Sometimes it seems to us that the world is closed in its cruelty and the pursuit of money, but it's not! Evidence of this is the good deeds that famous people do. And how many more things ordinary people do, we just don’t know about it ...

"Rus' is not without good people!" Russian people can be safely attributed to the most sympathetic peoples of the world. On the pages of history you can find many characters who throughout their lives have tried to make the world a little better. Among them are doctors, soldiers, nobles, and even royalty.

The opening of universities, specialized printing houses and schools, helping orphans, the hungry and the homeless is far from full list good deeds of these people, which will be discussed in our material.

Even during his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname "gracious husband." Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself.

He was from that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own "I want." It was on the initiative of bright person"The first shelters for the poor appeared not only in Moscow, but also abroad. It was common for Rtishchev to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter organized by him - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station.

How many were saved from death and did not freeze in the street, one can only guess. In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain carts to the starving Vologda, and then the money received from the sale of personal property. And when I found out about the need of the Arzamas people for additional lands just donated mine.

During the Russian-Polish war, he took out not only compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again at his own expense. After the death of Rtishchev, his "Life" appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.

The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayers and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils.

She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for the construction educational institutions for noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov.

With her direct participation, the largest Charitable organization- The Imperial Humanitarian Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century. Having 9 children of her own, she took special care of abandoned babies: the sick were nursed in foster homes, strong and healthy - in trustworthy peasant families. This approach has significantly reduced child mortality.

With all the scale of her activities, Maria Fedorovna paid attention to trifles that are not essential for life. So, in Obukhovskaya psychiatric hospital Petersburg, each patient received their own kindergarten. Her will contains the following lines: “Give life to Your Spirit with meekness, love and mercy. Be helpers and benefactors to the suffering and the poor.”

A descendant of the Rurikids, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky was convinced that the thought he had sown would certainly "sprout tomorrow" or "in a thousand years." Close friend Griboedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged.

He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who applied, and in everyone he saw a “living string” that could be made to sound for the good of the cause. The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, organized by him, helped 15,000 needy families. There was a women's workshop, a children's rooming house with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.

Despite his origins and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a "secondary position" he was able to bring "real benefit." The "strange scientist" tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.

An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country in which soldiers' children were trained at the place of service.

Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments. In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through the soldiers' formation, after which he petitioned for dismissal, stating that he would never be able to carry out such orders. Petr Georgievich devoted his further life to charity. He was a trustee and an honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv House of Charity for the Poor.

Retired lieutenant Sergei Skyrmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous for his good deeds, but he was able to build socialism in a single estate.

At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich painfully pondered over future fate, 2.5 million rubles fell on him from a deceased distant relative. The inheritance was not squandered or played at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skyrmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.

All this life amazing woman was dedicated to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district.

But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she has done everything so that the blind have the opportunity to become full-fledged members of society.

She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the Collection of Articles for children's reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler".

To get the book out in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page. Later, Anna Aleksandrovna translated the musical system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments.

With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later from the Moscow School.

Literacy and professional training helped graduates find jobs, which changed the stereotype of their incapacity. Anna Adler almost did not live to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

The whole life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, the practical use of which has saved more than one life. The men considered him a magician who, for his "miracles", attracts higher powers.

He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and the decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. By his own efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.

He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into heavy and those who make it to the rear. This has reduced the death rate by several times. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound in the arm or leg could end in amputation. He personally carried out operations and tirelessly controlled that the soldiers were provided with everything necessary: ​​warm blankets, food, water.

According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academicians to conduct plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of engrafting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped to get rid of ugliness. Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that the main task education - to teach to be a man.

GR continues a series of articles in support of the largest charity event in Russia called Soul Bazar.

"Soulful Bazar" is a project aimed at promoting charity among citizens, which tells about the activities of various non-profit organizations, shows options for participating in charity and offers to choose a convenient and pleasant way to help for each of us.

Today, we'll be sharing powerful and touching acts of kindness by famous people around the world.
