[00:23:39] me, artist,
[00:23:42] tomorrow at 9:30 PM on
[00:23:45] Russia channel, already on Sunday at
[00:23:48] 10 PM, watch,
[00:24:50] he wasn't really a heartbreaker at all, as memoirists
[00:24:53] recalled, I will quote, Davydov was
[00:24:57] not handsome, but an intelligent, lively face, expressive
[00:25:00] eyes attracted attention to his side, he was of
[00:25:04] medium height, but solidly built, finally, as if
[00:25:07] chained to the saddle, dark-haired, on one
[00:25:10] side of his forehead he had a tuft of white hair, in conversation
[00:25:14] he was amiable, witty, always
[00:25:17] cheerful, a great love will come
[00:25:20] to Davydov after his return from the foreign campaign
[00:25:23] of 1814, he finally
[00:25:27] gets rid of his father's debt inheritance, he
[00:25:31] is forgiven the debt to the treasury by Alexander I, and he is a young
[00:25:34] general, and one can think about
[00:25:37] marriage, here is the daughter of a fellow general, also a general in
[00:25:41] Kiev, a Pole, fickle,
[00:25:44] she is 16, he is 30, he proposes, she agrees, They
[00:25:48] are engaged,
[00:25:52] the bride's family
[00:25:55] still asks for the financial
[00:25:59] situation to be more stable, on salary.
[00:26:36] to the treasury, but it is allocated to you for a time, for 10 years,
[00:26:40] for 5, for the rest of your life, depending on how
[00:26:43] you behave, and the income from this estate goes to
[00:26:46] you, a good addition to your salary, one might say, a wedding
[00:26:50] gift is written out to him by Alexander I. Davydov
[00:26:53] returns to Kiev, on the wings of happiness, and during
[00:26:57] this time the fickle Polish woman lost her head over
[00:27:01] the young Prince Galitsin and
[00:27:05] refused to marry, as it seemed to her, an elderly
[00:27:09] general, because the prince was young,
[00:27:12] handsome, tall, immensely
[00:27:15] rich, plus she really wanted to go to Paris, where the prince
[00:27:19] invited her, and absolutely did not want to wander around garrisons,
[00:27:23] together with her soldier, this
[00:27:25] Davydov, and Davydov had already arranged
[00:27:29] the wedding, as they would say now, hired
[00:27:32] a wedding agency, already invited everyone,
[00:27:36] like that, he was very upset, in fact,
[00:27:40] this story in a somewhat softened form
[00:27:42] is shown in the center of the plot of the film "Squadron of Flying
[00:27:46] Hussars", very sad poems, which perfectly
[00:27:49] fit the beautiful music of Alexander
[00:27:52] Zhurbin.
[00:27:57] The struggle of my
[00:28:00] passions has passed.
[00:28:03] The illness of my
[00:28:04] rebellious soul
[00:28:08] and the phantom of ardent nights,
[00:28:11] irresistible,
[00:28:14] inevitable,
[00:28:18] and the phantom of ardent nights,
[00:28:22] irresistible,
[00:28:24] inevitable,
[00:28:28] all the anxieties of sweet
[00:28:30] days,
[00:28:33] and the inarticulate babble
[00:28:35] of the tongue, and the convulsive
[00:28:39] trembling of the heart,
[00:28:42] death and life at the meeting with
[00:28:45] her,
[00:28:48] everything vanished, desired
[00:28:50] peace,
[00:28:53] sits at the
[00:28:54] head of the bed,
[00:28:58] but blood still drips from
[00:29:00] the wound. and the tired
[00:29:04] chest aches, several
[00:29:08] years passed, finally Davydov is already 35,
[00:29:11] his sister introduced him to a certain Sophia
[00:29:14] Cherkova, also a general's daughter, a bride of
[00:29:18] 24 years old, but then
[00:29:20] the wedding almost didn't happen, because at the last moment
[00:29:24] the future mother-in-law became interested
[00:29:27] in his work, someone brought her early hussar
[00:29:30] poems, not one of which I read
[00:29:33] to you,
[00:29:36] there are all the hussar virtues, but she decided that he
[00:29:39] was a drunkard, a debauchee, and
[00:29:42] a gambler, so Davydov's poetic fame,
[00:29:45] the poetic image he created, ceased to be distinguished
[00:29:49] from the real person in society, well, that's how it
[00:29:52] often happens, only after a personal acquaintance and
[00:29:55] quite serious conversations and communication, she finally
[00:29:58] calmed down and changed her
[00:30:01] mind. He married by acquaintance, one might say, by
[00:30:04] calculation, and as I like to say, can a marriage of convenience
[00:30:08] turn out to be happy? Yes,
[00:30:12] if the calculation was correct, their marriage was happy, lines from
[00:30:16] a letter to a friend, what can I tell you about myself, I am
[00:30:19] happy, I love my wife more and more every
[00:30:22] day, so they had nine
[00:30:25] children, everything was fine, and he bought a house, it has
[00:30:28] been preserved, a house on Bolshoy Znamensky Lane,
[00:31:15] then he apparently figured it out, the family grew, children,
[00:31:18] and like any person who had wandered a lot through garrison
[00:31:21] apartments, Davydov wanted a big,
[00:31:24] real, worthy general's house, in the end
[00:31:28] he acquired a truly very beautiful
[00:31:32] and very worthy house in the center, a small
[00:31:35] palace, go there, they won't let you in, I
[00:31:38] think it was the headquarters of AFK Sistema, I don't know what's
[00:31:42] there now on Prechistenka, but you'll see it on maps.
[00:31:46] as you can see in the description, this is the last in Moscow, truly
[00:31:49] a real house, the estate of Denis
[00:31:53] Davydov, by the way, in Soviet textbooks, in books it was written that
[00:31:56] Davydov was a friend of the Decembrists, all
[00:31:59] Decembrists were his friends, and generally he himself, not only from
[00:32:02] the people, a Pugachev rebel,
[00:32:04] a revolutionary, this is of course a terrible exaggeration, there was nothing
[00:32:08] of the sort, Davydov had no
[00:32:11] political views, his only ideology was simple,
[00:32:15] service to the fatherland, the sovereign,
[00:32:18] patriotism, yes, he had many relatives, and there were
[00:32:22] Davydovs who were Decembrists, his cousin Vasily,
[00:32:25] received a sentence of the first degree of beheading,
[00:32:29] then it was commuted to 20 years of hard labor, Davydov was not even
[00:32:33] brought to trial in the Decembrist case, no one denounced
[00:32:36] him, and he denounced no one, it never occurred to anyone
[00:32:40] that Denis Davydov could have anything against the Emperor,
[00:32:43] yes, he...
[00:32:48] was a freedom-loving guy, valued personal freedom above all else, as can be seen from his combat path, he tried to do what he wanted, but within
[00:32:52] the bounds of duty and oath, when Nicholas I ascended the throne, Davydov even
[00:32:55] rejoiced, decided to return to active service again,
[00:32:59] writes, quote, the tsar is young
[00:33:03] and a fine fellow, and if there's
[00:33:06] any kind of war, we will
[00:33:09] work faithfully and truly,
[00:33:12] it came true, not even a few
[00:33:15] months after the Decembrist uprising, Nicholas I
[00:33:19] invited him to a personal audience and
[00:33:22] sent him to fight, this time with the Persians, this was the Russo-Persian
[00:33:26] War under the direct command of Davydov's
[00:33:29] cousin, the viceroy of the Caucasus Yermolov, there Davydov
[00:33:32] commanded a large detachment of 6,000 people, this is an entire
[00:33:36] division, he reached Yerevan, then
[00:33:38] Iravan, fell ill there with some very severe
[00:33:41] fever, was treated, well, in the end
[00:33:45] he was not young, he did return to Moscow by the end of the war,
[00:33:49] but then again, and another war, where he will go, is the war
[00:33:53] with Poland, more precisely, the so-called Polish uprising,
[00:33:55] 1831, we still
[00:33:59] called it, until the last history
[00:34:00] textbook, called it
[00:34:03] an uprising, because an uprising should be against some
[00:34:07] oppression, who oppressed the Poles in
[00:34:11] 1830, this is nonsense, the Poles had their own army,
[00:34:15] constitution, their own budget, a Ministry
[00:34:18] of Finance, their own currency, a customs border between
[00:34:22] Poland and the rest of Russia, and so on and so
[00:34:26] forth, and the army was completely composed of former
[00:34:28] Napoleonic officers and generals, all
[00:34:32] pardoned, continuing to serve already within the Polish
[00:34:34] army, united
[00:34:37] only by the figure of the Emperor with
[00:34:41] Russia, the Kingdom of Poland. made a lot of noise, it was
[00:36:15] passed from mouth to mouth, it sounds like this:
[00:36:18] Poles and Russians, do not enter
[00:36:22] into battle, we will tra-la-la-la you
[00:36:24] in Lithuania.
[00:36:28] and then to Kamchatka,
[00:36:30] guess what,
[00:36:33] at the head of our army, Davydov's childhood friend
[00:36:36] Dibich, Davydov
[00:36:39] commands a corps of four regiments. By this time, he is already an absolute
[00:36:43] celebrity. Here's what he wrote about his arrival in the active army:
[00:36:46] "It's amazing and incomprehensible the impression made by my
[00:36:50] appearance. Is it really because of a few rowdy
[00:36:53] verses written at smoky bivouacs,
[00:36:57] to you pedants full of grammatical errors? My arrival
[00:37:01] was a truly triumphal procession. There was no officer,
[00:37:04] familiar or unfamiliar, old or young, there was no
[00:37:07] soldier, non-commissioned officer, who, upon learning that it was
[00:37:10] me, would not run to meet me, and having caught up with me,
[00:37:14] would not surround me in crowds, like some unseen
[00:37:18] miracle." In general, not only officers knew the poet
[00:37:21] Davydov, the renowned partisan, but the Poles
[00:37:24] knew and understood who they were dealing with. They wrote
[00:37:28] instructions, spread all sorts of horrors, Polish
[00:37:32] newspapers wrote, "Partisan Davidka," as they somehow
[00:37:35] called him, "is coming for us, he burns and
[00:37:39] chops without mercy. Be
[00:37:42] vigilant, soon we will catch and hang him." Well, as for
[00:37:46] hanging, it didn't quite work out. Davydov, in fact, behaved with
[00:37:49] the rebels much the same way he was used to behaving with
[00:37:53] the French, marauders, and rapists,
[00:37:55] in a partisan manner.
[00:37:58] And even in St. Petersburg, there was a joke about
[00:38:01] the Emperor learning from foreign
[00:38:04] newspapers that Davydov, against his
[00:38:07] will, was arbitrarily hanging Poles. The fact is, there was a ban on executing rebels
[00:38:11] on the spot; they had to be sent somewhere in
[00:38:15] the rear for investigation. Then they were naturally pardoned; "we are
[00:38:18] humane, we are not like that." Davydov was ordered
[00:38:22] to send all prisoners to Russia. A little later, someone
[00:38:25] reports to him about the capture of someone...
[00:38:28] Davydov immediately orders him to be hanged. They
[00:38:31] remind him that there was a recent ban on
[00:38:34] hanging. To which Davydov replies, "No
[00:38:37] problem, just make it retroactive
[00:38:40] and hang him."
[00:38:43] In general, for this war, Davydov became a lieutenant general, received the Order of
[00:38:46] St. Vladimir Second Class, a very high imperial order. The Order of St. Vladimir
[00:38:50] is a complete analogue, even externally, of today's
[00:38:53] Orders of Merit for the Fatherland. These orders were awarded then
[00:38:56] and are awarded now.
[00:39:58] about little bugs, about little bugs - liberals. It's long, I'll just
[00:40:01] read snippets from it: "There was an age
[00:40:04] of heroes, times have passed. And now
[00:40:08] sabers have mixed and out of
[00:40:11] cracks crawled midges
[00:40:14] and bugs. Every mama's
[00:40:17] boy, every plunderer, a fool for fashionable
[00:40:21] nonsense, plays the liberal. The conspiring
[00:40:25] flea with the Jacobin fly."
[00:40:39] They understood perfectly who was hiding behind each
[00:40:42] midge and bug; some he simply names,
[00:40:46] some by their nicknames in society, or by special
[00:40:49] signs. "And the mosquito, a student, lame with a
[00:40:53] coachman's hairstyle." Everyone understood who it was,
[00:40:56] the cricket.
[00:41:13] He thus defines and hums full of thunder, not
[00:41:16] overthrowing the kingdom, and the whole world is demarcated,
[00:41:20] without war or fight, and Russia no longer exists, in
[00:41:23] Moscow the Poles. This is all about declaring war.
[00:41:40] itches, and the place where they don't even
[00:41:43] scratch. When during sleep a moth or
[00:41:47] cockroach crawls into her nose, she
[00:41:50] sneezes, and out
[00:41:52] goes the bug.
[00:41:55] Just like that. Well, in general, Davydov moves to
[00:41:58] a village, not far from Simbirsk, into the wilderness.
[00:42:02] He writes poems, memoirs about his
[00:42:05] military campaigns, corresponds with Pushkin, with
[00:42:09] Zhukovsky. In general, with the entire literary elite of that
[00:42:11] time. Now publishers chase after his
[00:42:14] poems. He is a fashionable author. From a letter to
[00:42:18] Vyazemsky: "My dear Vyazemsky, I was again
[00:42:22] tempted by money. I absolutely did not want to hand over my
[00:42:26] poems for defilement, but they are offering such a good
[00:42:28] sum." Well, and he behaves like a real
[00:42:32] landlord, hunting, a distillery
[00:42:35] factory, a fish pond. Quotes: "I am
[00:42:39] here..." This is his wife's estate. "I am here like a cheese in
[00:42:43] butter. Judge for yourself: a wife and half a dozen
[00:42:46] children. Neighbors, quite
[00:42:49] distant. There's an Estonian proverb about neighbors: a good
[00:42:53] neighbor, a high
[00:42:54] fence. Neighbors quite
[00:42:58] distant, literary pursuits, hound hunting
[00:43:01] and falconry. I have no other breakfast than
[00:43:05] woodcocks drenched in fat. I pickle and
[00:43:09] dry these woodcocks. And God knows what I do with them. Then
[00:43:12] fresh sturgeon, sterlet. Then horrible
[00:43:16] quails, with their size and fat, which I myself
[00:43:20] hunt with falcons, up to twenty in an hour.
[00:43:23] There is also another hunt, that is the pursuit of
[00:43:27] robbers. These robbers here are so impudent that they are not
[00:43:30] content with highway robberies, but storm noblemen's houses. There were some
[00:43:34] bandits there, apparently. I,
[00:43:38] by old partisan habit,
[00:43:41] chase after them, although, frankly, they and
[00:43:44] my mice somehow don't rob me, apparently, according to the proverb, 'a raven won't
[00:43:48] peck out a raven's eye.' We don't know if Davydov ever caught a single
[00:43:52] robber, I think they hid and
[00:43:55] scattered, knowing that he had gone hunting for them. Well, in general,
[00:43:59] he lived for his pleasure,
[00:44:01] the dream of a veteran
[00:44:04] poet. His last public act was organizing
[00:44:08] the funeral of his...
[00:44:18] struggled agonizingly for his life, was dying, and eventually died in the
[00:44:21] Vladimir region, where he was buried. And
[00:44:25] veterans long lobbied for the transfer of the body
[00:44:29] of their beloved commander directly to the Borodino field, where he
[00:44:32] died. Davydov became the driving force of this veteran
[00:44:36] initiative. Nicholas I agreed with Davydov and even
[00:44:40] appointed him head of the funeral
[00:44:42] ceremony. This, by the way, is very important, when in any matter there is a person
[00:44:46] who pushes it through. I have already
[00:44:49] told, I will repeat again, if you have seen the monument
[00:44:52] near Rzhev, the Rzhev memorial, it also had one general, who
[00:44:56] is, thank God, who was the driving force of this whole
[00:45:00] project, this is General Grigory Rapota, who
[00:45:03] carried this idea, and finally gathered a team that organized
[00:45:07] all this, General of intelligence.
[00:45:10] His father was a front-line officer, I think,
[00:45:13] a pilot, who just fought near Rzhev, was near
[00:45:16] Rzhev, severely wounded, met his future
[00:45:20] wife there, in general, Grigory
[00:45:23] Alekseevich Rapota was born as a result
[00:45:27] of this Rzhev story, and you won't believe it, but his
[00:45:30] father even lived to see the opening of the
[00:45:33] Rzhev memorial a few years
[00:45:35] ago.
[00:45:39] Yes. So also Davydov, but
[00:45:42] Davydov did not live to see the reburial of Bagration,
[00:45:45] he died unexpectedly at the age of 54, suddenly.
[00:45:49] And the poems he wrote in his
[00:45:52] village in his last years
[00:45:56] actually entered the golden fund of Russian poetry,
[00:45:59] especially the golden fund of Russian love
[00:46:01] lyrics.
[00:46:06] Like a lonely song in a foreign land.
[00:46:11] To an exile from his native land,
[00:46:30] like a lonely song in a foreign
[00:46:33] land,
[00:46:35] to an exile from his native land.
[00:46:43] Do not resurrect, do
[00:46:45] not resurrect,
[00:46:50] me who has forgotten.
[00:46:52] Give me
[00:46:56] rest from the anxieties of passion,
[00:46:58] and do not irritate
[00:47:01] open wounds.
[00:47:04] Give me
[00:47:08] rest from the anxieties of passion
[00:47:10] and open
[00:47:13] wounds, do not
[00:47:16] irritate.
[00:47:20] Or no, tear off the... Let the blood
[00:47:23] flow,
[00:47:26] it's easier for me to endure a passionate
[00:47:28] grief,
[00:47:32] than a false
[00:47:34] coldness,
[00:47:37] than my deceptive peace.
[00:47:57] than a false
[00:47:58] coldness,
[00:48:02] than my deceptive
[00:48:06] peace.
[00:48:10] Davydov has a happy posthumous memory; he was
[00:48:14] a hero in Imperial Russia, remained
[00:48:17] a hero in Soviet Russia, and is still
[00:48:20] a hero. Who has not dedicated something to him?
[00:48:30] In War and Peace, there is Vasily Denisov,
[00:48:34] a hero. The play Hussar Ballad and Eldar
[00:48:37] Ryazanov's film, the main character played by
[00:48:41] Yakovlev, Lieutenant Rzhevsky, by the
[00:48:44] way, serves in the Akhtyrka Hussar
[00:48:47] Regiment. Well, and countless streets named after him
[00:48:50] and at Kutuzov's monument, you will find Denis
[00:48:53] Davydov at the pedestal. And there was a passenger ship in the Soviet
[00:48:57] Union, and there is an Aeroflot plane named Denis
[00:49:00] Davydov. And of course, the wonderful film "Squadron
[00:49:03] of Flying Hussars" with Andrei Rostotsky is directly
[00:49:06] dedicated to the memory of Denis Davydov. I called this
[00:49:10] story "Denis Davydov and His Time" because I really love this
[00:49:14] time. This is truly the age
[00:49:17] of heroes, or as Mikhail Yuryevich would say
[00:49:21] a little later.
[00:49:30] standing by the walls of Paris, he was looking at it through a spyglass,
[00:49:33] when the delegation
[00:49:37] offered him to show peacefulness, to make a gesture
[00:49:41] of goodwill, to start negotiations, because it is the cultural capital of Europe, you
[00:49:45] won't allow yourself. He said:
[00:49:47] "Yes, yes, of course, of course, yes, yes, if by
[00:49:51] tomorrow." At dawn if you don't
[00:49:53] capitulate,
[00:49:56] then I promise you only one thing: that by tomorrow
[00:49:59] evening, pointing to the deployed artillery
[00:50:03] batteries, you will not recognize the place
[00:50:07] where there was once the
[00:50:10] cultural capital of Europe." They
[00:50:12] capitulated. And he spoke like that because he knew that behind
[00:50:16] him stood phalanxes of Russian
[00:50:20] soldiers, veterans,
[00:50:23] who had been through all the Turkish wars,
[00:50:26] anti-Napoleonic wars,
[00:50:28] Swedish wars, who had been through all of Europe,
[00:50:32] led by those born
[00:50:34] officers, who from 17 years old were in the saddle,
[00:50:38] of the unbending Suvorov school,
[00:50:42] who did not need an order
[00:50:44] to take the city of Grodno with a single flying detachment
[00:50:48] out of fright, or to capture the capital of Saxony.
[00:51:04] This was a time when one could be simultaneously infinitely internally free, daring, proactive, and at the same time loyal to the throne and oath, and this
[00:51:07] was combined, when one could be a true workhorse,
[00:51:11] a born warrior, not fearing fire or death, and at the same
[00:51:15] time combine this with
[00:51:18] creativity, to be
[00:51:20] a talented,
[00:51:22] bright, open-minded poet. One could be
[00:51:26] like our
[00:51:29] hero, Denis
[00:58:38] takes your breath away. Combat alert, a big
[00:58:42] white ship, NATO naval bases,
[00:58:45] a civilian truck. Vladimirovich, there are
[00:58:48] results that can be announced. A launch
[00:58:51] is being made. Here is the coal. Here are other
[00:58:54] tasks. Together, we analyze
[00:58:57] the main thing, in
[00:58:58] detail.
