What are the heroes of Russian oral epic creativity? Perkhavko V.B

The main characters of epics are heroes. They embody the ideal of a courageous person devoted to his homeland and people. The hero fights alone against hordes of enemy forces. Among the epics, a group of the most ancient stands out. These are the so-called epics about “elder” heroes, associated with mythology. The heroes of these works are the personification of unknown forces of nature associated with mythology. Such are Svyatogor and Volkhv Vseslavevich, Danube and Mikhailo Potyk.

In the second period of their history, the ancient heroes were replaced by heroes of modern times - Ilya Muromets, Nikitich And Alesha Popovich. These are the heroes of the so-called Kyiv cycle epic Under cyclization refers to the unification of epic images and plots around individual characters and places of action. This is how the Kiev cycle of epics, associated with the city of Kiev, developed.

Most epics depict the world of Kievan Rus. The heroes go to Kyiv to serve Prince Vladimir, and they protect him from enemy hordes. The content of these epics is predominantly heroic and military in nature.

Another major center of the ancient Russian state was Novgorod. Epics Novgorod cycle- everyday, novelistic 4. The heroes of these epics were merchants, princes, peasants, guslars (Sadko, Volga, Mikula, Vasily Buslaev, Blud Khotenovich).

The world depicted in epics is the entire Russian land. So, Ilya Muromets sees from the Bogatyrskaya outpost high mountains, green meadows, dark forests. The epic world is “bright” and “sunny”, but it is threatened by enemy forces: dark clouds, fog, thunderstorms are approaching, the sun and stars are dimming from countless enemy hordes. This is a world of contrast between good and evil, light and dark forces. In it, heroes fight against the manifestation of evil and violence. Without this struggle, the epic peace is impossible.

Each hero has a certain, dominant character trait. Ilya Muromets personifies strength; he is the most powerful Russian hero after Svyatogor. Dobrynya is also a strong and brave warrior, a snake fighter, but also a hero-diplomat. Prince Vladimir sends him on special diplomatic missions. Alyosha Popovich personifies ingenuity and cunning. “He won’t take it by force, but by cunning,” they say about him in epics. Monumental images of heroes and grandiose achievements are the fruit of artistic generalization, the embodiment in one person of the abilities and strength of the people or social group, exaggeration of what actually exists, i.e. hyperbolization 5 and idealization 6. Poetic language the epic is solemnly melodious and rhythmically organized. Its special artistic media- comparisons, metaphors, epithets - reproduce pictures and images that are epically sublime, grandiose, and when depicting enemies - terrible, ugly. 7

In different epics, motifs and images, plot elements, identical scenes, lines and groups of lines are repeated. Thus, through all the epics of the Kyiv cycle there are images of Prince Vladimir, the city of Kyiv, and heroes. Bylinas, like other works of folk art, do not have a fixed text. Passed from mouth to mouth, they changed and varied. Each epic had an infinite number of variants.

In epics, fabulous miracles are performed: the reincarnation of characters, the revival of the dead, werewolves. They contain mythological images of enemies and fantastic elements, but fantasy is different than in a fairy tale. It is based on folk historical ideas. The famous folklorist of the 19th century A.F. Hilferding wrote:

“When a person doubts that a hero can carry a forty-pound club or kill an entire army on the spot, the epic poetry in him is killed. And many signs convinced me that the northern Russian peasant singing epics, and the vast majority of those who listen to him, certainly believe in the truth of the miracles that are depicted in the epic. The epic preserved historical memory. Miracles were perceived as history in the life of the people.” 8

There are many historically reliable signs in the epics: descriptions of details, ancient weapons of warriors (sword, shield, spear, helmet, chain mail). They glorify Kyiv-grad, Chernigov, Murom, Galich. Other ancient Russian cities are named. Events also unfold in Ancient Novgorod. They indicate the names of some historical figures: Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh. These princes were united in the popular imagination into one collective image Prince Vladimir - “Red Sun”.

There is a lot of fantasy and fiction in epics. But fiction is poetic truth. The epics reflected the historical conditions of life of the Slavic people: conquests Pechenegs and Polovtsians to Rus', destruction of villages, full of women and children, plunder of wealth. Later, in the XIII-XIV centuries, Rus' was under the yoke of the Mongol-Tatars, which is also reflected in epics. During the years of people's trials, they instilled love for native land. It is no coincidence that the epic is heroic folk song about the feat of the defenders of the Russian land.

However, epics depict not only the heroic deeds of heroes, enemy invasions, battles, but also everyday human life in its social and everyday manifestations and historical conditions. This is reflected in the cycle of Novgorod epics. In them, the heroes are noticeably different from the epic heroes of the Russian epic. The epics about Sadko and Vasily Buslaev include not just new original themes and plots, but also new epic images, new types of heroes who do not know other epic cycles. Novgorod heroes, unlike the heroes of the heroic cycle, do not commit feats of arms. This is explained by the fact that Novgorod escaped the Horde invasion; Batu’s hordes did not reach the city. However, the Novgorodians could not only rebel (V. Buslaev) and play the gusli (Sadko), but also fight and win brilliant victories over the conquerors from the West.

appears as a Novgorod hero Vasily Buslaev. Two epics are dedicated to him. One of them talks about political struggle in Novgorod, in which he takes part. Vaska Buslaev rebels against the townspeople, comes to feasts and starts quarrels with “rich merchants”, “men (men) of Novgorod”, enters into a duel with the “elder” Pilgrim - a representative of the church. With his squad, he “fights and fights day until evening.” The townspeople “submitted and made peace” and pledged to pay “three thousand every year.” Thus, the epic depicts a clash between the rich Novgorod settlement, eminent men and those townspeople who defended the independence of the city.

The hero's rebellion is manifested even in his death. In the epic “How Vaska Buslaev Went to Pray,” he violates prohibitions even at the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, swimming naked in the Jordan River. There he dies, remaining a sinner. V.G. Belinsky wrote that “Vasily’s death comes directly from his character, daring and violent, which seems to be asking for trouble and death.” 9

One of the most poetic and fairy tale epics Novgorod cycle is the epic "Sadko". V.G. Belinsky defined the epic “as one of the pearls of Russian folk poetry, the poetic apotheosis of 10 Novgorod.” eleven Sadko- a poor psaltery player who became rich thanks to skillful playing of the gusli and the patronage of the Sea King. As a hero, he expresses infinite strength and endless prowess. Sadko loves his land, his city, his family. Therefore, he refuses the countless riches offered to him and returns home.

So, epics are poetic, works of art. They contain a lot of unexpected, surprising, incredible things. However, they are fundamentally truthful, they convey the people's understanding of history, folk performance about duty, honor, justice. At the same time, they are skillfully constructed, their language is unique.

Ilya Muromets is the most famous, but at the same time the most mysterious hero of the Russian epic. It is difficult to find a person in Russia who has never heard of this glorious hero from the ancient city of Murom. Most know about him only what they remember from childhood from epics and fairy tales, and are often amazed at the complexity and ambiguity of this image. Scientists of various specialties have been struggling to resolve the mysteries associated with it for almost two centuries, but mysteries still remain.
Our ancestors of the 16th - early 19th centuries. had no doubt that Ilya Muromets was real historical figure, a warrior who served the Kyiv prince.
The usual beginning of epic tales, where Ilya leaves “Whether from that city from Murom, from that village from Karacharovo,” would seem to leave no room for doubt that he comes from the ancient Russian city of Murom, where not far from him there still exists the ancient village of Karacharovo. But doubts about the origin of the epic hero arose both in the last century and in our time. They are trying to connect the famous hero with the Chernigov region, where there are the cities of Moroviysk and Karachev, and where there are also legends about Ilya Muromets. But if we turn to the usual geographical map, it is clear that these two cities are separated by hundreds of kilometers and talking about the “Morovian city of Karachev” is absurd. Meanwhile, one cannot help but notice that Murom, Karachev, Chernigov, Moroviysk and Kyiv lie on the same line. This is precisely the same “straight path” that the hero used to travel from his native Murom to Kiev “through those forests, Brynskie, across the Smorodinnaya River,” through the village of Nine Oaks, not far from Karachev. That is, there is no contradiction between classical epics and Karachev legends. It is also worth noting that ancient city Murom was part of the Chernigov principality for quite a long time. The association of the name of the epic hero with the city of Murom is fully consistent with both epic and historical reality. Murom and the Murom principality were quite significant both during the times of Kyiv, Vladimir-Suzdal, and Muscovite Rus', to become the birthplace of Ilya Muromets.
Meanwhile, Russian chronicles do not mention his name. But he is the main one actor not only our epics, but also German epic poems of the 13th century, based on earlier legends. In them he is presented as a mighty knight, princely family Ilya Russian. In a documentary source, the name of this famous hero was first mentioned in 1574. The envoy of the Roman Emperor Erich Lassota, who visited Kyiv in 1594, left a description of the tomb of Ilya Muromets, located in the heroic chapel of the St. Sophia Cathedral.

Second part workbook for 4th grade in the subject " The world"by the authors Pleshakov, Novitskaya (the Perspective program) is quite complex, but children are no longer small, capable of understanding both history and archeology. Basically, this workbook, or rather its second part, touches on history.

Fundamental here is the “river of time”, work on which is carried out throughout the second half of the school year. Apparently, during the “world around us” lessons, the authors decided to prepare children in advance for history lessons, which they will begin to study in the 5th grade.

At the end of the notebook, Pleshakov again turns to the topic of folk art, apparently trying to instill in his students patriotism, which he failed to instill in the first grade.

3. Using the textbook, compose a page of the “Calendar of Memorable Dates” dedicated to A.P. Okladnikov.

Okladnikov Alexey Pavlovich (October 3, 1908 - November 18, 1981).

Okladnikov Alexey Pavlovich - Soviet archaeologist, historian, ethnographer. Okladnikov's main works are devoted to research into the history of primitive culture, Paleolithic and Neolithic art, the history of Siberia and Far East.

Born into a teacher's family. While still at school, he was interested in history and local history. In 1925 Okladnikov entered Irkutsk University, here he expanded his knowledge in the “Ethnic Studies” circle of Professor B. E. Petri.

They say about Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov that he had a unique ability to work. The academician did not drink, did not smoke, and in life, except for science, nothing else attracted him. In archeology, he was a real ace. The list of works written by Okladnikov alone amounted to about 80 pages of minute text. However, he cannot be classified as an armchair scientist. Alexey Pavlovich’s entire life was spent on archaeological expeditions; he traveled around the Asian part former USSR up and down and often wrote his books while sitting by the fire.

He made scientific discoveries casually, that is, he literally discovered them under his feet. For example, in 1949, Alexey Pavlovich found himself on an excursion next to Egyptian pyramids as part of an international delegation. He, unlike his foreign colleagues who were admiring the beauty, immediately drew attention to the suspicious stones scattered around the pyramids. These stones had chips that only a man could have made. stone era. So he discovered the Egyptian Paleolithic, the material evidence of which was sought in vain by scientists around the world.

In Mongolia, this story repeated itself. The Americans spent huge amounts of money on an archaeological expedition to find traces of ancient man there. We searched for several years, but to no avail. Alexey Pavlovich had just managed to get off the plane when he discovered these traces. On the way from the airport to Ulaanbaatar, he collected a suitcase full of stone finds.

In 1928, Alexey Pavlovich drew attention to one of the most remarkable monuments rock art Siberia - Shishkinsky rocks, the petroglyphs of which were first mentioned in the 18th century by the traveler Miller, and the artist Lorenius made several sketches. Okladnikov seemed to rediscover this monument ancient art peoples of Siberia and conducted his research there for decades, based on the results of which he published two fundamental monographs.

In the 30s, Okladnikov led the Angarsk archaeological expedition, which for three years explored the banks of the Angara over 600 kilometers - from Irkutsk to the village of Bratsk. The small funds allocated for the expedition did not allow excavations of any significant scale at that time. Ancient monuments could only be recorded and, at best, cursorily examined.

During the Great Patriotic War, Okladnikov worked in Yakutia on the Lena River. At the same time, he began excavating the remains of the camp of the Russian polar expedition on the northern Thaddeus Island and in the area of ​​​​the Taimyr Peninsula (Simsa Bay). The archaeologist managed to reconstruct the picture of the death of the earliest known expedition of Russian industrialists, who walked east along the shores of the Arctic Ocean.

For more than half a century, Okladnikov went on expeditions every summer to search for and study traces of ancient man’s presence on the territory of our country. He has the honor of discovering a number of remarkable monuments of the distant past: sites and rock paintings, discovered and studied under his leadership on the Angara, Lena, Kolyma, Selenga, Amur and Ussuri, for the first time made it possible to accurately and completely present the history of the ancient inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East over many millennia.

In 1961, Okladnikov went to work at the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Akdemgorodok). He was appointed director of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy. He worked in this position until his death in 1981. Now Okladnikov’s work is continued by his numerous students who work in every city where there is a history department at the university.

CYRILL AND MEFODIUS - brothers from Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki), Slavic educators, creators Slavic alphabet, preachers of Christianity. Cyril and Methodius in 863 were invited from Byzantium by Prince Rostislav to the Great Moravian Empire to introduce worship in the Slavic language.

Our alphabet is now almost in the form in which the brothers Cyril and Methodius brought it to Rus'. They translated many books, mostly religious, from Greek into Slavic, and introduced worship in the Slavic language. For this they suffered a lot of persecution from the Roman Catholics: they did not want the Slavs to have their own written language. To this the brothers answered: “Doesn’t the sun shine for everyone, doesn’t it rain for everyone, doesn’t the Word of God’s truth come to everyone, and in the language that man speaks?”

The chronicler reports that the first words written by the brothers in the Slavic language were from the Gospel of John: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

There was an alphabet prayer based on the Slavic alphabet. “Az buki lead” in translation: I know (know) the letters. “The verb, good, is, live” in translation: it’s good to live kindly. “What are you thinking, people?” there is no need to translate this. Just like “rtsy, word, firmly,” that is: speak the word confidently, firmly.

The Day of the Holy Thessalonica brothers Cyril and Methodius is celebrated on the very day when in our schools last call, May 24. This day is a holiday of Slavic writing and culture.

4. Using the textbook and additional sources of information, compose a page of the “Calendar of Memorable Dates” dedicated to Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky.

Andrei Yurievich Bogolyubsky (approx. 1111 - 1174)

Andrei Bogolyubsky is the son of Yuri Vladimirovich (Dolgoruky) and the Polovtsian princess, daughter of Khan Aepa Osenevich.

According to the late “Life of Andrei Bogolyubsky” (1701), Andrei Yuryevich received the nickname “Bogolyubsky” after the name of the city of Bogolyubov near Vladimir, his main residence.

Andrei Bogolyubsky was the most important political and spiritual figure in the history of Rus' in 1160-1170, as he not only contributed to the creation of the powerful Vladimir-Suzdal principality (on the site of the former Rostov estate of his grandfather, Vladimir Monomakh), but also turned the city of Vladimir-on- Klyazma is the center of the political and spiritual life of Rus'.

During the reign of Andrei Bogolyubsky, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality achieved significant power and was the strongest in Rus', and later it became the core of the modern Russian state.

Andrei's father, the Suzdal prince Yuri Dolgoruky, sought to establish himself in Kyiv and waged endless feuds with his opponents. Andrei was forced for the time being to obey his father's will. During the periods of Yuri's short-term reign in Kyiv, he ruled in neighboring fiefs - Vyshgorod, Turov, Pinsk (1149-1151, 1155). But he did not like reigning in the troubled southern lands, where his fate would depend on the mood of the squad and the veche decisions of the townspeople.

Power-hungry and capricious in character, Andrei wanted to give a dominant position among the Russian principalities to the Rostov-Suzdal land, to make it the center state life in Rus'. This prompted him to flee to Suzdal land in 1155 against the will of his father.

The residence founded by the prince in Bogolyubov became the favorite place of residence of Andrei, who has since been nicknamed Bogolyubsky. In 1157, after the death of Yuri Dolgoruky, the citizens of Rostov and Suzdal unanimously proclaimed Andrei prince. But he chose not Suzdal as the capital of the principality, but Vladimir, where he launched stone construction on a grand scale.

Under Andrei, the Golden Gates, the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, the Assumption Cathedral - world-famous masterpieces of ancient Russian architecture - were built, as well as many monasteries, temples, and fortifications.

Bogolyubsky deprived of his possessions and expelled four of his brothers, two nephews, and boyars dissatisfied with his autocracy. These measures strengthened the princely positions, but at the same time increased the number of enemies.

However, Andrei's political interests extended much further than the borders of North-Eastern Rus'. The reason for one of the disputes was that Kyiv prince Mstislav Izyaslavich, Andrei's longtime opponent, of his own free will sent his son Roman to reign in Novgorod.

In 1169, the united army of 11 princes, equipped by Bogolyubsky, moved towards Kyiv. The ruined and plundered city forever lost its former significance as the center of Rus', and dominance in the Russian lands finally passed to the city of Vladimir.

Almost all the buildings are wooden, including the fortress and the towers on it. Only temples are built of stone.

Moscow began to be built on the banks of the river. In the reproduction we see that there are boats at the pier. They probably carried some kind of cargo for the residents of Moscow or for the construction of the city.

It can also be noted that the roads in those days were very bad, and movement was carried out with the help of horses. As can be seen in the picture, horses are pulling carts with cargo. At the same time, some kind of devices for lifting loads already existed, as can be seen in the lower right part of the reproduction.

In 1380, Prince Dmitry Ivanovich sat on the Moscow throne. At that time, Rus' was fragmented into principalities and was under the yoke of the Mongol-Tatars. Dmitry understood well that in order to successfully fight the Mongol-Tatars, all Russian principalities must unite their forces.

Prince Dmitry sent messengers throughout Rus' with his letters and in 30 days gathered a huge army. The prince was blessed for the battle with the Mongol-Tatars by Sergius of Radonezh, the founder of the Trinity Monastery. He gave Dmitry two monks, famous warriors - Peresvet and Oslyabya.

Dmitry led his troops towards the Mongol ruler Mamai. They met on the Kulikovo field, where the Nepryadva River flows into the Don.

Dmitry fought as a simple warrior along with his army. The battle lasted almost the whole day. The Mongols began to prevail, but an ambush regiment hit them in the rear - and the Mongols fled. So the Russian troops won.

In honor of the victory in this battle, the prince-commander was nicknamed Dmitry Donskoy. Although our troops won a victory on the Kulikovo field, Rus' still had a hundred years of struggle ahead of it against the Mongol-Tatar yoke.

Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky - leaders of the second people's militia during the Polish intervention in the Time of Troubles in 1611 - 1612.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Russian land was occupied by enemies - the Poles. Even in Moscow, the capital, there was a Polish garrison, and Novgorod was captured by the Swedes. Russia was threatened with loss of independence.

In the fall of 1611, in Nizhny Novgorod, the zemstvo elder Kuzma Minin began collecting civil uprising(army) to fight enemies. One of the best military leaders of that time, Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky, was called to command the militia.

IN Nizhny Novgorod militias began to gather from all over the country. For almost a whole year, the Russian people gathered their forces, and finally, in July 1612, the militia of Minin and Pozharsky marched on Moscow. The battle took place on August 24, it was stubborn and bloody. The Polish garrison settled in the Kremlin and held out for about two months. Eventually hunger forced the enemies to leave. Soon the entire Russian land was cleared of foreign invaders.

In Moscow, on Red Square, a monument was erected with the following inscription: “Grateful Russia to Citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky.”

Ilya Muromets is the most famous, but at the same time the most mysterious hero of the Russian epic. It is difficult to find a person in Russia who has never heard of this glorious hero from the ancient city of Murom. Most know about him only what they remember from childhood from epics and fairy tales, and are often amazed at the complexity and ambiguity of this image. Scientists of various specialties have been struggling to resolve the mysteries associated with it for almost two centuries, but mysteries still remain.
Our ancestors of the 16th – early 19th centuries. there was no doubt that Ilya Muromets was a real historical figure, a warrior who served the Kyiv prince.
The usual beginning of epic tales, where Ilya leaves “Whether from that city from Murom, from that village from Karacharovo,” would seem to leave no room for doubt that he comes from the ancient Russian city of Murom, where not far from him there still exists the ancient village of Karacharovo. But doubts about the origin of the epic hero arose both in the last century and in our time. They are trying to connect the famous hero with the Chernigov region, where there are the cities of Moroviysk and Karachev, and where there are also legends about Ilya Muromets. But if you look at an ordinary geographical map, you can see that these two cities are separated by hundreds of kilometers and talking about the “Morovian city of Karachev” is absurd. Meanwhile, one cannot help but notice that Murom, Karachev, Chernigov, Moroviysk and Kyiv lie on the same line. This is precisely the same “straight path” that the hero used to travel from his native Murom to Kiev “through those forests, Brynskie, across the Smorodinnaya River,” through the village of Nine Oaks, not far from Karachev. That is, there is no contradiction between classical epics and Karachev legends. It is also worth noting that the ancient city of Murom was part of the Chernigov principality for quite a long time. The association of the name of the epic hero with the city of Murom is fully consistent with both epic and historical reality. Murom and the Murom principality were quite significant both during the times of Kyiv, Vladimir-Suzdal, and Muscovite Rus', to become the birthplace of Ilya Muromets.
Meanwhile, Russian chronicles do not mention his name. But he is the main character not only of our epics, but also of German epic poems of the 13th century, based on earlier legends. In them he is represented as a powerful knight, the princely family Ilya the Russian. In a documentary source, the name of this famous hero was first mentioned in 1574. The envoy of the Roman Emperor Erich Lassota, who visited Kyiv in 1594, left a description of the tomb of Ilya Muromets, located in the heroic chapel of the St. Sophia Cathedral.
