Many writers of the middle of the 20th century could not stay away from the events that took place then in the country. For the time before October revolution and the subsequent years of the formation of Soviet power, many people objectionable to the authorities were killed or sent into exile. Broken destinies, orphaned children, constant denunciations - thinking people could not remain indifferent. B. Pasternak, M. Bulgakov, E. Zamyatin, V. Shalamov, M. Sholokhov, A. Solzhenitsyn and many others wrote about what is happening and how ordinary people suffer from it.
Not afraid of reprisals, the writers painted gloomy pictures of the totalitarian regime, which Soviet authorities tried to pass off as a socialist. The widely replicated “power of the people” in fact was the depersonalization and transformation of people into a common gray mass. Everyone was supposed to blindly adore the leader, but spy on relatives and friends. Denunciations became the norm, and no one checked their authenticity. It was important to make people live in an atmosphere of fear, so that they would not even think about protests.
If the works of Bulgakov and Pasternak talked about how suffering
intelligentsia, then in the works of Zamyatin and Solzhenitsyn it was hard for the inhabitants of the country of victorious socialism. It is easy to understand that the fighters for the "red" ideology fought for something, but then they ran into it.
In Zamyatin's novel "We", written in the genre of dystopia, the inhabitants United State- people-robots are presented as "cogs" in a huge system. The writer talks about a world without love and arts, allegorically describing the world Soviet Union. As a result, he comes to the conclusion that there is no perfect world and cannot be.
Solzhenitsyn also touched upon forbidden topics in his work One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Ivan Shukhov - the main character of the story - a front-line soldier, now living, a collective farmer, now sent to a labor camp. Solzhenitsyn rightly reasoned that for a truthful description of the injustice of repressions Soviet state best to show life common man. Only one camp day - from the rise to the lights out. Shukhov sympathizes with everyone with whom he is serving his sentence and dreams of only one thing - to return home and continue working. This person considers quiet rural concerns to be happiness because in the field he does not depend on anyone - he works for himself and feeds himself.
The camp becomes the setting for yet another famous book"The Gulag Archipelago". In two volumes, the author first tells in detail about how the state of the Soviets was built - torture, executions, denunciations, and then in the second volume tells about camp life and the fate of those who suffered and died in dark cells.
A lot of archival documents were studied by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in order to write the truth. His own memories were also useful to him, because he spent more than 10 years in pre-trial detention centers and on camp bunk beds because he dared to criticize Stalin in his letters. All acting heroes- real people. The writer knew that history would not preserve their names, like hundreds of others who disappeared forever and were buried in mass graves. Wanting to perpetuate not only those with whom he personally knew, but also all the innocent who fell into the crucible of repression.

4. What to eat human life under an authoritarian political system?
5. Freedom of a person as a condition of his life.
On bookshelves shops today there is a lot of literature dedicated to Soviet era, but rather its exposure. But the authors are not always historically reliable, based on memoirs and drawing historical course events. Today it is fashionable to denigrate that regime. Nevertheless, one should not be like the Bolsheviks and divide the whole world only into black and white. Yes, there were many bad things and the memory of generations is designed to prevent the repetition of those events. But do not forget that this is our history, and lessons should be learned from it. It is difficult to figure out today where the truth is, the facts given in strict accordance with reality, and where they are slightly or to a fair extent exaggerated by fiction and many conjectures.
If you read Solzhenitsyn, you can be sure that in describing the fate of his heroes, he did not distort the truth anywhere. He did not protest himself and did not divide everything only into black and white, rushing to extremes, but simply wrote about what happened, while leaving the readers the right to choose how to relate to the described people and events that occur depending on or outside the will of the characters . Solzhenitsyn did not set himself the task of only describing the life of the camps or the laws by which the convicts lived - he wrote about the life of people on this and that side of the barbed wire. So he did in the story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", comparing Shukhov's "today's" life and his memories of the house. Such transitions give us, readers, the opportunity to remember that Shukhov, and indeed any convict in the camp, is primarily a person. Only everyone has their own habits, strong or weak character traits, their own ways of adapting to life. In Soviet times, these people, and for the authorities rather "subhuman", did not have names. It was only Yu-81, From-202 ... And people were considered only free labor force, which built the large industrial centers of Siberia. The Gulag archipelago is not Solovki or Magadan, it is the whole country. Yes. These are the facts of history, and you can't get away from them. But the whole state was one big camp, in which the father renounced his son, and the son renounced his father. People were imprisoned here if they returned to their homeland, and it doesn’t matter in what ways they ended up outside of it. A vivid example of this is an Estonian who was taken to Sweden by his parents as a child and later returned to his native coast. Here, such strong, intelligent, courageous, dexterous and with natural acumen people as Brigadier Tyurin disappeared in the same camps. He was the son of a kulak and volunteered for the Red Army. Is this not a paradox that turned out to be unnecessary for the Soviet machine? But besides, the brigadier was an excellent student of military and political training. In this state, belief in God was a crime (Alyoshka is a Baptist who received 25 years in prison for his religious beliefs).
These people, whose cases were, in fact, fabricated, fell into the realm of arbitrariness, violence and impunity. Only here impunity was allowed for overseers or those who were given generous parcels. And then the convict, who managed to grease himself, became the master of the situation. He could even sit with the guards and play cards with them (Gypsy Caesar). But here, again, everyone is free to decide for himself: to be like Shukhov, who will remain hungry, but will not bend to anyone's interests, or, like Fetyukov, who was ready to kowtow to anyone so that he, as if by chance, dropped his cigarette butt.
The totalitarian mechanism leveled everyone under one measure, and a step to the left or to the right was considered a betrayal. It was necessary to blindly follow those models of behavior that were imposed by the authorities. Any deviation from these established rules threatened to turn into, if not physical violence, then humiliation. human dignity and camp time. The level of vitality of the spirit was also not the same. And it depended only on moral attitudes: strong man survive, adapt, and the weak will perish, and this is inevitable.
What did human life mean for an authoritarian system? Provided that the state machine resettled entire nations, influenced the geographical relationships in the world, practically adjusted the entire scientific potential for itself (although the development of science and political system can hardly be so connected) and exterminated thinking intelligentsia. There are only officially about twelve million examples of such mangled and broken destinies, and among them - simple and nameless - such prominent scientists as N. I. Vavilov, poet N. S. Gumilyov. Solzhenitsyn writes not about the luminaries of science, not about the geniuses of military leadership, not about great poets, but about ordinary people whose destinies form the history of the country. Solzhenitsyn did not allow himself to speculate, he painted a portrait of the entire country of that time, fitting it into the framework of only one camp, where human life was only a statistical unit, and not the fate of a person with his roots, family traditions ...
Solzhenitsyn, describes the life of the camp from the inside, refuting at the same time the Soviet dogma that a person is guilty even of what he said, if what was said does not coincide with the official ideology. This life appears before us with everyday detail, experiencing the feelings of the hero (fear, homesickness or hungry rumbling of the stomach). The reader thinks about whether Shukhov will be released, and what would be his second day, and what will be the fate of the rest of the characters in the story? But the fate of Shukhov is the fate of millions of such convicts. How many of them, such Shukhovs, are there on Russian soil?
In a totalitarian state, there is no freedom for a person. And freedom is the beginning of any creativity, the beginning real life and life in general. Totalitarian forces kill the desire to live in a person, because it is impossible to live according to someone's instructions. Only life itself can dictate its conditions, and relations in society should be regulated not by a handful of people occupying high positions in the party apparatus, but by society itself in accordance with the spirit of the time and culture.

- 1. The word of the teacher.
In the early 1980s, President Reagan invited the most prominent Soviet dissidents living in the West to breakfast. Of the whole host of invited people, one A.I. Solzhenitsyn refused, noting that he was not a “dissident”, but a Russian writer who could not talk with the head of state, whose generals, on the advice of scientistsare seriously developing the idea of selective extermination of the Russian people through directed nuclear strikes . Expressing polite refusal, Solzhenitsyn, however, responded by inviting Reagan, when his term of office expired, to visit his home in Vermont and there, in a calm atmosphere, talk about the pressing issues of relations between our two countries, unobtrusively emphasizing thatthe presidency is occupied by oneperson for a maximum of eight years,vocation Russian writer for life.
2. Who is this person?
The film by Alexander Sokurov "The Knot" will help us to recognize this person ( 23 minutes Part I ), demonstrated in December 1998, when the writer turned 80 years old.
- He was born in December 1918. in Kislovodsk.
Father came from peasants, became a student, then volunteered for the first world war and was awarded the George Cross. He died in a hunting accident six months before the birth of his only child.
After high school Solzhenitsyn graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the University in Rostov-on-Don (1941).. ), at the same time enters the correspondence course at the Moscow Institute of Philosophy and Literature.
Leaves for the war, from 1942 to 1945. commanded a battery at the front, was awarded orders and medals.
In February 1945 in the rank of captain, he was arrested because of the criticism of Stalin traced in the correspondence and sentenced to 8 years:
1 year - on investigation and forwarding
3y. - in the prison research institute
4y. - general work in the political special camp.
1953 - Cancer cured. Miracle.
The camp term ended on the day of Stalin's death on March 5, 1953, and cancer was immediately discovered, when, according to the verdict of doctors, no more three weeks... however, I did not die (with my hopelessly neglected malignant tumor, it was God's miracle, I did not understand otherwise. All the life returned to me since then is not mine in the full sense, it has an embedded purpose).
Then he was exiled to Kazakhstan "forever"; however, the man-made eternity lasted “only” three years, after which, by the decision of the Supreme Court of the USSR of February 6, 1957. rehabilitation followed.
After rehabilitation he worked school teacher in Ryazan.
Following the publication at 11 m issue of Novy Mir for 1962. The work “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” was accepted into the Writers' Union, but apart from a few more stories and one article, he had to give everything written from Samizdat or print it abroad.
In 1969 - Excluded from the joint venture.
In 1970 - honored Nobel Prize on literature.
In 1974 - In connection with the release of the 1st volume of The Gulag Archipelago, he was forcibly expelled to the West.

Ermolai - phenologist (study of wildlife phenomena)
Ignat - musician
Stepan is a city planner.
Instead of creative work, at the very end of the war he experienced, arrest, prison and camp befell him, but:
- It's scary to think that I would become a writer (and I would) if I had not been imprisoned..
1955-1968 - novel "In the first circle"
1955-1967 - story " cancer corps»
1958-1968 - "The Gulag Archipelago" (camp country designation)

1959-1963 - the story "Matryonin Dvor"
By 1994 - 10 volumes of "Red Wheel" (narrative of the revolution)
! Let us turn to his ideas about the purpose of art in people's lives.
Art, rightly believes Solzhenitsyn, is characterized by a secret Inner Light, and all of it is not given to man to grasp.
Solzhenitsyn believes that there are two types of artists:
- one "claims to be the creator of an independent spiritual world and shoulder the act of creation of this world"
- the other knows a higher power over himself, this world was not created by him
«… The artist can only feel more acutely than others the harmony of the world, the beauty and ugliness of the human contribution to it - and sharply convey this to people.»
? - What type of artist would you classify Solzhenitsyn?
Defining his understanding of art, Solzhenitsyn reflects on Dostoevsky's "mysterious" phrase "Beauty will save the world."

(A.I. Solzhenitsyn's story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich")
The purpose of the lesson :
- based on the analysis of the story, to penetrate into the world of a man from the people, to find out how he relates himself to the forcefully imposed reality and its ideas;

- education of the creative reader.
Equipment:

Totalitarianism - one of the forms of the state, characterized by complete (total) control by the authorities state power over all spheres of society, the physical elimination of constitutional freedoms and rights.
Righteous - 1. a person who lives according to the commandments prescribed by any religion;
2. one who is guided by the principles of justice, honesty, does not violate the rules of morality.
What field the executioners trampled,
They crushed with a merciless wheel.
Oh, if all the tortured stood up
And told the truth about everything.
V.Bokov

IV. 1. The word of the teacher, turning into an analysis of the work.
The conversation is accompanied by a commentary reading of the text.
Most strong impression Shukhov's thoughts, the secret of his inner life conveyed by monologue, produce on us.
Let's start, perhaps, with the idea that Ivan Denisovich thought of.
The working day ended, everyone returned to the camp.
And here's the thought:
“Five roads converge to the watch ...” ( p. 77) text.
City planners - slaves - go to work along tomorrow's streets: in the morning - to the objects, in the evening - back.
Prisoners walk according to the camp rule, holding their hands behind and lowering their heads.
The columns go, as if to a funeral, “and you can see,” Ivan Denisovich is annoyed, “only the legs of the front two or three and a patch of sunken land, where to step over with your feet.
The mental activity of Ivan Denisovich Shukhov does not stop for a second.
He keeps track of camp time by hours and minutes.
2. … Camp. His device, his mode, his purpose.
Life flows behind barbed wire.
What saves a person in this inhuman life?
As always, involvement in the community of people. Here it is a brigade, the annals of a family in free life. Brigadier Father...
The brigadier in the camp is everything ... ( p. 30, p. 34)
3. The social hierarchy of camp life. Her laws.

a) Autobiography (individual)
b) How did you get to the camp?
c) What is the figure in front of us. What impression does
d) Speech matter from which Solzhenitsyn's hero was created
- Kolkhoz life
Conclusions, generalizations.
Camp life, no matter how regulated it was, offered the prisoners a choice: there were executioners and guards, fools and informants, goners and just raw prisoners.
? What did Shukhov choose?
Quietly and imperceptibly for all, he became a righteous man.
Every day and hour had to choose between good and evil, strength and weakness, dignity and humiliation.
The most difficult thing in choosing is to find support.
! And again, the reader is seized by a sense of the absurdity of what is happening at the behest of the camp: for some reason, in the camp hospital, the young poet finishes verses unfinished in the wild.
The peasant Glukhov was brought from the war to the logging site.
Yes, and the guards themselves, escorts, Russian people, who, in the cold, stand on the towers and protect whom? And for what?
? What kind of robber horde captured the country and sent one part of the people to another?
! The theme of the responsibility of the people and its leaders for the present and future of the country.

The study of the Russian character continued in other works by A.I. Solzhenitsyn at the end of 50 x - n.60s.
In the original version, the work was called “A village does not stand without a righteous man”, and the action in it took place in 1956 (in the published edition, events developed in pre-Khrushchev times in 1953). The changes were aimed at giving the story a more private meaning.
III. Conversation on the content of the work.
What event is the plot of the story focused on?
At 184 ohm km from Moscow along the branch that goes to Murom and Kazan
What do we learn about the narrator?
He went all the way to Matryonin's Court "from" the dusty hot desert, where he "stayed for ten years". He succeeds in fulfilling his dream of returning to “internal” Russia when “something is shaken in the country ...” (allegory about liberation from the camp, a memorable “camp padded jacket”. Long years did not put malice in the soul of the narrator ...)
What did you learn about Matryona's life?
The heroine is, as it were, outside of society, merging with nature. Darkness, ignorance. Memories of Matryona’s youth that in her youth she “did not consider five pounds as a burden”, and once “grabbed by the bridle, stopped the sleigh”
ugly heroine:
In the game, her equestrian will not catch,
In trouble - he will not fail - he will save:
Stop a galloping horse
Will enter the burning hut!
The heroine finds herself in the center of the eternal confrontation between good and evil, trying to connect the edges of the abyss with her “conscience”, with her very life.
Culminating in outer and inner plot plans is the moment of Matryona's death at the crossing.
Matryona is still trying to restore the “harmony” common life, making their bright contribution to the cause started by "breakers - not builders", for which "good" is a material concept.
Matryona - Thaddeus
Among her fellow villagers, Matryona remains "misunderstood", "stranger".
At the end of the story folk wisdom becomes the basis for assessing the heroine: "... she is the same righteous man, without whom, according to the proverb, the village does not stand."

PROGRESS OF THE EVENING
Teacher:
1930s for our country were extremely complex and contradictory. This is a time of steady growth military power USSR, time of rapid pace of industrialization, time sports holidays and air parades. At the same time, it was the 1930s. - the most bloody and terrible of all the years of the history of Soviet Russia.
Appearance works of art about the tragic fate of a person in a totalitarian state debunked the myth of an allegedly happy communist future. It is impossible for a person to be happy in a society that is built on violence, repression, reprisals against dissidents. The works of A. Solzhenitsyn, V. Shalamov and some other authors are of great value due to the fact that their authors are participants, eyewitnesses of events, victims of the state Gulag. The writers lifted the veil of a dark page in our history - the period of Stalinism.
(Leaders enter the stage)
First presenter:
Poet Anna Akhmatova lived hard life. Time has treated her terribly cruelly. In 1921, Nikolai Gumilyov was shot on the unfair accusation of belonging to a counter-revolutionary conspiracy. Their life paths by that time they had already dispersed, but Akhmatova never deleted Gumilyov from her heart. They were connected by many things, and first of all by their son, Lev Gumilyov, who in 1935 was arrested on false charges. Lev Nikolaevich was sentenced to death, which was later replaced by camps in which he spent twenty years.
Second presenter:
A. Akhmatova experienced the tragedy together with her fellow citizens in the literal sense: she spent long hours in a terrible queue that lined up along the walls of the gloomy St. Petersburg prison "Crosses". One of the women who stood with the poet asked in a barely audible voice: “Can you describe this?” Anna Akhmatova answered: “I can!”
Third host:
So, one after another, poems appeared, which together made up the "Requiem" - a poem, dedicated to the memory milestones innocently ruined during the years of Stalinist repressions.
The poem "Requiem" is an expression of the boundless people's grief. Severe repressions affected almost every family, and the prison became a symbol of that time. Akhmatova's voice is the voice of a tormented, "hundred-million people", and the poem has been suffered by herself, which is why the "Requiem" sounds so penetrating.
(The hosts leave. Two girls enter the stage, reading excerpts from A. Akhmatova's poem "Requiem")
First girl("Dedication"):
Mountains bend before this grief,
The great river does not flow
But the prison gates are strong,
And behind them "convict holes",
And deadly sadness.
Second girl:
For someone the fresh wind blows,
For someone, the sunset basks -
We don't know, we're the same everywhere
We hear only the hateful rattle of the keys
Yes, steps are heavy soldiers.
We got up as if for an early mass,
We walked through the wild capital,
They met there, the dead lifeless,
The sun is lower and the Neva is more foggy,
And hope all sings inside.
First girl:
The verdict ... And immediately the tears will gush,
Already separated from everyone
As if life is taken out of the heart with pain,
As if rudely overturned,
But it goes... It staggers... Alone.
Second girl:
Where are the unwitting girlfriends now
My two crazy years?
What does it seem to them in the Siberian blizzard,
What does it seem to them in the lunar circle?
To them I send my farewell greetings.
First girl("Introduction"):
It was when I smiled
Only the dead, happy with peace.
And dangled with an unnecessary pendant
Near the prisons of their Leningrad.
And when, mad with torment,
There were already condemned regiments,
And a short parting song
Locomotive whistles sang,
The death stars were above us
And innocent Rus' writhed
Under the bloody boots
And under the tires of the black Marus.
Second girl:
They took you away at dawn
Behind you, as if on a takeaway, I walked,
Children were crying in the dark room,
At the goddess, the candle swam.
Icons on your lips are cold,
Death sweat on the brow... Don't forget!
I will be like archery wives,
Howl under the Kremlin towers.
First girl:
The quiet Don flows quietly,
The yellow moon enters the house.
Comes in a cap on one side
Sees the yellow moon shadow
This woman is sick
This woman is alone.
Second girl:
Husband in the grave, son in prison,
Pray for me.
First girl:
I would show you, mocker
And the favorite of all friends,
Tsarskoye Selo merry sinner,
What will happen in your life
Like a three hundredth, with a transmission,
Under the Crosses you will stand
And with my hot tear
New Year's ice to burn.
Second girl("Sentence"):
And the stone word fell
On my still living chest.
Nothing, because I was ready
I'll deal with it somehow.
I have a lot to do today:
We must kill the memory to the end,
It is necessary that the soul turned to stone
We must learn to live again.
First presenter("Epilogue"):
I learned how faces fall.
How fear peeks out from under the eyelids,
Like cuneiform cruel pages
Suffering is brought out on the cheeks.
Like curls of ashen and black
Suddenly become silver
The smile withers on the lips of the submissive,
And fear trembles in a dry laugh.
And I'm not praying for myself alone
And about everyone who was there with me.
And in severe cold, and in the July heat
Under the red, blinded wall.
Second presenter:
Again the memorial hour will approach
I see, I hear, I feel you.
And the one that was barely brought to the window,
And the one that does not trample the earth, dear,
And the one that beautifully shook her head,
She said: “I come here as if I were home.”
I would like to name everyone
Yes, the list was taken away, and there is nowhere to find out.
For them I wove a wide cover
Of the poor, they have overheard words.
I remember them always and everywhere,
I will not forget about them even in a new trouble,
And if my exhausted mouth is clamped,
To which a hundred million people shout,
May they also remember me
At the end of my memorial day.
And if ever in this country
They will erect a monument to me,
I give my consent to this with triumph,
But only with the condition - do not put it
Not near the sea where I was born:
The last connection with the sea is broken,
Not in the royal garden at the treasured stump,
Where the inconsolable shadow is looking for me
And here, where I stood for three hundred hours
And where the bolt was not opened for me.
Then, as in blissful death I fear
Forget the rumble of black "Marus",
Forget how hateful the door slammed
And the old woman howled like a wounded animal.
First presenter:
"Requiem" conveys personal and national pain, people's feelings for the fate of their loved ones. However, for prisoners, prison is only the beginning of a terrifying journey, further sentences, executions, exiles, and camps await them. About the nightmarish life in the Stalinist camps, we, the readers, learn from the so-called camp prose and primarily thanks to the work of AI Solzhenitsyn.
Second presenter:
The name of A. I. Solzhenitsyn appeared in fiction in the 1960s, years " Khrushchev thaw". His story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" shocked readers with a revelation about camp life under Stalin.
Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn was born in 1918 in a wealthy and educated peasant family. The childhood memories of the future writer included visits to the church with his mother and long lines of women to the NKVD prisons in Rostov-on-Don, where the Solzhenitsyn family lived.
In 1942, after graduating from an officer's school, he went to the front. He has military awards: order Patriotic War 2nd degree and the Order of the Red Star. And in February 1945, Solzhenitsyn, with the rank of captain, was arrested because of the criticism of Stalin traced in the correspondence and sentenced to 8 years, of which 4 of the most difficult ones he spent on general work in the political Special Camp. Fate wanted him to see all the circles of prison hell, and also witnessed the uprising of prisoners in Ekibastuz in 1952.
Solzhenitsyn was exiled to an eternal settlement in Kazakhstan, where he soon learned that he had cancer and did not have long to live. But a miracle happens - the disease recedes. And in 1957 he was rehabilitated. After the appearance in 1962 of the story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", the writer was admitted to the Writers' Union. But already the following works Solzhenitsyn was forced to give to Samizdat or print abroad.
This was followed by expulsion from the Writers' Union in 1969, and in 1970 Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1974, in connection with the publication of the first volume of The Gulag Archipelago, he was forcibly expelled to the West. The writer finally settled in US state Vermont, by nature reminiscent of the Central Russian strip.
Solzhenitsyn became an outcast, having made a breach in " iron curtain". His books have been removed from libraries. By the time of his forced expulsion from the country, he had written The Cancer Ward, The Gulag Archipelago, In the First Circle. Now contemporaries appreciated the writer's work on merit. And we study his story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" in the course of the school curriculum.
Third host:
We invite you to participate in literary quiz based on the story by A. I. Solzhenitsyn “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”.
QUIZ QUESTIONS
1. What was the original name of the story "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich"?
2. “One joy in ... it happens that it is hot, but now Shukhov got it completely cold. However, he began to eat it just as slowly, thoughtfully. Even here, at least the roof is on fire - there is no need to rush. Apart from sleep, the prisoner lives for himself only in the morning for ten minutes at breakfast, five at lunch, and five at dinner.
... did not change from day to day, it depended on what kind of vegetable they would prepare for the winter. In the summer year, they prepared one salted carrot - and that’s how it went ... on a clean carrot from September to June. And now - black cabbage. The most satisfying time for a camper is June: every vegetable ends and is replaced with cereals. The worst time is July: nettles are whipped into a cauldron.
What dish in question? What dish is usually served as a second course?
3. “Shukhov left the house on June 23, 1941. On Sunday, the people from Polomnia came from mass and said: war.
Writing now is like throwing pebbles into the pool. What has fallen, what has sunk - there is no response to that. Now with Kildigs, a Latvian, you talk about more than with your family.
Yes, and they write twice a year - you will not understand their life. The chairman of the collective farm is de new - so he is new every year, they have not been kept for more than a year. Well, who else does not fulfill the norms of workdays - the gardens have been squeezed up to fifteen acres, and for whom they have been cut off to the very house. Once upon a time, a woman wrote that there was a law for the norm to judge and whoever does not comply - to be put in jail, but somehow that law did not enter into force.
What Shukhov can’t heed in any way, this is written by his wife, since the war with herself, not one alive soul she was not added to the collective farm: all the guys and all the girls, who somehow contrived, but go en masse either to the city to the factory, or to peat extraction. The kolkhoz is pulled by those women who have been driven away since the thirtieth year, and as soon as they fall down, the kolkhoz will die.
This is something Shukhov cannot understand in any way. Shukhov saw the life of an individual, he saw a collective farm, but that the peasants in their own village did not work - he cannot accept this. Sounds like a side job, right? And what about hay?
Laundry trades, the wife answered, were abandoned a long time ago. They don’t walk like a carpenter, for which their side was glorious, they don’t knit wicker baskets, no one needs it now. And there is still one new, cheerful craft ... "
What craft does Shukhov's wife write about? How does Shukhov feel about this way of making money? Why did letters from home come only twice a year?
4. “Next to Shukhov ... he looks at the sun and rejoices, the smile has disappeared on his lips. Cheeks sunk in, sitting on a ration, not working anywhere - what are you happy about? On Sundays, everything is whispering with other Baptists. From them the camps are like water off a duck's back. They gave them twenty-five years for the Baptist faith - do they really think they will drive them away from the faith?
What is the hero of the story about?
5. “... These were both white, both long, both thin, both with long noses, with big eyes. They held each other so tightly, as if one lacked the blue air without the other. The brigadier never separated them. And they all ate in half, and slept on the lining on top of one. And when they stood in a column, or waited for a divorce, or went to bed for the night - everyone was talking among themselves, always quietly and slowly. And they were not brothers at all and met already here, in the 104th. One, they explained, was a fisherman from the coast, while the other, when the Soviets stared, his parents took him away to Sweden as a small child. And he grew up and arrogant, back, fool, to his homeland, to finish the institute. They took him right away."
Who is Solzhenitsyn talking about?
6. “And it was like this: in February of the forty-second year in the North-West they surrounded their entire army, and they didn’t throw anything to eat from the planes, and there weren’t even those planes. They got to the point that they cut the hooves from the horses that had died, soaked that cornea in water and ate. And there was nothing to shoot. And so, little by little, the Germans caught and took them through the forests. And the five of them ran away. And they crept through the forests, through the swamps, miraculously got to their own. Only two submachine gunners laid down their guns on the spot, the third died from wounds, and two of them reached. If they were smarter, they would say that they wandered through the forests, and nothing would come of them. And they opened: they say, from German captivity. From captivity? Your mother is! Fascist agents! And behind bars. There would have been five of them, maybe they would have compared the testimony, they would have checked it, but there was no way for two of them: they agreed, they say, bastards, about escaping.
Whose life story described in this passage?
7. “... I was trembling in front of the battalion commander, and then the regiment commander! (...) “What conscience do you have,” he yells, four sleepers are shaking, “to deceive the worker-peasant power?” I thought he would beat me. No, it didn't. I signed the order - six hours - and kicked out of the gate. (...) And a fierce reference to his hands: "Dismissed from the ranks ... as the son of a fist." Only to work with that certificate (...) By the way, in the thirty-eighth at the Kotlas transfer, I met my former platoon commander, they also put a ten on him. So I learned from him: both the regimental commander and the commissar - both were shot in the thirty-seventh. They were already proletarians or kulaks there. Whether they had a conscience or not: I crossed myself and said: “All the same, You are, the Creator, in heaven. You endure for a long time, but you hit it painfully.
What character's fate is described in the following passage from the story?
8. “Shukhov grabs the smoking mortar with a trowel - and throws it at that place and remembers where the bottom seam went (then hit that seam with the middle of the upper cinder block).
He throws the solution exactly as much as under one cinder block. And he grabs a cinder block from a pile (but with caution enough - he wouldn’t tear up his mitten, the cinder blocks hurt painfully). And even the mortar was leveled with a trowel - a cinder block was slapped there! And now, now he will trim it, knock out the side of the trowel, if not so: so that the outer wall goes along a plumb line, and so that the brick lies flat in length, and so that it is also flat across. And he is already captured, frozen.
What are the convicts building? How does Shukhov feel about his work? In what conditions do prisoners work?
9. “Due to the fact that there were three of them, and there were five guards opposite them, it was possible to get a word - to choose which of the two right ones to approach. Shukhov chose not a young, ruddy man, but an old, grey-whiskered one. The old one was, of course, experienced and could have easily found him if he wanted to, but because he was old, he must have been tired of his service worse than combustible sulfur.
In the meantime, Shukhov took off both mittens, with ... and an empty one, from his hands, grabbed them in one hand (the empty mitten protruded forward), in the same hand grabbed a rope - a belt, unbuttoned the quilted jacket completely, obsequiously picked up the skirts of the pea coat and quilted jacket ( he had never been so helpful at a shmon, but now he wanted to show that he was all open - here, take me!) - and on command he went to the gray mustachioed.
What was Shukhov hiding in one of the mittens? Why did he need this thing? What other forbidden things did the hero possess?
10. “- Well, goodbye, brothers,” he nodded in confusion ... to the 104th brigade and went after the warder.
They shouted to him in several voices, who - they say, be cheered up, who - they say, do not get lost - but what do you say to him? They themselves laid the drill, knows the 104th, the walls there are stone, the floor is cement, there is no window, they heat the stove - only so that the ice from the wall melts and there is a puddle on the floor. Sleep - on bare boards, if you lie down in a tooth-shaking, three hundred grams of bread a day, and gruel - only on the third, sixth and ninth days.
Ten days! Ten days in the local punishment cell, if you serve them strictly to the end, it means losing your health for life. Tuberculosis, and you won't get out of hospitals anymore.
And for fifteen days strictly those who served time are already those in the damp earth.
Which of the heroes was put in a punishment cell and for what?
11. “Shukhov fell asleep quite satisfied. Today he had a lot of luck today ... "
What kind of “good luck” did the hero have throughout the day?
First Reader(poem by Anatoly Zhigulin "Guilt"):
I didn't forget:
In the BUR brigade
Walked in the same formation with me
The one who is still from the royal prisons
I ran down these hills.
I shared tobacco with him as an equal,
We walked side by side in a blizzard whistle:
Quite a youngster, a recent student,
And a Chekist who knew Lenin...
People with numbers!
You were people, not slaves,
You were taller and more stubborn
Your tragic fate.
Third host:
He was in his eighties, and he almost did not see and almost did not hear, he was seriously ill. Behind him are 17 years of camps, 14 of which are in Kolyma. It's amazing he survived at all.
He died the same way he lived - hard and restless in a shelter near Moscow for sick lonely old people. There, in the orphanage, few knew that at one time he was a poet. And of course, no one imagined that time would make his name known to the entire reading country.
We are talking about the prose writer Varlaam Shalamov.
First presenter:
Varlaam Shalamov has always lived hard. He was born in 1907 in Vologda in the family of a priest, and after the revolution, the priest's son had a hard time. After leaving school, young Shalamov leaves for Moscow. An active participant in student circles, he was captured with a copy of Lenin's letter to the XII Party Congress, withheld from the delegates. He was sentenced to 3 years in the camps for distributing a fake known as Lenin's Testament.
After serving his term in a camp in the Northern Urals, Shalamov returned to Moscow and began working as a journalist, engaged in literature, publishing stories in magazines.
But the fatal year of 1937 struck. General revelations of "enemies of the people" began. People were arrested for nothing, and Shalamov, with his "student case", suffered, of course, one of the first. For his "counter-revolutionary Trotskyist activities" he receives 5 years in the camps in Kolyma. Then, as was customary then, Shalamov was given another 10 years for "anti-Soviet agitation."
Only after another 2 years, turning to various authorities, Shalamov seeks permission to leave Kolyma. Shalamov went to live and work in the Kaliningrad region. He was a foreman in peat extraction, a supply agent. At the same time, he wrote his "Kolyma Tales" at night in a hostel room.
After rehabilitation in 1956, Varlaam Shalamov returned to Moscow and began working as a correspondent for the Moscow magazine. But soon he falls seriously ill.
Varlaam Shalamov died in 1982 in the winter. And in 1987, for the first time, several of his camp stories were officially published.
It is undeniable that his books tell the best about the writer. "Kolyma stories" - main book Varlaam Shalamov. Each of the stories in the book brings to the reader the author's idea that "the camp is a negative experience, a negative school, corruption for everyone - for bosses and prisoners, escorts and spectators, passers-by and readers of fiction" and that "even an hour a person does not need to be in the camp ".
Like One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Kolyma Tales tells about camp life. But Varlaam Shalamov portrays the life of a prisoner much worse than Solzhenitsyn. Shalamov has bitterness in any episode, any of the scenes is terrible. IN " Kolyma stories»we are constantly bumping into sudden death heroes, most of whom are dystrophic in a semi-conscious state, to the deeds of the "criminals", to the shots of the guards. Shalamov proves that a person, being in a camp, hungry and unhappy, simply loses human feelings.
(3 members appear on stage, pretending to be prisoners)
First member:
“We were all tired of barrack food, where every time we were ready to cry at the sight of large zinc bowls of soup brought into the barrack on sticks. We were ready to cry because the soup would be liquid. And when a miracle happened, and the soup was thick, we did not believe and, rejoicing, ate it slowly, slowly. But even after the thick soup, a sucking pain remained in the warmed stomach - we had been starving for a long time. All human feelings- love, friendship, envy, philanthropy, mercy, thirst for glory, honesty - left us with the meat that we lost during our long starvation.
Second participant:
“We knew what scientifically based nutritional standards were, what a food replacement table was, according to which it turned out that a bucket of water replaces one hundred grams of butter in terms of calories. We have learned humility, we have forgotten how to be surprised. We had no pride, selfishness, selfishness, and jealousy and passion seemed to us Martian concepts and, moreover, trifles. It was much more important to get the hang of fastening your pants in the cold - adult men cried, sometimes not knowing how to do it.
We understood that death is no worse than life, and we were not afraid of either one or the other. A great indifference dominated us. We knew that it was in our will to end this life even tomorrow, and sometimes we decided to do it, and every time we were hindered by some little things that make up life. Then today they will give out a “stall” - a premium kilogram of bread, it was just stupid to commit suicide on such a day. That orderly from the neighboring barracks promised to give a cigarette in the evening - to pay off a long-standing debt.
Third member:
“We also understood an amazing thing: in the eyes of the state and its representatives, a physically strong person is better, namely better, more moral, more valuable than a person weak, something that cannot throw twenty cubic meters of soil out of the trench per shift.
Third host:
“Prisoners had to work in any weather, be it cold, frost or rain. The weather conditions in Kolyma are not pleasant, to put it mildly. They didn’t show the workers a thermometer, but it wasn’t necessary - they had to go to work at any degree. In addition, the old-timers almost accurately determined the frost: if there is a frosty fog, then it is 40 degrees below zero outside; if the air comes out with noise during breathing, but it is still not difficult to breathe, it means 45 degrees; if breathing is noisy and shortness of breath is noticeable - 50 degrees. Above 55 degrees spit freezes on the fly.
First member:
“We have been drilling at the new site for the third day. Each had his own pit, and in three days each went deeper by half a meter, no more. ... It rained for the third day without ceasing. ... We were wet for a long time, I can’t say to the underwear, because we didn’t have any underwear. The primitive secret calculation of the authorities was such that rain and cold would force us to work. But the hatred for work was even stronger, and every evening the foreman, with a curse, lowered his wooden measure with notches into the pit.
We couldn't get out of the pits, we could be shot. Only our foreman could walk between the pits. We couldn't shout to each other - we would have been shot.
During the night we did not have time to dry our jackets, and we dried our tunics and trousers at night with our bodies and almost managed to dry them.
Second participant:
“Hungry and angry, I knew that nothing in the world would make me commit suicide. It was at this time that I began to understand the essence of the great life instinct of the very quality with which I am endowed in the highest degree Human. I saw how our horses were exhausted and dying, I cannot put it differently, use other verbs. Horses were no different from people. They died from the North, from overwork, bad food, beatings, and even though all this was given to them a thousand times less than people, they died before people. And I understood the most important thing, that a man became a man not because he was God's creation, but because he was physically stronger, more enduring than other animals.
Third host:
“Yes, some survived in unbearable conditions, but their health remained undermined for life. In the camp, in order for a healthy young man, starting his career in a camp slaughter in the clean winter air, to turn into a goner, a period of at least twenty to thirty days is needed with a sixteen-hour working day, without days off, with systematic hunger, torn clothes and spending the night in a sixty-degree frost in a leaky tarpaulin tent, when the tenants, the elders from the blatars, the convoy were beaten. These dates have been verified multiple times. But sometimes the prisoners got lucky.”
Third member:
“In Bamlag, on the ‘second paths’, we carried sand in wheelbarrows. The haulage is distant, the norm is twenty-five cubic meters. You can make less full norms - a penalty ration, three hundred grams, and gruel once a day. And the one who makes the norm receives a kilogram of bread, in addition to welding, and even in the store has the right to buy a kilogram of bread for cash.
They worked in pairs. And the rules are inconceivable. So we said: today we ride on you together from your slaughter. Let's roll out the norm. We get two kilograms of bread, and three hundred grams of my penalty - each will get one hundred and fifty kilos. Working for me tomorrow... Whole month so rolled. Why not life? ... Then someone from the authorities exposed our thing, and our happiness ended.
Third host:
Prisoners fished for extra grams of bread as best they could: for some time they hid the deceased in order to receive his rations when distributing bread, at night they dug up the buried dead, took off their clothes to exchange them for tobacco and again bread. Only the thieves lived easily in the camps, those who were imprisoned for robbery, theft, and murder. It was not surprising to them that an ordinary game of cards could end up killing a fraer and sharing his bloody sweater.
Shalamov tells how, having absolutely no understanding of camp life, his relatives sent him a parcel to Kolyma, and in it were felt cloaks, which the criminals would probably have stolen from him on the very first night or simply would have been taken away.
Therefore, Shalamov immediately sells the cloaks to the guard for next to nothing in order to buy bread and butter, which he has not seen for several years. He invites his friend Semyon Sheinin to share his unexpected feast. He happily ran away for boiling water.
“And immediately,” writes Shalamov, “I fell to the ground from a terrible blow to the head. When I jumped up, there was no bag of butter and bread. The meter-long larch log with which they beat me was lying near the bed. And everyone was laughing…”
(Participants pretending to leave)
First presenter:
The brutality of the Kolyma camps, the tragedy that has become everyday life - this is the main subject of the image in Shalamov's Kolyma Tales. Camps disfigure people both physically and morally. Shalamov says that there should be no camps in a healthy society.
The camps are the brainchild of a totalitarian state in which Russian people lived for a long time. Stalinism was a huge evil - a cancerous tumor on the body of the whole country. Totalitarian regime- this is the lack of freedom, surveillance, bloated military, the suppression of living thought, trials, camps, false figures, arrests, executions.
Second presenter:
It is over with this, but how can such a thing be removed from the memory of the people? Is it possible to forget about the armies of prisoners, under the barking of shepherds and the blows of butts erected construction sites? About mass arrests, mass starvation, extermination and executions? It cannot be forgotten, erased from memory. The poet Alexander Tvardovsky in his poem "By the Right of Memory" reflects on this and deeply judges the Stalinist time.
First Reader("About memory"):
Forget, forget they say silently
They want to drown in oblivion
Living pain. And so that the waves
Closed over her. Reality - forget!
Forget family and friends
And so many fates the way of the cross -
All that be a long-standing dream,
Bad, wild fiction,
So it is - go and forget it.
Second reader:
But it was an obvious reality
For those whose century was torn off,
For those who have become camp dust,
As someone once said.
Forget - oh no, we are with those together.
Forget that they did not come from the war,
Some that even this honor
Harsh were deprived.
third reader:
They order to forget and ask for affection
Do not remember - memory for printing,
So that inadvertently that publicity
Don't bother the uninitiated.
No, all the past omissions
Now the duty orders to say
Inquisitive daughter-Komsomol member
Go and agree on your Glavlit.
fourth reader:
Explain why and whose guardianship
Classified as a closed article
unnamed century
Bad memory deeds;
Which one, not put in order,
Decided for us
Special congress
On this sleepless memory
Just on her
Put up a cross.
sixth reader:
And who said that adults
Other pages can not be read?
Or our valor will subside
And honor will fade in the world?
Ile about the past victories aloud
We will only please the enemy
What to pay for their victory
Did it happen to us at exorbitant prices?
Seventh Reader:
Is his slander new to us?
Or everything that we are strong in the world,
Forget about mothers and wives,
Not knowing their own fault,
About children separated from them
And before the war
And without war.
And speaking of the uninitiated:
Where to get them? All are dedicated.
Everyone knows everything; trouble with the people! -
Not with that, so they know it by birth,
Not by marks and scars,
So in passing, in passing,
So through those who themselves ...
Eighth Reader:
And for nothing they think that memory
Doesn't value itself.
What will drag out the duckweed of time
Any pain
Any pain;
That so and so lies the planet,
Count down the years and days
And what is not exacted from the poet,
When behind the ghost of prohibition
Keep silent about what burns the soul ...
Ninth reader:
With all the newness we have grown,
And then watered and blood,
Not worth the price anymore?
And our business is only a dream,
And glory - the noise of empty rumors?
Then the silencers are right
Then everything is dust - poetry and prose.
Everything is just so - from the head.
Would tell us trouble in the future;
Who hides the past jealously
He is unlikely to be in harmony with the future ...
tenth reader:
What is now considered large, what is small -
How to know, but people are not grass:
Don't turn them all in bulk
In some who do not remember kinship.
Let eyewitness generations
Will go down quietly to the bottom
Prosperous oblivion
Our nature is not given.
