Maria M. Vvedenskaya was the original Russian woman from Eltsa . In Yelets her parents lived and aunt - merchant's wife . The family was petty-bourgeois merchant , with the Old Believers bias. In his youth , back in my school years , she was in the liberal levovatuyu company. Among the friends of her youth were burned-out landlords Eletskiye Plekhanovs Semashko .
Maria M. recalled their desolate estates and manor houses , where , in rooms with tall mahogany doors , the manger , on postelennuyu expanded parquet of apples, slept gymnasium and student youth, and had long conversations about the beautiful democratic future . In the future, most of these young people have become a country doctor , teachers, statisticians , lawyers and attorneys . But some of them and was prominent among the SRs and the Bolsheviks. They all firmly believed in its meaningfulness really working life for the people .
Husband Maria Mikhailovna was a country doctor . He died shortly after the revolution . They had one daughter , Vera. She died tragically in Sudak , on the excavations of Professor Fomin , from the bite of a rabid dog , in Moscow Province Vvedenskaya worked as a country doctor before the revolution and moved to Moscow immediately after the coup . In Moscow, she worked in child care centers .
The main purpose of life was Maria Mikhailovna worship beauty , and in beauty - God. It was a kind of religion Orthodox wonderful . She believed that all that is beautiful - created by God's judgment and the earthly embodiment of the will of the Lord. According to her views, painter, sculptor and writer, with a brush , chisel and pen , pray to God . She loved literature, music by Glinka, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky , Rachmaninoff, loved Orthodox services . She had a small hereditary condition before the revolution toured Europe with groups agrarian leaders . She was especially fond of Rome , Italy, constantly reading " Images of Italy " Muratov and novels Merezhkovskii . Before the revolution of the Russian intelligentsia, often the provincial , was the cult of Italy - Roman, Gothic , renaissance , but not baroque . Luxury Berninievskogo papal Rome nobody liked . In Rome, Maria M. , along with other Orthodox believers tourists specially ordered with the Orthodox churches in the catacombs of the early Christians , where they were shown lambs and fish. For these services, the priest invited the Russian embassy , and he to this already , as she said , used " will arrive from our Eltsa , Orel, Smolensk, will lead to the catacombs . But rich people do not drive me there ».
Horror first revolution of the fifth year , the bombers , the SRs Maria Mihajlovnu discouraged from leftist . Between the two revolutions , she often traveled to monasteries in and around Moscow and spoke with the monks. She met with Danilovskoe monks - abbot Theodore and obeznozhivshim father Polycarp , which is especially revered until the end of days .
She read a lot , " Philokalia " Ephrem , Church Fathers , she is constantly reading the sonnets of Michelangelo , Dante, Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine . She graduated from the Higher Women's medical courses in Moscow and worked for a long time , along with her husband , a country doctor in the Moscow district , and somewhere in the wilderness, even before the revolution , met and made friends with the writer Prishvin , which went to Zvenigorod and during his lifetime, and after his death, to his widow . Ironically, Maria Mikhailovna had some aristocratic habits - she did not like to cook, clean and direct mostly sat in a chair and watch with pleasure talking about literature, art and the beauty of Italy. My parents also did not like homework , and when a little financial climbed immediately brought servants. But other nobles , which I had to know is even fun to do menial jobs , citing as an example , to Leo Tolstoy , make their slop , and Nicholas II, minced wood in exile .
We had a lot of Maria Mikhailovna icons of closed churches , the whole wall . After the death of Stroganov she began to gather to read , while the burned church candles . Part of the community moved to the Stroganov Kiseleva part to the Presentation , but no one moved , except me alone , to Velichko . Velichko lived near the Presentation , 15 minutes away, but it came to her and not to him. Velichko was more conservative spirit of liberalism was not touched .
Catacomb priests then already died or survived their age in seclusion , without leaving the room , and sometimes came to the Presentation of Grebneva father John and served prayers and " obedentsy ." In the early years was often Maria M. and Ilya Obydenny and Nicola in Klenikah on Maroseika fathers Metchev . She , along with my grandmother , went to his father John Metchev Vereya in the last years of his life . When someone is in Europe preparing a book about Metchev , Maria M. gave publishers letter sermon Father Sergius , which he sent to her from exile .
In Sergianist temples Maria M. never been , afraid to be defiled . " It's all in the blood, I can not see these gilded FTI ", - she said. Especially monstrously leaving herself, she hated them personally and renovators heresiarch Archpriest Alexander Vvedenskogo which twice had long conversations in a private home in the twenties , convicting him. She brought Vvedenskogo before he choked rybeyu bone and ran out of the house , where they had dinner . And they had dinner at the then Lenin's Commissar of Health Semashko , which Vvedenskaya knew almost from childhood .
Vvedenskoj have had several Indian attitude to Orthodoxy - she loved to contemplate passively . Alter life on the basis of the Orthodox was unacceptable for her and even hostile . To white , to the Civil War she was indifferent . But the horrors of the second revolution in the county Eletsky she told her prisushit with eloquence . It is, incidentally , knew his brother Ivan Bunin , who painted portraits and died after the revolution from malnutrition. In Eletsky county Maria Mikhailovna was a good friend , a liberal landowner , Baroness Medem . It was a very beautiful, tall , red-haired , still youngish woman with blue eyes . She saw savagery peasants and Red Terror in cambric shirt came into the river during the ice and stood there for a long time . Then of course she died.
Was at Vvedenskoj close friend pomeshik liberal purely Chekhovian type , according to her , full, with a beard and a gold pince-nez. He was a beautiful and loving wife and five children . The whole family , they loved the peasants and they literally spend all the money - they built a school, a hospital , maternity ward and a library .
During the Revolution the peasants came to the estate , tied to the master lime tree by a pond and begin to drown his wife with children. Overflow - overflow , then pull out those puke mud , then again stoked . His wife and children drowned , but a liberal mad. When his men were released , then bowed : " I'm sorry sir, we 'll just want to teach ." He soon died , wandering the roads and shouting : " For what? For what? I loved them ! " He was found frozen on the sidelines - one hand sticking out of a snowdrift with wedding gold ring . A passing man cut off his finger and went guzzle ring - then only found where the body liberal. Widow with children left the city and became a dishwasher in a restaurant where stealing scraps to feed the children .
More Vvedenskaya told how when her train when she went to Elec, soldiers directly in the car without bringing in the vestibule , bayoneted two former officers , Bloodshot passengers and promising that their " perekolyut , if ishshe vyaknut ." Officers were wounded on the German front and the soldiers could not prove that they are not white .
Vvedenskaya not like to talk about politics , avoiding these topics. She withdrew entirely on the aesthetic and religious experiences. She is very comfortable mixed religious morality and art. Although she was a doctor , but the sick avoided physical community members . This type of work we carry regularly and go for paralytics . Man, when he is old and sick, - smelly , stinking creature and care - it unpleasant for shirkers . The whole of modern civilization is built on the cult of the young body and hedonism and therefore inherently immoral . Beautiful body - is nothing more than an illusion euphoric , promotes the growth of a kind of spring game nature ephemeral , as colorful butterflies odnodnevkn . Zoya Kiseleva spoke of the Presentation : " Maria M. we have a large liberal lady ».
This gentility was that it was dealing with people in general, cool and distant , and highly formalized . From it came the heat did not , though she was not an evil man and benevolent people. She was a professional conversationalist , and only . Mentor as Stroganov and Kiseleva , it was not - it was nice to get together and pray. Daniel Andreev as interlocutor, to equal it , and even higher , she loved. He sometimes came to her , and they quickly found common themes .
Before the war, it often came catacombists priest , Father Basil . He was a native of the province of Smolensk , did not serve with Sergianists lived outwardly layman Carpenter . He lived somewhere in the New Jerusalem, and came to the Presentation for three days , and then served as all services and made other services . She found him and drove to the Stroganov not . Generally , too different people to each other did not carry - afraid .
Maria M. lived in the house opposite a pre- sacral buildings in the form of a red star - Theatre of the Soviet Army. The apartment lived another family sympathized Maria Mikhailovna and molivshayasya her. She had a very large corner room, one wall was entirely hung with icons. Icons opposite the lectern was carved work Abramtsevo workshop full of vintage wax dripped liturgical books . This lectern had given her daughter Vasnetsov , her old good friend . The room was on the first floor , but due to the rise of the soil, it has become a semi-basement , and legs were visible passing citizens. Candles Maria Mikhailovna of Old Believers were dormitories at Transfiguration Cemetery , there was still the nuns lived , making them out of this wax .
After the war Vvedenskoj strictly in the same day , towards evening , came tireless Grebnevskiye father father John . Usually he slept , and he put shirmochka . Dry, lively, medium height , deliberately poorly dressed - he liked to go to the old fur hat with hanging ears without ribbons , two worn knapsacks on their shoulders, always with a simple homemade stick, he looked like a beggar wanderer. He was not wearing a robe . Sitting in prisons he thirties , and took him since the revolution , for the sermon. He was ordained long before the revolution . Served in various dioceses , south of Moscow . He considered himself a Russian folk priest did not recognize any post-revolutionary church authorities and never to remember them in the service , limited to: " And let us pray for all Orthodox patriarchs ».
Government he did not remember: " Let us pray for the Russian land and Orthodox people it. " In general , while many remembered in different ways and in their own way . Suffering certain nihilism towards the Patriarchate , which he suffered in the persecution , Father John said : "Your Patriarch Tikhon was good too - just scared. So they killed him quietly , quietly , as if he had not lived at all. The people did not rise then, and all kept silent , as if pricked veterinarian cat Vaska , and not after the first Patriarch Peter . " Everyone in our circle knew how slew Patriarch dentist jabs him in the gum poison. Dentist , by the way , was not Jewish , and Russian and then suffered long done, what has admitted in the confessional .
Father John told me that when he roamed the forests of Bryansk , in some counties all churches were closed (it was collectivization era ) , and the peasants , knowing that he would come , going deep in the woods by the hundreds, and he baptized their children in the forest lakes , crowned with wreaths of birch bark and served Liturgy and Vespers among ancient trees . He sometimes did not even have the cross with him , and he made it out of two sticks and ropes .
After the war he was released - he survived and felt good , even though he was already very old, but served in the camps all the rules and loved his superiors for absolute fearlessness . In the camp , he refused to recognize and Sergius, Alexy and I, he told the investigator : "Why should I accept them , if I'm already from Patriarch Tikhon and Metropolitan Peter in their lives denied ».
His summoned Simansky and said : "I know that you do not recognize anyone , and me too , but since you survived , then serve. I'll give you the richest parish of the Moscow diocese , which never closed , and served there until the death . I need to have at least one independent priest , to which you can send to confession pastors and monks , and which will not be given the secrecy of confession and donesut . " What happened, happened , and the words of the song you can not erase .
Father John said of Simanska : " He has a lot of relatives shot. He himself was almost arrested as a nobleman . In the depths of the soul mates do not like and can not wait for a third world war , to betray them . But he only wants to play for sure, but in such cases is always the risk of need ».
Father John knew a lot of people and addresses before the war and never betrayed anyone , it was repeatedly tested , but Stroganov him to his still would not let me , saying: " It is a reliable man , but a terrible Russian anarchist, and believes that between him and the Lord is no legitimate hierarchy not. And it is only invisible so far, and it is impossible not to recognize ».
Father John received from Simansky Grebnevskiye coming under Fryazino with two huge historic temples ( architects A. Voronikhin and I. Starov E ) , in the former Bibikovskiy estate. He was also awarded two crosses , a club, a miter , and somehow the Order with the star. He started the crest their orders , all fed and blew all night, took pilgrims from everywhere , among whom were catacomb . He was smeshliv liked noisy feast, vodka watered Sergianist priests of the royal quarters with eagles , but did not drink .
He served very well , people are going to it , but sometimes he said sadly : "Everything I have , and I have nothing . In prison, it was easier . " His wife and children left him a long time , and one of his sons , bald , like a royal official, taught us in SKHSH Lavrushinsky for literature and had a squeaky voice nasty nickname " thesis ." This Thesis wife was thick, small, blunt , animal face and cried when Father John reproached her husband for what he does not respect his father - priest. I saw it by chance when visited the crest , and the thesis was uncomfortable that his humiliated when his pupil , and he could not help me inflated mark. Looks like he's hiding who his father is . Then it did a lot . Priesthood was considered shameful profession. But now Sergianists priests replaced party organizers and proudly walk the streets in robes , next to his thick , beefy matushkas for imported cosmetics. And they love to brake squeal their foreign cars , frightening passersby , as do the Chechen mafia . And they both smiled happily through the bluish glass gold teeth , scaring timid as sheep citizens. Father John , in spite of all the awards the Patriarch felt had settled temporarily Kalika - stranger, ready at any time move on. Before the war , my father wrote to him very much like a portrait, and after the war he was the same , but a little drier and popergamentnee . Father John was at home is very simple , eat horrible , horrible than sleeping on the night and blew into his cell, because of the closeness , all sorts of people . Money kept in the house , they were in a clever , cunning old woman from a very wealthy merchant family that was once a nun Novodevichy Convent. He was handing out money to the poor and strangers to the penny. "They go away from me like water ," - he said .
Father John thought of all the Soviet people stupid and weak : "They themselves and forgotten God , live like dandelions one-day Blow on them - and there is nothing . Their Soyuz ever wind inflate anyone is godless herd in zhist not necessary. One dream stupid universal and all . To these people need? Herd fools gave bandits and walk the streets with flags , and clap , clap . Fie on them, damned ! Ugh! Will they still like beggar worldwide go and beg for crusts . They will all laugh - and squandered his country came to us . " As he looked into the water , and so tell everyone and everywhere , but not from the pulpit - sermons he did not read , saying, " If I speak, and captivating ( and I enjoy ) , then immediately taken away me in jail . Experience is such I had . Directly from the service seized and straight into the camera , in the garb ».
Service at Sergianists father John ended badly, despite all the rewards that it puts Patriarch Alexy I. Having learned in prison jargon , father John said : "What he gave me copper tchotchke as Santa Claus puts on - them on the Day of Judgement will not take with him ."
