Winged expressions from the comedy "Woe from Wit" by Griboyedov. Famous sayings from the comedy "Woe from Wit" by A.S.

“And the smoke of the Fatherland is sweet and pleasant for us!” - a selection of quotes, aphorisms and popular expressions from the comedy in verse by Alexander Griboyedov "Woe from Wit".

"Woe from Wit" Alexandra Griboyedova is an outstanding work of Russian literature, which literally immediately after its creation was disassembled into quotations. The most apt expressions have become winged and are used as sayings and aphorisms. We use them daily, hear them from TV screens and do not always remember that the author of these popular expressions is the poet Alexander Griboedov. We assume that by the number of aphorisms and sayings that “came out” of literary work, "Woe from Wit" is the absolute champion of not only Russian, but also world literature. And this despite the fact that “Woe from Wit” is a very small work in terms of volume. So, the word to Alexander Griboyedov:

Where there is a corner for the offended feeling! ..

Carriage for me, carriage!” (Chatsky, phenomenon 14)

Our "laziness and lack of curiosity" affected here as well. What if another Russian genius was born on January 15, 1795? Does he celebrate modern Russia, who still knows almost nothing about either his origin or the circumstances of his biography and work. It is no coincidence that when a besotted TV viewer was asked to choose "The Name of Russia", Griboedov was called a child prodigy, an author of waltzes, who was killed in Tehran during an uprising. What kind of legends did not give rise to his name.

But few people know that his ancestor Jan Grzhibovsky moved from Poland to Russia in the 17th century, giving rise to the Russian Griboedov family. His maiden mother had the same surname as her father. And the writer himself hid, but did not deny, that he was the great-nephew of Alexander Radishchev. Brilliantly gifted, who knew many languages since childhood, who early became a candidate of verbal sciences, but continued his studies at the moral-political and physical-mathematical departments of Moscow University, at the beginning of the war of 1812, Griboyedov was already a young cornet. A talented musician and author of waltzes, author of brilliant comedies and vaudevilles, many disappeared poems and poems ... and, of course, a duelist (a hand shot during a quadruple duel helped to identify his body disfigured by Muslim fanatics in Tehran) - this is a small part of what is known about the author immortal comedy.

However, even academicians find it difficult to understand the personality and fate of a genius whose friends were both Pyotr Chaadaev and Faddey Bulgarin, who combined Polish blood and a Georgian wife in his fate. In his immortal comedy, Griboyedov combined another unprecedented property: reflections of tragedy are heard in it, its main character- a brilliant intellectual, a homesick exile, a romantic in love, in whose "pigeon liver" - like Hamlet - lives bile and bitterness, and his mind is shaken by causticity and anger.

We can hear more and more clearly in the nervous bells of the carriage, carrying Chatsky, first swiftly to Moscow, and then - even more rapidly - out of it, not only the painful thoughts of the "madman" Chaadaev, but also the groans of the "superfluous" Russian intellectuals from Pushkin to Lermontov, from Onegin to Pechorin. In the virtuosic comic positions and characters of the most classic of Russian comedies, we are all the more aware of the "smoke of the Fatherland", where "it is impossible to live with intelligence and talent." The eternal Russian break of two, connected by feeling and childhood, but not able to hear this unity: it was precisely understood by Georgy Tovstonogov, in whose performance Sofya-Doronina sobbed in the finale on the chest of Chatsky-Yursky. There is another Russian comedy" The Cherry Orchard", marked by tragic reflections to the ominous music of the ball. I will not even remind about the "Comedy about the real trouble of the Moscow state" ("Boris Godunov").

Apollon Grigoriev saw in "Woe from Wit" a comedy about rudeness. Or a comedy about slavery, servility, easily trampling on the impulses of a free mind. But was Pushkin right when he saw the main mistake of the play in that Chatsky is a "fool" throwing pearls in front of pigs? Perhaps, for Griboedov, this is an occasion for bitter (tragic) laughter at the inability of these two worlds to hear each other.

This inability came to Russia as a bloody and tragic "side". Spilled in the rivers of "red" and "white" blood, in the eternal "horrors of the civil war" blowing over the epic steppe. It seems that not only the play, but the very fate of Griboedov lay like an ominous stroke over the fate of our Fatherland.

Sad and dreary is this eternal Russian text. It is not just bilious notes of an insulted and sharp mind. There is a strange pain in him of orphanhood, restlessness, exorbitant and senseless pride, responding with foolishness and eccentric bravado. In it Moscow is yesterday, today and metaphysical, frozen between the old and the new, between the West and the East, between tyranny and the liberal idea. It tells the story of a boy who left home in search of freedom, but returned in search of lost love and found neither one nor the other. So Rimas Tuminas, in the performance of the Sovremennik Theater, discovered this Griboedov masterpiece, and at the same time the Moscow he described - through his personal experience of a Russian lost in Lithuania and a Lithuanian who had become attached to Moscow stoves.

But, it seems, the tragic death of Vazir-Mukhtar in Tehran has fallen on our days with the bloodiest reflection. This is truly a hero of OUR time, who has earned himself the laurels of a martyr. Torn apart by a crowd of fundamentalists, it seems that he was clearly aware of his historical mission - to resist any fundamentalism. It was his coffin, traveling along the road to Tiflis, that Pushkin mourned and, together with tears, wrote his bitter, burning and still largely unread thoughts "Journey to Arzrum".

And in Moscow to this day there is no Griboyedov Museum.

"Woe from Wit" appeared before Onegin, Pechorin, survived them, passed unscathed through the Gogol period, lived these half a century from the time of its appearance and everything lives its imperishable life, will survive many more epochs and everything will not lose its vitality.

Ivan Goncharov

Fighter and diplomat

He was a genius not only in literature. Who can compare with the great Alexander Sergeevich in diplomacy? The ambassadorial rank in Persia, which is extremely important for Russia, speaks of the universal recognition of his merits in this area as well.

Griboyedov is not one of those envoys who obligingly bowed before the almighty Shah. He resolutely and firmly pursued the Russian line. His succinctly formulated credo: "Respect for Russia and its demands - that's what I need."

Persia, always unpredictable, having everything own opinion, unwilling to put up with Russian domination, our country won the Second Russian-Persian War. And in February 1828, the Turkmanchay Treaty, written with the active participation of Griboedov, came into force, enriching Russia with Shah's millions given in gold.

Persia grumbled, and, choosing a pretext, on January 30, 1829, hundreds of fanatics attacked the embassy. I happened to see the place where Griboyedov and a handful of his diplomats fought the fanatics. We were taken there with a group of comrades who worked in Iran. Griboyedov met death with a weapon in his hands. He shot, hacked to death either 8 or 9 attackers with a saber. The poet, writer, diplomat and duellist was a master of weapons. In hand-to-hand combat, he fought in cold blood, evil and, despite being mutilated during an old duel left hand, fought off all the pressing crowd. His mutilated, desecrated, torn body was dragged through the streets of Tehran.

Griboyedov was remembered in 1921, when they concluded the Soviet-Iranian treaty with the Persians. One of the diplomats of the royal school was not too lazy to look into the Turkmanchay Treaty. And after that, Article 6 appeared, which allowed Soviet Russia to send its troops into a neighboring country if a threat arose for it. Griboyedov's foresight was especially useful in 1941. The Germans are near Moscow, and Reza Shah was ready to let the Nazi divisions pass through his territory to us. And our army entered Persia from the north, occupying Tehran as well. Thank you, Alexander Sergeevich!

The agreement is recognized by both parties now. True, after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Article 6 of it quietly disappeared. Was unilaterally abolished by the new regime. I wonder if State Councilor A.S. would have allowed this. Griboyedov?

At home new , But prejudice old .

Neither years their , no fashion , neither fires .

From the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824) by A. S. Griboyedov (1795-1829). The words of Chatsky (act. 2, yavl. 5)

Our "laziness and lack of curiosity" affected here as well. What if another Russian genius was born on January 15, 1795? Does modern Russia celebrate it, which still knows almost nothing about either its origin or the circumstances of his biography and work.

Few people know that his ancestor Jan Grzhibovsky moved from Poland to Russia in the 17th century, giving rise to the Russian Griboedov family. His maiden mother had the same surname as her father. And the writer himself hid, but did not deny, that he was the great-nephew of Alexander Radishchev. Brilliantly gifted, who knew many languages since childhood, who early became a candidate of verbal sciences, but continued his studies at the moral-political and physical-mathematical departments of Moscow University, at the beginning of the war of 1812, Griboyedov was already a young cornet. A talented musician and author of waltzes, author of brilliant comedies and vaudevilles, many disappeared poems and poems ... and, of course, a duelist (a hand shot during a quadruple duel helped to identify his body disfigured by Muslim fanatics in Tehran) - this is a small part of what is known about the author of the immortal comedy.

However, even academicians find it difficult to understand the personality and fate of a genius whose friends were both Pyotr Chaadaev and Faddey Bulgarin, who combined Polish blood and a Georgian wife in his fate. In his immortal comedy, Griboyedov combined another unprecedented property: reflections of tragedy are heard in it, its main character is a brilliant intellectual, an exile yearning for his homeland, a romantic in love, in whose "pigeon liver" - like Hamlet's - bile and bitterness lives, and the mind shaken by bitterness and anger.

But was Pushkin right when he saw the main mistake of the play in that Chatsky is a "fool" throwing pearls in front of pigs? Perhaps, for Griboedov, this is an occasion for bitter (tragic) laughter at the inability of these two worlds to hear each other.

And in Moscow to this day there is no Griboyedov Museum.

Persia, always unpredictable, having its own opinion on everything, unwilling to put up with Russian domination, our country won the Second Russian-Persian War. And in February 1828, the Turkmanchay Treaty, written with the active participation of Griboedov, came into force, enriching Russia with Shah's millions given in gold.

Persia grumbled, and, choosing a pretext, on January 30, 1829, hundreds of fanatics attacked the embassy. I happened to see the place where Griboyedov and a handful of his diplomats fought the fanatics. We were taken there with a group of comrades who worked in Iran. Griboyedov met death with a weapon in his hands. He shot, hacked to death either 8 or 9 attackers with a saber. The poet, writer, diplomat and duellist was a master of weapons. In hand-to-hand fighting, he fought in cold blood, evilly, and, despite his left hand mutilated during a long-standing duel, he fought back from the crowd that was pressing on. His mutilated, desecrated, torn body was dragged through the streets of Tehran.

Nikolai Dolgopolov
Alena Karas /

A. S. Griboyedov gave such a well-aimed and accurate description of Russian society in the 20s of the 19th century through the mouth of his hero Alexander Chatsky.

The comedy "Woe from Wit" was written in 1825, when more than 10 years had passed since the Patriotic War of 1812. Burnt Moscow was rebuilt; new sidewalks, the houses in the play are praised by both Famusov and the tongue-tied Skalozub. But Chatsky, who returned from abroad, is most concerned not with urban planning, but with how society, the state, and human relations are built.

He received an answer to his questions very soon. All the heroes of the play try in turn to explain to him, as a loser who has not made a career, the rules of success. Famusov is especially trying. His wisdom is to act “as the fathers did”: to please the one who is higher, for the sake of this it is not a sin and pretend to be a roly-poly jester. It is not personal intellect and talent that are rewarded - only kinship and connections are important, here only “according to father and son honor”; positions, ranks, awards are distributed to relatives, sycophants. And two talents are enough - “moderation and accuracy”, like Molchalin. IN common desire“to take awards and live happily” all these gentlemen whirl, trying to jump higher (Skalozub, for example, “aims for generals”).

Service to the fatherland, the benefit of society are empty words for them. Very eloquent is the scene where the lackey Petrushka writes down all the “cases” for the week that the important official Famusov must have time to complete: attend a dinner party, a funeral, a christening - and that’s it! This is how the service is understood. These are the prejudices by which the Moscow nobility lives.

Three years ago, Chatsky fled from the need to follow them abroad, and when he returned, he was convinced that “neither their years, nor fashion, nor fires will destroy them.” And the most hated of them and elevated to law - serfdom essentially slavery. A man of the serf class can be sold, exchanged for dogs, forced to “click a nightingale” for a master's whim. Memories of this from childhood are stored in the memory of Chatsky. Slavery permeates all strata of society: not only the peasants are enslaved, but the masters are far from free: how wordless Molchalin I am sure that “it is necessary to depend on others,” and the arrogant Famusov lives in fear of “what Princess Marya Aleksevna will say.” Chatsky is intolerant of the spirit of slavery that has penetrated all aspects of life, including dependence on foreigners who dictate the fashion for everything: dress, education, thoughts.

Russian bar-serfs are ready to accept everything, having abandoned true Russian, including their native language. Daredevil Chatsky is ready to fight, he openly argues, judges, accuses. But, seeing how the entire Famusov environment is cleverly arranged in life and quite content with the existing order of things, subject to age-old prejudices, you understand that Chatsky with his tirade “I would be glad to serve, it’s sickening to serve” will not stay long in this society. It is not in his power to change something - only to run, which he does.
