Russian reconkist
Grenada Mikhail Svetlova became the anthem of generations of Soviet idealists
Everything, of course, was wrong, not with those and not for that. But Mikhail Svetlov, whose 110th anniversary we celebrate on June 17, threw the bridge from the Silver Age to the Spanish War, to the Interbrid. Below there remained the hell of civilian and the horrors of the Lenin-Stalin meat grinder, and neither blood nor dirt stuck to the bright and good Idalgo Mikhail Arkadyevich. Interbrigads, Spain, anti -fascism, the dream of communism with a human face - it was the holy Grail of the generation, which was killed in the Moscow militia, along the road to Berlin, at the stages to Kolyma. Mikhail Svetlov survived a miracle, because he supported the left opposition, participated in the publication of the illegal Trotskyist newspaper Communist, and about the third Moscow process (the anti -Soviet “right -to -rhistine bloc”) spoke like this: “This is not a process, but organized killings.”In 1926, Grenada was written, the anthem of the eternal Russian reconkist, begun still on the barricades of Paris in 1848, where Turgenevsky Rudin, who sang Herzen, and continued by the cry of the Polish rebels of 1863: “For your and our freedom!” The reconquist is not conquerors, but the liberators: “A beautiful name, high honor - there is a Grenadian volost in Spain! I left the hut, went to fight to give the land in Grenada to the peasants. Farewell, relatives, goodbye, friends - Grenada, Grenada, Grenada! ”
The last seven on Red Square, which defended Czechoslovakia in 1968, and the democrats, who defended Chechnya in 1995, and in 2008-Georgia stood in this chain. The emigrant’s emigrant Marina Tsvetaeva, who was singing “Grenada”, the old seasoned prisoner Varlah Shalamov, who lost faith in socialism, shook his hand when he said: “Maybe I had never brought anyone, I wrote nothing to anyone.”
In 1943, Svetlov wrote “Italian”, one of the best poems about the war. “Is the middle of the Don a bend by a foreign scientist studied? Our land is Russia, Rasey - did you plow and sowed? I will not give my homeland to take out for the expanse of the foreign seas, I shoot - and there is no justice more fair than my bullet. "
Evgeny Yevtushenko wrote about how he was buried in 1964: “Without a halo and money along the noisy tables, he wandered, like a dervish, the quietest Svetlov. Any grimace of fate is not terrible when there is Grenada, Grenada, Grena ... Not crying in vain, pitying people, he was never in his Grenada. I brought Svetlov to the eternal set of Grenadian volost in a simple rag. And the soil, slightly startled, black and warmth, Grenada - received good in herself. "
Stalin Svetlov simply did not notice in his work or in his performances. Stalin, fortunately, did not notice him either. The poet did not approach the cruel Soviet realities. Neither Pavliki Morozov nor Tarasa Bulba were his heroes. “The Chubty Taras did not spare anyone ... I hear with a midnight hour through the door:“ Andriy! .. I gave birth to you! - Taras's voice comes. The beautiful pannah is quiet and pale, the braids are dissolved, and it falls to the ground, like a pine tree, a broken body of Andria in a storm. ”
Who watched the 1965 black and white film Aida Manasarova based on Svetlov’s play “Twenty years later”? And you need to see. You say that there were no such Komsomol members? But after all, Pavel Nilin was taken from somewhere in Venka Malyshev from the story “Cruelty”. Whether the current generation is capable of in the name of freedom, property and legality to try the Formula Svetlov on the tooth: “The rumble of offenses is not terrible for us. Let the horizon be closed with smoke. We will tell our parents that we are going to the front. We are tired of walking in children, and I turn to the country: "Give the weapon bold, and first of all - to me."
The front is not necessarily a weapon. But Sheremetyevo is certainly not the front, but the rear.
