And Tolstoy's Russian character analysis. Summary of an extracurricular reading lesson based on the story of Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy "Russian character"

Egor Dremov is saved from spruce in the war. He's covered in burns. His face is disfigured. Yegor goes to his parents in the guise of their son's friend. He decides to abandon his beloved and leave his family forever, just not to scare them with his appearance. A letter from his mother and the confident attitude of his bride make him change his mind. Thanks to his strong and invincible character, the hero manages to regain the joy of life.

The main idea of ​​the story Russian character of Tolstoy

The Russian character is so strong and invincible that it can withstand any troubles and illnesses.

Egor Dremov is the simplest and most ordinary tanker. He lives an ordinary life. Egor is a very handsome guy. He is tall, strong, and has curly hair. Parents occupy a huge place in the hero’s life. He loves and respects them. Yegor has a chosen one. When leaving for war, he is sure that his beloved will be waiting for him and will accept him in any condition. During the war, Dremov performed many feats and brave deeds, however, he himself did not say a word about it to anyone. The war continued and Dremov fought bravely, but a terrible misfortune befell him.

During the next battle, Yegor's tank was knocked out. He was pulled out in a burning state a minute before the tank exploded. His friends died. The tanker's burns were so strong and serious that in some places bones could be seen under the burns and swollen skin. After the burns, Yegor had to undergo numerous plastic surgeries. His face was completely changed. It’s good that at least the poor guy still has his sight. Yegor looked in the mirror for a long time and tried to recognize the stranger looking at him from the mirror. The hero asks to be returned to the regiment, but is ordered to remain on vacation for another 20 days.

After resting he returns home. Egor meets with his parents. He does not want to scare them with his disfigured appearance. The idea comes to his mind to call himself a friend of their son. His parents warmly welcome him, feed him, give him water and ask him about their beloved son. The next day the hero meets his beloved girl, Katya. She immediately greets him joyfully, but when she sees his disfigured face, she shrinks away. Dremov talks about the exploits of her fiancé, and he decides to leave her life and forget about her forever.

Returning to the front, Yegor receives a letter from his mother, where she writes about her doubts that the son himself is coming to them. She wrote that she was proud of her son’s face and wanted to know the truth. Egor meets with his mother and fiancee. The mother accepts him, and the bride says that she wants to live her whole life only with him.

7. Homework.

(Attached presentations, student messages)

Family of Yegor Dremov. Katya Malysheva.

The family of Yegor Dremov lived in a Volga village in the Saratov region. Yegor himself said this about his father: “My father is a sedate man, the first thing is that he respects himself. You, he says, son, will see a lot in the world and go abroad, but be proud of your Russian title...” We can say about the mother that she was a simple peasant woman who poured out all her love and suffering, her grief in a letter to Yegor.

We see that you cannot deceive a mother, and Marya Polikarpovna felt with her mother’s heart that this was her son. This is a real Russian woman who bore on her shoulders all the hardships and hardships of the war. And, of course, Katya Malysheva is one with Egor’s family. A girl who loves not for her beautiful appearance, not for her wealth, but for her spiritual beauty. She is faithful to her fiancé, no matter how handsome or ugly he is. And these people, who lived in the rear and brought victory closer, have their own persistent, courageous character, real Russian. They also have the core that Ivan Sudarev spoke about.

Narrator Ivan Sudarev in the work by A.N. Tolstoy "Russian character"

Ivan Sudarev, the author of the story about Yegor Dremov, a friend of Yegor, a fellow fighter, a person you can rely on. He is an accomplice in this story. Ivan Sudarev comments on many events, gives an assessment; in the story he tells not only about Yegor Dremov, but also about himself. For example, he talks about the life of people at the front and says that “...by constantly hovering around death, people become better, all nonsense peels off from them, like unhealthy skin after a sunburn, and remains in the person - the core. Of course - Some have it stronger, others have it weaker, but even those who have a flawed core are drawn to it, everyone wants to be a good and faithful comrade.”

From this it is immediately clear that Ivan Sudarev - man with a core. And Sudarev’s opinion about the story with Yegor at home (when Yegor tells him everything, says a lot: “You fool, fool, write to your mother quickly, ask her for forgiveness, don’t drive her crazy... She really needs your image! This way she will love you even more.")

But the reflection on the Russian character with which the story ends shows us that both the author Tolstoy and the narrator Ivan Sudarev have a real Russian character. Such works in Russian literature are called a story within a story.

The Battle of Kursk occupies a special place in the Great Patriotic War. It lasted 50 days and nights, from July 5 to August 23, 1943. This battle has no equal in its ferocity and tenacity of struggle.

To implement his plans, the enemy concentrated powerful strike forces, which numbered over 900 thousand people, about 10 thousand guns and mortars, up to 2,700 tanks and assault guns, and about 2,050 aircraft. Great hopes were placed on the latest Tiger and Panther tanks, Ferdinand assault guns, Focke-Wulf 190-A fighter planes and Heinkel 129 attack aircraft.

The Soviet command decided to first bleed the enemy's strike forces in defensive battles and then launch a counteroffensive. The battle that began immediately took on a grand scale and was extremely tense.

Our troops did not flinch. They faced avalanches of enemy tanks and infantry with unprecedented tenacity and courage. The advance of enemy strike forces was suspended.

The largest oncoming tank battle of the entire Second World War near Prokhorovka finally buried Hitler’s Operation Citadel. It happened on July 12.

1,200 tanks and self-propelled guns simultaneously participated in it on both sides. This battle was won by Soviet soldiers. The Nazis, having lost up to 400 tanks during the day of battle, were forced to abandon the offensive.

On July 12, the second stage of the Battle of Kursk began - the counteroffensive of Soviet troops. On August 5, Soviet troops liberated the cities of Orel and Belgorod.

On the evening of August 5, in honor of this major success, a victorious salute was given in Moscow for the first time in two years of war. From that time on, artillery salutes constantly announced the glorious victories of Soviet weapons.

On August 23, Kharkov was liberated. Thus the Battle of the Kursk Arc of Fire ended victoriously.

During it, 30 selected enemy divisions were defeated. Nazi troops lost about 500 thousand people, 1,500 tanks, 3 thousand guns and 3,700 aircraft.

For courage and heroism, over 100 thousand Soviet soldiers who took part in the Battle of the Arc of Fire were awarded orders and medals. The Battle of Kursk ended a radical turning point in the Great Patriotic War.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated August 1, 1939, a special distinctive sign was introduced for Heroes of the Soviet Union - the medal “Hero of the Soviet Union”. Another Decree of October 16, 1939 approved the appearance of the medal, which was called the “Gold Star”

Summary conversation

"RUSSIAN CHARACTER"

Russian character! - for a short story the title is too meaningful. What can you do - I just want to talk to you about the Russian character.

Russian character! Go ahead and describe it... Should I talk about heroic deeds? But there are so many of them that you are at a loss as to which one to prefer. So one of my friends helped me out with a little story from his personal life. I won’t tell you how he beat the Germans, although he wears a gold star and half his chest in orders. He is a simple, quiet, ordinary person, a collective farmer from a Volga village in the Saratov region. But among others he is noticeable by his strong and proportionate build and beauty. You used to look at him when he climbed out of the tank turret - the god of war! He jumps from the armor to the ground, pulls off the helmet from his wet curls, wipes his grimy face with a rag and will certainly smile from spiritual affection.

In war, constantly hovering near death, people become better, all nonsense peels off from them, like unhealthy skin after a sunburn, and remains in the person - the core. Of course, some people have it stronger, others have it weaker, but even those who have a flawed core are drawn to it, everyone wants to be a good and faithful comrade. But my friend, Yegor Dremov, was of strict behavior even before the war, extremely respected and loved his mother, Marya Polikarpovna, and his father, Yegor Yegorovich. “My father is a sedate man, first of all, he respects himself. You, he says, son, will see a lot in the world and go abroad, but be proud of your Russian title...”

He had a bride from the same village on the Volga. We talk a lot about brides and wives, especially if there is calm at the front, it’s cold, the fire is smoking in the dugout, the stove is crackling and people have had dinner. If they say something like this here, it will make you laugh. They will start, for example: “What is love?” One will say: “Love arises on the basis of respect...” Another: “Nothing like that, love is a habit, a person loves not only his wife, but his father and mother and even animals...” - “Ugh, stupid!” - the third will say , - love is when everything is boiling in you, a person walks around as if drunk..." And so they philosophize for an hour and another, until the foreman, intervening, with a commanding voice defines the very essence... Yegor Dremov, must be embarrassed by these conversations , just casually mentioned to me about his fiancée - she’s a very good girl, and even if she said she’d wait, she’ll wait until he returns on one leg...

He also didn’t like to talk about military exploits: “I don’t want to remember such things!” He frowns and lights a cigarette. We learned about the combat performance of his tank from the words of the crew; the driver especially surprised the listeners

You see, as soon as we turned around, I saw a tiger crawling out from behind a hill... I shouted: “Comrade Lieutenant, tiger!” - “Forward, shouting, full throttle!...” I’ll camouflage myself along the spruce forest - to the right, to the left... He moves the tiger’s barrel like a blind man, he hit it - missed... And the comrade lieutenant will hit him in the side, - splash! As soon as it hits the tower, he raised his trunk... As it hits the third time, smoke poured out of all the cracks of the tiger, and flames burst out of it a hundred meters up... The crew climbed through the emergency hatch... Vanka

Lapshin fired his machine gun and they lay there, kicking their legs... For us, you understand, the path has been cleared. Five minutes later we fly into the village. Here I just lost my life... The fascists are all over the place... And - it’s dirty, you know - another one will jump out of his boots and in only his socks - Pork. Everyone runs to the barn. Comrade lieutenant gives me the command: “Come on, move around the barn.” We turned the gun away, at full throttle I ran into a barn... Fathers! The beams rattled across the armor, boards, bricks, the Nazis who were sitting under the roof... And I also - and ironed -

the rest of the hands up - and Hitler is kaput...

This is how Lieutenant Yegor Dremov fought until a misfortune happened to him.

During the Battle of Kursk, when the Germans were already bleeding and faltering, his tank - on a hillock, in a wheat field - was hit by a shell, two of the crew were immediately killed, and the tank caught fire from the second shell. The driver Chuvilev, who jumped out through the front hatch, again climbed onto the armor and managed to pull out the lieutenant - he was unconscious, his overalls were on fire. As soon as Chuvilev pulled the lieutenant away, the tank exploded with such force that the turret was thrown fifty meters away. Chuvilev threw handfuls of loose earth on the lieutenant’s face, head, and clothes to put out the fire. Then he crawled with him from crater to crater to the dressing station... “Why did I drag him then?”

Chuvilev said, “I hear his heart beating..."

Yegor Dremov survived and did not even lose his sight, although his face was so charred that bones were visible in places. He spent eight months in the hospital, he underwent plastic surgery one after another, his nose, lips, eyelids, and ears were restored. Eight months later, when the bandages were removed, he looked at his and now not his face. The nurse who handed him a small mirror turned away and began to cry. He immediately returned the mirror to her.

It can be worse,” he said, “you can live with it.”

But he no longer asked the nurse for a mirror, he only often felt his face, as if he was getting used to it. The commission found him fit for non-combatant service. Then he went to the general and said: “I ask your permission to return to the regiment.” “But you are disabled,” said the general. “No way, I’m a freak, but this won’t interfere with the matter, I’ll restore my combat capability completely.”

![(The fact that the general tried not to look at him during the conversation, Yegor

Dremov noted and just grinned with his lilac lips, straight as a slit.) He received a twenty-day leave to fully restore his health and went home to his father and mother. This was just in March of this year.

At the station he thought about taking a cart, but he had to walk eighteen miles. There was still snow all around, it was damp, deserted, the icy wind blew away the skirts of his overcoat, whistling in his ears with lonely melancholy. He arrived in the village when it was already dusk. Here was the well, the tall crane swayed and creaked. Hence the sixth hut is the parents' hut. He suddenly stopped, putting his hands in his pockets. He shook his head. I turned diagonally towards the house. Stuck knee-deep in the snow, bending over to the window, I saw my mother - in the dim light of a screwed-on lamp above the table, she was getting ready for dinner. Still in the same dark scarf, quiet, unhurried, kind. She was older, her thin shoulders stuck out... “Oh, if only I knew, every day she would have to write at least two little words about herself...” She gathered some simple things for the table - a cup of milk, a piece of bread, two spoons, a salt shaker and thought , standing in front of the table, his thin arms folded under his chest... Yegor Dremov, looking through the window at his mother, realized that it was impossible to frighten her, it was impossible for her old face to tremble desperately.

OK! He opened the gate, entered the courtyard and knocked on the porch. The mother answered outside the door: “Who’s there?” He replied: "Lieutenant,

Hero of the Soviet Union Gromov.

His heart was pounding so hard - he leaned his shoulder against the ceiling. No, the mother did not recognize his voice. He himself, as if for the first time, heard his own voice, which had changed after all the operations - hoarse, dull, unclear.

Father, what do you want? - she asked.

Marya Polikarpovna brought a bow from his son, senior lieutenant

Then she opened the door and rushed towards him, grabbing his hands:

Alive, my Egor! Are you healthy? Father, come into the hut.

Yegor Dremov sat down on the bench near the table in the same place where he sat when his legs did not reach the floor and his mother used to stroke his curly head and say: “Eat, Irrita.” He began to talk about her son, about himself - in detail, how he eats, drinks, does not suffer need for anything, is always healthy, cheerful, and - briefly about the battles where he participated with his tank.

Tell me, is it scary in war? - she interrupted, looking into his face with dark eyes that did not see him.

Yes, of course, it’s scary, mom, but it’s a habit.

My father, Yegor Yegorovich, who had also passed over the years, came and his beard felt like flour. Looking at the guest, he stomped on the threshold with his broken felt boots, slowly unwound his scarf, took off his sheepskin coat, walked up to the table, shook hands - ah, it was familiar, the wide, fair parental hand! Without asking anything, because it was already clear

Why is there a decorated guest here, he sat down and also began to listen, half-lidding his eyes.

The longer Lieutenant Dremov sat unrecognizable and talked about himself and not about himself, the more impossible it was for him to open up, to stand up and say: acknowledge me, you freak, mother, father!.. He felt both good at his parents’ table and offended.

Well, let's have dinner, mother, pack something for the guest. -

Yegor Yegorovich opened the door of an old cupboard, where in the corner to the left lay fishing hooks in a matchbox - they lay there - and there was a teapot with a broken spout - it stood there, where it smelled of bread crumbs and onion skins. Yegor Yegorovich took out a bottle of wine - only two glasses, and sighed that he couldn’t get more. We sat down to dinner, as in previous years. And only at dinner, Senior Lieutenant Dremov noticed that his mother was especially closely watching his hand with a spoon. He grinned, the mother raised her eyes, her face trembled painfully.

We talked about this and that, what spring would be like, and whether the people would be able to cope with sowing, and that this summer we had to wait for the end of the war.

Why do you think, Yegor Yegorovich, that we must wait for the end of the war this summer?

The people got angry,” Yegor Yegorovich answered, “they passed through death, now you can’t stop them, the Germans are kaput.”

Marya Polikarpovna asked:

You didn’t say when he would be given leave to visit us on leave. I haven’t seen him for three years, tea, he’s become an adult, he walks around with a mustache... So

“But when he comes, maybe you won’t recognize him,” said the lieutenant.

They assigned him to sleep on the stove, where he remembered every brick, every crack in the log wall, every knot in the ceiling. It smelled of sheepskin, bread - that familiar comfort that is not forgotten even in the hour of death. The March wind whistled over the roof. Behind the partition my father was snoring. The mother tossed and turned, sighed, and did not sleep. The lieutenant was lying face down, his face in his hands: “She really didn’t recognize her,” I thought, “she really didn’t recognize her? Mom, mom...”

The next morning he woke up to the crackling of firewood, his mother was carefully fiddling around the stove; his washed foot wraps hung on an extended rope, and his washed boots stood by the door.

Do you eat millet pancakes? - she asked.

He didn’t answer right away, got off the stove, put on his tunic, tightened his belt and -

barefoot - sat down on the bench.

Tell me, Katya Malysheva and Andrei Stepanovich live in your village

Malyshev's daughter?

She graduated from courses last year and became our teacher. Do you need to see her?

Your son definitely asked to convey his regards to her.

Her mother sent a neighbor girl to fetch her. The lieutenant didn’t even have time to put on his shoes when Katya Malysheva came running. Her wide gray eyes sparkled, her eyebrows flew up in amazement, and there was a joyful blush on her cheeks. When she threw the knitted scarf from her head over her broad shoulders, the lieutenant even groaned to himself:

I wish I could kiss that warm blond hair!.. That’s just how his girlfriend seemed to him: fresh, gentle, cheerful, kind, so beautiful that she came in and the whole hut became golden...

Did you bring a bow from Yegor? (He stood with his back to the light and just bowed his head because he couldn’t speak.) And I’m waiting for him day and night, so tell him...

She came close to him. She looked, and as if she had been lightly hit in the chest, she leaned back and got scared. Then he firmly decided to leave - today.

Mother baked millet pancakes with baked milk. He again talked about Lieutenant Dremov, this time about his military exploits, - he talked cruelly and did not raise his eyes to Katya, so as not to see the reflection of his ugliness on her sweet face. Yegor Yegorovich began to fuss to get a collective farm horse, but he left for the station on foot as he came. He was very depressed by everything that had happened, even when he stopped, he hit his face with his palms and repeated in a hoarse voice: “What should we do now?”

He returned to his regiment, which was stationed deep in the rear for replenishment.

His comrades greeted him with such sincere joy that everything that had prevented him from sleeping, eating, or breathing fell away from his soul. I decided to let his mother not know about his misfortune for a longer time. As for Katya,

He will tear this thorn out of his heart.

About two weeks later a letter came from my mother:

“Hello, my beloved son. I’m afraid to write to you, I don’t know what to think. We had one person from you - a very good man, only with a bad face. I wanted to live, but immediately packed up and left. Since then, son , I can’t sleep at night, - it seems to me that you came. Yegor Yegorovich scolds me for this, - he says, you, old woman, have gone crazy: if only he were our son -

wouldn't he have opened up... Why should he hide if it were him - we should be proud of a face like this one who came to us. Egor will persuade me

Yegorovich, and the mother’s heart is all her own: oh, this, he was with us! Egorushka, write to me, for Christ’s sake, tell me what happened? Or really, I've gone crazy..."

Yegor Dremov showed this letter to me, Ivan Sudarev, and, telling his story, wiped his eyes with his sleeve. I told him: “Here, I say, the characters have clashed! You’re a fool, a fool, write to your mother quickly, ask her for forgiveness, don’t drive her crazy... She really needs your image! That’s how she will love you even more.”

On the same day he wrote a letter: “My dear parents, Marya

Polikarpovna and Yegor Egorovich, forgive me for my ignorance, you really had me, your son...” And so on, and so on - on four pages in small handwriting - he would have written on twenty pages - it would have been possible.

After some time, we are standing at the training ground, - the soldier comes running and - to Yegor Dremov: “Comrade captain, they are asking you...” The soldier’s expression is this, although he is standing in full uniform, as if a man is about to drink. We went to the village and approached the hut where Dremov and I lived. I see that he is not himself, he keeps coughing... I think: “Tanker, tanker, ah - nerves.” We enter the hut, he is in front of me, and I hear:

“Mom, hello, it’s me!..” And I see that the little old woman fell on his chest. I look around, and it turns out there’s another woman here. I give my word of honor, there are other beauties somewhere, she’s not the only one, but personally, I haven’t seen one.

He tore his mother away from him and approached this girl - and I already remembered that with all his heroic build he was the god of war. “Katya!” he says.

Katya, why did you come? This is what you promised to wait for, not this..."

Beautiful Katya answers him, and although I have gone into the hallway, I hear: “Egor, I am going to live with you forever. I will love you truly, I will love you very much...

Don't send me away..."

Yes, here they are, Russian characters! It seems that a simple man, but a severe misfortune will come, in big or small, and a great power rises in him -

human beauty.

(Attached presentations, student messages)

Family of Yegor Dremov. Katya Malysheva.

The family of Yegor Dremov lived in a Volga village in the Saratov region. Yegor himself said this about his father: “My father is a sedate man, the first thing is that he respects himself. You, he says, son, will see a lot in the world and go abroad, but be proud of your Russian title...” We can say about the mother that she was a simple peasant woman who poured out all her love and suffering, her grief in a letter to Yegor.

We see that you cannot deceive a mother, and Marya Polikarpovna felt with her mother’s heart that this was her son. This is a real Russian woman who bore on her shoulders all the hardships and hardships of the war. And, of course, Katya Malysheva is one with Egor’s family. A girl who loves not for her beautiful appearance, not for her wealth, but for her spiritual beauty. She is faithful to her fiancé, no matter how handsome or ugly he is. And these people, who lived in the rear and brought victory closer, have their own persistent, courageous character, real Russian. They also have the core that Ivan Sudarev spoke about.

Narrator Ivan Sudarev in the work by A.N. Tolstoy "Russian character"

Ivan Sudarev, the author of the story about Yegor Dremov, a friend of Yegor, a fellow fighter, a person you can rely on. He is an accomplice in this story. Ivan Sudarev comments on many events, gives an assessment; in the story he tells not only about Yegor Dremov, but also about himself. For example, he talks about the life of people at the front and says that “...by constantly hovering around death, people become better, all nonsense peels off from them, like unhealthy skin after a sunburn, and remains in the person - the core. Of course - Some have it stronger, others have it weaker, but even those who have a flawed core are drawn to it, everyone wants to be a good and faithful comrade.”

From this it is immediately clear that Ivan Sudarev - man with a core. And Sudarev’s opinion about the story with Yegor at home (when Yegor tells him everything, says a lot: “You fool, fool, write to your mother quickly, ask her for forgiveness, don’t drive her crazy... She really needs your image! This way she will love you even more.")

But the reflection on the Russian character with which the story ends shows us that both the author Tolstoy and the narrator Ivan Sudarev have a real Russian character. Such works in Russian literature are called a story within a story.
