Vanka Cain

PART ONE

am Ivan believed that his life began on that day when he, having risen in the mind, robbed the owner and left his courtyard, having a note on the gate: "Work on the hell, and not me." Before that there was no real life. There were only almost sixteen years of solid patience. First, in the village, in the parental low, as if the attached home was tolerated constantly dark irritable views of a restless bony father and his endless evil dulling and swearing: it didn't do that, it was not, "Pogance!". Mother almost did not remember, died when she was three or four years; I remember only her hot arms, tiredly lying on her knees, submissively prone head in the faded handkerchief and that she sat for a moment at the stove. Lask did not remember anyone. But everything is already then, in childhood, they told him that he should endure everything that was born to serfs to tolerate everything from all adults and even from the father and Dyachka in the church, whatever they told him. And he did not understand why should. And when their owner, the shopping guest Fiteyev, ordered his father to bring him to Moscow and determined in his yard, he also endured, and endured from everyone in this yard, for only thirteen years old, the youngest in the Porougly, and more and more In the soul crushed, tormented. Because no one asked if he wanted to do what he was told, and what he wants, what he thinks, - no one! They just poured, ordered, shouted and punished. And he endured and endured, realizing that it was necessary to gain strength, grow, climb into the mind and then to do something.

So I did: Rough and left, writing such a note. Thank God, even though he himself was very small at the Konya, Nicodemia learned to read and write.

But the owner on the other day grabbed him in a row on the Red Square - the face to face was collided - yes the ledge back, Lyuto Syuk and planted on a chain in Siruba without a roof, in which he kept the bear-three-year bear for fun, but, thank God, Do not lie. Bear in one corner on a long chain, Ivan - in another, in short. If you converge - they could and get each other.

And was on the outcome of September - John theologians, at night I was very cold, and Ivan in a gloomy, which he threw after whipping; He lookedched in all in the blood, the bear was restlessly sniffed, the evil rushed, jumped, wounded, rushed, rod chain, from the wall to the wall. Fiteyev ordered not to give Ivan either food, no water, but a bear, on the contrary - more than the former. And I wore the Bear to the food of the Danie, also the fortress courtyard, two years old were older than Ivan. Lady, deft, lubricating face. Friendship between them was not found anyway, Ivan was out of the unrelaught: low, a little with Ryzhigay, only the teeth were abolished bright. Fiteyev first times two himself looked like the Dunny pushed the bear with a stick to the Bear, and how she did not look - she is an Ivan's piece of boiled meat and a piece of bread, savaged to the sinus. And whispered that at night I would love and bring more. In Srub, there were door and window holes, he stood in the yard in sight, and she was guarded and crawls, so that I was also strictly followed by Ivan. So neither in the first, nor in the second, nor in the third night did not manage the Dunya there, only when I wore a bear, I threw Ivan that I could have been with water with water first I was convicted. And Ivan, Khota and scalil, as always, bright teubery, something smiling, not so smirking, but I slept from the face, turned pale, and the Dunya was just now wondering what he had sharp and deeply tumping serious brown eyes.

But in the fourth gloomy windy night in the yard finally did not turn anyone, and Dunya darted to the cut. But before you dive into it, looked around, listened and suddenly heard that Ivan there, inside, sings. In the first moment I was even frightened - I crushed! Yes, and his voice had such a dick, that the frost went by a kea. Not a sound, the sound was even a little deaf, with hoarse, and with something in him - whether the passion of Lee, who beat in this vote. With a ugly voice, yes, with ugly, but such a shrill spiritual, such a burning spiritual one, what Dunya did not hear what Dunny, and she was so, with a frost on the skin, dried up, silently and joined the grazing darkness, looking at the corner where he was sitting.

The Red Maiden was pressed.

Oh you, winds, you warm,

Stop blowing, you are not needed ...

I saw her and immediately verse, said to be happy:

Golub soul!

And the unheard of the song sounded everything in it, everything sounded, and she asked her overgrown:

You sing?

Soul Gray.

You're so much !! Cheats?

I'm not angry. Soul is angry.

The Bear crumbled pretty, rode the chain, slapped to them - it can be seen, he decided that the Dunya brought an extraordinary feeder. In the light of the flashed moon, it even seemed that the bear was smiling.

Throw him to the tolik, but it heats himself, zaring is a neural man. I liked how I sow?

Strange ... Yes, I liked it, yes!

Do you want to sing alone?

And suddenly Ivan firmly pressed the dunge to him - as the iron grabbed! - and repeated with the same piercing hoarse, with which he sang:

Want to sing alone?

The next day, the Dunya came to the cut in a spontaneous hour, in half, many in sight, and it seems that in the shoe began to correct, and herself herself in the near Ivan the window hole, which in the backyard Fleuseva, in a dry old well there is a soldier's corpse Landminia. The second day lies. It is more accurate accurate - everything checked. And Introve the same day when in the courtyard I found myself for some reason the Guards Lieutenant came to Fuelyev - they went and talked, - from the logish there was a desperate cry of Ivan:

Word and case! Word and case!

I shouted to the whole estate. Fiero shouted. Lieutenant with Fuelyev, of course, to a cut. The owner from the malice and rabies are crimson, the eyes flooded with blood.

What else "Word and Case", a scum of a dog?!

What? What? - Fire officer.

Sovereign! I will only say the head police boss.

And again in the Creek Creek:

Word and business! Word and case! Word and case!

The whole courtyard is heard, dozens of people. The owner almost burst from anger, and the officer ordered toggle Ivan from the chain and walked with him. And after midnight, Ivan had already granted the soldiers with guns and another officer, he spent them on the backyard, there were torches there, lowered two ropes with cats into a dry well, and did the corpse of the Landmilitian soldier. The courtyard stood around in full silence, only the torches were cracking and the chucks of whitish fire were danced on frowned and frightened faces of the Ameg Plyonyeva, and two more servants and cruel, and Ivan at the outdoor at the gate said the owner:

You're pissing me in the day, and I'm with you at night - promenade, what's next ...

True, in three days, Fiteyev returned - twisted, it can be seen, and whether it was personally involved in this corpse, there is no one - it is not known. And one of the yard returned, and the other and the clarifier were swayed forever.

Ivan, of course, never returned.

He received from the secret office for a denunciation of a free residence permit, that is, got free. The former owner, though and tormented, that he lost the fortress and that he did not get up with him as he likes for his theft and unheard of meanness, but in the depths of the soul, it was still more rejoiced that he got rid of him. And it was all seen. And I saw Dunya and, meeting with Ivan, all retells. Laughing, he said that Fiteyev even called him by Cain for the fact that he did and so had a native owner, who was for him, according to his conviction, even better blood father. He believed that Ivan it himself with the accomplices arranged with the corpse for his emotion and for the sake of getting free. "True de Cain."

Ivan, who was recorded by the name of Father Osipov, wanted to become only a thief, only the robber. As I entered the age and began to think about life and about myself, just that I wanted. Because the life of all other people on earth was insanely boring, hopelessly boring: it is impossible, it is impossible, it is impossible, so it is impossible, it is impossible, then the terpie, the other is crazy! And in the thieves and the robbers, everything is possible, everything that will make it in the head, that you will examine - Valya! Self! Fuck! Ozari so that people have their hair end and the languages \u200b\u200bare torn. And nobody over you rules, nobody: Neither God, nor the hell, no king-sovereign with all candy. You reign on yourself. Will! No one will have such a will on Earth, like a thieves-robber, it's not a slave, not a servant, not a worker, not a servant, like at least the same princes and a boyar yes the ranks are different. And how they are afraid of them, which constipation and guards were inadequate for the houses of their and palaces and everything else. How much iron is made of money for hosted from them - from thieves and robbers.

Even the words of these themselves liked the hidden ringing with their own and power.

And he, of course, still living in Fuelyeva, already started with this Loda of Friendship, and with a loose, kudlata, a reckless Verry Kamchatka and a real friendship, although the difference in the years between them was in the whole twelve years. Kamchatka is a nickname; In this world, everyone had nicknames to each other, and it happened that some even forgot their genuine names. Ivan soon it also appeared with a light, and maybe not with the light hand of the Duni, laugh more than once repeated Fuelievsky "Cain", which heard not only Ivan. So went. Kamchatka was called to the world by Peter Romanov Son Smysyn-Floor, in his youth was a sailor-teach of the Moscow Admiralty Sailing Factory, and for Ivan, his first, the only and very short mentor teacher in the thievesky craft, because after a year the student has surpassed his teacher So much so that Kamchatka himself considered himself only a subwoofer Ivan and ...

I became the legendary hero of thieves adventure and dealting.

He had a whole squad of the soldiers he enjoyed for his own purposes; Soon he stopped shy even with the authorities of Moscow. In the end, in 1755 he was tried and, with the extended nostrils, was exiled to the Baltic port.

Cashed Wanks Cain

There Vankka told someone his whole life. This story, sparkling bright, albeit rough wit, was recorded, printed and in the XVIII century was subjected to literary processing. Autobiography Vanka introduces us to the life of Moscow of the 1950s of the XVIII century, introduces us with the nravami and life of the thieves of small and large. It is especially interesting to work with its style: sayings, proverbs, additives, pop-poetic turnover of speech, rhymed acutes are striking their abundance and diversity. Vanka was an artist-fraudster and a great humorist-balagen in the soul.

Here are some examples:

"Tronow" at his master "Larz" and "capturing money from there it is so pretty enough to bear it was fully", Vanka "got old and stepped from the courtyard." At the gate of the North Court wrote: "Drink water, like a goose, eat bread like a pig, and work with you Chort, and not I". The village of Vanka climbs in the courtyard to the priest, but meets the "man who calls the bell early" ( i.e. ringing). That "ignorant" meets the Vanka and his companion who were "not on a big road, but on the country" (i.e. through the fence). Comrade Vanka for ignorance hit the guard "Lose than the water of the water" (i.e. the rocker), - and the killed did notice the notation: "Does the master's gate spike for any parishioner? Therefore, there will never be to sleep! "

Vankka then went "under the stone bridge, where there was a graveyard," there, the thieves greeted him as a curly speech: "Paul Yes, the middle of himself ate himself, the stove yes, we will give a silent alms going to this bridge! And you will, brother, our cloth fucking; They live here in our house, in which there are only pretty: nudity and booties are extended by the poles, and the hunger and the cold of the barn stand, dust and soot, and there is nothing to burst. "

In the same spirit, all further practices of the hero are told, - interrogated him in a rapid order, adherents in Nizhny Novgorod during the fair, his marriage and feats as a detective. Vanka not only fraudes, in always still evil joking over the victims. Talking, for example, how he robbed the sleeping, Vanka says: "What was reversible to continue so tightly slept." Enjoying one Barin, Vanka with comrades, offended by his swearing, dismissed him one foot and left behind the city in the wasteland; I am pleased to tell, as a stroke Barin, "according to the Great Frost then, having fed up the leg, sat down, and we, leaving him on that place, left."

Even the story of the punishment and link told Vanka with the same humor: he was sent, he said, on "cold waters, from Moscow for seven miles with a campaign." His balagency is very characteristic, - before us is a purely popular wit, which has found an expression in the songs and fairy tales of the bumps, in poetic texts explaining the old chest paintings.

The life of the Vanki is confirmed by abundant judicial materials, still persistent in Moscow archives; His personality was so popular, which was reflected even in folk songs. His autobiography proves to us that in the XVIII century, except literaryattempts by Chulkov, Ivan Novikova, etc., create an original folk novel, was an attempt and from the people of the people themselves novel,but not Fairy tale

The huge interest of Russian readers of the XVIII century to this novel indicates that if the tops of society were fond of pseudoclassicism, the mass of the Russian society loved their awakening national creativity.
