A message about the good people of our country. History from Konstantin Paustovsky

06.03.2019

"Rus' is not without good people!" Russian people can be safely attributed to the most sympathetic peoples of the world. And we have someone to look up to.

Okolnichiy Fyodor Rtishchev

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. For Rtishchev, it was common 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.

Empress Maria Feodorovna

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 was created - the Imperial Humanitarian Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century.

Having 9 children of her own, she especially anxiously took 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.

Prince Vladimir Odoevsky

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.

Prince Peter of Oldenburg

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.

Sergey Skyrmunt

Retired lieutenant Sergei Skyrmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous good deeds, but 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.

Anna Adler

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 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".

In order to produce a book in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page.

Later, Anna Alexandrovna translated the musical system, and blind children were able to learn to play the 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.

Nikolai Pirogov

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 peasants considered him a magician who, for his "miracles", attracted higher power. 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 academics 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 upbringing - to learn to be a man.

Good is known, good is remembered, good warms our hearts, but not everyone can do good deeds. It is impossible to say unequivocally who is the kindest person in the world. This article lists several famous people who by their actions helped those in need and did not ask for anything in return. They are the kindest people in the world, they should be looked up to and set as an example to children, and, quite possibly, in the future there will be more such people.

There is an expression “kind like mother Teresa”, and these words speak for themselves. This woman helped the poor and the sick, organized the monastic congregation "Missionary Sisters of Love", was awarded the Nobel Prize in the category "For active help to a suffering person", but she did not care about the awards.

On August 26, 1910, baby Agnes Gonje Bayadzhiu was born. Her parents attended catholic church and helped the poor. Even after the death of her father in 1919, the girl's mother was not afraid and took six orphans into the family. It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere where harmony and kindness reign, beautiful girl who later became Mother Teresa. From childhood, the girl knew her calling. Already at the age of 12, she dreamed of becoming a monk, heard about poor children in India and wanted to help them.

Mother Teresa did everything out of love for people and tried to help everyone

At the age of 18, Agnes went to live in Ireland, where her dream of becoming a nun came true, the girl was accepted into their ranks by the Irish Sisters of Loreto, after 2 years she was tonsured as a nun under the name Teresa. The girl chose the name herself, inspired by the actions of a merciful Carmelite nun from Lisieux. In the direction of the order, the nun Teresa went to Calcutta. In the town was girls' school Mary, and she began to teach children to read and write. In 1946, the nun received official permission to help all the needy, poor and destitute of Calcutta, and after 2 years she organized the “Missionary Sisters of Love” community. The monastic congregation deployed vigorous activity, they were engaged in the creation of new shelters and hospitals for the seriously ill, as well as schools for the poor. In each such institution they gave help to all those in need, it did not matter here what nationality or religion the applicant was.

Since 1965, the monastic congregation has been helping not only in India, but also abroad. Today this huge organization is known all over the world. It has 400 chapters in 111 countries and more than 700 charity houses in 120 countries. The main mission of the congregation is to help those in need, especially in disadvantaged areas or those affected by natural Disasters. Mother Teresa was active in helping last days own life. The nun died on September 5, 1997 in Calcutta.


At the time of her death, the nun was 87 years old, she left a huge mark on the history and hearts of many people.

Diana Francis Spencer possessed a certain magic since childhood, she gave joy and warmth, protected the weak, but at the same time she was modest and shy. Diana graduated private school with an average score, she was always embarrassed to answer in front of the class and was shy at the blackboard, but this did not stop her from finding a job. The girl got a job as an assistant teacher in kindergarten"Young England" and soon met with Prince Charles of Wales. It was a fairy tale! Charles fell in love with a modest beauty with huge eyes and soon won her heart. After the wedding, Diana became real princess but happiness was short-lived. After the birth of sons William and Harry, Prince Charles began to cheat on his wife, and soon their marriage fell apart. It was during this period that Diana launched an active charitable activities.

Lady Di headed more than 90 charitable foundations, helped the abandoned and disadvantaged. Her attention has never bypassed children or old people who need her help. With just one appearance, she instilled hope in people.


Diana knew how to give warmth with just a smile

The Queen of Hearts, as Lady Di was dubbed, donated huge sums to the treatment of AIDS patients and the development of drugs against this terrible disease. Thanks to her activities, numerous hospitals and hospices were built. Cooperation with International Federation The Red Cross has saved the lives of many seemingly hopelessly ill people.

Princess Diana was friends with Mother Teresa. People called their first meeting "Meeting of the Angels". They teamed up and led several charity projects together.

Shortly before her death, Princess Diana arrived in Angola on a peacekeeping mission, what she saw there was horrified. Because of civil war the land where they lived simple people, were stuffed with anti-personnel mines. Because of this, many children and the elderly were left crippled or even died. The hospitals of the country were full, there were no places, people were lying on bare floors.

Lady Dee walked through the minefield in protest, and then made a film about anti-personnel mines. She organized a campaign against their use. Diplomats and ministers of most countries of the world supported this idea. The international movement to end the use of anti-personnel mines in 1997 received Nobel Prize, but, unfortunately, the queen of hearts Diana did not see this.


At the celebration in honor of the award, the audience honored the good Lady Dee with a minute of silence

Dobri Doborev, an old man, or, as the children call him, Dobri's grandfather, lives in Bulgaria. He lives 25 km from the city of Sofia and walks this distance every day to beg. The old man is dressed in not new, but clean homespun things, on his feet are homemade leather shoes. So what is so kind and good about this person, why did he get on the list of the kindest people?

Dobri Dobrev has for decades given everything he earns on the street to orphanages that cannot pay their bills, and he lives solely on his pension. This old man back in the years of the Great Patriotic War lost his hearing, but did not even think to spend the collected money on his treatment. This is probably why he is called the "Saint from Bailovo".


Even the name Dobri Dobrev speaks of the kindness of this man.

In our seemingly cruel world, there are still many kind people, it is impossible to list all of them. This article tells only about three who, by their actions, helped more than one needy. It is these people who give good, and there are many of them! It is possible that one of them lives nearby. One has only to look around, and maybe even become one of them. Give kindness to people, and it will definitely come back to you!

"Rus' is not without good people!" Russian people can be safely attributed to the most sympathetic peoples of the world. And we have someone to look up to.

Request text: "Thank you! I like about something human - the kindest, most sympathetic, most philanthropic... :)"

Are there people on our Earth who would know neither wars, nor violence, nor murders? A striking discovery was made by scientists - anthropologists. In 1971, in the Philippine Islands, where, it would seem, everything was explored up and down, an unknown tribe of people was discovered. It lives apart and does not know that it exists the world, where there are also similar ones. This tribe was called Tasadei. Tasadao - a mountain above the entrance to a cave on the slope of one of the hills in the wilds of the island of Mindanao. There the Tasadei spend the night.

These people have a very primitive way of life. Each day they live is not much different from the previous one. Waking up at sunrise, they go down to the stream to wash and have breakfast. Thanks to the rich flora and waters teeming with tadpoles, small fish and crabs, food is always at hand and they do not need to stock up.

Tasadei sit on the stones heated by the sun and start the meal, treating each other with their prey. At noon, the tribe moves into the shade and spends the rest of the day in peace and quiet.

Only at sunset they go in search of plant food and after a vegetarian dinner (lunch) they hide in a cave for the night. Their undisturbed sleep lasts about 12 hours.

This tribe knows neither quarrels nor enmity. When making a decision, they quickly come to general opinion so there is no need to appoint chiefs and elders.

Due to the fact that the Tasadeans do not have a very good memory, they do not remember random insults and do not hold a grudge against their fellows. Couples are created only for love. One marriage for life. The feeling of jealousy is unknown to this amazing people because they don't change either.

In this group of people, everyone is equal among themselves. After all, they do not have property, and they do not know what money is.

Another remarkable quality of the tasadei is the absence bad habits(smoking and drinking). Scientists believe that these people are good-natured, all-forgiving, from birth.

Here is how Akimushkin describes their life:

(Igor Ivanovich Akimushkin(May 1, Moscow - January 1, Moscow) - writer, biologist, popularizer of biology, author of popular science books about animal life.)


In the depths of the cave, two fires burn day and night. The tasadei do not have a special position of "priests of fire", in whose care the maintenance of it would lie. And in general there are no positions and duties: everyone, without coercion, does what he does best or what he likes best.

Let's see how the tasadei spend their day, what is their unpretentious life.

As soon as the sun rises, tasadei, rubbing their eyes and stretching, slowly descend down the natural potholes and ledges of lava tuff, from which the foot of the cave is composed. Mothers carry or lead their children by the hand. There is no hierarchy, no advantage and privilege to enter and exit the cave, there is no ceremonial order among the Tasadeans.

We note here for memory that monkeys have a hierarchy. It was, obviously, among the people of the Neolithic - the Cro-Magnons. And their predecessors, judging by the tasadei, did not. This means that hierarchical “bureaucracy” and “reverence for rank” are not genetically inherent in people, but developed later, during the formation of a primitive communal and class society (although some anthropologists think otherwise). We will return to this issue a little later, when we talk about the aggressiveness of a person.

After this small but important for understanding the basics human psychology retreat, let us return to the tasadei awakened from their sleep.

Still sleepy, smeared in soot and soot, they go down to the stream. Adults wash and wash off the soot themselves, children are bathed by their mothers.

Then the search for food begins. The tasadei do not stock up on food: the surrounding nature is generous and supplies in abundance with everything necessary for subsistence. They find their breakfast at the very doorstep of the house. Children sit on the bank of the stream and hold bags rolled from leaves in their hands. Men catch fish, crabs, tadpoles with their hands (the latter are the main dish on the tasadei menu).

Children and adults are located where the stones are heated by the sun, where it is warmer. They don't eat fast. No one claims to be the most satisfying and plentiful piece. They readily share with each other everything that they have caught in half an hour.

Basking in the sun. They remember with laughter the successes and failures of the morning tadpole hunt. The memory of the Tasadeans, as they say, is short. They remember only recent events, and they completely forget what happened 5-6 years ago. In general, the good are remembered better than the bad. Therefore, they do not keep anger at each other for a long time. Easily forgive involuntary grievances. I say "involuntary" because the tasadei do not know the conscious infliction of offenses.

Five hours go by like that. The sun rises to its zenith, and the tasadei move to a shady place. They sit in a tight group, usually in silence. They don't have any work. There is little entertainment. The afternoon hours are spent as if in nirvana.

However, one day-to-day repeated entertainment amuses them during these hours.

While the tasadeans keep their cave fires burning all the time, they can quickly rekindle dry moss if they die out. This is making fire (who will soon ignite the moss!) And practice, and the competition of men, and teaching children what is so necessary in life primitive man case.

Fire is made by friction. A pointed stick is inserted into a recess in the board, quickly twisted back and forth in the palms until the wood smokes. Immediately, dry palm bark and moss are pressed against the hole, they blow on them, and a fire breaks out! This procedure takes about five minutes.

Shortly before sunset (in the tropics, this happens at about 6 pm), some tasadei get up and go to the surrounding jungle in search of fruits, fruits, and most importantly, wild yam tubers. However, their journey through the forests is not long: they do not go further than three or four kilometers from their native cave. They're coming back soon. The long leaves of uprooted yams hang in a dense heap behind the backs of men.

Yams are washed in water, baked in hot ashes and eaten.

Lunch-dinner at the Tasadei, as you can see, is vegetarian. At night, the tasadei move to the cave to plunge into a serene sleep until the morning. They sleep, therefore, almost twelve hours a day, from evening to dawn.

Tomorrow will be the same as the last.

So the Tasadeans live "in peace with each other and in harmony with the surrounding nature." They have no enemies either among people or in nature. Large predators are not found in the Philippines. Only snakes are afraid of the Tasadei. They do not smoke, do not drink alcohol, do not know fights and murders at all. They don't even have weapons! A stone tools very simple (paleolithic type).

Tasadei do not engage in agriculture. They don't have pets either. No crafts, clothes. Several orchid leaves fastened together replace their loincloth, and this is all that their body is covered with.

The Tasadeans have neither leaders nor elders. Decisions are made jointly, after a short discussion and then act in solidarity. They have no property, neither rich nor poor. They do not know what money is, what work is (in our understanding). Do not know and divorce, adultery, blood feud and jealousy. Marriages are for love, once and for life. And although there are more men in the tribe than women, no one breaks the strong bonds of marriage.

"Watching them quiet life the anthropologist believes that they belong to "the meekest people on Earth" (E. White and D. Brown).


“No, the tasadei are just a special case,” the followers of Lorenz continue to object. - Their primitive way of life is not a primary phenomenon, but a secondary one: the Tasadeans relatively recently separated from common root Filipino peoples, lost in the wilds of the wilds of Mindanao, forgot the cultural skills they owned, and sank to a much lower level of development.

Therefore, the Tasadeans cannot serve as a model for anthropology of our real ancestor - a man of the ancient Stone Age. It's just a tiny " big family» Filipinos, who once left the labors and worries in the wild wilderness of the jungle. They are people who fled from people, and not the original links in the evolution of man.

- Well, what if the Tasadeans are not genetically an ancient link in the chain human generations, and modern? Their way of life can nevertheless serve as a model of the behavior of the very first people, since the Tasadeans were placed in the same living conditions as in antiquity, and because of this, according to the law of convergence, they acquired many features of life. primitive people

P.S.
Some anthropologists believe that the first people were just as meek from birth. They led the same life as the Tasadei. Later, those of them who migrated to the north, to regions poor in food and rich in enemies, armed themselves with a club and a spear. But even here people remained non-aggressive for a long time. Fratricidal fights, robberies, wars began much later with the development of the primitive communal system.

However, there is another point of view in science.

Some scientists, including such a well-known ethologist as K. Lorenz, believe that aggressiveness is immanent in humans, it is a heavy legacy of our animal ancestors. Aggression, according to Lorenz, will always dominate a person and manifest itself in violence and in other bad deeds, if society does not find another reasonable expression for it. If you don't find it, it will be terrible! The natural aggressiveness of a person will destroy him in the end.

Here's what's interesting. The discovery of the Tasadeans and the study of their way of life inclines the opinion of the majority of scientists in favor of the first hypothesis: man was not born with an animal nature! He is a peaceful being in his original essence.
Let them argue...

You may have already known about someone's kindness, and someone may open up to you from a completely new side:
