An excerpt characterizing Emmanuel, Georgy Arsenievich
- Why do you know?- I know. This is not good, my friend.
- And if I want ... - Natasha said.
“Stop talking nonsense,” said the Countess.
- And if I want ...
- Natasha, I'm serious ...
Natasha did not let her finish, drew the countess's large hand to her and kissed it from above, then into her palm, then turned and began kissing her again on the bone of the upper joint of her finger, then in between, then again into the bone, whispering: “January, February , March April May".
- Speak, mother, why are you silent? Speak, ”she said, looking back at her mother, who looked at her daughter with a tender glance and, because of this contemplation, seemed to have forgotten everything she wanted to say.
“It won't do, my soul. Not everyone will understand your childhood connection, and seeing him so close to you can harm you in the eyes of other young people who come to us, and, most importantly, tortures him in vain. He may have found himself a party of his own, rich; and now he's losing his mind.
- Coming off? Natasha repeated.
- I'll tell you about myself. I had one cousin ...
- I know - Kirilla Matveich, but he's an old man, isn't he?
- It was not always an old man. But here's what, Natasha, I'll talk to Borey. He doesn't need to travel so often ...
- Why not, if he wants to?
“Because I know it won't end with anything.
- Why do you know? No, mom, you don't tell him. What nonsense! - Natasha said in the tone of a man from whom they want to take away his property.
- Well, I will not marry, so let him go, if he has fun and I have fun. Natasha looked at her mother, smiling.
“Not married, but so,” she repeated.
- How is it, my friend?
- Yes, so. Well, it is very necessary that I will not marry, but ... so.
- So, so, - repeated the countess and, shaking with all her body, laughed a kind, unexpected old woman's laugh.
- Completely laugh, stop, - Natasha shouted, - you shake the whole bed. You look terribly like me, the same giggle ... Wait ... - She grabbed both hands of the Countess, kissed her little finger on one bone - June, and continued kissing July, August on the other hand. - Mom, is he very much in love? How are your eyes? Were you so in love? And very nice, very, very nice! Only not quite to my taste - it is narrow, like a dining room clock ... Don't you understand? ... Narrow, you know, gray, light ...
- What are you lying! Said the Countess.
Natasha continued:
- Do you really not understand? Nikolenka would have understood ... Earless - that blue, dark blue with red, and it is quadrangular.
“You’re flirting with him too,” the Countess said, laughing.
- No, he is a Freemason, I found out. It's nice, dark blue with red, how can you explain ...
“Countess,” came the count's voice from behind the door. - Are you awake? - Natasha jumped up barefoot, grabbed her shoes and ran to her room.
She could not sleep for a long time. She kept thinking that no one can understand everything that she understands and what is in her.
"Sonya?" she thought, looking at the sleeping, curled up kitty with her huge braid. “No, where is she! She is virtuous. She fell in love with Nikolenka and doesn't want to know anything else. Mom, she doesn't understand either. It's amazing how smart I am and how ... she is cute, "she continued, speaking to herself in the third person and imagining that this is being said about her by some very smart, the most intelligent and good man… “Everything, everything in her,” the man continued, “is unusually clever, sweet and then good, unusually good, dexterous — she swims, rides well, and her voice! You can say an amazing voice! " She sang her favorite musical phrase from the Cherubin's opera, threw herself on the bed, laughed at the joyful thought that she would fall asleep, shouted to Dunyasha to put out the candle, and before Dunyasha had time to leave the room, she had already passed into another, even happier world of dreams where everything was as easy and beautiful as in reality, but it was even better, because it was different.
The next day the Countess, having invited Boris to her place, talked to him, and from that day he stopped visiting the Rostovs.
On the 31st of December, on the eve of the new year 1810, le reveillon [night supper], there was a ball at the Catherine's grandee. The ball was supposed to be a diplomatic corps and a sovereign.
On the Promenade des Anglais, the famous nobleman's house shone with countless illumination lights. At the lighted entrance with a red cloth stood the police, and not only gendarmes, but a police chief at the entrance and dozens of police officers. The carriages drove off, and new ones arrived, with red footmen and footmen in feathers on their hats. Men in uniforms, stars and ribbons emerged from the carriages; ladies in satin and ermines cautiously walked down the noisy steps, and hurriedly and soundlessly walked along the cloth of the entrance.
Almost every time a new carriage arrived, there was a whisper in the crowd and hats were taken off.
- Sovereign? ... No, minister ... prince ... envoy ... Can't you see the feathers? ... - said from the crowd. One of the crowd, dressed better than the others, seemed to know everyone, and called by name the noblest nobles of that time.
Already one third of the guests had arrived at this ball, and the Rostovs, who were supposed to be at this ball, were still hastily preparing for dressing.
There was a lot of talk and preparations for this ball in the Rostov family, there were many fears that the invitation would not be received, the dress would not be ready, and everything would not be arranged the way it was needed.
Together with the Rostovs went to the ball Marya Ignatievna Peronskaya, a friend and relative of the Countess, a thin and yellow maid of honor of the old court, leading the provincial Rostovs in the highest Petersburg society.
At 10 o'clock in the evening the Rostovs were supposed to call for the maid of honor at the Tauride Garden; and meanwhile it was already five minutes to ten, and the young ladies were not yet dressed.
Natasha went to the first big ball in her life. She got up that day at 8 o'clock in the morning and was in feverish anxiety and activity all day. All her forces, from the very morning, were directed to ensure that they all: she, mother, Sonya were dressed as best as possible. Sonya and the Countess vouched completely to her. The countess was supposed to be wearing a masaka velvet dress, they were wearing two white smoky dresses on pink, silk covers with roses in a corsage. The hair had to be combed a la grecque [in Greek].
Everything essential had already been done: the legs, arms, neck, ears were already especially carefully, according to the ballroom, washed, perfumed and powdered; they were already shod with silk fishnet stockings and white satin shoes with bows; the hairstyles were almost finished. Sonya finished dressing, and so did the Countess; but Natasha, who was busy with everyone, fell behind. She was still sitting in front of the mirror in a dressing-gown draped over her slender shoulders. Sonya, already dressed, stood in the middle of the room, pressing her small finger painfully, pinning the last ribbon squealing under the pin.
“Not so, not so, Sonya,” said Natasha, turning her head from her hair and clutching at the hair with her hands, which the maid who held them did not have time to let go. - Not so bow, come here. - Sonya sat down. Natasha split the tape differently.
“Excuse me, young lady, you can't do that,” said the maid, who was holding Natasha's hair.
- Oh, my God, well after! That's it, Sonya.
- Are you soon? - the countess's voice was heard, - it's ten now.
- Now. - Are you ready, Mom?
- Just pin it.
- Don't do it without me, - Natasha shouted: - you won't be able to!
- Yes, ten.
It was decided to be at the ball at half past ten, while Natasha still had to get dressed and stop by the Tauride Garden.
Having finished her hair, Natasha, in a short skirt, from under which she could see the ballroom shoes, and in her mother's blouse, ran up to Sonya, examined her, and then ran to her mother. Turning her head, she pinned the current, and, barely having time to kiss her gray hair, again ran to the girls who were hemming her skirt.
The matter was behind Natasha's skirt, which was too long; it was hemmed by two girls, hastily biting off the thread. The third, with pins in her lips and teeth, ran from the countess to Sonya; the fourth held the entire smoky dress on her hand held high.
- Mavrusha, rather, my dear!
- Give me a thimble from there, young lady.
- Is it soon, finally? - said the count, entering from behind the door. - Here's a perfume. Peronskaya was already tired of waiting.
- Done, young lady, - said the maid, lifting the hemmed smoky dress with two fingers and blowing and shaking something, expressing with this gesture the consciousness of the airiness and purity of what she was holding.
Natasha began to put on a dress.
“Now, now, don't go, dad,” she shouted to her father, who opened the door, even from under the haze of her skirt that covered her entire face. Sonya slammed the door. A minute later the count was admitted. He was in a blue dress coat, stockings and shoes, perfumed and oiled.
- Oh, dad, how good you are, lovely! - said Natasha, standing in the middle of the room and straightening the folds of the haze.
“Excuse me, young lady, excuse me,” said the girl, kneeling, pulling on her dress and turning the pins with her tongue from one side of her mouth to the other.
- Your will! - With despair in her voice Sonya cried out, looking at Natasha's dress, - your will, it's long again!
Natasha walked away to look around in the pier glass. The dress was long.
“By God, madam, nothing is long,” said Mavrusha, crawling along the floor behind the young lady.
“Well, it’s long, so we’ll sweep it up, we’ll sweep it in one minute,” said resolute Dunyasha, taking out the needle from the handkerchief on her chest and again on the floor starting to work.
At this time the Countess entered, with shy, quiet steps, in her current and velvet dress.
- Whoa! my beauty! - the count shouted, - better than all of you! ... - He wanted to hug her, but she pulled back, blushing, so as not to wrinkle.
- Mom, more on the side of the current, - said Natasha. - I will pinch, and rushed forward, and the girls who were hemming, who did not have time to rush after her, tore off a piece of the haze.
- Oh my God! What is this? I am not to blame for her God ...
- Nothing, I sweep it, it won't be visible, - said Dunyasha.
- Beauty, stealing that is mine! The nanny came in from behind the door. - And then Sonya, well, beauties! ...
At quarter past ten they finally got into the carriages and drove off. But I still had to stop by the Tauride Garden.
Peronskaya was already ready. Despite her old age and ugliness, she had exactly the same thing that the Rostovs did, although not with such haste (for her it was a habitual thing), but it was also perfumed, washed, powdered old, ugly body, also diligently washed behind the ears , and even, and just like the Rostovs, the old maid admired with enthusiasm the attire of her mistress when she went into the living room in a yellow dress with a cipher. Peronskaya praised the Rostovs' toilets.
The Rostovs praised her taste and dress, and, taking care of their hairstyles and dresses, at eleven o'clock settled in the carriages and drove off.
Since the morning of that day Natasha had not had a moment of freedom, and never had time to think about what lay ahead for her.
In the damp, cold air, in the cramped and incomplete darkness of the swaying carriage, for the first time she vividly imagined what awaited her there, at the ball, in the lighted halls - music, flowers, dances, the sovereign, all the brilliant youth of St. Petersburg. What awaited her was so beautiful that she did not even believe that it would be: it was so incongruous with the impression of the cold, cramped and dark carriage. She understood everything that awaited her only when, walking along the red cloth of the entrance, she entered the entrance, took off her fur coat and walked alongside Sonya in front of her mother between the flowers along the illuminated staircase. Only then did she remember how she had to behave at the ball and tried to adopt that majestic manner, which she considered necessary for a girl at the ball. But fortunately for her, she felt that her eyes were scattering: she could not see anything clearly, her pulse beat a hundred times a minute, and the blood began to pound at her heart. She could not accept the manner that would make her ridiculous, and walked, dying with excitement and trying with all her might to only hide him. And this was the very manner that most of all went to her. In front and behind them, talking in the same quiet manner and in ball gowns, the guests entered. The mirrors on the stairs reflected ladies in white, blue, pink dresses, with diamonds and pearls on open arms and necks.
Natasha looked in the mirrors and in the reflection could not distinguish herself from others. Everything blended into one brilliant procession. At the entrance to the first hall, the uniform hum of voices, steps, greetings - deafened Natasha; the light and brilliance blinded her even more. The owner and hostess, who had already been standing for half an hour front door and those who spoke the same words to those who entered: "charme de vous voir", [in admiration that I see you] met the Rostovs and Peronskaya in the same way.
Two girls in white dresses, with the same roses in black hair, sat down in the same way, but involuntarily the hostess stopped her eyes for a longer time at slender Natasha. She looked at her, and she alone smiled especially in addition to her master's smile. Looking at her, the hostess remembered, perhaps, her golden, irrevocable girlish time, and her first ball. The owner also watched Natasha with his eyes and asked the count, who is his daughter?

Elbrus and Emmanuel
Yes, perhaps only one thing - the names begin with the letter "E" But Georgy Arsenievich Emmanuel is a Russian military leader, a general from the cavalry of the Russian Imperial Army.And his name is directly connected both with the Caucasus and with the conquest of Elbrus in particular. What Emmanuel has done in his life is not exactly one post to describe, here is just one fact: "In 1788, when Emmanuel was only 13 years old, the Turks invaded Banat towards Belgrade.
Everyone on their way fled, the inhabitants of Vershits also left the city in the majority, but 13-year-old Emmanuel gathered his comrades and persuaded them to defend the city. Having procured weapons, the boys began to actively prepare for defense and posted guards and posts everywhere.
When the Turks approached the city, the youths defending it met them from the walls with cannon fire.
The Turks, thinking that Vershits was occupied by a strong garrison, did not dare to approach him and passed by. “No, do you understand? - at the age of 13!

Already in the next year, thanks to E. 30007 people of both sexes).
As a reward for this accession, made not by force of arms, but by clever orders, Emmanuel was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky. The next year, wishing to collect accurate information about Mount Elbrus and its surroundings, and at the same time having in mind to make a strong impression in the minds of the mountaineers with the appearance in the very heart of their fortresses-auls, he decided to undertake an expedition to Elbrus.
In this expedition, at his suggestion, the Academy of Sciences also took part, which elected him its honorary member.

He was once again convinced of the possibility of reaching its top. At 11 o'clock, returning to his camp, the general began to form a caravan, which was to accompany the naturalist scientists.
“The hunters were summoned. Twenty Cossacks and one Kabardian named Kilyar came out.” The expedition spent the night at one of the sites on the black mountains. “Only the next day - 23 July - at the very noon, the Hungarian traveler de Besse noticed four people through a telescope on the sparkling covers of Elbrus, who were trying to reach the top of the mountain.
Three of them soon disappeared from sight, the fourth rose higher and higher - and suddenly his figure was outlined in relief over the very crown of Elbrus. He was, as it turned out later, the Kabardian Kilyar, a native of Nalchik. "The scientific expedition descended to the camp on the same day, July 23. In honor of this event, General Emmanuel gave a ceremonial dinner, which was attended by representatives of Kabarda, Karachai, Uruspia and other Trans-Kuban peoples A toast to Emperor Nikolai Pavlovich, the patron saint of sciences, was accompanied by a gun salvo.
They raised a toast to General Emmanuel, to scientists, to the Kabardian Kilyar, to the actual annexation of Elbrus to the possessions Russian Empire... Kilyar was awarded a solemnly deserved prize. And these are the inhabitants of Emmanuel's glade - gophers (pikas, euraska, carbish, tarbagans, perhaps there are more options)
It was visible from afar, by his precisely calibrated movements on the trail and by his classy equipment.

How could such a strange shape, reminiscent of a swimming swan, have formed? This morning, my internal alarm went off again, which usually haunts me in those places where interesting subjects are expected for shooting.
And so it turned out. Not only met the dawn, but also ran after the herd of horses, and then photographed them against the background of snow-white Elbrus.
I was running along the slopes almost until lunchtime, so Zhenya could hardly wait for me, but it seems not in vain. Biography
