✪ The highest measure. Albert Likhanov

Subtitles

Friends, if you do not have the opportunity (time, desire, strength) to read Albert Likhanov's story "The Supreme Measure", watch this video and you will know as much about the difficult fate of one woman as the person who read this story. By the way, one subscriber asked to retell the "Higher Measure". Before that, I didn’t even know either the work itself or Likhanov. In general, the story is good, useful. And when something is pleasant to read, then it is interesting to tell. In general, it is strange ... The story was written by a man. And the story itself is conducted on behalf of a woman. Likhanov was then 47 years old when he wrote. For example, I can't imagine a woman writing a real book on behalf of a man. We are different, we think differently. Therefore, girls, it is very possible that some of the actions of the main character will seem untrue to you. Be prepared for this. Likhanov wrote the story in 1982. Events take place in the same period in Moscow and some other provincial city. One summer, a woman was on a train. She admires nature outside the window. But when her thoughts return to recent events, her heart is filled with excruciating pain. Only sleeping pills helped her to forget. She rode in the compartment herself. I was driving home to my adult daughter. She decided on the road to figure out in her life what she did wrong and where. Sofya Sergeevna remembered how her son Sasha saw her off yesterday with his ex-wife Irina. They asked her how to live on. She didn't know how to live on her own now. On the train, a woman recalled her life. When she was younger, she worked in the university library in the reading room. She lived in the provinces, although she herself comes from Moscow. Once a student Oleg Osipov came to this library. There were no seats in the common rooms, and Sofya took him to a separate room, where she herself sometimes dined with the girls. There she also brought the girl Olya Olgina. It turned out OOOO - these are their initials. A week and a half later, Olya asked Sofya Sergeevna to be a witness at their wedding. The wedding was ordinary - student. The boys didn't have any money. Because vinaigrette was the main snack. But how fun it was at such weddings. Sophia even then thought that for some reason ... sincere fun can only be when people are poor. And vice versa: when people have money, then purity and sincerity disappear ... A very controversial observation ... Once her son Sasha brought a girl - Irina - to that library room. She didn't like Irina. She was beautiful. But this beauty, according to Sophia, was somehow ... unreal. Plus, she was older than Sasha and three centimeters taller than him. The girls with whom Sophia worked told her that they often saw in the library how Irina kissed different guys. In the evening, she told her son everything that she thinks about his chosen one. But at the same time, she understood that she no longer had power over her son. Irina seized it - this power. One was the hope that the girl Sasha would quickly get bored. I didn’t get bored quickly ... Sophia then realized her cant. She needed to bring her son to good girls, and she ... lost her mind. Irina appeared on the horizon and took him away from her mother. A year later they got married. Sasha was then in the 3rd year. They lived in Sophia's apartment. Young people in one room, Sophia with her daughter Alya in the other. Ali had epileptic seizures. She was the same age as Irina, but... devoid of consciousness. Birth trauma ... Yes ... Irina did not expect such a life. But! She took care of Alya. And sincerely. After all, nothing could be obtained from her in return. That's what Sophia said. She called her son kind, spineless, too obedient. And now pause! And who raised him so spineless and too obedient? Isn't it you, Sofya Sergeevna? She brought up a rag - so you don’t get a man with eggs, but some kind of misunderstanding. This showed up at school as well. His classmates bullied him. Until he learned to adapt to the strong. Irina studied philology - Spanish language and literature. I studied well. Sophia saw strength in Irina and understood that she would eat her son over time. And now, by the way, about the son and daughter ... These were not her children. Sister Zhenya died, and Sophia began to take care of her children as if they were her own. It was hard at the beginning. Alya is sick forever. Sasha was then 3 years old. Sophia decided to leave Moscow. Friends advised to abandon the children. Especially from Ali. But Sophia couldn't do that. In the new city, she met the nurse Maria, an assistant, without whom she could not cope. Maria was retired and, in order not to sit idly by, looked after Alya. Sofya paid her a symbolic 20 rubles a month, which she spent on gifts for Ali. Only Maria in the new city knew that the children were not hers. Sasha graduated from the university with triples and went to work as a teacher. And the excellent student Irina was left without a job at all. Who in their city needed Spanish?.. No one! Sophia was surprised at Irina's choice to learn Spanish before. Sasha began to earn 100 rubles a month and Sophia really felt better. Then she immediately bought Mary a gift - a woolen dress. At least I wanted to thank her. Well, then I'll tell you what for modern girl in my head ... it won't settle down. But in the era of general shortages in the Soviet Union, this was the norm. Maria put on this dress, admired it in front of the mirror, took it off and gave it to Irina. Irina's mother altered it a little and voila - the girl has a new dress. But still, the relationship with the daughter-in-law did not improve. There was no work for her. Then Irina began to act differently. Every day she put on a different outfit and went out into the city to hunt - looking for something. And once she came and said that she got a job as a secretary to the director of a large factory. Both Sasha and Sophia were crazy. Study for five years, then go to work as a secretary and enjoy it. Here are the naive ... Sasha resigned himself. Still would not reconcile. With his own character. The wife received even more salary than he did. Once the son told his mother that Irina compared him to a tractor cart. - You, he says, do not think about anything. You are a tractor cart, and I am a tractor, since fate so desires. Where I'm going, move there too, don't go into too much, then you'll understand. Working next to the director, Irina gained credibility. Many wanted to get to know her. And besides, she was ... beautiful ... Irina became a serious figure on a city scale. She admired her director - a war hero, a deputy. Irina dressed defiantly by the standards of her mother-in-law, which, of course, annoyed her. But that was Sasha's business. A few months later, Irina said that she had secured an apartment for them. Sasha, like a puppy, ran around, wagging his tail. She worked only six months - and already knocked out an apartment. A punchy girl ... Sophia was delighted - finally Irina would disappear from her house. The three of them went to the outskirts of the city to watch the new building. We went into an apartment (one-room) - nice, spacious. And young people say that they are not enough. Now they need more - they want to have a child. According to Sophia, their son (her grandson) Igor was born not as a fruit of love, but as a household necessity. After 9 months, Irina gave birth to a boy. From the factory they were given a "kopeck piece" - closer to the center. Trouble over Igor brought Sophia closer to her daughter-in-law. It seemed to her that this happy family life had come for her son. At the same time, Sophia always realized that she, not having her experience in family life does not know how it should be. Sophia adored her grandson. Irina after giving birth became even more beautiful in an adult way. And soon Sasha got a new job. It was Irina's director who patted his friend, and Sasha was taken by the professor to his physics laboratory. There Sasha got flooded. The professor couldn't be happier. He began to earn now 200 rubles. Everything, for which Irina would not undertake, bore fruit. Everything was calculated with mathematical precision - every next step. “What will happen next?” the mother-in-law thought. Spanish Irina did not give up. She took care of them every day. Once she went with her director to Moscow on a business trip. BUT main reason her trip (later Sophia found out) - was to advertise the exchange of apartments - her "kopeck piece" here for a "one piece" in Moscow. Irina twisted Sasha as she wanted. He did everything as she needed. Friends, you already understood that a woman like Irina will not be able to live long with such a scumbag like Sasha. She will find herself a normal man. Irina continued to travel to Moscow - first on business trips, then on vacation. Herself ... The mother-in-law understood that this was no accident. Sasha also sometimes went to Moscow. He returned sad. Once I was near the house where they once lived - it turns out he remembered. But he did not remember his own mother. Soon a pensioner appeared on the horizon, who wanted to exchange apartments. He wanted to live his life in his homeland, and therefore decided to leave Moscow. To move, one formality was needed - an invitation to work. Do you understand why Irina needed Sasha? Yes! With his golden hands, almost every scientific institute was ready to take him. A new acquaintance of Irina, a certain Ryzhov, the deputy director of the institute, helped. Sophia wanted her grandson to be left to her, but she understood that this would not happen. Once, Irina said in a conversation that her torment at work would finally end. For 4 years she was running errands with her director, and now in Moscow she will finally spread her wings with her Spanish. Irina has calculated everything long ago, like a chess player - many moves ahead. To exchange an apartment in Moscow, "odnushka" was not enough here - you need a "kopeck piece". "Dvushku" will give if there is a child. So you have to be born. Will need more work in Moscow. So Sasha needs to be attached. - I behaved like a man, unlike Sasha. The apartment, his work, Igor, and now Moscow is all my merit. And you can't argue - it's true! Shortly before their departure, Maria died - easily, calmly, at home. When Sophia came to her house, her wall clock, which always worked, suddenly stopped and did not want to work anymore. "Mystic," Sophia thought. Now she is on her own. Alya was the only one around. But don't even talk to her. In Moscow, Irina got a job in the library of foreign literature. Then she entered graduate school by correspondence. After 2 months, Sasha moved to another job, where they paid more. When Alya was taken to the hospital with another attack for several days, Sofya Sergeevna flew to Moscow. I didn't even warn anyone. For a year and a half she did not see her son, grandson and daughter-in-law. She arrived... But there was no one at their house. I left things with my neighbors and went for a walk around my once native Moscow. First of all, I went to the Vagankovsky cemetery. To her sister Zhenya ... Sasha and Igor were very glad to see her. Irina came at about 23:00 - she was writing her dissertation. Sofya looked at her - a beauty, as if from a magazine, elegant, even thinner. In communication, calm, confident, strong. Igorka immediately sent to sleep, Sasha - to the kitchen to make tea. And everyone obeyed. Sophia rarely came to Moscow. And Alya had no one to leave with, and she herself did not want to. Nurses for Ali changed constantly - no one could stand it for a long time. When Igor was in the 5th grade, he himself came to his grandmother. Irina defended her dissertation. She moved from the library to the university to teach Spanish. Spanish began to gain popularity, because her knowledge of the language was in great demand. Sasha began to drink slowly. Letters from Moscow began to arrive less and less. In each of them, Sasha complained about Igor - he was uncontrollable. He was already 15. And once in the letter there was one short phrase: "Irina and I broke up." Honestly, I don't believe it. So that Irina, having moved to Moscow, endured this misunderstanding for 12 years. She should have left him earlier. Sasha arrived a few days later. He told everything. He said that a month after the move, he realized that everything would end in a divorce. Someone handed him a note in which he wrote that for the work at the institute, which Ryzhov gave him, Irina ... paid off with sex ... - I showed this note to Ryzhov. He got scared. I thought that I would complain to the party. Then he showed Irina. So she said she did it for me, and I'm an ungrateful brute. A man who respects himself would immediately send this Irina to hell. Well, this schmuck chewed snot for 12 years. He told his mother that she had gone to another, and he had another. Honestly, I don’t believe that any normal woman would pay attention to this teapot. Her name is Elga. Widow. With two children. Rich. Irina married a diplomat and became pregnant. Here I believe. I found myself a man. After giving birth, she planned to leave to live in Spain. Sasha said he was happy. Because they love him for the first time. And he loves. - And what about Igor? Sophia asked. - On my own. Irina's husband is not up to him. Yes, me too. Soon he will enter the institute - an adult already. Somehow by myself. Sophia is shocked: - How? Is he still a child? Give it to me. - Take it easy. He has an apartment. Marries. And he will be all right. When Sophia accompanied her son to Moscow, she asked herself the question: “Where was your dignity for so many years?” And she answered herself: “But it didn’t mean him.” You are a weakling, Sasha, spineless. Very soon Sofya Sergeevna went to Moscow. Her grandson met her, but already without manifestations of violent joy. Then Irina came to her son. Greeted like nothing happened. We talked. Mostly about Igor. - He is even better now - he does not see quarrels, - said Irina. Then Sasha came - he was delighted with his mother. Car keys in hand. This is Elgi. She has a three-ruble note, a dacha, a Zhiguli. Alexander did well. Irina wanted to mark the end of the 9th grade by Igor. Came her new husband diplomat Boris Vladimirovich. Then Sasha and Elga appeared. They all communicate normally, but Sofya Sergeevna is somehow uncomfortable. She doesn't know how to behave. In her understanding, the former should be enemies, and these ... normal. Sasha gave his son a color TV. Friends, before a color TV was a luxury - mostly the people had black and white. Irina made a cooler gift - a motorcycle "Java". The dream of any Soviet teenager. Igor took the gifts without enthusiasm - for granted. Sasha saw that his gift was much inferior to Irina's. Parents with such gifts ... sort of ... paid off what they could not give their son full-fledged parental love. Sofya Sergeevna understood this, and Igor understood. When everyone dispersed, he said to his grandmother: - It's good that they got divorced. Otherwise, they would not have presented a motorcycle with a TV. Then they will give you a car. And then I marry a millionaire. As Father! Igor offered to ride a motorcycle grandmother. And he drove ... I brought my grandmother to her house, where she lived 40 years ago. And then he said that he found an old man who once knew her. The old man told the whole truth. - Did you tell them? Grandma asked. - Not. They do not know. Why did you hide everything? Explain to me ... And Sophia told. With Zhenya they were twins. Sophia was born 15 minutes earlier. Zhenya was in her mother, Sophia was in her father. The sisters were friends and loved each other. Dreamed of big and bright love. And Zhenya was the first to receive this love. At 19, she got married. It was January 1942. Six months ago, the war began. A month ago, my parents were killed by a bomb. And then the joyful Zhenya comes running with the major, whom she knew all day. The pilot's name was Andrew. Zhenya asked Sophia ... to take a walk somewhere. - What are you doing? You don't know him, do you? Maybe he has a family? - Don't care. I want to fuck. I love him. And he me. We will get married ... Andrei was serious. He told Sophia that he loved Zhenya. Got married. Sasha was born in October. Andrei was next to him ... He did not die in the war ... A year later, when Zhenya was expecting her second child, Andrei came to say goodbye - he was transferred to another front. On the way home, he stood up for the old woman, from whom the gopniks took away her handbag. He was stabbed and died in a square near the metro, not far from home. Zhenya was the first to know about it. When Sophia came home from work, her sister was sitting on the table, in a winter coat, dangling her legs and humming: - I'm a little ballerina ... It looked like Zhenya's roof had been torn off: her lips bitten into blood, her yellow face ... Her grief crippled her - she began to drink, turned gray. At 21. But she was pregnant ... Ali's daughter had a birth injury. Doctors suggested not to take the child - Zhenya took it. But the sister's psyche turned out to be weak - she could not stand it. She drank a lot of sleeping pills and ... died. Sophia was offered to give the children to the state, but she refused. And then I decided to cut off all ties with past life and moved to another city. Only that she also loved her sister's husband Sophia did not tell her grandson. She never had a man in her entire life!!! ... After the war, there were many women without men. And she is also with two children ... In general, it did not work out. Sophia asked Igor not to tell anyone about her secret. He swore to remain silent. Igor asked his grandmother not to leave. But at home was Alya, who needed her constantly. That's why she flew home. They escorted her with the whole delegation. Irina at parting promised to name the child, if it was a girl, Sonya. She gave birth to a boy. And then Sophia's son called and said that Igor had crashed ... He crashed into a truck. On the circle, Igor did not give way. Sophia decided that he did it on purpose. She said the following phrase to her son: - When a person is not needed by relatives, he dies. The son did not understand what she was talking about. - When a person is not needed by relatives, he dies. Sophia repeated again. She decided that it was God who punished Sasha and Irina in such a way for their inhumanity. The highest measure of punishment. You can't achieve happiness by thinking only about yourself... Here's a story, friends...

Terrible, long, difficult four years. These are the farewell of the father to the front, the work of the mother in the hospital, communication with her grandmother, Maria Vasilievna.

Like the heroes of his future books, he went hungry, went to classes in a cold unheated school, helped adults, wrote letters to the front and waited for his father to return. All this and much - much more will later become that rich literary basis for numerous works, reading which we think about our past, present, and future.

It is difficult to name a book by A.A. Likhanov, in which he would not speak at all about the war, about wartime, which influenced the characters and fates of children and adolescents. The military theme in the writer's work acquires special significance and organicity, because it embodies his idea of ​​life values, honor, duty, heroism, and human dignity. Albert Likhanov says: “The war was difficult for everyone: soldiers and generals, men and women. But the kids had it the hardest.”

A.A. Likhanov wrote a number of remarkable works about military childhood. In them, he conveys the feelings experienced during the Great Patriotic War.

Tale "The Beloved Aids Store", "Last Cold", "Children's Library" form a kind of trilogy about military childhood. They are close in tone, written in the same psychological key, told by the same hero - the boy Kolya.

Tale "Last Cold"(1984) is one of the most dramatic works about military childhood. Like other works of this cycle, it is addressed not only to children, but also to adults - parents, teachers. The story in the work is conducted on behalf of the boy Kolya, a third grade student. The story is written in the form of a boy's thoughts about himself, about life, about his parents, friends, school teachers. This book is about mercy, about kindness, about humanity. She teaches to be sensitive to someone else's misfortune. Based on the story, a film of the same name was made in 1993.

Likhanov touches on the military theme in the story "Military Echelon" in the novel "My general".

The book "My General" (1975), the genre of which Likhanov defined as a novel for children, he addresses to adolescents and youth. This novel is about love for people, one's country, about the spiritual experiences of the hero - a student modern school, about the great and complex life of the country. The novel was among the works for which the author was awarded the State Prize. N.K. Krupskaya, translated into foreign languages. It was made into a film of the same name.

novel in stories "Russian Boys" and romance "Men's School" constitute a dilogy about military operations.

In the story "Steep mountains" the author raises actual problems character development and moral education teenagers. Shows how children develop and learn in a complex war time, reveals the origins of the birth of love for the Motherland.

The little hero of the story "The Steep Mountains" Kolya has to quickly learn a lot of sad concepts that the war brought with it. My father went to war, and everyone began to miss him. Especially little Kolya. Seeing off his father to the war, he still did not understand anything, rejoiced, waving affably after him. The farewell to my father was completely different for the second time, after a short meeting: “I rushed to my father ... hugged, eagerly inhaled my father’s smells, trying to remember them, and barely restrained myself so as not to cry.” Kolya lacked paternal support, protection and help. And what is the war the boy learned gradually.

At first, these were letters, or rather postcards, on which a woman was drawn and the inscription “The Motherland is calling!”. Then food stamps. And when the flour was over, Colin's mother took out another dress from the wardrobe and changed it for food.

A cruel joke, a prank on the neighbors. Only in this way at the beginning did the hero of the story appreciate the theft: “I was shaking all over, I was shaking - the theft only reached my consciousness.” Traces of cruel and merciless force caused a protest in the soul of the child, a desire to settle scores. After they were robbed and everything of value was taken out of the house: things, dad's suit, money, food coupons, after two days of hunger, Kolya's mother could not stand it and, in order to save the boy, went and donated blood for food rations.

Donor ration. What price was paid for it: “I looked at the bags that lay in front of me, peered into my mother’s face and cried because I turned out to be a scoundrel. After all, I ate, as it were, my mother's blood, and it was terrible ... ".

In the second military autumn, Kolya went to school. The school was old, small, not adapted for so many students. But large and comfortable schools were given to the wounded as hospitals. Because there was a war. And they wrote on newspapers, not on notebooks, because the factories where notebooks were made were destroyed. And instead of light bulbs, kerosene stoves were burning, because there was not enough energy for the factories that were working at full capacity to make more shells.

The image of the teacher Anna Nikolaevna is interesting. Strict, always taut, she commanded the respect of the students: “ She walked along narrow corridors, lit candles ... she saw everything, understood everything ... and most of all she did not like deception. The funeral that came to her made Kolya realize that there was no getting away from the war.

It was Anna Nikolaevna who led her students to the ambulance train, where they first saw the wounded and dead soldiers. It left its mark on their souls. After that, Kolya began to think about the war and hate it. After all, the war took away his childhood, and not only from him, but from many children. And the boy decided for himself that in order to somehow help the Motherland, he would study well, sew pouches and hate the Nazis.

A whole basket of pouches for fighters. Then, distributing pouches to the fighters, the boys will not be able to hold back their tears, because the fighters shouted to them "Hurrah!". This will never be forgotten, no matter how much time passes.

Kolya understood the price of love for his mother, for his grandmother, for his father, who might not return from the war, for the soldiers who defended their homeland, so that children like him could live and study.

At the end of the story, we see the main character seeing off a silent echelon with people ready to fight.

“... The train was leaving for the war. The war continued... And there was a lot ahead of everything. I have steep mountains. Father has difficult days ... ".

Vladimir Nabokov said: "The real merit of a writer is the ability to excite others in awe." Such a writer for children and adults is Albert Anatolyevich Likhanov.
