By the way, your half-uncle - you were born ten years after his death. This man had all legal rights to the crown. All! But he behaved impudently, recklessly, contradicted, contradicted, intrigued, hid with Caesar in Italy, and his father excommunicated him from the sovereign inheritance. Dismissed completely! Mind you, I can change my mind too!”

The Grand Duke started up and objected something, but the empress angrily cut him off and, getting angry in earnest, as often happened to her in moments of discontent and rage, began shouting reproaches and insults in a thunderous voice. “And how dare you? The Empress ... with guests ... in private ... And you? Peep? Spy on? to snuggle? Snotlout boy! What do you allow yourself? Is it in your mind? The scout has been found! I will teach you good manners. Learn once and for all! They would have tried to do this at the court of Anna Ioannovna, my elder cousin ... She is not me: she instantly sent disobedient and troublemakers to the fortress, drove them to Tmutarakan. AND death penalty with her be healthy as used. That's what they were afraid of, that's what they were afraid of. And I, generous nature, canceled. Then, in the dead of night, at the hour of my triumph, I swore in front of witnesses on the Bible that I would not shed anyone's blood. And faithfully fulfilled this vow. I'm sorry everyone. So I find ... gratitude.

Elizabeth took a breath and then noticed tears on Fike's face. “Calm down, baby,” she waved her fan, “all this does not concern you. You didn't peep and didn't try to peep. What are you worried about? The Empress fell silent, as if taking a break from the noisy, heavy stage. Then she closed her eyelashes and, nodding to the frowning couple, went out into the corridor ...

Wandered and bitterly repent ...

Pyotr Feodorovich hurried to his rooms, and Katya to the bedroom, to finally change into her full dress, which had not been taken off after the service. A minute later, the crown prince returned to his wife. He stood for a moment and said - almost in his ear, in some indistinct, embarrassedly mocking tone: "The empress was like a fury, she was not aware of her screams and screams." “Well, not quite like that,” Catherine retorted, “she was just very upset. You shouldn't have done what you did. I warned of inevitable troubles. “You warned too late!” “Oh, I’m still responsible! Your highness, you are an adult family man and are called to be aware of all the consequences of wrong steps and reckless actions ... "

The young couple dined in Katya's apartment, talking in an undertone and keeping their eyes on the doors and windows. When Peter went to his chambers, Frau Maria Kruse came to Fika. Her tirade was prepared "from the doorway" - and, obviously, on instructions from above. “I must admit,” the “scout” breathed out, “that the empress acted like a true mother!” Catherine listened attentively to the uninvited guest. What is the conversation leading to? “The mother gets angry and scolds the children,” the highly experienced lady broadcast with inspiration, “but then the insult passes and the intercessor forgives them for their sins. Both of you should have said: guilty, mother, forgive us! And they would disarm her with meekness and humility ... "

Katya, diligently looking for phrases, squeezed out that, being unusually embarrassed by the wrath of Her Majesty, she considered it good to listen and be silent. Kruse spread her hands and quietly left the room - rushing to high offices with an urgent report. But the science of the wise camera-frau was not in vain. The sacramental combination "guilty, mother" firmly sunk into the head of the judicious Fika. Sunk, like a magical sesame, "opening" any whim of the almighty autocrat. Fike picked up the quote and used it successfully for for long years. Still, Elizaveta Petrovna - by the nature of her character - adored seeing the guilty and repentant in front of her.

... Before Easter, Marshal Karl Sievers (the same one who once met Sophia and Johanna near Moscow, in the village of Vsesvyatsky, and later collapsed with Katya at a masquerade, where he had to dance a polonaise in huge women's panties) told the princess the cherished royal will. She, who limited herself in food in the first week of Great Lent, should fast the same amount more. Fike told her good friend (who had recently married the daughter of Maria Cruz, Benedikta Fedorovna), that she would like to refrain from fasting for the entire month and a half. Soon the nobleman informed Catherine: the empress received extreme pleasure and allowed this spiritual feat. The storm has passed...
