Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory...
Born into an old noble family. Received a diverse education. In 1806 he entered Moscow University, in 1810 he graduated from the faculties of literature and law, then studied at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. In 1812 he volunteered for the army, but did not take part in hostilities. In 1817 he was enrolled in the College of Foreign Affairs.
"Woe from Wit" is the main work of Alexander Griboedov. The idea of "Woe from Wit" and the content of the comedy are connected with the ideas of the Decembrists. Staged for the first time in Moscow in 1831, Griboyedov's comedy has been a realistic school for many generations of Russian actors until our time.
. “...Respect for Russia and its demands, that’s what I need.” In September 1826, Griboedov continued his diplomatic activities; since 1827 he was entrusted with managing relations with Turkey and Iran. At the end of the Russian-Iranian war of 1826-1828, he participated in the development of the Turkmanchay Peace Treaty, beneficial for Russia, the text of which was delivered to St. Petersburg in March 1828.
I met her in Tiflis... I delved into her features: That was the shadow of spring, in the shadow of autumn beauty. Neither cheerful nor sad, - Wherever she was, Silence reigned everywhere on her face. Sent in April 1828 as the plenipotentiary resident minister (ambassador) to Iran, Griboyedov treated this appointment as a political exile. On his way to Iran, Griboyedov again spent several months in Georgia; in Tbilisi he married Nina Chavchavadze, the daughter of his friend, the Georgian prince and poet A. Chavchavadze.
Nina Chavchavadze-Griboyedova
Fearing the strengthening of Russian influence in Iran, agents of British diplomacy and reactionary Tehran circles, dissatisfied with the peace with Russia, set a fanatical crowd against the Russian mission. During the defeat of the mission, Alexander Sergeevich Griboedov was killed. He was buried in Tbilisi on Mount David.
Nina Chavchavadze and Alexander Griboedov were married for only six months. In 1857, cholera broke out in Tiflis. The princess refused to leave the city, fell ill and died. On the arch there is an inscription in Georgian: “Here lies the ashes of Griboyedov. This monument was erected by his wife Nina, daughter of the poet Alexander Chavchavadze, in the year 1832.”

Lermontov spoke amazingly about our places in his work “Taman”. At this time, Taman was a small seaside terminus of the bumpy road from Temryuk. From here Lermontov had to go to Gelendzhik. The poet accidentally ended up in the house of smugglers, which served as material for writing a story.
I.P. Pokhitonov - Kuban artist-peredvizhniki The famous Kuban artist Ivan Pavlovich Pokhitonov was very talented, but the surprising thing is that he did not graduate from the academy or even an art school: he was self-taught. In 1901, Pokhitonov bought an estate in Belarus, where he created dozens of picturesque miniatures. He receives an order from the Russian government to paint ten paintings from the history of the liberation war in Bulgaria. For these works, on October 25, 1904, he was elected academician of painting, and in 1904 he became a member of the “Association of Itinerants”.
The revolution in 1905 unsettles him and he leaves for Belgium. After the abdication of Nicholas II, it moved south, to Ekaterinodar. At first he was struck by the city itself, with endless streets, with a surprisingly small number of large buildings. Yes, and the center seemed to him inconspicuous, everyday: few good shops, no solid hotels, no restaurants - more and more coffee shops. For the winter, the artist went to Goryachy Klyuch. His paintings “Yard under the snow” and “Hot Spring” are famous. In Ekaterinodar, Pokhitonov became friends with F.I. Kovalenko, who, loving art, went broke buying paintings. From February 10 to March 10, 1919, Kovalenko held a personal exhibition of Pokhitonov. After the exhibition, Pokhitonov left the city and went to Ukraine, where he later died.
Creation of the first Kuban newspaper On March 30, 1863, the first issue of the newspaper "Kubanskiye Vedomosti" was published. It was printed on two grades of paper - gray and white, which is why the price of an annual subscription differed. The issue consisted of an official and an unofficial part. The latter included Kuban news and reprints from St. Petersburg newspapers. In 1864 there was a delay in the publication of the newspaper. The next issue came out only on April 4. A few years later, the newspaper became known as the Kuban Regional Vedomosti. With the appointment of Karmalin as the chief ataman of the Kuban Cossack army in 1873, Vedomosti became more interesting. From the nineteenth issue of 1897, E.D. became the editor of the unofficial part. Felitsyn is a dedicated, tireless researcher. With it, a section of generally useful knowledge and information is introduced, not a single outstanding event goes unnoticed. The newspaper becomes topical.

First literary experiments. First literary experiments. They begin with their university years. Once he read excerpts from a comedy, and, according to his listeners, these were already the first sketches of Woe from Wit. His mother, Nastasya Fedorovna, did not approve of her son's hobby and shamed him in the presence of strangers. Griboedov's early literary experiments were also the comedies "Young Spouses" (1815), "Own Family" (1817, co-authored with A. A. Shakhovsky and N. I. Khmelnitsky). In the comedy "Student" (1817, together with P. A. Katenin), the future realist-satirist is already visible. The Griboyedov militia in 1812 could not help but be carried away by the general patriotic enthusiasm. However, even here the influence of relatives affected - he entered the hussar regiment of Saltykov as a cornet.

Griboyedov Alexander Sergeevich 1795-1829 Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory
A.S. Griboyedov was born on January 4 (15), 1795. Griboedov's parents were rich landowners who owned two thousand serfs. Griboyedov spent his childhood and teenage years in Moscow in his mother’s house at 17 Novinsky Boulevard.
Having received an excellent education at home, in 1806, at eleven years of age, he entered the Moscow University Noble Boarding School, and upon graduation, entered the university. By 1812, he had passed three faculties - verbal, legal and mathematical, in addition, he spoke French, German, English, Italian, independently studied Latin and Greek, and subsequently studied Persian, Arabic, Turkish.
Service. Petersburg. With the beginning of the Patriotic War of 1812, Griboyedov left his academic studies and joined the Moscow Hussar Regiment as a cornet. Military service (as part of reserve units) brought him together with D. N. Begichev and his brother S. N. Begichev, who became a close friend of Griboyedov.
After retiring (early 1816), Griboyedov settled in St. Petersburg and was assigned to serve in the Collegium of Foreign Affairs. He leads a secular lifestyle, moves in theatrical and literary circles in St. Petersburg (gets close to the circle of A. A. Shakhovsky), and writes and translates for the theater.
As a result of “ardent passions and powerful circumstances” (A.S. Pushkin) there were dramatic changes in his fate - in 1818 Griboyedov was appointed secretary of the Russian diplomatic mission to Persia (not the least role in this kind of exile was played by his participation as a second in the duel A P. Zavadsky with V. V. Sheremetev, which ended with the death of the latter).
A masterpiece of Russian classics The history of the creation of the comedy “Woe from Wit” After three years of service in Tabriz, Griboedov transferred to Tiflis. Acts 1 and 2 of “Woe from Wit” were written there, their first listener was the author’s Tiflis colleague V.K. Kuchelbecker. By the autumn of 1824 the comedy was completed. Only excerpts published in 1825 by F.V. Bulgarin in the almanac “Russian Waist” were able to pass through censorship (the first complete publication in Russia - 1862; the first production on the professional stage - 1831).
Museum autograph, sheets of the 1st and 3rd comedy "Woe from Wit"
The success of Griboyedov's comedy, which has taken a strong place among Russian classics, is largely determined by the harmonious combination in it of the urgently topical and timeless. At the same time, “Woe from Wit” is an example of artistic synthesis of the traditional and innovative: paying tribute to the canons of classicism aesthetics (unity of time, place, action, conventional roles, mask names)
Nevertheless, Griboyedov’s creation immediately became an event in Russian culture, spreading among the reading public in handwritten copies, the number of which was close to the book circulation of that time; already in January 1825, I. I. Pushchin brought Pushkin to the Mikhailovskoye list of “Woe from Wit.”
The accuracy and aphoristic precision of the language, the successful use of free (various) iambic, conveying the element of colloquial speech, allowed the text of the comedy to retain its sharpness and expressiveness; as Pushkin predicted, many lines of “Woe from Wit” became proverbs and sayings (“The legend is fresh, but hard to believe,” “Happy people do not watch the clock,” etc.).
Through the brilliantly drawn picture of Russian society of the pre-Decembrist era, “eternal” themes are discerned: the conflict of generations, the drama of a love triangle, the antagonism of personality. Griboyedov “enlivens” the scheme with conflicts and characters taken from life, freely introducing lyrical, satirical and journalistic lines into the comedy.
“Woe from mind!
In the fall of 1825, Griboyedov returned to the Caucasus, but already in February 1826 he again found himself in St. Petersburg - as a suspect in the Decembrist case (there were many reasons for the arrest: during interrogations 4 Decembrists, including S.P. Trubetskoy and E.P. Obolensky, named Griboedov among the members of the secret society; lists of “Woe from Wit”, etc. were found in the papers of many of those arrested). Warned by Ermolov about the impending arrest, Griboyedov managed to destroy part of his archive. During the investigation, he categorically denies his involvement in the conspiracy. At the beginning of June, Griboedov was released from arrest with a “cleaning certificate.” Under arrest and investigation
Diplomatic field Upon his return to the Caucasus (autumn 1826), Griboyedov took part in several battles of the Russian-Persian War. Achieves significant success in the diplomatic field (according to N.N. Muravyov-Karsky, Griboyedov “replaced... with his single person an army of twenty thousand”), and is preparing, among other things, the Turkmanchay Peace Treaty, which will be beneficial for Russia.
Conclusion of the Turkmanchay Treaty (from lithograph by Moshkov)
Having brought the documents of the peace treaty to St. Petersburg (March 1828), he received awards and a new appointment - minister plenipotentiary (ambassador) to Persia. Instead of literary pursuits, to which he dreamed of devoting himself, Griboyedov is forced to accept a high position.
Last months Griboedov's last departure from the capital (June 1828) was tinged with gloomy forebodings. On his way to Persia, he stops for some time in Tiflis. He has plans for economic transformations in Transcaucasia.
In August he marries A. G. Chavchavadze’s 16-year-old daughter, Nina, and goes with her to Persia.
Tragic death Among other things, the Russian minister is engaged in sending captive Russian citizens to their homeland. The appeal to him for help by two Armenian women who ended up in the harem of a noble Persian was the reason for reprisals against the active and successful diplomat. On January 30, 1829, a crowd incited by Muslim fanatics destroyed the Russian mission in Tehran. The Russian envoy was killed.
The remains of Griboyedov were transported to Russian borders extremely slowly. Only on May 2 the coffin arrived in Nakhichevan. And on June 11, not far from the Gergery fortress, a significant meeting took place, described by Pushkin in “Journey to Arzrum”: “I moved across the river. Two oxen harnessed to a cart were climbing a steep road. Several Georgians accompanied the cart. "Where are you from?" - I asked. - “From Tehran.” - “What are you bringing?” - “Mushroom eater.”
A.S. Griboyedov was buried in Tiflis on Mount St. David. On the gravestone are the words of Nina Griboedova: “Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory, but why did my love survive you?”

Meeting During his next stay in the Caucasus (June 1829), A.S. Pushkin met a cart drawn by two oxen on the border of Georgia with Armenia. Several Georgians accompanied her. “Where are you from?” asked the poet. - “From Tehran.” - “What are you bringing?” - “Mushroom eater.” This was the body of one of the most remarkable people of the early 19th century - A.

Birth, study, service A. S. Griboedov was born in Moscow into a wealthy, well-born family. Those around him were struck by his unusually early rapid development. In the city he studies at Moscow University and graduates from the faculties of law and philosophy. The Patriotic War of 1812 prevented him from graduating from the third faculty of mathematics and natural sciences. Griboedov voluntarily entered the Moscow Hussar Regiment as a cornet, then was transferred to the Irkutsk Regiment. But since both regiments were in reserve, he did not have to participate in hostilities.
Memoirs of the writer Ksenophon Polevoy “We were talking about the power of man over himself. Griboyedov argued that his power is limited only by physical impossibility, but that in everything else a person can completely command himself and even make everything out of himself: “I say this because I have experienced a lot on myself. For example, during the last Persian campaign. During the battle I happened to be with Prince Suvorov. A cannonball from an enemy battery hit near the prince, showered him with earth, and at the first moment I thought that he had been killed. The prince was only shell-shocked, but I felt an involuntary trembling and could not drive away the disgusting feeling of timidity. This offended me terribly. So, am I a coward at heart? The thought is unbearable for a decent person, and I decided, no matter what the cost, to cure myself of timidity... I wanted not to tremble in front of the cannonballs in the face of death, and at the first opportunity I stood in a place where shots from an enemy battery reached. There I counted the shots I had assigned myself and then, quietly turning my horse, I calmly rode away.” “We were talking about the power of a person over himself.

Griboedov was a very educated man. In 1816, Griboyedov left military service and was assigned to the College of Foreign Affairs. Griboedov was a very educated man. He spoke several European languages, studied ancient and oriental languages, read a lot, studied music, and was not only a keen connoisseur of musical works, but also composed them himself.

Memories of Griboedov “He could not and did not want to hide either his mockery of sugar-coated and self-satisfied stupidity, or his contempt for low sophistication, or his indignation at the sight of a happy vice. No one will boast of his flattery, no one will dare to say that they heard a lie from him. He could deceive himself, but never deceive.” (actor P. A. Karatygin) “He could not and did not want to hide either mockery of sugar-coated and self-satisfied stupidity, or contempt for low sophistication, or indignation at the sight of a happy vice. No one will boast of his flattery, no one will dare to say that they heard a lie from him. He could deceive himself, but never deceive.” (actor P. A. Karatygin) “He was modest and condescending among friends, but was very quick-tempered, arrogant and irritable when he met people he didn’t like. Here he was ready to find fault with them over trifles, and woe to anyone who got under his skin, because his sarcasms were irresistible.” (Decembrist A. Bestuzhev) “He was modest and condescending among friends, but was very quick-tempered, arrogant and irritable when he met people he didn’t like. Here he was ready to find fault with them over trifles, and woe to anyone who got under his skin, because his sarcasms were irresistible.” (Decembrist A. Bestuzhev) Memoirs of A. S. Pushkin - textbook p.-78.
The dream of a free life It is generally accepted that Griboyedov’s house was ruled by his mother, who was cruel to her serfs. Therefore, from a young age, Alexander lived "mind and heart" in another world. He belonged to that circle of progressive noble youth who were opposed to violence and greedily dreamed of a new “free” life. Already at the university boarding house, Griboedov communicated closely with many future active participants in the Decembrist movement. In 1817, Griboedov took part in a duel as a second. After this difficult event, he feels the need to say goodbye to St. Petersburg. He was offered to go to diplomatic service either in the USA or in Persia. He chose Persia.

The idea is “Woe from Wit”. Appointed ambassador of the newly formed Russian mission at the court of the Shah of Persia, Griboyedov sets off on a long journey to the East, where he was destined to spend his best years. It was in Persia that the final plan for “Woe from Wit” matured. This is Griboedov’s best work, although not the only one... It was preceded by several dramatic works, as well as lightweight, elegant “secular” comedies - stereotyped according to the French model.

The only thing that managed to be done after much trouble was to print excerpts with censored edits.

The arrest of the Griboyedovs constantly circulated in the Decembrist circle. When the uprising occurred, the playwright was in the Caucasus. Here in the Grozny fortress he was arrested on January 22, 1826 “by the highest command - on suspicion of belonging to a secret society.” During the 4 months of imprisonment he was interrogated several times; he denied his participation in the Decembrist affair, and his lyceum student friends confirmed his testimony.
