The fate of the narrator is similar to the fate of Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn himself - he is also a front-line soldier. And also his return from the front was delayed "for ten years." That is, I had to serve time for nothing - like half the country, if not more, was then in the camps.

The hero dreams of working as a teacher in the rural outback - away from civilization. He left the link "in the dusty hot desert" - and now he is irresistibly drawn to the middle lane of his beloved Russia.

In 1956, Ignatich was rehabilitated and in the summer he got off the train at one hundred and eighty-four kilometers from Moscow.

At first he wanted to live in the village of Vysokoe Pole, but only there were shortages of bread. Not bad with food in another village - but the hero is disgusted by his terrible Soviet name "Peat product". However, there are not only peat bogs around... The teacher settles in the village of Talnovo, where he teaches mathematics at school. Matrena Vasilievna Grigorieva takes him to an apartment (or rather, to a hut). They live in the same room, but the old woman (she is sixty years old) is so quiet and helpful that no conflicts arise, except that the hero, out of camp habit, was worried that the woman had somehow mistakenly put on his quilted jacket. Moreover, the loudspeaker irritates Ignatich very much - he cannot stand the noise at all, and especially the jaunty radio.

Matrona's hut is old. Her best part - by the window - is occupied by stools and benches with her favorite ficuses and other plants. This shows the kindness of Matrena, her love for all living things. She is a completely disinterested person - she never “chased the equipment”, she didn’t save herself any good, she helped strangers. Of all the good things in Matryona, there is only a lame cat, picked up out of pity, and a dirty-white goat with crooked horns. Well, more mice and cockroaches...

Gradually, Matrena tells the tenant about her life. She got married early, because her mother died and she had to somehow arrange her life. She liked one young man - Thaddeus. Yes, he went to the front (it was before the revolution, in the First World War) and disappeared without a trace. She waited for him for three years - "no news, no bones." Received an offer from the younger brother of Thaddeus - Efim. Agreed, got married. And after a short time, Thaddeus returned from the Hungarian captivity. He loved Matryona very much - he almost chopped his brother with an ax from jealousy and ex-fiancee. But nothing, settled down.

Thaddeus also married over time, and Matrena also took his wife, not otherwise - in memory of his first love. "Second Matryona" gave birth to Thaddeus six children, all are alive. But Matryona, although she gave birth to children, but they “did not stand” with her - they did not live up to three months. The village decided that she was "spoiled." Then Matryona took Thaddeus's daughter Kira to bring up and raised her for a long time - until she got married and moved to a neighboring village to her husband.

The fact that Matryona has no good does not speak of her laziness - she gets up every day at four or five in the morning, there are plenty of things to do. She is always ready to help her neighbor dig potatoes or run at the call of the chairman's wife to help in collective farm affairs. She does not take money from anyone - which is why they consider her stupid.

Matryona did not receive a pension, although she could receive it due to her age and illness. Half her life she worked on the collective farm for "sticks" of workdays. And she got in the way of “peasant work”: even, like a Nekrasov heroine, she stopped a galloping horse, and he almost knocked her into an ice hole!

Matryona's selflessness is so great, and her love for her neighbors is so strong that she decides to give half of her hut and property to her adopted daughter Kira during her lifetime. Thaddeus supports her decision: and loads parts of the house and belongings on a sleigh. Together with his sons, he drags the goods of his former beloved across the railway tracks. Matryona helped them and died, lingering at the sleigh.

Fellow villagers cannot appreciate the nobility of Matryona. There is a cry over the coffin - but, rather, out of duty and out of decency. Soon the division of property begins, in which both the greedy sisters of the deceased and her best friend Masha take part. And Thaddeus, in general, the unwitting culprit of the death of his former beloved, did not even appear at the wake.

And only the teacher, Matrenin, a guest, clearly understands that Matryona is the righteous man without whom "the village does not stand."

“A village does not stand without a righteous man” - this is how the story “Matryona Dvor” was originally supposed to be called

In the summer of 1956, at the one hundred and eighty-fourth kilometer from Moscow, a passenger got off along the railway line to Murom and Kazan. This is a narrator whose fate is reminiscent of the fate of Solzhenitsyn himself (he fought, but from the front he “delayed with the return of ten years”, that is, he spent time in the camp, which is also evidenced by the fact that when the narrator got a job, every letter in his documents "perepal"). He dreams of working as a teacher in the depths of Russia, away from urban civilization. But living in the village with the wonderful name High Field did not work out, because they did not bake bread and did not sell anything edible there. And then he is transferred to a village with a monstrous name for his hearing Peat product. However, it turns out that “not everything is around peat extraction” and there are also villages with the names Chaslitsy, Ovintsy, Spudni, Shevertni, Shestimirovo ...

This reconciles the narrator with his share, for it promises him "condo Russia". In one of the villages called Talnovo, he settles. The mistress of the hut in which the narrator lodges is called Matryona Vasilievna Grigorieva or simply Matryona.

The fate of Matryona, about which she does not immediately, not considering it interesting for a "cultured" person, sometimes in the evenings tells the guest, fascinates and at the same time stuns him. He sees a special meaning in her fate, which is not noticed by fellow villagers and relatives of Matryona. The husband went missing at the beginning of the war. He loved Matryona and did not beat her like village husbands beat their wives. But Matryona herself hardly loved him. She was supposed to marry her husband's older brother, Thaddeus. However, he went to the front in the first world war and disappeared. Matryona was waiting for him, but in the end, at the insistence of the Thaddeus family, she married her younger brother, Yefim. And suddenly Thaddeus returned, who was in Hungarian captivity. According to him, he did not hack Matryona and her husband with an ax just because Yefim is his brother. Thaddeus loved Matryona so much that he found a new bride for himself with the same name. The “second Matryona” gave birth to Thaddeus six children, but the “first Matryona” had all the children from Yefim (also six) died before they even lived for three months. The whole village decided that Matryona was “spoiled”, and she herself believed in it. Then she took up the daughter of the “second Matryona” - Kira, raised her for ten years, until she got married and left for the village of Cherusti.

Matryona lived all her life as if not for herself. She constantly works for someone: for a collective farm, for neighbors, while doing “peasant” work, and never asks for money for it. There is a huge inner strength in Matryona. For example, she is able to stop a rushing horse on the run, which men cannot stop.

Gradually, the narrator realizes that it is precisely on people like Matryona, who give themselves to others without a trace, that the whole village and the whole Russian land still rests. But this discovery hardly pleases him. If Russia rests only on selfless old women, what will happen to her next?

Hence the absurdly tragic end of the story. Matryona dies helping Thaddeus and his sons to drag part of their own hut, bequeathed to Kira, across the railroad on a sleigh. Thaddeus did not want to wait for the death of Matryona and decided to take the inheritance for the young during her lifetime. Thus, he unwittingly provoked her death. When relatives bury Matryona, they cry more out of duty than from the heart, and think only about the final division of Matryona's property.

Thaddeus doesn't even come to the wake.

"Matrenin Dvor" by Solzhenitsyn - a story about tragic fate open, not like her fellow villagers woman Matrena. Published for the first time in the magazine New world in 1963.

The story is told in the first person. Main character becomes Matrena's tenant and talks about her amazing fate. The first title of the story, “A village is not worth without a righteous man,” conveyed the idea of ​​​​a work about a pure, disinterested soul well, but was replaced in order to avoid problems with censorship.

main characters

Narrator- a middle-aged man who served lines in prison and wants a quiet, peaceful life in the Russian outback. Settled at Matryona and talks about the fate of the heroine.

Matryona a single woman in her sixties. She lives alone in her hut, often gets sick.

Other characters

Thaddeus- a former lover of Matryona, a tenacious, greedy old man.

Sisters Matryona- women who seek their own benefit in everything treat Matryona as a consumer.

One hundred and eighty-four kilometers from Moscow, on the road to Kazan and Murom, train passengers were always surprised by a serious decrease in speed. People rushed to the windows and talked about the possible repair of the tracks. Passing this section, the train picked up its previous speed again. And the reason for the slowdown was known only to the machinists and the author.

Chapter 1

In the summer of 1956, the author was returning from "a burning desert at random just to Russia." His return "was dragged on for ten years," and he had no where, no one to rush to. The narrator wanted to go somewhere in the Russian hinterland with forests and fields.

He dreamed of "teaching" away from the bustle of the city, and he was sent to the town with the poetic name High Field. The author did not like it there, and he asked to be redirected to a place with a terrible name "Peat product". Upon arrival at the village, the narrator understands that it is “easier to come here than to leave later.”

In addition to the hostess, mice, cockroaches, and a lame cat picked up out of pity lived in the hut.

Every morning, the hostess woke up at 5 am, afraid to oversleep, because she did not really trust her watch, which was already 27 years old. She fed her "dirty white crooked-horned goat" and prepared a simple breakfast for the guest.

Somehow Matryona learned from rural women that "a new pension law has come out." And Matryona began to seek a pension, but it was very difficult to get it, the different offices to which the woman was sent were located tens of kilometers from each other, and the day had to be spent, because of one signature.

People in the village lived in poverty, despite the fact that peat bogs spread for hundreds of kilometers around Talnovo, the peat from them "belonged to the trust." Rural women had to drag bags of peat for themselves for the winter, hiding from the raids of the guards. The land here was sandy, yielded by the poor.

People in the village often called Matryona to their garden, and she, leaving her business, went to help them. Talnovo women almost lined up to take Matryona to their garden, because she worked for pleasure, rejoicing at a good harvest from others.

Once a month and a half, the hostess had a turn to feed the shepherds. This dinner “driven Matryona into a big expense,” because she had to buy sugar, canned food, and butter. The grandmother herself did not allow herself such a luxury even for the holidays, living only on what the wretched garden gave her.

Matryona once told about the horse Volchka, who got scared and "carried the sleigh into the lake." “The men jumped back, and she grabbed the bridle and stopped it.” At the same time, despite the seeming fearlessness, the hostess was afraid of the fire and, to the point of trembling in her knees, the train.

By the winter, Matryona nevertheless counted her pension. Neighbors began to envy her. And my grandmother finally ordered herself new felt boots, a coat from an old overcoat, and hid two hundred rubles for the funeral.

Once, three of her younger sisters came to Matryona at Epiphany evenings. The author was surprised, because he had not seen them before. I thought maybe they were afraid that Matryona would ask them for help, so they didn’t come.

With the receipt of a pension, the grandmother seemed to come to life, and the work was easier for her, and the disease bothered less often. Only one event darkened my grandmother's mood: at Epiphany in the church, someone took her pot of holy water, and she was left without water and without a pot.

Chapter 2

Talnovo women asked Matryona about her lodger. And she passed questions to him. The author told the hostess only that he was in prison. He himself did not ask about the old woman's past, did not think that there was something interesting there. I only knew that she got married and came to this hut as a mistress. She had six children, but they all died. Later she had a pupil Kira. And Matrona's husband did not return from the war.

Somehow, having come home, the narrator saw an old man - Faddey Mironovich. He came to ask for his son - Antoshka Grigoriev. The author recalls that for this insanely lazy and arrogant boy, who was transferred from class to class just so as not to “spoil academic performance”, sometimes for some reason Matryona herself asked. After the petitioner left, the narrator learned from the hostess that it was the brother of her missing husband. That evening she told him that she was to marry him. As a nineteen-year-old girl, Matrena loved Thaddeus. But he was taken to the war, where he went missing. Three years later, Thaddeus's mother died, the house was left without a mistress, and Thaddeus's younger brother, Efim, came to woo the girl. No longer hoping to see her beloved, Matryona got married in the hot summer and became the mistress of this house, and in the winter Thaddeus returned “from the Hungarian captivity”. Matryona threw herself at his feet, and he said that "if it were not for my brother, I would have chopped you both."

He later took “another Matryona” as his wife, a girl from a neighboring village, whom he chose as his wife only because of her name.

The author recalled how she came to the hostess and often complained that her husband beats and offends her. She bore Thaddeus six children. And Matryona's children were born and died almost immediately. It's the corruption, she thought.

Soon the war began, and Yefim was taken away from where he never returned. Lonely Matryona took little Kira from the "Second Matryona" and raised her for 10 years, until the girl married a driver and left. Since Matryona was very ill, she soon took care of the will, in which she awarded the pupil part of her hut - a wooden annex room.

Kira came to visit and said that in Cherusty (where she lives), in order to get land for young people, it is necessary to build some kind of building. For this purpose, the bequeathed Matryona chamber was very suitable. Thaddeus began to come often and persuade the woman to give her up now, during her lifetime. Matryona did not feel sorry for the upper room, but it was terrible to break the roof of the house. And so, on a cold February day, Thaddeus came with his sons and began to separate the upper room, which he once built with his father.

For two weeks the chamber lay near the house, because the blizzard covered all the roads. But Matryona was not herself, besides, her three sisters came and scolded her for allowing her to give up the upper room. On the same days, "the rickety cat wandered off the yard and disappeared," which greatly upset the hostess.

Once, returning from work, the narrator saw how the old man Thaddeus drove a tractor and loaded a dismantled upper room onto two makeshift sledges. After they drank moonshine and in the dark they drove the hut to Cherusti. Matryona went to see them off, but never returned. At one in the morning the author heard voices in the village. It turned out that the second sleigh, which, out of greed, Thaddeus attached to the first, got stuck on flights, crumbled. At that time, a steam locomotive was moving, it was not visible because of the hillock, because of the tractor engine it was not audible. He ran into a sleigh, one of the drivers, the son of Thaddeus and Matryona, died. Late at night, Matryona's friend Masha came, told about it, grieved, and then told the author that Matryona bequeathed her "bundle" to her, and she wants to take it in memory of her friend.

Chapter 3

The next morning, Matryona was going to be buried. The narrator describes how the sisters came to say goodbye to her, crying “for show” and blaming Thaddeus and his family for her death. Only Kira grieved sincerely for the deceased foster mother, and the “Second Matryona”, the wife of Thaddeus. The old man himself was not at the wake. When they were transporting the ill-fated upper room, the first sleigh with boards and armor remained standing at the crossing. And, at a time when one of his sons died, his son-in-law was under investigation, and his daughter Kira almost lost her mind with grief, he only worried about how to deliver the sled home, and begged all his friends to help him.

After Matryona's funeral, her hut was "filled up until spring", and the author moved to "one of her sister-in-laws". The woman often remembered Matryona, but all with condemnation. And in these memories arose completely new image a woman that was so strikingly different about the people around. Matryona lived with an open heart, she always helped others, she never refused to help anyone, even though her health was poor.

A. I. Solzhenitsyn ends his work with the words: “We all lived next to her, and did not understand that she was the same righteous man, without whom, according to the proverb, not a village stands. Neither city. Not all our land."

Conclusion

The work of Alexander Solzhenitsyn tells about the fate of a sincere Russian woman, who "had fewer sins than a rickety cat." The image of the main character is the image of that very righteous man, without whom the village cannot stand. Matryona devotes her whole life to others, there is not a drop of malice or falseness in her. People around take advantage of her kindness, and do not realize how holy and pure this woman's soul is.

Because brief retelling"Matrenin Dvor" does not convey the original author's speech and the atmosphere of the story, it is worth reading it in full.

"Matryonin's Yard"

In the summer of 1956, at the one hundred and eighty-fourth kilometer from Moscow, a passenger got off along the railway line to Murom and Kazan. This is a storyteller whose fate is reminiscent of the fate of Solzhenitsyn himself (he fought, but from the front he “delayed with the return of ten years”, that is, he spent time in the camp, which is also evidenced by the fact that when the narrator got a job, every letter in his documents "perepal").

This reconciles the narrator with his share, for it promises him "condo Russia". In one of the villages called Talnovo, he settles. The mistress of the hut in which the narrator lodges is called Matryona Vasilievna Grigoryeva, or simply Matryona.

The fate of Matryona, about which she does not immediately, not considering it interesting for a "cultured" person, sometimes in the evenings tells the guest, fascinates and at the same time stuns him.

And suddenly Thaddeus returned, who was in Hungarian captivity. According to him, he did not hack Matryona and her husband with an ax just because Yefim is his brother. Thaddeus loved Matryona so much that he found a new bride for himself with the same name. The “second Matryona” gave birth to Thaddeus six children, but the “first Matryona” had all the children from Yefim (also six) died before they even lived for three months. The whole village decided that Matryona was “spoiled”, and she herself believed in it.

Thaddeus did not want to wait for the death of Matryona and decided to take the inheritance for the young during her lifetime. Thus, he unwittingly provoked her death. When relatives bury Matryona, they cry more out of duty than from the heart, and think only about the final division of Matryona's property.

Thaddeus doesn't even come to the wake.

In the summer of 1956, the storyteller Ignatich returned to Russia from distant Kazakhstan. After several years spent in prison, it is very difficult for him to find a job as a teacher, so Ignatic decides to look for vacancies in the outback. After going through several villages, the teacher stops in the village of Talnovo, in the hut of Matryona Vasilievna Grigorieva. Ignatich immediately turned out to be a profitable guest for her, because for him the school, in addition to the rent, allocated a peat machine for heating in the winter.

Matrona's life was not easy. At the age of 19, Thaddeus began to woo her, but they did not have time to play a wedding, since Thaddeus went to war. For three years there was not a single news from Thaddeus, and Matryona, completely losing hope, married his younger brother Yefim. Thaddeus, freed from Hungarian captivity, returned to his homeland six months later and almost hacked to death Matryona and Yefim. Without ceasing to love Matryona, Thaddeus married a girl with the same name, who bore him six children. Matryona did not work out with children, all her children died before they reached three months. Having asked his wife Thaddeus for a daughter to raise, Matryona raised Kira for ten years, until she got married and moved.

Matryona lived her whole life for someone, but not for herself. She constantly worked for the collective farm and always helped all neighbors and petitioners for free, considering it her duty. Once in a month and a half, Matryona had the duty to feed the shepherds who grazed the goats. Then Matrena spent almost all her money on foods that she herself did not eat at all: canned food, butter, sugar. Trying to please the shepherds with a good dinner, she was afraid that for a bad dinner they would spread bad rumors about her in the village.

Constantly ill, Matrena decided that after her death, the log cabin of the upper room should go to Kira. Thaddeus found out that young people at that time were given a piece of land for free, and here Matrona's room came in handy more than ever. Thaddeus frequented Matryona, demanding to give back what he had promised, and a few days later Matryona made up her mind. Thaddeus and his sons quickly dismantled the room and loaded it onto two sledges, which the hired tractor was supposed to transfer to a new site. At the railway crossing, the cable that pulled the second sleigh burst. The tractor driver, the son of Thaddeus and Matryona, got along with a broken cable and did not notice the locomotive, which, without side lights, was backing up.

The court case on the death of three people was quickly hushed up, and Thaddeus did not even appear at the wake. In this story, Matrena symbolizes a simple and good-natured person from the hinterland, who did not chase wealth and unnecessary clothes all his life, but was always happy to help others in difficult times.

To better prepare for academic year, it is necessary to read as many works from the list of references as possible in the summer. This is how there will be more time in the fall to gain new knowledge. If now there is not enough strength for everything, then in this case you can scroll through a brief retelling of the chapters. Here we offer for reading the well-known, useful for essays and exams, Solzhenitsyn's story "Matryonin Dvor", an analysis of which you can find.

The year is 1956 on the calendar. The narrator, who wants to find peace and quiet, arrives in a town with an unusual name - High Field. But here he does not find peace, so he is redirected to the village of Torfprodukt (or the village of Talnovo). The hero stops at an elderly woman Matryona (here is her). The interior of the hut was not the best: cockroaches and mice were running on the floor, and a lame cat was groping at his feet.

Matryona lived according to a certain, established regime: getting up at 5 in the morning, feeding a goat and preparing a simple breakfast for her lodger - the storyteller. True, the woman did not have a pension, because in pursuit of endless seals, a huge number of kilometers had to be traveled, and opportunities did not allow.

The local residents of the village of Torfprodukt lived in poverty. The soil was not entirely suitable for crops, and the peat surrounding the settlement did not belong to Talnov people. They secretly stole it every year to heat their houses in the winter.

A distinctive feature of Matryona was that she always came to everyone's aid. So, for example, a woman never refused the villagers to do housework. She happily took care of other people's gardens and rejoiced in someone else's harvest.

The most costly for the heroine was the regular feeding of the shepherds once every six weeks. Then Matryona spent a lot of money on buying products that she never ate herself. But she couldn't refuse.

Winter came, and the heroine still received a pension. After that, she seemed to blossom: she bought herself new felt boots, a coat, and set aside the remaining money for the funeral. But, despite all the responsiveness and help, the villagers began to envy her.

When the time came for Baptism, the sisters of the main character unexpectedly came to visit. Perhaps they wanted to take part of Matryona's pension for themselves, but the woman herself did not care. Her affliction was only a stolen bucket of holy water from the church.

Chapter 2

Neither the narrator himself nor Matryona particularly shared their personal lives. The guest only told that he was in prison, and the heroine shared her unfortunate fate: she got married, but all the children died suddenly, and then her husband did not come from the front.

One day, a certain Thaddeus comes to visit. Later, the narrator learns that this is the younger brother of Matryona's husband. That same evening, the woman decides to tell about her life in more detail.

All her life, the heroine loved only Thaddeus, but she married his brother, because her beloved went missing at the front, and the relatives insisted that the girl not languish, but get married and help the groom's family with the housework. Unfortunately, none of their six children survived. After returning from captivity, Thaddeus hated his relatives for betrayal, married and became the father of six children.

Soon, the older brother, Matryona's husband, is also taken to the war, but he goes missing. As an au pair, the heroine takes her niece Kira, whom she has been raising for ten years. Feeling deteriorating health, Matryona writes a will in which she gives part of the house to a young girl.

Due to the strong rumble of the tractor, no one heard the whistle of the approaching steam locomotive ... At one o'clock in the morning, terrible news spread around Talnovo - the son of Thaddeus and Matryona died on the railway tracks.
