At night

The night was dark. Although the moon had risen, it was hidden by thick clouds that covered the horizon. Perfect silence reigned in the air. Not the slightest breeze rippled the smooth surface of the sleeping river, which quickly and silently rolled its waters to the sea. In some places, only a slight splash was heard near the steep bank from a lump of earth that separated and fell into the water. Sometimes a duck flew over us, and we heard a quiet but sharp whistle of its wings. Sometimes the catfish floated to the surface of the water, stuck out its ugly head for a moment and, whipping its tail along the jets, sank into the depths. All is quiet again.

Suddenly there is a dull, drawn-out roar and does not go away for a long time, as if frozen in the silent night. This deer wanders far, far away and calls the female. The hunter's heart trembles at this sound, and before his eyes a proud horn is clearly drawn, quietly making its way through the reeds.

The boat, meanwhile, glides imperceptibly, propelled by the careful strokes of the oars. The tall, motionless figure of Stepan looms indistinctly on the horizon. His white long oar moves inaudibly back and forth and only occasionally is transferred from one side of the boat to the other. (167 words) (According to I. Bielfeld)

Night in the forest

The village was somewhere beyond the forest. If you go into it high road, you need to wave more than a dozen kilometers; if you go along the forest paths, the path will be cut in half. Thick roots wrapped around the winding path. The forest is noisy, soothing. Withered leaves swirl in the cold air. The path, meandering among the trees, rises to the hillocks, descends into the hollows, climbing into the thickets of aspen, runs out into glades overgrown with spruce forests, and it seems that it will never lead you anywhere.

But along with the leaves, snowflakes begin to spin. There are more and more of them, and nothing is visible in the snowy round dance: neither falling leaves, nor a path.

Autumn day is like a candle: smoldering, smoldering with a dim fire and dying out. Twilight falls on the forest, and the road is not visible at all; don't know where to go.

It's creepy and scary in the dark, and Marina is all alone. Going further is risky: in autumn, the northern forests are fearful of wolves. Marina climbs a tree and decides to wait out the long night in the forest.

Wet snow watered the coat with moisture. It's cold and frostbitten feet ache. Finally, in the dank dawn, the roosters suddenly crowed. The village, it turns out, was very close. (168 words)

(According to L. Frolov)

Human and nature

A person impoverishes his spiritual life if he arrogantly looks down on everything living and inanimate that is not endowed with his human mind. After all, the life of people, no matter how complex it may be, no matter how far our power over the surrounding world extends, is just a particle of the life of nature. After all, what we know about her today is so small compared to the mysterious, amazing and beautiful that we still have to learn about her. Perhaps, to find out today, when it is important for a person to connect in his mind the latest data on elementary particles, on the "white dwarfs" and "black holes" of the Universe with the snow-whiteness of daisies in forest glades, with luxurious, pulsating constellations above his head, somewhere in the middle endless steppe.

We are still interested in the habits of animals and birds - outlandish overseas and ours, familiar from childhood. We are interested in many things: why such a dense beast as a bear is easy to train; whether the gray wolf is threatened by being included in the Red Book (there scientists bring animals that are threatened with extinction from the face of the planet); how fast rock crystals grow and why the common plantain leaf is considered healing. (169 words) (According to I. Akimushkin)

In July

Everything that was around did not dispose to ordinary thoughts. To the right, the hills darkened, which seemed to obscure something unknown and terrible, to the left, the whole sky above the horizon was flooded with a crimson glow, and it was difficult to understand whether there was a fire somewhere or the moon was about to rise . The distance was visible as in the daytime, but its delicate lilac color, shaded by the evening mist, was gone, and the whole steppe hid in the mist...

On July evenings and nights, the quails and corncrakes no longer sing, the nightingales no longer sing in the forest ravines, there is no smell of flowers, but the steppe is still beautiful and full of life. As soon as the sun sets and the earth is enveloped in darkness, the daytime anguish is forgotten, everything is forgiven, and the steppe sighs easily with a wide chest. The monotonous rattle lulls you like a lullaby, you go and feel that you are falling asleep, but then from somewhere comes the abrupt, disturbing cry of an unsleeping bird, or an indefinite sound is heard, similar to someone’s voice, and drowsiness lowers your eyelids ... It smells of hay, dried grass and belated flowers, but the smell is thick, sweet-sweet and gentle.

Everything is visible through the darkness, but it is difficult to make out the color and outlines of objects. (168 words) (A. Chekhov)

Airplane

They jumped up from the grass and ran to the place where, according to the calculation, the airplane was supposed to take off from the ground. If by that time the flight itself had already ceased to seem like a miracle, then the very take-off, that intimate moment, when a barely noticeable gap suddenly appeared between the running wheel of the apparatus and the surface of the earth, still continued to delight, like magic, to which the earthly being is not so it was easy to get used to. They quickly ran a hundred meters and quite boyishly fell into the grass ...

Now the airplane was running very close past them. Pressing down to the ground and stretching their necks, they saw bicycle wheels with brand new tires running through the grass: they bounced a little. Then the wheels jumped slightly and did not immediately descend, as if hanging in the air, but nevertheless touched the meadow again, then jumped again and this time did not return to the ground, although they were quite low above it. (140 words) (According to V. Kataev)

The fate of man

War thunderstorms died down, and for more than ten years our people had been building a peaceful life, when M.A. Sholokhov again turned to the military theme. Reading it short story titled "The Fate of a Man", and the heart shrinks from the unbridled narration, which is led by an experienced driver, a soldier who has passed the most terrible trials.

Two years in German death camps. Escape when there was no longer the strength to fight for life. But on native land Andrey Sokolov is waiting for new blows. He learns that his wife and daughters were killed during the bombing, and his son went to no one knows where. Shortly before the end of the war, Andrei finds his son in order to lose him on the last war day.

And now a middle-aged man who has lost everything that makes up the meaning of life meets a tiny defenseless creature. The one who endured so much of his own did not become hardened in soul, did not become indifferent to the grief of others. Vanyushka became everything for Andrey. And the old soldier lives for his new son, so that a six-year-old child will never again feel like an orphan.

Call A.S. Pushkin

Pushkin's first meeting with Nicholas I took place in Moscow, where the tsar summoned the poet from the Mikhailovsky exile. This was two months after the massacre of the Decembrists, many of whom were friends of the poet. Pushkin knew that his freedom-loving poems were found in the cases of almost all the convicted Decembrists, that these poems were widely distributed in the army, and that he himself was under suspicion of the tsar. When Nikolai did not get the arrestees to testify about the poet's direct connection with them, he ordered that his "outrageous" 2 poems be burned.

While still in Mikhailovskoye, Pushkin carefully reviews his papers and destroys the most dangerous pages of precious notes about outstanding contemporaries, which he kept for five years. The poet was afraid that his notes could harm many, and perhaps even increase the number of victims.

The tsar asked Pushkin if his way of thinking had changed during the years of exile and if he gave his word to think and act differently. The poet could not, however, become different and still behaved freely and independently. This is evidenced by at least the poem "Arion", in which Pushkin proclaims his loyalty to his Decembrist friends: "I sing the old hymns ..." (169 words)

Vasily Stasov

All the way to Tsarskoye Selo, the architect Vasily Stasov was immersed in his own thoughts. From time to time he threw an absent-minded glance at the snow-covered plain, along which ran the road connecting the capital with Tsarskoye Selo and thought about his own.

He, a young architect who built a lot in Moscow, was instructed to draw up a project for the alteration of the wing, in which it was decided to open a new educational institution - the Lyceum.

Stasov remembered the rumors that went around in St. Petersburg society. Some said that the emperor planned to educate his younger brothers - Nicholas and Mikhail - along with the offspring of the most noble families. Others believed that the king, who did not have his own children, wanted to see young people near him. Still others believed that these were the malicious undertakings of Speransky, who infiltrated the sovereign's confidence and incited him to dangerous and harmful reforms. But no matter what was interpreted in the metropolitan society, at the beginning of 1811 a decree was published on the founding of the Lyceum, and now he, the architect Stasov, was invited to immediately inspect the building in which the Lyceum will be located and decide how best to adapt it to the needs of the future educational institution. (160 words)

Although the pupils came together, classes at the Lyceum did not begin. Everyone was preparing for October 19, the day when the Lyceum will be solemnly opened.

Count Razumovsky, the Minister of Education, arrived. He examined everything and ordered a rehearsal of the upcoming celebration to be held in his presence. He was given a chair. He sat down, watching gloomily as pupils in ceremonial uniforms were brought in, lined up, calling them according to the list, taught to bow respectfully and gracefully to the place where the king would sit.

The hall where the rehearsal took place was small, but beautiful. Light, with four columns supporting the ceiling, with walls that were painted to look like pink marble, shiny parquet, wall-to-wall mirrors. It was here that later public examinations and other celebrations were supposed to be held. The architect, who was remodeling the building, adapting it to the needs of the educational institution, was ordered to make the room look like a front. The walls of the hall were skillfully painted. Military armor, banners, scenes from ancient times seemed not painted, but fashioned, convex. The painting adorned both the ceiling and four arches through which they entered the assembly hall. There was no furniture in the hall, because the pupils were supposed to be engaged in fencing here, and in the evenings - to play. (170 words)

About the life of the earth

If you are having a hard time, if sadness has taken possession of your heart, go to where, by the river, on a hill, stands the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl. Look at the noble proportions of the white temple, reflected in the waters for more than eight centuries, and you will see how the structure naturally fits into the surrounding landscape.

The one who, having seen the temple once, believes that he knows it, is mistaken. This poem of stone must be re-read many times to understand what is the beauty of this extraordinary building.

It is difficult to say when it is better to admire them. In the spring, when the Klyazma and the Nerl flood, soaking up the streams running from the forests, lakes, and the water floods the meadows. Birches, willows and oaks, resembling giant heroes, which are older than birches and probably remember how the Tatar horses trampled the Vladimir land and how the nomads' carts stood here, are reflected in the dark waves, reminiscent of thickly infused tea. At dawn, when the sun's rays play over the forests and from bursts of chiaroscuro, the ancient walls seem to oscillate, brightening from hour to hour. The cover must also be seen in the rain, when a huge cloud seems to stop to admire the temple.

The Temple as we know it is a lyric poem addressed to inner world person. (175 words)

Mother Nature

In nature, everything is beautiful: clouds floating across the sky, and a birch whispering with grass, and a harsh northern spruce, and a lichen that climbs up the slope of a rocky slope. But what can be compared with water in charm and charm? Wind-blown waves reflecting green and blue are living life. So I thought when I sailed on a simple wooden sailboat through pockmarked expanses Lake Onega. It beckoned with transparency and depth.

I remembered that in the old days water was considered a healing, cleansing power. When, during fortune-telling, the girls looked into the water in front of the mirror, hoping to see their betrothed there, it was a custom to ask the water for the future.

The lake changed colors. At first, when dawn was barely breaking, the water was cold and inhospitable. Then the color of the lake became tin. When the rays of the sun played on the sail, the water breathed freshness, oscillated, as if in a dance, became warm, inviting.

I sailed into the world of a Russian fairy tale - into the ancient Kizhi. Those who have not been there think that Kizhi is an island that is lost among the expanses of water. However, knowledgeable people say that there are almost two thousand islands on the lake. (166 words)

fields

Having flooded the stove in the dugout, Polya made tea and, as soon as it got dark, went to bed. The first half hour was somehow anxious and uncomfortable. It all seemed that someone was sneaking up to the dugout. The door is about to open and strangers come in. Then she lifted her head and listened. It turns out that it crunched the hay under her body. In the end, Polya convinced herself that the taiga was deserted in winter and nothing threatened her. All anxiety is from excitement and suspiciousness, and there is nothing to stuff your head with all sorts of trifles. She fell sound asleep, having slept without dreams all night long.

Taiga lay wrapped in snow, hushed, thoughtful. The day was brighter than yesterday. The sun peeked out several times, and then the tops of the trees with their white fluffy hats became golden and shone like burning candles. The notches on the trunks also became more visible, which Polya watched with both eyes so as not to go astray. (167 words)

rejuvenated

At eighteen, it is impossible to be settled, and one day you will suddenly feel an irresistible desire to get in touch with the unknown, the unknown.

How wonderful it is to climb up the trembling ship ladder to the festively lit deck in the evening and join the noisy crowd of passengers who say goodbye to the land and go to sea, into some new, amazing, incomparable life.

When the steamer hummed with a trumpet voice and the deck began to shudder from the work of the machines hidden in the hold, the dark water boiled near the sides, with orange oil stains, with light reflections, suddenly shuddered and, slowly turning around, began to move away from the coast with a dark crowd of mourners on the pier. The port lights floated, foggy, running farther and farther into the depths of the mainland, turning yellow there, in the distance, and the cheerful stars began to approach, others seemed to hang right on the yardarms, and they could, like a butterfly, be removed by hand.

And suddenly there was a breath of freedom, a salty coolness, and the Black Sea looked straight into my eyes.

I walked along the lower deck among the singing, screaming, dancing passengers, proud and sad, sitting motionless and snoring side by side right on the deck. I was one of them that night, an unknown grain of sand, setting out on a distant and unexplored voyage. (180 words)

Zimka

On the third day, the climb up the snowy plain became more visible and more cracks appeared, which slowed down the movement. I had to walk carefully, feeling the snow, so as not to fall through a thin layer of it that hides the cracks.

In the north, the clouds dispersed, dispersed by the wind, and between their gray patches mountains now appeared and disappeared, stretching in a long chain along the entire horizon. Rocky spurs were black against their snow-white background. The unsetting sun rolled over the very crest of the ridge, shining dimly through the veil of clouds and painting them in a reddish color. The snowy plain in the foreground was covered with spots and stripes reflected from the sky, bluish and pink. The general picture of the snowy desert and the mysterious ridge, which first appeared before the eyes of travelers, was amazing.

The ascent to this ridge continued for three days due to strong ice cracks. An ice stream, that is, a glacier that descended along the valley of the southern slope of the ridge, was up to a kilometer wide and bordered on both sides by steep dark slopes covered with snow. (148 words)

Varka

Noticing a light to the left of the field, which she had not seen before, Varka stopped. The light disappeared, then flared up again, and at first she thought that someone was walking in the meadow. Only when it burst into a high flame did she realize that a fire had been lit. Varka got out of the furrow and turned to the left. She walked, not bypassing the deep lowlands, holding on to the light of the fire. The oxbows furrowed the meadow in tangled loops, the water in them did not last long, only after the flood, and the rest of the time they stood dry, others only with viscous midges, around which grasses raged uncontrollably. Varka could tell them from a distance by their frog croaking. The lowlands were filled with mist, silvery in the moonlight. Varka entered him like water, first to the waist, and then completely with her head. The firmament of the earth suddenly ran away, almost sinking underfoot, the body was seized by a ravine chill, and Varka, with paused breathing, made her way through the thickets splashing with dew, hurrying to get out as quickly as possible. open space. Having got out, she looked around, wondering how she had passed through this ravine, so terrible under the gray surface of the fog. (156 words)

In the morning

In the morning, the lowlands were covered with fog. But now the sun appears from behind the horizon, and its rays eat up the gray veil of fog.

The sun rises higher and scatters its rays across the vast fields of yellow wheat to the tops of the distant forest.

At a distance of a kilometer from the forest, you notice the surface of the lake shining in the sun. A winding river flows into it. We are heading towards her.

Dense thickets of raspberries grow on the shore. You climb into it and with pleasure you eat fragrant berries.

The other side of the river is covered with reeds. A light breeze gently sways it. Dragonflies fly from stem to stem. A butterfly perched on a lily. Algae moves in the slow current of the river. Lie on your back, look up at the sky. In the boundless height of it, larks are flooded. You listen to their song and freeze with delight.

Rowan

Mountain ash is the beauty of our northern forests. Flaming with clusters of berries in the golden palette of the autumn forest, it evokes a quiet sadness of parting with the fine Indian summer sometimes. There is a good belief among the people: mountain ash brings happiness. Isn't that why there is a mountain ash in front of the windows of Russian houses? She is sung in the most sincere songs.

In our country, there are different types of mountain ash, and it lives in all zones.

Especially amazing rowan home, which grows in the Crimea. Its leaves are similar to the leaves of an ordinary mountain ash, while the fruits in shape and size are quite comparable with the fruits of a wild pear or apple tree. Ripening in October, they acquire a green color, and then turn brown. By sugar content, they approach the fruits of wild grapes. From the fruits of this mountain ash, you can cook jam, make kvass and marshmallow. They are also used as a medicine.

Birch

What a Russian, what a lovely birch tree! None of the trees contains so many national concepts, does not give rise to so many images and comparisons. Watching in the forest, I realized that the birch is truly a peasant tree; it has everything: a woman's cotton shawl, and a whitewashed hut, and a Russian stove, and a rug, and a linen shirt, and a ryaba hen, and even milk, which is drunk all over the earth. Peering into the birch forest, into its knotty trunks, one recalls the calloused, laboring peasant hands, deftly making any hard work. And young birch trees, thin, straight, as if on tiptoe rising to the blue spring dome of the sky, reminiscent of girlish beauty, slender and stately, with fair-haired braids, bright-eyed, delight the eye and I recall many, many Russian names, just as bright and pure ...

You look at a birch, and iridescent village songs, the sounds of an accordion, youth, childhood flash through your memory - and in your soul you lovingly embrace this tree as the closest and dearest to you.

True friend

Every time I met the steamer at the pier, Lyudmila Vasilievna, the wife of the captain. Once her husband, the captain of the steamer Sibirin, brought her a puppy, Ruslan. Puppy turned into a gorgeous strong dog, selflessly devoted to the mistress. The war began, and the ship did not return from the next voyage. Lyudmila Vasilievna, left completely alone, somehow weakened, turned into an old woman, lonely and helpless. Ruslan, a huge dog, striking with his mind, went to the market himself, took notes to his neighbors. The captain's wife, Ruslan's adored mistress, had nothing left: no food, no things, no money. Neighbours, good people brought her some food, but the dog was starving. Once Ruslan did not return home. He ran to the port for a long time looking at the sailors who were working on loading, then he grabbed the package and carried it into the hold, then the second, the third. The sailors who stopped working watched this. Ruslan worked all day and got a pot of thick borscht with sugar pits. A faithful friend, Ruslan slowly, trying not to spill, carried the bowler hat home and placed it in front of the hostess, who was dozing in an armchair. The sailors who followed the dog told her everything. Every day Ruslan ran to the port, and the sailors brought to the house of the old woman, the captain's widow, two bowlers: one for her, the other for Ruslan.

Ivan Fedorov - the pride of world culture

No, it’s not for nothing that this monument stands in Moscow on one of central avenues. Monument to the man who created the great miracle - the first Russian printed book. We honor his selfless work.

Typography is a particularly significant milestone in the history of world culture. Enlightenment, science, the treasures of thought with this acquired a special power, went out into the expanse that was unthinkable while the book remained handwritten. Great were the merits of the workers - manuscripts, they left us the highest examples of the art of the book as a legacy.

Printing has opened other horizons, other possibilities, other perspectives.

Already four centuries ago, the name of Ivan Fedorov was rightfully glorified as the name of the Russian first printer. He considered the purpose of his life "to sow spiritual seeds." These seeds have given excellent results. We are also reaping their fruits, gratefully remembering the initiator of the great deed.

crimson mountains

Crimson mountains - one of the best corners of the Northern Urals. They do not differ in particular height, but this does not prevent them from being the center of a huge mountain knot. The ancient Bashkir name of these mountains was somehow lost, and they got their current name due to the fact that raspberries grow in abundance along the ridges. And such raspberries cannot be compared with forest raspberries, but ripening in the sun, this mountain raspberry acquires a special taste.

Raspberry Mountain offers a one-of-a-kind view. Some mountain lakes can only be counted up to a hundred, and this gives the picture a very special character, as if some underground sea is covered by mountains. These lakes go far into the blessed Bashkir steppe. They differ in depth, beautifully torn coastline, a mass of islands, clear water and, finally, by the fact that all of them are interconnected by channels, making up one huge reservoir, from which the rivers flowing into the steppe take water.

In general, the chain of mountain lakes is the main beauty of the eastern slope of the Urals, being at the same time an inexhaustible supply of manpower.

Squeaky floorboards

The house is dry with age. He stood in the meadow pine forest, and from the pines all summer long it was hot.

Tchaikovsky liked this wooden house. The rooms smelled faintly of turpentine and white carnations, which bloomed in abundance in front of the porch. Disheveled, dried up, they resembled tufts of fluff stuck to the stems.

The only thing that annoyed the composer was the creaky floorboards. To get from the door to the piano, one had to step over five rickety floorboards. From the outside, it must have looked funny when the elderly composer made his way to the piano, peering at the floorboards with narrowed eyes.

Sometimes at night, waking up, Tchaikovsky heard how, crackling, one or another floorboard would sing. It was like an orchestra before an overture, when the musicians tuned the instruments. Either in the attic, or in the small hall, or in the glazed hallway, someone was touching the strings. Tchaikovsky caught the melody through a dream, but when he woke up in the morning, he forgot it. He strained his memory and sighed. What a pity that the night chirp wooden house can't lose now! To play a simple song of a dried-up tree, window panes with crumbled putty, a wind that tapped a branch on the roof.

But someday he will embody all this in his music.

gurgling

If fate ever makes you happy, and in the summer you go down to the swamp, and then cross a narrow river overgrown with sedge and water lilies with the tender name Konoplyanochka, then at the edge of a small forest you will hear a restless melodic murmur.

It is always different: in the morning dawn, under the quilted fog, the sounds are quieter, softer, more meek than on a sunny hot day, when the water diluted with heavenly blueness becomes azure, more transparent, it seems louder. The wind rushes over the forest - the stream subsides, hides. And when the water surface is touched by trickles of rain, the brook music cannot be described, it is so beautiful in the autumn bad weather. When the trees drop the gold of their leaves on the water, the murmur of sad melodies of parting with summer and cheerful chants of magical necessity are heard. winter holiday before the riot of the coming spring.

A brook murmurs to the delight of everyone. And maybe that's why he has such a beautiful name - Zhurcheyok.

Morning in the steppe

Early spring mornings are cool and dewy. Not a cloud in the sky. Only in the east are the predawn clouds still crowding, turning pale and melting every minute. There now the sun will emerge in a fiery glow. The whole boundless expanse of the steppe seems to be showered with fine golden dust. In the dense lush grass here and there trembling, shimmering and flashing with multi-colored lights, diamonds of large dew. The steppe is cheerfully full of flowers. Gorse turns bright yellow, bluebells modestly turn blue, fragrant chamomile turns white with whole thickets, wild carnation burns with crimson spots. The bitter, healthy smell of wormwood mixed with the gentle, almond-like aroma of dodder is diffused in the morning coolness. Everything shines, basks and joyfully reaches for the sun. Only in some places, in deep and narrow beams, between steep cliffs, overgrown with sparse shrubs, there still lies, as if reminding of the bygone night, wet bluish shadows. High in the air, invisible to the eye, larks tremble and ring. The restless grasshoppers have long ago raised their hasty, dry chatter. The steppe woke up and came to life. She seems to be breathing deep, even and powerful breaths.

Vigilance

If nature could feel gratitude to a person for penetrating into her life and sang it, then this gratitude would fall to the lot of Mikhail Prishvin.

After carefully reading everything written by Prishvin, you are convinced that he managed to tell us a hundredth part of what he perfectly saw and knew.

He could write a whole poem about every autumn leaf that falls from a tree, about a blade of grass and a worm, about dew and a bug. Prishvin was a traveler, hunter, naturalist. Not a single detail escaped his gaze. The secret of Prishvin's charm is vigilance. He saw: in every little thing there is something interesting. The writer wanted to show this to the reader.

Prishvin's language could have been formed only in the close communication of a Russian person with nature, in labor.

Bluebells, modest daisies, buttercups, and other cheerful and modest flowers are the herbs of Russia.

Prishvin's prose can be called a herb of literature.(131 words)

Autumn

This year the rains started very early. It seemed like summer never happened. Light was lacking even in the fields, and in the morning and at noon it was equally overcast. The leaves on the trees have not fallen off. Where are the golden groves? Where are the lacy cobwebs in the sloping meadows?

But then it was a sunny day. Then another, third. Silence came, the sun warmed gently, the earth dried up. These are probably the best days of autumn. Foliage swirled in the air, flying around from aspens and birches. The forest has become more transparent. The bushes have shaken off their summer clothes. Even the oaks are starting to become bare. Finally, the cranes chirped as they flew through the sky. There were still bird triangles over the fields. It became quiet and warm, now they would live and live, but they fly away. Fly, don't get lost!

The sky became pale and distant. The colors of autumn quietly covered the ground.(120 words)

In Pushkin places
Once, on the way back from Petrovsky to Mikhailovskoye, I got lost in the forest ravines. Streams muttered under the roots, small lakes shone at the bottom of the ravine. The sun was setting.

From one of the forest clearings I saw a high, multicolored thunderstorm. One rose above Mikhailovsky, grew over the evening sky, like a huge medieval city surrounded by white towers. A deaf cannon thunder came from her, and the wind suddenly rustled in the clearing and died down in the thickets.

It was hard to imagine that along these simple roads with traces of bast shoes, over anthills and knotted roots, Pushkin's riding horse was walking and easily carrying his silent rider.

I remember forests, lakes, parks and the sky. This is almost the only thing that has survived here from Pushkin's times. The local nature is not touched by anyone. She is very well protected. When it was necessary to conduct electricity to the reserve, they decided to run the wires underground so as not to put up poles. The pillars would immediately destroy the Pushkinian charm of these deserted places. (154 words)
According to K. Paustovsky

Minibuses from the "House of Soviets" on Moscow Square(342, 287, 347a and others), Moskovskaya metro station. Travel time is about 30 minutes.

Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin) history

Tsarskoye Selo is a museum-reserve, which is an outstanding example of not only world architecture, but also landscape art. This is a creation of the most outstanding architects, sculptors and artists who worked in the period from the 18th to the 20th century and made the most daring wishes and plans of the royal court come true.

The history of Tsarskoye Selo begins in 1710-1720. It was during this period that the construction of the country residence of the Russian tsars began, and a settlement appeared in which the servants lived. royal family, which was first named Sarskaya manor, and then was renamed Tsarskoye Selo.

In the period of the 18th and 19th centuries of the last millennium, the territory of the modern reserve was considered the grand residence of the imperial family. And in the period from 1811 to 1843, the Tsarskoye Selo Imperial Lyceum was founded on the territory of Tsarskoye Selo, one of the world-famous pupils, of which A.S. Pushkin.

Already during the reign of Soviet power, the palace and park complex Tsarskoe Selo was given the status of a museum. And the houses of the tsarist servants and other buildings were converted into educational and recreational complexes.

In 1937, on the day of the 100th anniversary of the death of the great poet A.S. Pushkin, the city, which was located near the territory of the palace and park complex, was renamed Pushkin. Prior to that, since 1918 it was called Children's Village.

During the Great Patriotic War the city of Pushkin, as well as the territory of the reserve, did not pass the fate of the occupation. The territory was occupied by the Germans for two years. During this time, the entire lining of the legendary Amber Room was removed from the country, the search for which has not been completed to this day. In the post-war period, the palace and park complex was gradually restored from ruins. Today, the protected area of Tsarskoye Selo is a national treasure, which is visited every day by tens of thousands of tourists from all over the world.

A distinctive feature of this period are numerous entertainment pavilions, which are located in all corners of the park. The fountain called "Girl with a Jug" (1816), sculpted by P. Sokolov, is known all over the world. But closer to the 19th century, pavilions in Roman and Chinese styles began to complement the park.

Alexander Park is located on the territory with a total area of 188 sq. It is conditionally divided into two parks - new garden and landscape park. The new garden was designed by Girard, and the garden work on its creation was supervised by such masters of garden craftsmanship as Schroeder and Kondakov. But the landscape park was founded on the site of a forest, which contained animals for the royal hunt. The design of this park is made in accordance with all the traditions of English parks. The project of the landscape park was created by Menelas and Ivanov. Throughout this part of the Alexander Park, there are decorative buildings made in the style of medieval Gothic.
