In the scientific world he is known for his works on the history of Southeast Asia.

The first science fiction publications of the writer - a hoax story "The Duty of Hospitality" (1965; printed as translated, the author specifies "Burmese prose writer Maun Sein Gee") and a selection of short stories "The Girl With Which Nothing Happens" (1965). The stories about the adventures on Earth and in space of the 21st century girl Alisa Selezneva, with whom Bulychev made his debut in science fiction, marked the beginning of a long series that brought the author significant success and popularity among teenage readers. The stories about Alice, first published in various anthologies (and reprinted many times), compiled the collections "Girl from Earth" (1974), "A Hundred Years Ahead" (1978), "A Million Adventures" (1982), "Girl from the Future" ( 1984), Fidget (1985), Prisoners of an Asteroid (1988), Alice's New Adventures (1990).

Kir Bulychev is characterized by a craving for the creation of cycles of works, united by heroes, a plot basis, a common idea and style. Another cycle of the writer's works is the town of Veliky Guslyar. It has its own geographical prototype - Veliky Ustyug. Bulychev invented about 70 stories and stories about the Great Guslyar and its inhabitants, which were partially combined into the collection "Miracles in Guslyar" (1972).

The cycle about Alice organically adjoins the cycle of novels about the comic doctor Pavlysh, the prototype of which was Vladislav Pavlyh, the ship's doctor of the dry-cargo ship "Segezha". The cycle includes one of Bulychev's best early stories "The Snow Maiden" (1973), the story "The Great Spirit and the Fugitives" (1972), "Law for the Dragon" (1975) and the novel "The Last War" (1970) - one of the few Soviet literature works describing the consequences of a nuclear war, however, on another planet.

Works of short form compiled the collections "People as People" (1975), "Summer Morning" (1979), "Pass" (1983), "Abduction of the Sorcerer" (1989), "Coral Castle" (1990).

Fantastic elements are also contained in a number of historical and adventure books by Bulychev - the story "The Sword of General Bandula" (1968) and the novel "The other day the earthquake in Ligon" (1980).

In the 1990s, the writer tried to significantly expand the subject matter of his works. Bulychev's collection "Apology" (1990) includes stories of different levels and themes. He wrote detective stories (mini-cycle "Lydia Berestova"), poetry, plays.

Beginning in 1989, Bulychev worked on the great novel "The Chronos River", the first parts of which were published in 1993-1994. The novel developed into the "Chronos" cycle, which consisted of several novels.

Bulychev also actively appeared with literary critical publications - essays, afterwords, journalistic articles devoted to the history and problems of science fiction or the work of individual writers. Among the critical works, the historical and critical essay "The Stepdaughter of the Epoch" (1989) stands out, which is an outline for a book that tells about the dramatic fate of Soviet science fiction during its formation (1917-1940); also an essay on the life and work of the outstanding American writer Robert Heinlein, a number of afterwords to collections of foreign writers.

He translated fantastic works of English and American writers into Russian.

All the tales and fiction of Igor Mozheiko were written under the pseudonyms Kir (Kirill) Bulychev and some others (Nikolai Lozhkin, Lev Khristoforovich Mints, Yuri Mitin), under his last name he wrote only popular science works and acted as a research fellow. In 1982, the pseudonym was disclosed due to the fact that the writer received the State Prize for the script for the films "The Mystery of the Third Planet" and "Through Thorns to the Stars".

More than 20 of Bulychev's works have been screened, in particular, based on the story "One Hundred Years Ahead" (1977), a five-part film "Guest from the Future" was shot - one of the most popular Soviet films for children in the mid-1980s.

The material was prepared on the basis of information from open sources

Has various associations. It was only from the second half of the sixties in the USSR that girls began to be called in honor of one book heroine. And it was not Alice Lewis Carroll at all. Such popularity was enjoyed by Alisa Selezneva from a series of fantastic works created by the wonderful Soviet writer Kir Bulychev.

Biography of the writer in childhood

The real name of everyone's beloved science fiction writer is Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko. He took the pseudonym Kir Bulychev out of fear that he could be fired from his job, since there being engaged in literature, especially fiction, was not considered worthy.

He was born in Moscow one October day in 1934. The boy's father belonged to an old Belarusian-Lithuanian noble family. However, in his youth, he broke off relations with him and began to live by his own labor. In 1925 he married Maria Bulycheva, a pencil factory worker.

When young Igor was barely five years old, his father left the family, and his mother married a second time. Thanks to this marriage, the writer had a sister, Natasha.

Study and creativity

After graduating from school, Kir Bulychev began to study foreign languages ​​at the Maurice Torez Institute. After graduation, he worked for several years as a translator in Burma. Later he returned to his hometown and began to study oriental studies at the graduate school of the Institute of the Academy of Sciences. After graduation, he remained there as a teacher of the history of Burma.

In subsequent years, the biography of Kir Bulychev was marked by scientific achievements: he defended his Ph.D., and a little later, his doctoral dissertation. In addition, while working at the institute, Bulychev wrote many scientific works about Southeast Asia, in particular about Burma.

In addition to work, in his free time, Kir Bulychev published various notes and essays for such eminent publications as "Around the World" and "Asia and Africa Today".

The first work of fiction by Bulychev was the story "Maung Joe Will Live", published in 1961. However, the author began to write fantastic works only four years later, and the short story "The Duty of Hospitality" became the "firstborn".

Pretty soon, the works of Igor Mozheiko, writing under the pseudonym Kir Bulychev, began to enjoy the love of readers. And a little later, his stories and stories began to be published as separate books.

In 1977, his story "One Hundred Years Ahead" was filmed. The multi-part motion picture, based on her motives, was called "Guest from the Future". Thanks to her, the entire USSR met the inquisitive schoolgirl Alisa Selezneva, who lives in the second half of the 21st century.

After the incredible success of the film adaptation, the biography of Kir Bulychev was not particularly filled with bright events. As before, he continued to write a lot, and his works were liked by the readers. Quite often, he was engaged in adapting his stories and novellas for screenplays. By the way, about twenty of Bulychev's works were filmed.

In addition to a successful creative career, the personal life of a writer named Kir Bulychev was just great. His wife became his pen colleague, writer Kira Soshinskaya, who became an illustrator of Bulychev's works. From this union, a daughter, Alice, was born, in whose honor the famous heroine was named.

With the advent of the difficult nineties, the writer remained popular, and his work remained interesting for readers. In addition, in those difficult years, the biography of Kir Bulychev was enriched by one remarkable fact: he saved the magazine "If" from closure.

At the beginning of the two thousandth, the writer was diagnosed with cancer, because of which he died in the fall of 2003.

The biography of Kir Bulychev may not be filled with bright events, like that of Alisa Sezezneva, but he received many well-deserved prestigious awards and prizes. Among them are the State Prize of the USSR, the All-Russian Prize "Aelita", "Order of the Knights of Fantasy" named after I. Khalymbadzhi ”and the Russian Literary Prize after which he was awarded posthumously in 2004.

Series of works about Alisa Selezneva

Despite the fact that the writer's works comprise almost twenty volumes, the greatest popularity to Kir Bulychev was brought by a series of stories and stories about Alisa Selezneva, named after the author's own daughter.

In total, he dedicated 52 works to his beloved heroine. In them, she traveled to other planets, found herself in the past, a parallel fairy-tale dimension and many other places. Throughout her literary "life" Selezneva often met with a wide variety of people and creatures from other planets and eras. However, most often the participants in the girl's adventures were her father, Professor Igor Seleznev (named after the writer himself), as well as the four-armed archaeologist Gromozek from an alien planet.

Some of the stories featured the girl's friends and classmates.

For the first time this heroine appeared in 1965 on the pages of the story "The girl with whom nothing happens." She soon gained popularity, especially after the release of movies and cartoons. On the screen, Alisa Selezneva was embodied by such actresses as Natalya Guseva ("Guest from the Future", "Purple Ball"), Ekaterina Prizhbiljak ("The Island of the Rusty General"), Daria Melnikova (the film was never shot, but the girl voiced the heroine in the animated series “Alice Knows What to Do”) and other Polish and Slovak actresses.

A cycle of works about the inhabitants of the city of Veliky Guslyar

Another famous series by Kir Bulychev was a cycle of humorous works about the life of the inhabitants of the town of Veliky Guslyar (prototype - Veliky Ustyug). The writer dedicated more than a hundred stories and stories to this fictional town.

There are no main characters in this series, although many characters are present in several works at once. The first story in this series was Personal Ties.
At the beginning of the 2000s, Kir Bulychev officially announced the end of the cycle, justifying his action by the fact that the idea has outlived itself and is no longer interesting to him. All written works from "The Great Guslar" Kir Bulychev himself divided into six parts, grouping them into collections.

Based on the cycle, several cartoons, two short films and one TV movie "Chance" were shot.

Other works of the writer

In addition to these two cycles, Bulychev's creative heritage contains many individual works, as well as small series from two to ten novels. The most popular of these are three cycles.

1) Novels about Andrey Bruce - a brave agent from the Space Fleet ("Agent of the Space Fleet" and "The Witches' Dungeon"). Based on the second novel, a film of the same name was filmed.

2) Another hero who appeared in many of Bulychev's works is Dr. Pavlysh. One novel "Countryside" and eight other, less voluminous works are dedicated to him.

3) The heroine of many other works by Kir Bulychev, Cora Horvat, is a kind of matured version of Alisa Selezneva. However, instead she is interested in solving crimes. It is noteworthy that in some works she intersects with Alice.

In order not to lose his job at the institute, Igor Mozheiko first took the pseudonym Kirill Bulychev. But when published, this pseudonym was often abbreviated as Cyrus. Bulychev. After a while, due to a misprint, the dot disappeared, and the resulting name suited the writer.

The surname for the pseudonym was taken by Igor Vsevolodovich from his mother: her maiden name was Maria Bulycheva. And Cyrus is the male version of the name of the writer's wife, Kira Soshinskaya.

It is noteworthy that for a long time most readers did not even suspect who was hiding behind the name Kir Bulychev. Only in 1982 the secret was revealed, as the writer was awarded the USSR State Prize.

Possessing excellent knowledge of the English language, Kir Bulychev translated into Russian the fantastic works of many famous writers from the United States.

Unlike his literary heroes, the biography of Kir Bulychev for children and adults does not contain many bright or interesting events. Moreover, young readers may find it rather boring. However, all this was more than offset by the irrepressible imagination of the author, who managed to create a whole world described in several hundred beautiful works. And if we paraphrase the words of the classic, we can say that with his work Kir Bulychev erected a miraculous monument to himself in the hearts of many generations of readers.

The author of the monographs "Course of General Photography" (with co-authors, 1936), "Optical Sensitization of Photographic Layers" (1937), "Color Photography" (1939), "Instructions for Obtaining Color Images by the Chromo-Color Method" (1940), "Theory and the practice of color photography ”(1941). Ya. I. Bokinik worked as a researcher in the laboratory of A.I. Rabinovich at the Scientific Research Cinema and Photo Institute (NIKFI), where he was engaged in the development of the adsorption theory of photographic development, research on the effect of adsorption on the sensitizing effect of dyes and the susceptibility of emulsions to optical sensitization. The younger sister of the future science fiction writer Natalya was born in the new family. Stepfather died at the front in the last days of the Great Patriotic War, on May 7, 1945 in Courland.

After graduating from school, Igor entered the Komsomol assignment, which he graduated in 1957. For two years he worked in Burma as a translator and correspondent for the APN, in 1959 he returned to Moscow and entered the postgraduate course of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. He wrote historical and geographical essays for the magazines Around the World and Asia and Africa Today. In 1962 he graduated from graduate school, since 1963 he worked at the Institute of Oriental Studies, specializing in the history of Burma. In 1965 he defended his Ph.D. thesis on the topic "Pagan state (XI-XIII centuries)", in 1981 - his doctoral thesis on the topic "Buddhist sangha and the state in Burma." In the scientific community, he is known for his works on the history of Southeast Asia.

The first story, Maung Joe Will Live, was published in 1961. He began to write science fiction in 1965, published fantastic works exclusively under a pseudonym. The first fantastic work, the short story "The Duty of Hospitality", was published as "a translation of the story of the Burmese writer Maun Sein Gee." This name Bulychev later used several more times, but most of the fantastic works were published under the pseudonym "Kirill Bulychev" - the pseudonym was composed of the name of his wife and the maiden name of the writer's mother. Subsequently, the name "Cyril" on the covers of the books began to be written in abbreviated form - "Kir." There was also a combination of Kirill Vsevolodovich Bulychev. The writer kept his real name a secret until 1982, because he believed that the leadership of the Institute of Oriental Studies would not consider science fiction a serious occupation, and was afraid that after the disclosure of the pseudonym he would be fired.

Several dozen books have been published, the total number of published works is hundreds. In addition to writing his own works, he was engaged in translating fantastic works of American writers into Russian.

More than twenty works have been screened, in particular, based on the story “One Hundred Years Ahead” (1977), a five-part film “Guest from the Future” was shot - one of the most popular children's films in the USSR in the mid-1980s. In 1982 he became a laureate of the USSR State Prize for scripts for the feature film "Through the Thorns to the Stars" and the full-length cartoon "The Mystery of the Third Planet". During the presentation of the State Prize, a pseudonym was disclosed, however, the expected dismissal did not take place.

Kir Bulychev was a member of the Creative Councils of science fiction magazines “Midday. XXI century ”and“ If ”. The magazine "If" was even saved by Bulychev in the mid-90s, when it was threatened with financial collapse.

Laureate of the prize in the field of science fiction "Aelita" (1997). Chevalier of the Order of the Knights of Fantasy (2002).

In 2004, Kir Bulychev posthumously became the laureate of the sixth international prize in the field of fantastic literature named after Arkady and Boris Strugatsky ("ABS-prize") in the category "Criticism and journalism", for a series of essays "Stepdaughter of the era".

Creation

Fantastic

In his works, Kir Bulychev willingly turned to previously invented and described characters, which resulted in several cycles of works, each of which describes the adventures of the same heroes.

Some works were first published posthumously. Several stories were found in the writer's archives and were published in 2008-2012: "The Eagle", "The Rooster Cries Late", "The Death of a Poet", "The Shot of Cupid" in the book "Dear Microbe" (2008) in the series "Best Books for XX years "publishing house" Text "," Prisoners of debt "from the cycle about Dr. Pavlysh in the magazine" If "(No. 5, May 2009)," Sixty years later "in" Novaya Gazeta "(No. 106 of September 24, 2010), and "The Yellow Ghost" in the last volume of the three-volume collection "Great Guslar" (2012) by the "Vremya" publishing house. These and other little-known and rare works that were not included in the 18-volume edition of the Eksmo publishing house will be published in a limited edition in a two-volume edition from the For a Narrow Circle series (2015-16).

Alice's Adventures

Perhaps this is the most famous cycle of works by Kir Bulychev. The main heroine of this cycle is a 21st century schoolgirl (in the first stories - still a preschooler) Alisa Selezneva. The author gave the name to the heroine in honor of his daughter Alice, who was born in 1960. The first works of the cycle were the stories that made up the collection "The Girl With Which Nothing Happens". Alice's adventures take place in a variety of places and times: on the Earth of the XXI century, in space, on the ocean floor and even in the past, where she climbs on a time machine, as well as in the Legendary era - a space-time section of the Universe where fairy-tale characters exist, magic, etc. There is even another, “inner” cycle “Alice and her friends in the labyrinths of history”, which tells about the adventures of children of the XXI century in the past. In the first works, Alice was the only child of the main characters, and the narration was conducted on behalf of the cosmobiologist Professor Seleznev, Alice's father (the author, judging by one of the stories, called him by his real name - Igor). Later, the story began to be conducted from the third person, and the main characters, along with Alice, were her peers - classmates and friends. Some of the books in the cycle are aimed at young children. Such books are, in fact, fairy tales, wizards and fairy creatures often act in them, miracles occur. And in more "adult" books there is a noticeable element of fabulousness.

The series of books about Alice is both the most popular and the most controversial. Critics have repeatedly noted that the early stories and stories about Alice were much stronger than the later ones. In later books, a touch of "seriality" appears, there are repetitions of plot moves, there is no lightness. This is understandable: it is impossible for almost forty years at the same high level to constantly write about the same heroes. Bulychev himself has repeatedly said in an interview that he does not want to write about Alice anymore. But the character turned out to be stronger than the author: Alisa Selezneva became the same "eternal hero" as Sherlock Holmes Conan Doyle, and Kir Bulychev periodically returned to her. The last story about Alice - "Alice and Alicia", was completed by the author in 2003, shortly before his death.

Great Guslar

Dr. Pavlysh

Space fiction, traditional for Soviet SF, stories and stories with various plots, telling about the flights of earthlings into space, to other planets and about their adventures there. The cycle unites one common hero - Dr. Vladislav Pavlysh, a space doctor. The prototype was the doctor Vladislav Pavlysh from the ship "Segezha" (the same name Bulychev gave to one of the spaceships on which Dr. Pavlysh flew in the books), with which the writer sailed in the Arctic Ocean. This cycle is not, strictly speaking, a series, it was not created "for the hero." It's just that in the "space" works written at different times and on different topics one and the same person is encountered, and in some works he appears as the main character, in others - as a storyteller, in the third - just as one of many characters. Nine works have been published, including the famous novel "The Village"; some of them came out in parts and under different names. The story "Thirteen Years on the Road" is the first work in the cycle about Dr. Pavlysh.

Andrew Bruce

Andrey Bruce, an agent of the Cosmoflot, is a character in two works - Agent KF and Dungeon of Witches. During his travels for the interplanetary space agency, the hero is faced with the need to show real, genuine courage and determination. In the first novel, Andrei Bruce encounters a conspiracy on the planet Pae-U, in the realities of which the author's familiar Myanmar is recognized. The second novel - "The Witches' Dungeon" (filmed in 1989, the role of Bruce was played by Sergei Zhigunov), is devoted to the consequences of an amazing experiment to accelerate the evolution of flora and fauna, and the social development of people, which was carried out on one distant planet by unknown representatives of a highly developed civilization. The works dedicated to Andrei Bruce are written in a tough, reliable manner, with special attention in them paid to moral and social issues.

Intergalactic Police

A series of books about the adventures of InterGalactic Police Agent Kora Horvat. The time of action approximately corresponds to the time of action of the books about Alice Selezneva. Kora, a girl found in space, was brought up in a boarding school for unusual foundlings, then she was recruited to work in InterGpol by the head of this organization, Commissioner Milodar. The books in this series are fantastic detective stories; in the course of the plot, Cora is engaged in solving crimes and unraveling various mysteries. According to the writer himself, Kora Horvat is a kind of "matured version of Alisa Selezneva." At the same time, Cora is markedly different from Alice in character. In later works, Cora and Alice sometimes intersect, which is why there is an involuntary reference to Fenimore Cooper - in his novel "The Last of the Mohicans" the two heroine sisters are also named Cora and Alice. The cycle also intersects with the cycle about the Great Guslar.

A small series of stories about a certain scientific laboratory engaged in the study of extraordinary phenomena and making fantastic discoveries. The heroes of this cycle are also found in the "Shadow Theater" cycle.

Shadow play

A series of three books: "Old Year", "View of the battle from a height", "Operation" Viper "", which describe the adventures of heroes in a kind of parallel, "shadow" world that exists side by side with ours, ordinary. This world is very similar to ours, but practically deserted. Under certain circumstances, people from here can go there and live there. Someone just lives, and someone immediately finds a way to turn the parallel world into a source of enrichment and satisfaction of the thirst for power. Heroes, common with the cycle "Institute of Expertise", try to explore this world. The protagonist Georgy Alekseevich (Garik) Gagarin is an archaeologist, a foundling alien by origin, found on April 12 in the forest.

Chronos river

Initially a series of four novels: "The Heir", "Storm of Dulber", "Return from Trebizond", "Assassination". The cycle also includes the novels "Preserve for Academicians", "Baby Frey" and several detective novels and novellas written separately. In the cycle, sustained in the genre of alternative history, possible alternative scenarios for the development of Russian history are considered. The heroes of the cycle - Andrei Berestov and Lidochka Ivanitskaya - get the opportunity to travel in time through parallel worlds and witness such events in alternative history as the liberation of the royal family by Kolchak after the 1917 revolution ("Storming of Dulber"), the development of nuclear weapons in the USSR in 1939 ( "Preserve for Academicians") and even the revival of Lenin in an infant in the 1990s ("Baby Frey"). Several detective, non-fiction novels adjoin the cycle: "Sleep, Beauty", "They Don't Kill Such", "House in London".

The events of the works of this cycle take place in the city of Verevkin, which, unlike Guslyar, is not at all funny.

Off-cycle novels and novels

These include a number of significant works.

• The story "Crane in Hands" (1976) describes the life of a parallel world, where there is a protracted feudal war, in which people living in our world intervene.
• In the story “The Abduction of the Sorcerer” (1979), a group of aliens from the future who have penetrated into our time are trying to save and take to their future an outstanding scientist who lived 700 years before our time, who will inevitably perish in the distant Middle Ages. A modern girl, who happened to be in the center of events (the time of action and realities correspond to the moment of writing the story), becomes a witness and participant in their work. In the story, the question of "genius and villainy" arises in the most acute form. The story is characterized by another peculiarity: it first published a text that later came out separately under the title "Commemoration of the XX century." It lists geniuses fictional by the author who, from early childhood, allegedly showed completely outstanding abilities for art, sciences, including independently repeating, often in completely inappropriate environment, the greatest scientific theories, but did not become known because of their death, usually violent, in childhood or adolescence. "Commemoration of the XX century" is a symbol of the fragility of talent and genius. The story was filmed in the form of a television show of the same name (1981) and a film (1989).
• The story "Alien Memory" (1981) tells about complex moral conflicts, the beginning of which was the experiment of the Soviet scientist Rzhevsky, who created his own clone. A younger clone begins to understand the affairs of the original twenty years ago.
• "City Above" (1986), a novel about the adventures of a group of archaeologists on a dead planet, on which, after a devastating war, the remnants of the population continue to live in a huge underground city.

The plot of underground travels was repeatedly used by Bulychev in such works as "We need a free planet", "Subterranean boat", "Shelter" and "Favorite".
• The story Death One Floor Below (1989) describes an ecological disaster in a small provincial Soviet town, which the city administration is trying to hide in every possible way. The action takes place in the era of perestroika. The author devotes many pages to the analysis of the conformism and dissidence of that era.
• The novel "The Mystery of Urulgan" (1991), written in a "retro" style, is dedicated to the amazing and terrible events that began with the fact that a young Englishwoman came to pre-revolutionary Siberia in search of her father, who was a missing Arctic explorer. The travelers, moving along the Lena, arrive at the site of the fall of the Urulgan meteorite, which turned out to be an alien ship with a frozen alien inside.
• The novel "Favorite" (1993), which takes place a hundred years after the conquest of the Earth by non-humanoid aliens (huge reptiles), is devoted to the complex and sometimes ambiguous relationship that the remnants of earthlings have with the invaders: people become pets (a vivid analogy on relationship between man and dog), they are walked on a leash, mated to produce offspring, and even arrange real fights. But there is still resistance intending to throw off the alien oppression.
• The novel "Shelter". The first novel of the planned cycle, a kind of answer to Harry Potter, but the death of the writer left the series unfinished, and the novel "Shelter" itself was released in 2004, when Bulychev was no longer alive. In the novel, the boy Seva has to save a magical people, consisting of characters from fairy tales.

An excerpt characterizing Kir Bulychev

And he again turned to Pierre.
“Sergey Kuzmich, from all sides,” he said, unbuttoning the top button of his vest.
Pierre smiled, but it was evident from his smile that he understood that it was not the anecdote of Sergei Kuzmich that interested Prince Vasily at that time; and Prince Vasily understood that Pierre understood this. Prince Vasily suddenly muttered something and left. It seemed to Pierre that even Prince Vasily was embarrassed. Pierre was moved by the look of this old socialite's embarrassment; he looked back at Helene - and she seemed embarrassed and said with a glance: "Well, you yourself are to blame."
“We must inevitably step over, but I cannot, I cannot,” thought Pierre, and spoke again about the stranger, about Sergei Kuzmich, asking what this anecdote was, since he did not hear it. Helen answered with a smile that she did not know either.
When Prince Vasily entered the drawing-room, the princess spoke quietly with the elderly lady about Pierre.
- Of course, c "est un parti tres brillant, mais le bonheur, ma chere ... - Les Marieiages se font dans les cieux, [Of course, this is a very brilliant party, but happiness, my dear ... - Marriages are made in heaven,] - answered old lady.
Prince Vasily, as if not listening to the ladies, walked into the far corner and sat down on the sofa. He closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing. His head fell, and he woke up.
- Aline, - he said to his wife, - allez voir ce qu "ils font. [Alina, look what they do.]
The princess went to the door, walked past it with a significant, indifferent air, and looked into the drawing-room. Pierre and Helene also sat and talked.
- All the same, - she answered her husband.
Prince Vasily frowned, wrinkled his mouth to one side, his cheeks jumped with his characteristic unpleasant, rude expression; Shaking himself, he got up, threw back his head and with decisive steps, past the ladies, went into the small drawing-room. With rapid steps, he happily approached Pierre. The prince's face was so unusually solemn that Pierre got up in fright when he saw him.
- Thank God! - he said. - My wife told me everything! - He hugged Pierre with one arm, his daughter with the other. - My friend Lelya! I am very, very happy. His voice trembled. - I loved your father ... and she will be a good wife for you ... God bless you! ...
He hugged his daughter, then Pierre again and kissed him with his foul-smelling mouth. Tears really wet his cheeks.
“Princess, come here,” he shouted.
The princess went out and wept too. The elderly lady also wiped herself with a handkerchief. Pierre was kissed, and he kissed the hand of the beautiful Helene several times. After a while they were left alone again.
“All this should have been and could not be otherwise,” thought Pierre, “so there is no need to ask whether this is good or bad? Good, because definitely, and there is no previous tormenting doubt. " Pierre silently held the hand of his bride and looked at her beautiful breasts rising and falling.
- Helen! He said aloud and stopped.
“Something special is said in these cases,” he thought, but he could not remember what it was that was said in these cases. He looked into her face. She moved closer to him. Her face flushed.
“Oh, take off these… like these…” She pointed to the glasses.
Pierre took off his spectacles, and his eyes, in addition to the general strangeness of the eyes of people who had taken off their spectacles, looked frightened inquiringly. He wanted to bend over her hand and kiss her; but with a quick and rough movement of her head she seized his lips and brought them to hers. Her face struck Pierre with its changed, unpleasantly confused expression.
“It's too late now, it's over; and I love her, ”thought Pierre.
- Je vous aime! [I love you!] - he said, remembering what had to be said in these cases; but these words sounded so poor that he felt ashamed of himself.
A month and a half later, he was married and settled, as they said, the happy owner of a beautiful wife and millions, in a large St. Petersburg newly decorated house of the Counts Bezukhikh.

The old prince Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky in December 1805 received a letter from Prince Vasily, informing him of his arrival with his son. (“I am going to the audit, and, of course, I’m not a detour 100 miles to visit you, dear benefactor,” he wrote, “and my Anatol is accompanying me and going to the army; and I hope that you will allow him to personally express to you that deep respect that he, imitating his father, has for you. ")
“You don’t need to take Marie out: the suitors themselves are coming to us,” the little princess said inadvertently, having heard about this.
Prince Nikolai Andreevich winced and said nothing.
Two weeks after receiving the letter, in the evening, the people of Prince Vasily arrived ahead, and the next day he and his son arrived.
The old man Bolkonsky always had a low opinion of the character of Prince Vasily, and even more so recently, when Prince Vasily in the new reigns under Paul and Alexander went far in ranks and honors. Now, at the hints of the letter and the little princess, he understood what was the matter, and a low opinion of Prince Vasily passed in the soul of Prince Nikolai Andreich into a feeling of malevolent contempt. He snorted constantly about him. On the day Prince Vasily arrived, Prince Nikolai Andreevich was especially displeased and out of sorts. Was it because he was out of sorts that Prince Vasily was coming, or because he was especially unhappy with the arrival of Prince Vasily, because he was out of sorts; but he was out of sorts, and Tikhon had advised the architect to come in with a report to the prince even in the morning.
“Hear how he walks,” said Tikhon, drawing the architect’s attention to the sound of the prince’s footsteps. - Steps on the whole heel - we know ...
However, as usual, at 9 o'clock the prince went out for a walk in his velvet coat with a sable collar and the same hat. Snow fell the day before. The path along which Prince Nikolai Andreevich walked to the greenhouse was cleared, traces of a broomstick were visible in the swept snow, and the shovel was stuck into a loose mound of snow that ran on both sides of the path. The prince walked through the greenhouses, through the courtyard and buildings, frowning and silent.
- Is it possible to ride in a sleigh? - He asked the respectable who accompanied him to the house, with a face and manners similar to the owner, manager.
“Snow is deep, your Excellency. I already ordered to scatter on the preshpekt.
The prince bowed his head and went to the porch. "Glory to you, Lord, - thought the manager, - a cloud swept by!"
“It was difficult to pass, Your Excellency,” added the manager. - How was it heard, Your Excellency, that the Minister will come to your Excellency?
The prince turned to the steward and stared at him with frowning eyes.
- What? Minister? Which minister? Who ordered? - he began to speak in his shrill, harsh voice. - For the princess, my daughter, they did not clear it, but for the minister! I have no ministers!
- Your Excellency, I thought ...
- You thought! - shouted the prince, pronouncing the words more and more hastily and incoherently. “You thought ... Robbers! scoundrels! I will teach you to believe, - and, raising the stick, he swung it at Alpatych and would have hit, if the manager had not involuntarily deflected from the blow. - I thought! Scoundrels! He shouted hastily. But, in spite of the fact that Alpatych, himself frightened by his insolence - to deviate from the blow, approached the prince, bowing his bald head in front of him obediently, or, perhaps, precisely from this the prince, continuing to shout: “scoundrels! fill the road! " did not pick up another stick and ran into the rooms.
Before dinner, the princess and m lle Bourienne, who knew that the prince was out of sorts, stood waiting for him: m lle Bourienne with a radiant face that said: "I don't know anything, I am the same as always," and Princess Marya - pale, frightened, with downcast eyes. The hardest thing for Princess Marya was that she knew that in these cases she had to act like m lle Bourime, but she could not do it. It seemed to her: “If I do not notice, he will think that I have no sympathy for him; I will make it so that I myself am boring and out of sorts, he will say (as it happened) that I have hung my nose, "and so on.
The prince looked at his daughter's frightened face and snorted.
- Dr ... or a fool! ... - he said.
“And that one is not! they have been gossiping about her too, ”he thought of the little princess, who was not in the dining room.
- And where is the princess? - he asked. - Hiding? ...
“She’s not quite well,” said m llе Bourienne, smiling cheerfully. “She will not come out. This is so understandable in her position.
- Hm! um! kh! kh! - said the prince and sat down at the table.
The plate didn’t seem clean to him; he pointed to the spot and dropped it. Tikhon picked it up and handed it to the barman. The little princess was not unwell; but she was so overwhelmingly afraid of the prince that, hearing that he was out of sorts, she decided not to go out.
“I’m afraid for the child,” she said to m lle Bourienne. “God knows what fright can do.
In general, the little princess lived in Bald Hills constantly under a feeling of fear and antipathy towards the old prince, which she was not aware of, because fear prevailed so much that she could not feel it. There was also antipathy on the part of the prince, but it was drowned out by contempt. The princess, having settled down in the Bald Hills, especially fell in love with m lle Bourienne, spent her days with her, asked her to spend the night with her, and often talked with her about her father-in-law and judged him.
- Il nous arrive du monde, mon prince, [Guests are coming to us, prince.] - said m lle Bourienne, unrolling a white napkin with her rosy hands. - Son excellence le rince Kouraguine avec son fils, a ce que j "ai entendu dire? [His Excellency Prince Kuraguine with his son, as far as I have heard?]" She said inquiringly.
“Hm… this excellence boy… I assigned him to the college,” the prince said insulted. - And why my son, I can't understand. Princess Lizaveta Karlovna and Princess Marya may know; I do not know why he is bringing this son here. I don’t need it. - And he looked at the reddened daughter.
- Unhealthy, or what? From the minister's fear, as this fool Alpatych said today.
- No, mon pere. [father.]
As unfortunate as M lle Bourienne got on the subject of conversation, she did not stop and chatted about the greenhouses, about the beauty of the new blossoming flower, and the prince softened after the soup.
After dinner he went to see his daughter-in-law. The little princess was sitting at a small table and chatting with Masha, the maid. She turned pale when she saw her father-in-law.
The little princess has changed greatly. She was rather bad than good, now. The cheeks drooped, the lip went up, the eyes were drawn down.
- Yes, some kind of heaviness, - she answered the prince's question, what she feels.
- Do you need what?
- No, merci, mon pere. [thank you, father.]
- Well, good, good.
He went out and walked to the waiter's. Alpatych, bending his head, stood in the waiter's room.
- Is the road covered?
- Thrown over, your Excellency; forgive me, for God's sake, for one stupidity.
The prince interrupted him and laughed his unnatural laugh.
- Well, good, good.
He held out his hand, which Alpatych had kissed, and went into the office.
In the evening, Prince Vasily arrived. He was met at the avenue (as the avenue was called) by a coachman and waiters, with a shout they drove his carts and sleighs to the outbuilding along a road covered with snow on purpose.
Prince Vasil and Anatol were given separate rooms.
Anatole was sitting, taking off his jacket and propping his hands on his hips, in front of the table, to the corner of which he, smiling, fixedly and absentmindedly fixed his beautiful large eyes. Throughout his life, he looked at it as a continuous amusement, which for some reason someone undertook to arrange for him. In the same way, he now looked at his trip to the evil old man and to the rich ugly heiress. All this could come out, according to his assumption, very good and funny. And why not marry, if she is very rich? It never gets in the way, Anatole thought.
He shaved, perfumed himself with the thoroughness and panache that had become his habit, and with his natural, good-natured, victorious expression, carrying his handsome head high, he entered his father's room. Near Prince Vasily his two valets were busy dressing him; he himself looked animatedly around him and nodded cheerfully to his son who came in, as if he were saying: "So, that's how I need you!"
- No, no kidding, father, is she very ugly? A? He asked, as if continuing the conversation he had more than once conducted during the trip.
- Completely. Nonsense! The main thing is to try to be respectful and reasonable with the old prince.
“If he scolds, I'll leave,” said Anatole. - I hate these old people. A?
- Remember that for you everything depends on it.
At this time, in the maiden's room, not only was the arrival of the minister with his son known, but the appearance of both of them had already been described in detail. Princess Marya sat alone in her room and tried in vain to overcome her inner excitement.
“Why did they write, why did Lisa tell me about it? After all, this cannot be! She said to herself, looking in the mirror. - How do I get out into the living room? If even I liked him, I would not be able to be with him by myself now. " The thought of her father's gaze terrified her.
The little princess and m lle Bourienne had already received all the necessary information from the maid Masha about what a ruddy, black-browed handsome man the minister’s son was, and about how papa forced their legs up the stairs, and he, like an eagle, walking three steps, ran behind him. Having received this information, the little princess with m lle Bourienne, still heard from the corridor in their animatedly talking voices, entered the princess's room.
- Ils sont arrives, Marieie, [They arrived, Marie,] you know? - said the little princess, waddling her belly and sinking heavily into an armchair.
She was no longer in the blouse in which she sat in the morning, but she was wearing one of her best dresses; her head was carefully tucked away, and her face was full of animation, which, however, did not hide the drooping and dead outlines of her face. In the outfit that she usually wore in the societies in Petersburg, it was even more noticeable how much she had grown ugly. On m lle Bourienne, too, there was already imperceptibly some improvement in the outfit, which made her pretty, fresh face even more attractive.
- Eh bien, et vous restez comme vous etes, chere princesse? She said. - On va venir annoncer, que ces messieurs sont au salon; il faudra descendre, et vous ne faites pas un petit brin de toilette! [Well, and you stay, what were you wearing, princess? Now they will come to say that they have left. You will have to go downstairs, and you at least dress up a little!]
The little princess got up from her chair, rang the maid, and hastily and merrily began to invent an outfit for Princess Marya and put it into effect. Princess Marya felt offended in her dignity by the fact that the arrival of her promised bridegroom worried her, and she was even more offended by the fact that both her friends did not imagine that it could be otherwise. To tell them how ashamed she was for herself and for them was to betray her excitement; besides, giving up the outfit that was offered to her would lead to prolonged jokes and insistence. She flushed, her beautiful eyes faded, her face was covered with spots, and with that ugly expression of the victim that most often dwells on her face, she surrendered herself to the power of m lle Bourienne and Lisa. Both women cared quite sincerely about making her beautiful. She was so bad that none of them could think of competing with her; therefore, they quite sincerely, with that naive and firm conviction of women that an outfit can make a face beautiful, began to dress her.
“No, really, ma bonne amie, [my good friend,] this dress is not good,” Liza said, glancing sideways at the princess from afar. - Tell me to serve, you have a masaka there. Right! Well, after all this, perhaps, the fate of life is being decided. And this is too light, not good, no, not good!
It was not the dress that was bad, but the face and the whole figure of the princess, but m lle Bourienne and the little princess did not feel this; it seemed to them that if they put a blue ribbon to their combed-up hair and pull down a blue scarf from a brown dress, etc., then everything will be fine. They forgot that the frightened face and figure could not be changed, and therefore, no matter how they modified the frame and decoration of this face, the face itself remained pitiful and ugly. After two or three changes, which Princess Marya dutifully obeyed, the minute she was combed up (a hairstyle that completely changed and spoiled her face), wearing a blue scarf and an elegant dress, the little princess walked around her a couple of times, with a small hand Here she straightened the fold of her dress, tugged at her scarf and looked with her head bowed, now from one side or the other.
“No, that’s not allowed,” she said resolutely, throwing up her hands. - Non, Marie, decidement ca ne vous va pas. Je vous aime mieux dans votre petite robe grise de tous les jours. Non, de grace, faites cela pour moi. [No, Marie, this is definitely not going to you. I love you better in your gray daily dress: please do it for me.] Katya, - she said to the maid, - bring the princess a gray dress, and see, m lle Bourienne, how I will arrange it, - she said with a smile of anticipation of an artistic joy.
But when Katya brought the required dress, Princess Marya sat motionless in front of the mirror, looking at her face, and in the mirror she saw that there were tears in her eyes, and that her mouth was trembling, preparing for sobs.
“Voyons, chere princesse,” said m lle Bourienne, “encore un petit effort. [Well, princess, a little more effort.]
The little princess, taking the dress from the hands of the maid, approached Princess Marya.
“No, now we’ll do it simply, sweetly,” she said.
Her voices, m lle Bourienne and Katya, who laughed about something, merged into a cheerful babbling, similar to the singing of birds.
- Non, laissez moi, [No, leave me,] - said the princess.
And her voice sounded with such seriousness and suffering that the babbling of birds immediately fell silent. They looked at large, beautiful eyes, full of tears and thoughts, looking at them clearly and pleadingly, and realized that insisting is useless and even cruel.
“Au moins changez de coiffure,” said the little princess. “Je vous disais,” she said reproachfully, addressing m lle Bourienne, “Marieie a une de ces figures, auxquelles ce genre de coiffure ne va pas du tout. Mais du tout, du tout. Changez de grace. [At least change your hairstyle. Marie has one of those faces for whom this kind of hairstyle does not at all. Please change.]
- Laissez moi, laissez moi, tout ca m "est parfaitement egal, [Leave me, I don't care,] - answered a voice, barely holding back tears.
M lle Bourienne and the little princess had to admit to themselves that they were princess. Marya in this form was very bad, worse than ever; but it was too late. She looked at them with the expression they knew, the expression of thought and sadness. This expression did not inspire them with fear of Princess Marya. (This feeling she did not inspire anyone.) But they knew that when this expression appeared on her face, she was silent and unshakable in her decisions.
- Vous changerez, n "est ce pas? [You will change, won't you?] - said Lisa, and when Princess Marya did not answer, Lisa left the room.
Princess Marya was left alone. She did not fulfill Lisa's wishes and not only did not change her hairstyle, but also did not look at herself in the mirror. She, powerlessly dropping her eyes and hands, sat silently and thought. She imagined a husband, a man, a strong, predominant and incomprehensibly attractive being, who suddenly transported her to her own, completely different, happy world. Her child, such as she had seen yesterday at the nurse's daughter, seemed to her against her own breast. The husband stands and looks tenderly at her and the child. “But no, it’s impossible: I’m too ugly,” she thought.
- Come to tea. The prince will come out now, - said the voice of the maid from behind the door.
She woke up and was horrified at what she was thinking. And before going downstairs, she got up, entered the figurative room and, fixing the black face of the big image of the Savior on the illuminated icon lamp, stood in front of him with folded hands for several minutes. In the soul of Princess Marya there was an agonizing doubt. Is it possible for her the joy of love, earthly love for a man? In her thoughts about marriage, Princess Marya dreamed of both family happiness and children, but her main, strongest and hidden dream was earthly love. The feeling was the stronger, the more she tried to hide it from others and even from herself. My God, she said, how can I suppress these thoughts of the devil in my heart? How can I give up so, forever from evil thoughts, in order to calmly fulfill Your will? And as soon as she made this question, God was already answering her in her own heart: “Do not desire anything for yourself; do not seek, do not worry, do not envy. The future of people and your fate should be unknown to you; but live so that you are ready for anything. If God wills to test you in the responsibilities of marriage, be ready to do His will. " With this soothing thought (but still with the hope of fulfilling her forbidden, earthly dream) Princess Marya, sighing, crossed herself and went downstairs, not thinking about her dress, or about her hair, or about how she would enter and what she would say. What could all this mean in comparison with the predestination of God, without whose will not a single hair from a human head will fall.

When Princess Marya entered the room, Prince Vasily and his son were already in the drawing-room, talking with the little princess and m lle Bourienne. When she entered with her heavy gait, stepping on her heels, the men and m lle Bourienne rose, and the little princess, pointing at her to the men, said: Voila Marie! [Here is Marie!] Princess Marya saw everyone and saw them in detail. She saw the face of Prince Vasily, who for a moment stopped seriously at the sight of the princess and immediately smiled, and the face of the little princess, who read with curiosity on the faces of the guests the impression that Marie would make on them. She also saw m lle Bourienne, with her ribbon and beautiful face and lively, as never before, eyes fixed on him; but she could not see him, she saw only something big, bright and beautiful, moving towards her when she entered the room. First, Prince Vasily approached her, and she kissed the bald head bent over her hand, and answered his words that, on the contrary, she remembered him very well. Then Anatole approached her. She still hadn't seen him. She only felt a gentle hand firmly gripping her, and slightly touched her white forehead, over which her beautiful blond hair was anointed. When she looked at him, his beauty struck her. Anatop, putting his right thumb behind the buttoned button of his uniform, with his chest bent forward and his back bent backward, shaking one leg outstretched and slightly bowing his head, silently, gazed at the princess cheerfully, apparently not thinking about her at all. Anatole was not resourceful, not quick and not eloquent in conversations, but he had the ability of calmness, precious for the world, and unchangeable confidence. Shut up at the first acquaintance with a self-confident person and express the consciousness of the indecency of this silence and the desire to find something, and it will be bad; but Anatole was silent, swinging his leg, cheerfully observing the princess's hairstyle. It was evident that he could be so calmly silent for a very long time. “If anyone is embarrassed by this silence, talk like that, but I don’t want to,” as if his appearance spoke. In addition, in his treatment of women, Anatole had that manner that most of all inspires curiosity, fear and even love in women - the manner of a contemptuous awareness of his superiority. As if he was telling them with his appearance: “I know you, I know, but why bother with you? And you would be glad! " It may be that he didn’t think so when meeting women (and it’s even likely not, because he didn’t think much at all), but that was his appearance and his manner. The princess felt this and, as if wishing to show him that she didn’t dare to think about occupying him, turned to the old prince. The conversation was general and lively, thanks to a voice and a sponge with a mustache, rising above the white teeth of the little princess. She met Prince Vasily with the trick of a joke, which is often used by chatty, cheerful people, and which consists in the fact that between the person who is treated in this way and themselves, some kind of long-established jokes and funny, partly not known to everyone, funny memories are assumed, then as there are no such memories, as there were none between the little princess and Prince Vasily. Prince Vasili willingly succumbed to this tone; the little princess drew into this recollection of never-before-ridiculous incidents and Anatole, whom she hardly knew. M lle Bourienne also shared these common memories, and even Princess Marya felt with pleasure that she was drawn into this cheerful memory.
“Well, at least we'll make full use of you now, dear prince,” said the little princess, of course in French, to Prince Vasily, “it's not like at our evenings at Annette, where you will always run away; remember cette chere Annette? [sweet Annette?]
- Oh, you don’t want me to talk about politics, like Annette!
- And our tea table?
- Oh yeah!
- Why have you never been to Annette? The little princess asked Anatole. “But I know, I know,” she said with a wink, “your brother Hippolytus told me about your affairs. - O! She shook her finger at him. - Even in Paris I know your pranks!
- And he, Hippolyte, did not tell you? - said Prince Vasily (addressing his son and grabbing the princess's hand, as if she wanted to run away, but he barely had time to hold her back), a la porte? [kicked him out of the house?]
- Oh! C "est la perle des femmes, princesse! [Ah! This is a pearl of women, princess!] - he turned to the princess.
For her part, m lle Bourienne did not miss the opportunity to enter into a general conversation of memories at the word Paris. She allowed herself to ask how long Anatole left Paris, and how he liked this city. Anatole very willingly answered the Frenchwoman and, smiling, looking at her, talked to her about her country. Seeing pretty Bourienne, Anatole decided that here, in Bald Hills, it would not be boring. “Very nice! - he thought, looking at her, - this demoiselle de compagn is very nice. [companion.] I hope she will take her with her when she marries me, he thought, la petite est gentille. [the baby is cute.]
The old prince dressed slowly in his study, frowning and pondering what to do. The arrival of these guests angered him. “What is Prince Vasily and his son to me? Prince Vasily is a braggart, empty, well, and the son must be good, ”he grumbled to himself. He was angry that the arrival of these guests raised in his soul an unresolved, constantly muffled question - a question about which the old prince always deceived himself. The question was whether he would ever decide to part with Princess Marya and give her to her husband. The prince never directly dared to ask himself this question, knowing in advance that he would answer with justice, and justice contradicted more than feeling, but the whole possibility of his life. Life without Princess Marya to Prince Nikolai Andreevich, despite the fact that he seemed to value her little, was unthinkable. “And why should she marry? - he thought, - probably to be unhappy. There is Liza behind Andrey (it seems difficult to find a better husband now), but is she satisfied with her fate? And who will take it out of love? Ugly, awkward. Taken for connections, for wealth. And don't they live in girls? Even happier! " So thought, dressing, Prince Nikolai Andreevich, and at the same time, the entire postponed issue demanded an immediate solution. Prince Vasily brought his son, obviously with the intention of making an offer and, probably, today or tomorrow will demand a direct answer. Name, decent position in the world. “Well, I’m not averse,” the prince said to himself, “but let him be worth it. This is what we will see. "
“This is what we'll see,” he said aloud. - This is what we'll see.
And he, as always, with brisk steps entered the living room, quickly looked around everyone, noticed the change in the dress of the little princess, and Bourienne's ribbon, and Princess Mary's ugly hairstyle, and the smiles of Bourienne and Anatole, and the loneliness of his princess in the general conversation. “I got out like a fool! - he thought, glancing viciously at his daughter. - There is no shame: but he does not want to know her! "
He went up to Prince Vasil.
- Well, hello, hello; glad to see.
“For a dear friend, seven miles is not a outskirts,” said Prince Vasily, as always, quickly, self-confidently and familiarly. - Here is my second, please love and favor.
Prince Nikolai Andreevich looked around Anatol. - Well done, well done! - he said, - well, come kiss, - and he offered him a cheek.
Anatole kissed the old man and looked at him curiously and completely calmly, expecting whether the eccentric promised by his father would soon come from him.
Prince Nikolai Andreevich sat down in his usual place in the corner of the sofa, pulled up a chair for Prince Vasily, pointed at him and began to ask about political affairs and news. He listened, as if with attention, to the story of Prince Vasily, but he constantly looked at Princess Marya.
- So they write from Potsdam? - he repeated the last words of Prince Vasily, and suddenly, getting up, went up to his daughter.
- You cleaned up for the guests like that, huh? - he said. - Good, very good. You have a new haircut in front of the guests, and I tell you in front of the guests that you don’t dare change your clothes ahead without my asking.
“It’s me, mon pire, [father] is to blame,” the little princess interceded, blushing.
- You have complete freedom with, - said Prince Nikolai Andreevich, bowing to his daughter-in-law, - and she has nothing to disfigure herself - and so bad.
And he sat down again, not paying more attention to his daughter, who was brought to tears.
“On the contrary, this hairstyle suits the princess very well,” said Prince Vasily.
- Well, father, young prince, what is his name? - said Prince Nikolai Andreevich, referring to Anatoly, - come here, let's talk, get to know each other.
“That's when the fun begins,” thought Anatole, and with a smile sat down with the old prince.
- Well, here's what: you, my dear, they say, were brought up abroad. Not like the sexton taught me and your father to read and write. Tell me, my dear, do you now serve in the Horse Guards? - asked the old man, looking closely and intently at Anatole.
- No, I went to the army, - Anatole answered, barely restraining himself from laughing.
- A! good deal. Well, do you want, my dear, to serve the king and the fatherland? War time. It is necessary to serve such a fellow, to serve. Well, at the front?
- No, prince. Our regiment set out. And I'm on the list. What do I have to do with, dad? - Anatole turned with a laugh to his father.
- Serves gloriously, gloriously. What do I have to do with! Ha ha ha! - Prince Nikolai Andreevich laughed.
And Anatole laughed even louder. Suddenly Prince Nikolai Andreevich frowned.
“Well, go,” he said to Anatol.
Anatole with a smile approached the ladies again.

Kir Bulychev - Russian and Soviet writer, historian, orientalist was born on October 18, 1934 in Moscow.

Childhood

"I have everything from my mother" - said the famous author of many works. He will call the heroines of his books by her name and patronymic. The father left the family even before the start of the war. His stepfather, who replaced him, died two days before the victory.

Maria Mikhailovna had a hard time with her two children. She changed many jobs, while continuing to study and master new specialties.
She worked hard at the factory, worked as a driver, was the commandant of a fortress, in which shells and cartridges were kept.

When Igor was born, he had to change his military uniform to civilian clothes. During the war years, she again got into service, fulfilling her duty to the Motherland.

As a student at the Institute of Foreign Languages, Bulychev did not sit still. I went somewhere, went somewhere, climbed the mountains, wanted to see more of everything. After receiving his diploma, he worked in distant Burma (now Myanmar) at a construction site.

In childhood

Then he entered the Institute of Oriental Studies and, working in the magazine "Around the World", on the instructions of the editorial board, traveled thousands of different places on the globe. So the outlook of the future writer was amazing.

Journalism, science and the third - the "frivolous" path to science fiction. They had to hide behind a pseudonym, because at one point, and Mozheiko was then 33 years old, one of his stories was accepted for publication.

He worked at the institute and did not want to be aware of his side hobbies there. In addition, part-time jobs were not approved in Soviet times. Then Igor Vsevolodovich could not assume that he would become a writer, and did not want to aggravate his position at work.

He confessed that he had a lot of sins - he did not go to the collective farm, he skipped the trade meeting, he did not act comradely with someone. For the ideologically sustained Soviet era, it is almost an antisocial element. Therefore, he took the name of his wife, mother's surname and became Kir Bulychev. In different periods of creativity, there were also five other pseudonyms.

Career

It is interesting that the writer did not associate science fiction with dreams and believed in goodness as such, in friendship. He did not associate universal human values ​​with any religion in which he was well versed. He said that the existence of a higher mind is quite possible, but he is not given to understand this, since such things are so much higher than him.

Igor Vsevolodovich sat down to write a book, not knowing in advance how it would end and what the final would be. Otherwise, he was just bored. Therefore, he did not become an outstanding scientist, as he himself claimed.

The scientist and prose writer was convinced that the future was unpredictable. He considered charlatans those who divined and promised soon the coming of the end of the world, a worldwide catastrophe and the apocalypse.

He cited as an example a scientifically calculated forecast made in the second half of the 19th century - in a hundred years, the streets of big cities will not be able to be cleared of heaps of manure because of the ever-increasing horse-drawn transport.

Regarding issues of belief in something or someone, the author of many books is sure that the main thing is to be thinking, critically thinking, thinking people. After all, the population of Russia has been taught to believe on orders from above, so there have not been and will not be any problems with changing the next faith.

They believed Stalin, then it turned out that this is a cult of personality. They believed Khrushchev - in the end they declared him a voluntarist and a crook. They believed Brezhnev, and after his death it turned out that he was a senile and the cause of stagnation. They believed Gorbachev, but five years later the USSR collapsed, and the last Soviet leader is none other than a traitor and an enemy.

Bulychev emphasized in one of his interviews that people who are accustomed to believe and not think will always experience various troubles. As a historian and doctor of sciences, he believed that the state in which he lived would certainly fall apart, but he did not think that this would happen so soon. Everyone needs to learn history well.

Multifaceted talent

The popular science fiction writer knows very well what censorship is, and difficulties have arisen with it more than once. However, according to Igor Vsevolodovich, everything depends on the writer himself. In order not to make a deal with his conscience, he wrote things that would be printed for "living and eating".

If you wanted to write material that the censorship would not miss, Bulychev wrote it, but showed it only to close relatives and friends. When Soviet times ended, all the articles that were "on the table" have now been printed.

He was not built into the system; he kept a distance from his colleagues. In that situation, it turned out to be easier for myself, no one would substitute. The writer never tried to mischief. He considered himself neither a revolutionary nor a fighter. After reading the book How to Become a Science Fiction Scientist.

Notes of the Seventies ”creeps in the idea that Bulychev began to write because life so ordered. It couldn't have been otherwise. The feeling that not a single character has "merged" with its author. Some kind of sediment on the soul of the writer, some kind of disappointment is felt.

The writer's legacy is really not small. This includes various works, divided into thematic groups, which are united by one plot and common characters. There is a teenage girl, an agent, a doctor, a cheerful city, then a sad city, other characters and fantastic lines.

Novels and stories are not collected in a certain general cycle in a separate line. Among them are significant works by Bulychev, each of which deserves a separate article. The novel "Shelter" was published after the death of a wonderful writer and was a kind of Russian answer to the young English wizard Harry Potter.

Educational publications and documentary works. Among them are "Secrets of the Ancient World", "Historical Secrets of the Russian Empire". Encyclopedias and reference books, anthologies, several plays, short stories (“When the Dinosaurs Extinct,” etc.), fairy tales. And also translations of fantastic works by foreign authors - Arthur Clarke, Mac Reynolds, etc. And 600 more poems by the author and dozens of short stories.

There were also screen versions of feature films. This is especially true of the five-part picture "Guest from the Future", which brought the author of the story "A Hundred Years Ahead" closer to fame. At the same time, the film was banned in Holland due to sexual discrimination.

Incredible stupidity, even with all the bias of their legislation. And in the film "Through Thorns to the Stars", the party bosses did not allow many episodes to be shown, although the viewer finds himself in a completely fictional world with aliens, and the events take place in the 23rd century.

A wonderful cartoon, where the Talker bird is distinguished by its intelligence and ingenuity.

Personal life

Bulychev was an optimistic person, he liked to joke. He is from the generation that was "understanding", so his humor is sad in his works. He did not want to go down in history, claiming that, as a rule, assassins are included in it: rulers, kings, generals.

And the science fiction writer tried to live in peace and not spoil the life of other people, although they envied him and tried in various ways to discredit the name of the writer. His success and brightness did not give rest to those who surrounded him in everyday life. He tried to treat it as a minor nuisance.

Bulychev was married to Kira Soshinskaya, a writer and professional artist who did illustrations for his books. When the daughter was born, the father was looking for a non-standard name for her. Called Alice, and then the heroine of the books was so named (reminds her namesake from Carroll's fairy tales). Grandson Timofey is an architect. Together with my mother they have a common hobby - they like to dive into water with scuba diving.

Bulychev and Kira Soshinskaya

Having an institute of translators behind him, the literary critic said that his first language was English, and the second was Czech. It was believed theoretically that Bulychev knew the Burmese language, but practically he did not know it.

The writer collected hats and service badges, and before that pistols with a shock-flint lock and sabers. He considered himself a great connoisseur of phaleristics (awards). I had to buy and exchange semi-legally different antiques at unannounced flea markets somewhere on the Lenin Hills. Now it is Sparrow Hills. Sometimes the police dispersed all these lovers of stamps, coins and worn rarities.

When computers appeared, he did not work on them. There is a photo where the writer is sitting in front of a turned off computer. The wife always drove the car, Igor Vsevolodovich - no. The novels and novellas lack detailed technical descriptions. This is what his daughter testifies. It's even surprising, because in interplanetary flights, nature as such is completely absent, only technology and electronics.

Bulychev was very far from home life. Except that I bought groceries. Being an impractical person, he somehow poured boiling water into a bottle, which made it explode.

I always wore a jacket as there are many pockets. They had to put notepads, various notes and other pieces of paper. His back ached because of the heavy bag, stuffed to the eyeballs with books, which Igor Vsevolodovich carried over his shoulder.

Once from India Bulychev smuggled two little monkeys in the pockets of his coat. They lived in his apartment for several years. The daughter fed them, recalls how biting these lemurs were, although incredibly beautiful.

The science fiction writer did not have any particular addictions to food. Favorite dishes - boiled beef, sprinkled with salt and milk. There was a dacha in the Moscow region, but then it burned down. In general, he was no gardener.

What kind of shovel was there, lying on the grass and reading books - this is the main occupation. In fact, I have not been on vacation in my entire life and did not go in for sports. He watched football matches on TV, he liked it.

The writer died at the age of 68, the cause was oncology, with which he fought for a long time. He had a certain negative attitude, which Igor Vsevolodovich voiced more than once, saying that his father lived 69 years old, and that he supposedly would no longer shine either. You can't program yourself to be negative.

Bulychev in his house is reminiscent of many gifts that he brought from afar. For example, coral beads from the Philippines of extraordinary beauty, as well as watercolors painted by him hanging on the walls.

10/18/1934, Moscow - 09/05/2003, in the same place
Russian writer, screenwriter, historian

The Arbat boy Igor Mozheiko was always fond of something. When he was very young, he loved stories about the scouts and the border guard Karatsupe. At the age of ten, he wanted to become an artist and even entered an art school. True, he did not study there for long - he fell ill, missed a lot, and then he was afraid to go back. Probably, Igor was very worried and offended by his mother for not persuading, not insisting, but soon he had new hobbies, completely different - geology and paleontology.
Igor really wanted to "Travel, live in a tent, make scientific discoveries"... Imagining himself as an explorer of the Amazonian selva, he walked along and across the Moscow region. He diligently studied Ivan Efremov's books on paleontological expeditions to the Gobi Desert, collected extensive collections of minerals and, of course, presented himself as a real geologist with a courageous face and chapped hands ...
It seemed that a direct road to the Geological Prospecting Institute was shining for him, but it so happened that, according to the Komsomol order, Mozheiko was sent to the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, and after graduating from the translation department, he got to work in a distant Asian country - Burma ...
At times it seemed to the young translator that he found himself in some fairy-tale world. From the hotel window he could see thousands of ancient Buddhist temples. Before dawn, they became blue, purple and somehow airy. Shocked by what he saw, Igor Mozheiko, returning to his homeland, entered graduate school at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and in 1966 defended his thesis on medieval Burma on the topic "Pagan State".
Research began, work on monographs. Life seemed to be going on a knurled track, but ... At the same time, Mozheiko's daughter Alice was growing up. She was not very interested in the history of Burma, but she really wanted her dad, forgetting about business, to tell her something completely extraordinary. And especially for his daughter, Igor Vsevolodovich with pleasure began to invent fantastic stories about a girl from the 21st century, whom he, like his own child, called Alice.
These stories, entitled "The Girl With whom Nothing Happens," was published in 1965 in the popular almanac "World of Adventures". And soon there was an amusing story with the magazine "Seeker", which printed detective stories and science fiction. Something like a real emergency happened in the editorial office of this glorious publication. Before submitting the materials to the printing house, it was decided not to publish one of the foreign science fiction stories. However, as if on purpose, the cover of the upcoming issue with the illustration for this story had already been printed. From the cover, a tiny dinosaur sitting in a bank looked sadly at the frustrated editorial staff.
The drawing demanded an explanation, and several people, saving the day, decided to write based on a fantastic story, the best of which was to be included in the collection the next day. Orientalist Igor Mozheiko also took part in an unexpected competition. He honestly sat all night at the typewriter, and in the morning he brought his essay to the editorial office. The story, invented by Mozheiko ("When did the dinosaurs become extinct?"), Seemed to the employees the most successful, and it was urgently inserted into the issue. But how to sign such an unexpected creation? "Igor Mozheiko" is kind of uncomfortable. After all, a historian, a scientist, and here some dinosaurs are in banks. "Wife's name plus mother's maiden name",- the author decided and wrote "Kir Bulychev" under the manuscript. This is how one of the most popular modern science fiction writers appeared.
Be that as it may, the fact remains: the serious historian Mozheiko began to write "frivolous" fiction. And, apparently, he liked this occupation very much, because after the first short stories that laid the foundation for the stories “about Alice”, real “big” books appeared: “A Girl from the Earth” (1974), “A Hundred Years Ahead” (1978 ), "A Million Adventures" (1982), "Fidget" (1985), "New Adventures of Alice" (1990) ... And once Alisa Selezneva even became a movie star - scripts were written for the animated film "The Mystery of the Third Planet" and the five-part feature film "Guest from the future". And every new meeting with a girl from the XXI century aroused both readers and spectators a stormy delight.
But Kir Bulychev did not want to write only about Alice. He penned a great many completely different, completely different books: an ironic epic about the provincial town of Great Guslar and his the glorious inhabitant Kornelia Udalov, the "adult" cycle about the space doctor Vladislav Pavlysh and much, much more ...
At the same time, Igor Vsevolodovich did not abandon his scientific studies. Simultaneously with the science fiction writer Bulychev, the historian Mozheiko tirelessly wrote his works. He published several monographs, popular science books "7 and 37 wonders", "Pirates, corsairs, raiders", "1185. East-West ". And also he defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic "Buddhism in Burma".
It remains only to wonder how Igor Vsevolodovich had enough time and energy for everything. However, no, there was just not enough time, and the science fiction writer Bulychev, together with the historian Mozheiko, dreamed more than anything else of how to somehow increase the day ...

"We need a free planet" and "Dear Microbe"

In this remote corner grows raspberries the size of a fist, the talking raven Gregory lives, a mill wanders by itself and, following an old tradition, every morning a bear shoots from a cannon! ..

Kira Bulychev "It seemed natural to bring together the life of Conan Doyle and the biography of Sherlock Holmes and show how they fit into reality and how they interacted with the progress of forensic science.".

But among the creatures invented in antiquity, there are others - those that were unknown to the monks of the Middle Ages - a special section is devoted to them: "The inventions of our days."

- BOOKS I.V. MOZHEYKO -

[COMPLETE WORKS]: East. series / Comp. A.V. Alekseev. - M .: Chronos, 1996-.
This multivolume was supposed to include popular science books, which in different years were published under the real name of Kira Bulychev - I.V. Mozheiko. Unfortunately, the meeting was left incomplete.

"Awards"
“The happiness of a collector is a very special kind of joy that is not available to everyone. This feeling in its purest form is disinterested, since a real collector with the same intensity will rejoice at an acquisition that is penny or priceless - it is not the cost that is important, but the fact of possession. "(Kir Bulychev. "Agent KF").
All his life Igor Mozheiko was a passionate collector. His hobby was faleristics, a passion so strong and deep that over time it turned into another profession.
"Falera was the name of the breastplate of a Roman legionnaire,- Igor Vsevolodovich writes in the introduction. “Falera was a reward for valor.
The doctrine of rewards is called phaleristics. "
A true collector knows absolutely everything about his collection. Therefore, Igor Mozheiko conducts "conversations about faleristics" very competently and with obvious pleasure.

PIRATES, CORSORS, RAIDS: [Sat. articles]. - M .: Veche, 2006 .-- 477 p .: ill., Photo. - (Great secrets).
“Piracy originated in ancient times. There is reason to believe that on the day when the first sea merchant loaded his boat with goods, the first sea robber went after him. ".
Books about pirates are the best reading ever. And although the book "Pirates, Corsairs, Raiders" is not a novel, but just a collection of historical essays, it is just as difficult to tear yourself away from it as from "Treasure Island" by RL Stevenson ...

7 AND 37 WONDERS / Art. K. Soshinskaya. - M .: Sovremennik, 1996 .-- 331 p .: ill. - (Anthology of secrets, miracles and mysteries).

7 AND 37 WONDERS OF THE WORLD: From Hellas to China. - M .: Veche, 2006 .-- 413 p .: ill., Photo. - (Great secrets).
Seven is a number, of course, wonderful, and maybe even magical. But there were not seven wonders of the world, but much more! ..
Igor Mozheiko talks not only about the Egyptian pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, but also about dozens of other miracles that were created by the hands of people who lived in different parts of the world many centuries ago ...

YEAR 1185. (EAST - WEST). - M .: Nauka, 1989 .-- 524 p .: ill.
“I wanted to see and show the reader- wrote I.V. Mozheiko in the "Introduction" to this book, - the world of one year (or several years), but not today and not close to us in time, but distant ... I wanted to show the reader that great thinkers and artists, warriors and poets of the distant past were particles of humanity, albeit divided by mountains and forests ... For those who do not like history for the fact that there are many dates in it and they need to be crammed, I will make a big indulgence. The date will be one ... "
1185 ... The events described in the "Lay of Igor's Host" date back to this time. Historian I.V. Mozheiko invites us on a fascinating journey from East to West, in order, moving along the Great Silk Road, to meet not only with Prince Igor, but also with the Georgian Queen Tamara, Genghis Khan, Nizami, Friedrich Barbarossa, knights-crusaders and even by Richard the Lionheart himself ...
