An excerpt characterizing Leopold the Cat

After the clash at Vyazma, where Kutuzov could not restrain his troops from the desire to overturn, cut off, etc., the further movement of the fleeing French and the Russians who fled after them, to Krasnoye, took place without battles. The flight was so fast that the Russian army running after the French could not keep up with them, that the horses in the cavalry and artillery became weak and that information about the movement of the French was always incorrect.
The people of the Russian army were so exhausted by this continuous movement of forty miles a day that they could not move faster.
To understand the degree of exhaustion of the Russian army, you only need to clearly understand the significance of the fact that, having lost no more than five thousand people wounded and killed during the entire movement from Tarutino, without losing hundreds of people as prisoners, the Russian army, which left Tarutino numbering one hundred thousand, came to Red in the number of fifty thousand.
The rapid movement of the Russians after the French had just as destructive an effect on the Russian army as the flight of the French. The only difference was that the Russian army moved arbitrarily, without the threat of death that hung over the French army, and that the backward sick of the French remained in the hands of the enemy, the backward Russians remained at home. The main reason for the decrease in Napoleon's army was the speed of movement, and the undoubted proof of this is the corresponding decrease in Russian troops.
All of Kutuzov’s activities, as was the case near Tarutin and near Vyazma, were aimed only at ensuring, as far as was in his power, not to stop this movement disastrous for the French (as the Russian generals wanted in St. Petersburg and in the army), but assist him and facilitate the movement of his troops.
But, in addition, since the fatigue and huge loss that occurred in the troops due to the speed of movement appeared in the troops, another reason seemed to Kutuzov to slow down the movement of the troops and to wait. The goal of the Russian troops was to follow the French. The path of the French was unknown, and therefore the closer our troops followed on the heels of the French, the greater the distance they covered. Only by following at a certain distance was it possible to cut the zigzags that the French were making along the shortest path. All the skillful maneuvers that the generals proposed were expressed in the movements of troops, in increasing the transitions, and the only reasonable goal was to reduce these transitions. And Kutuzov’s activity was directed towards this goal throughout the entire campaign, from Moscow to Vilna - not by accident, not temporarily, but so consistently that he never betrayed it.
Kutuzov knew not with his mind or science, but with his whole Russian being, he knew and felt what every Russian soldier felt, that the French were defeated, that the enemies were fleeing and it was necessary to see them out; but at the same time, he felt, along with the soldiers, the full weight of this campaign, unheard of in its speed and time of year.
But to the generals, especially not Russians, who wanted to distinguish themselves, to surprise someone, to take some duke or king prisoner for something - it seemed to the generals now, when every battle was disgusting and meaningless, it seemed to them that now was the time fight and defeat someone. Kutuzov only shrugged his shoulders when, one after another, he was presented with plans for maneuvers with those poorly shod, without sheepskin coats, half-starved soldiers, who in one month, without battles, had melted to half and with whom, under the best conditions of ongoing flight, it was necessary to go to the border the space is larger than that which was traversed.
In particular, this desire to distinguish itself and maneuver, overturn and cut off was manifested when Russian troops encountered French troops.
So it happened near Krasnoye, where they thought to find one of the three columns of the French and came across Napoleon himself with sixteen thousand. Despite all the means used by Kutuzov in order to get rid of this disastrous clash and in order to save his troops, for three days Krasny continued to finish off the defeated gatherings of the French with the exhausted people of the Russian army.
Toll wrote the disposition: die erste Colonne marschiert [the first column will go there then], etc. And, as always, everything was not done according to the disposition. Prince Eugene of Wirtemberg shot at the fleeing crowds of Frenchmen from the mountain and demanded reinforcements, which did not come. The French, running around the Russians at night, scattered, hid in the forests and made their way further as best they could.
Miloradovich, who said that he did not want to know anything about the economic affairs of the detachment, which could never be found when he was needed, “chevalier sans peur et sans reproche” [“knight without fear and reproach”], as he called himself , and eager to talk with the French, sent envoys demanding surrender, and lost time and did not do what he was ordered.
“I give you guys this column,” he said, driving up to the troops and pointing to the cavalrymen at the French. And the cavalrymen on thin, tattered, barely moving horses, urging them on with spurs and sabers, at a trot, after great exertion, drove up to the donated column, that is, to a crowd of frostbitten, numb and hungry Frenchmen; and the donated column threw down its weapons and surrendered, which it had long wanted.
At Krasnoe they took twenty-six thousand prisoners, hundreds of cannons, some kind of stick, which was called a marshal's baton, and they argued about who had distinguished himself there, and were happy with that, but they very much regretted that they did not take Napoleon or at least some hero, Marshal, and reproached each other and especially Kutuzov for this.
These people, carried away by their passions, were blind executors of only the saddest law of necessity; but they considered themselves heroes and imagined that what they did was the most worthy and noble thing. They accused Kutuzov and said that from the very beginning of the campaign he had prevented them from defeating Napoleon, that he only thought about satisfying his passions and did not want to leave the Linen Factories because he was at peace there; that he stopped the movement near Krasny only because, having learned about Napoleon’s presence, he was completely lost; that it can be assumed that he is in a conspiracy with Napoleon, that he is bribed by him, [Wilson's Notes. (Note by L.N. Tolstoy.) ], etc., etc.
Not only did contemporaries, carried away by passions, say so, but posterity and history recognized Napoleon as grand, and Kutuzov: foreigners as a cunning, depraved, weak old court man; Russians - something indefinable - some kind of doll, useful only by its Russian name...

In 12 and 13, Kutuzov was directly blamed for mistakes. The Emperor was dissatisfied with him. And in history, written recently by order of the highest, it is said that Kutuzov was a cunning court liar, who was afraid of the name of Napoleon and with his mistakes at Krasnoye and near Berezina deprived the Russian troops of glory - a complete victory over the French. [The history of Bogdanovich in 1812: characteristics of Kutuzov and reasoning about the unsatisfactory results of the Krasnensky battles. (Note by L.N. Tolstoy.) ]
This is not the fate of great people, not grand homme, whom the Russian mind does not recognize, but the fate of those rare, always lonely people who, comprehending the will of Providence, subordinate their personal will to it. The hatred and contempt of the crowd punish these people for their insight into higher laws.
For Russian historians - it’s strange and scary to say - Napoleon is the most insignificant instrument of history - never and nowhere, even in exile, who did not show human dignity - Napoleon is an object of admiration and delight; he's grand. Kutuzov, the man who, from the beginning to the end of his activity in 1812, from Borodin to Vilna, without ever changing one action or word, shows an extraordinary example in history of self-sacrifice and consciousness in the present of the future significance of the event, – Kutuzov seems to them like something vague and pitiful, and when talking about Kutuzov and the 12th year, they always seem to be a little ashamed.
Meanwhile, it is difficult to imagine a historical person whose activity would be so invariably and constantly directed towards the same goal. It is difficult to imagine a goal more worthy and more consistent with the will of the entire people. It is even more difficult to find another example in history where the goal that a historical figure set for himself would be so completely achieved as the goal towards which all of Kutuzov’s activities were directed in 1812.
Kutuzov never spoke about the forty centuries that look from the pyramids, about the sacrifices he makes for the fatherland, about what he intends to do or has done: he didn’t say anything about himself at all, didn’t play any role, always seemed to be the simplest and most ordinary a person and said the simplest and most ordinary things. He wrote letters to his daughters and m me Stael, read novels, loved the company of beautiful women, joked with generals, officers and soldiers and never contradicted those people who wanted to prove something to him. When Count Rastopchin on the Yauzsky Bridge rode up to Kutuzov with personal reproaches about who was to blame for the death of Moscow, and said: “How did you promise not to leave Moscow without fighting?” - Kutuzov replied: “I will not leave Moscow without a battle,” despite the fact that Moscow had already been abandoned. When Arakcheev, who came to him from the sovereign, said that Yermolov should be appointed chief of artillery, Kutuzov replied: “Yes, I just said that myself,” although a minute later he said something completely different. What did he care, the only one who then understood the whole enormous meaning of the event, among the stupid crowd surrounding him, what did he care whether Count Rostopchin attributed the disaster of the capital to himself or to him? He could be even less interested in who would be appointed chief of artillery.

More than one generation grew up on the creations of Soviet animators. The best of the old domestic cartoons are also appreciated by modern children - for the decent quality of animation (although in those days they didn’t even know the word for that!), for interesting plots, for high-quality voice acting.

And every Soviet cartoon has its own secret.

Well, hare, wait a minute!

According to the original plan, this sacramental phrase was supposed to be pronounced by none other than Vladimir Vysotsky. However, in his performance the wolf turned out to be too ferocious. It was decided that the comic intonations of Anatoly Papanov were needed here.

It turned out so well that the wolf from “Well, wait a minute!” Now it’s hard to imagine someone speaking in a different voice. Papanov himself, as often happens, was angered by the popularity of this role. He said that the wolf chewed through his acting biography.

Soviet children, and adults too, were completely delighted with the animated series - but in Finland it was banned! Because the hare, it turns out, is portrayed as too cruel in the film, and through his fault the poor wolf constantly finds himself in dangerous situations. The fact that the poor wolf kept trying to bite the “cruel” hare did not bother anyone for some reason.

But in Poland the cartoon was appreciated. In 2010, they even released a collectible coin with the characters “Well, wait a minute!”

The Adventures of Leopold the Cat

Still from the cartoon "Leopold"

In honor of this cartoon, a special coin was also issued - and also not here, but even on the Cook Islands. The coin is silver, with a face value of two dollars, and depicts the cartoon characters - Leopold the cat and mice: white Mitya and gray Motya. Yes, yes, that's what they're called. True, only in the script for the cartoon; In the film itself, the rowdy rodents remain nameless.

Attentive viewers could not help but notice that the first two episodes of the cartoon differ from the subsequent ones. And all because they were made using the transfer technique: fragments of the characters’ bodies and decoration elements were first cut out of colored paper, and then moved a tiny distance after each frame. Subsequent episodes are already hand-drawn cartoons.

Last year's snow fell

Initially, the title of this cartoon sounded like “Fir trees, sticks, dense forest” - at least if you take the word of the composer Grigory Gladkov, who wrote the music for it. And the narrator’s text was read by Liya Akhedzhakova. And it was a wonderful read.

However, Alexander Tatarsky (oh, these storytellers!) did not approve of her reading for reasons unknown to us. So both the narrator and the main character were voiced by the same person - Stanislav Sadalsky. Which, alas, is not even listed in the credits: shortly before the release of the cartoon, the actor, horror of horrors, was seen in the company of a foreign woman, and they decided to punish him in this way.

Still from the cartoon “Last Year’s Snow Was Falling”

By the way, the phrase “Oh, these storytellers” has a long history: it was first used by Vladimir Odoevsky in the story “The Living Dead”, then it was used by Dostoevsky as an epigraph to “Poor People” - and only after that it ended up in the cartoon.

Hedgehog in the fog

This brilliant, without exaggeration, cartoon was officially recognized as the best in the world at the Tokyo Animation Festival in 2003.

Meanwhile, it was created in those years when modern animation technologies had not yet been invented. So, to achieve the effect of fog, they used ordinary tracing paper for drawings - they slowly raised it above the drawing. And to achieve realism in the moment when the hedgehog falls into the river, they filmed real water.

Still from the cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog”

The director of the cartoon, Yuri Norshtein, argued that to create a living, prominent character, a specific prototype is needed. For Hedgehog-in-the-Fog, this was the writer Lyudmila Petrushevskaya.

Winnie the Pooh and everything, everything, everything

Before the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet we know were created, a lot of paper was damaged by artists. It’s scary to imagine how many bears and piglets went into the trash bin!

So, one of the first Poohs was desperately furry, his eyes were of different sizes, and his ears looked like Christopher Robin gnawed on them every day. And Piglet, as befits a normal pig, was very, very well-fed. And only later the cute brown Winnie and the thin-necked, squeaky Piglet were born.

Still from the cartoon "Winnie the Pooh"

By the way, when voicing the latter, Iya Savina took Bella Akhmadulina’s speech as a model—more precisely, her manner of reading poetry. And Winnie the Pooh was voiced like this: they recorded Evgeniy Leonov on film, and then broadcast it in an accelerated version.

flying ship

The poet Yuri Entin wrote the lyrics of Vodyanoy’s song (“Oh, my life is a tin!”) while lying in the bathroom. Apparently, as an artist, he needed an appropriate setting in order to imagine the train of thought of the one whose girlfriends are leeches and frogs. Or maybe it just happened that way.

Entin, by his own admission, spent ten minutes writing the text. But the composer, Maxim Dunaevsky, had to tinker with the song - Entin constantly demanded that he redo the music. We don’t know how true all this is, but one way or another, the song quickly became mega-popular. Like the whole cartoon.

Frame from the cartoon “Flying Ship”

It was assumed that there would be only one Baba Yaga in the cartoon. Entin even wrote a text for her:

You know me so little

You see me as an enemy.

And first of all, I’m just a woman,

And only secondly – ​​Yaga!

And then I decided that it would be more fun to create a whole choir of people like her. This is how the masterpiece ditties of Babok-hedgehogs were born.

“The Adventures of Leopold the Cat” is an animated series about the good cat Leopold, who is harassed by two hooligan mice. Filming began in 1975 and ended in 1993.

Anatoly Reznikov is the director of one of the most popular animated series for children about the adventures of Leopold the cat. “The Adventures of Leopold the Cat” is a very kind, funny animated series in which 11 different episodes were filmed. This wonderful series was created by playwright Arkady Khait and artist Vyacheslav Nazaruk. For this work, the authors even received (!!!) the USSR State Prize.

Leopold is the main character who lives on the street. Murlykina. He is an ordinary cat, distinguished by his innate intelligence - he does not smoke or drink, does not raise his voice, and steadfastly endures all the tricks of mice. Leopold is a cat who doesn't want to quarrel with anyone. Leopold's words: “Guys, let's live together!” - this is a phrase that has long entered our everyday life. And Leopold taught the hooligan mice friendship!

Hooligan mice... They are annoyed by a kind cat. They call him a “vile coward”, they constantly find a reason to do something dirty, but they still repent... In the series “The Revenge of Leopold the Cat”, the gray one wears a cap, and the white one has a disgusting squeaky voice. In the series - “Leopold and the Goldfish”, gray is already without his headdress. From episodes 3 to 10, the gray one is distinguished by its plumpness and low voice, while the white one is thin and squeaky. In the first two episodes, the gray one is in charge, but from the third episode the white one takes the lead, and the gray one obeys him.

“Leopold the Cat's Revenge”, “Leopold and the Goldfish” were made using the transfer technique, i.e. characters and scenery were drawn on cut out pieces of paper, and subsequently rearranged under glass. And all the rest were created using the technique of hand-drawn animation.
“The Revenge of Leopold the Cat” was released after 1981. “Leopold and the Goldfish,” which was created at the same time as the first one, appeared in 1978.

“The Adventures of Leopold the Cat” is a Soviet cartoon familiar to several generations of children and parents. To characterize the project, the story about the adventures of an intelligent cat and two restless mice is an animated series consisting of 11 episodes. The directors of the cartoons about the role of friendship and peaceful coexistence were Arkady Khait and Anatoly Reznikov. The first episode of the project was released in 1975.

The simple storyline captivated the kids. Each episode described instructive episodes from Leopold's life. Many noted the similarity of the episodes with the American animated series Tom and Jerry. Compared to its foreign counterpart, the domestic cartoon looks peaceful and kind, and the characters are less bloodthirsty and selfish.

Story

Hight and Reznikov met in 1974. Shortly before this, the cartoon “Well, Just Wait!” started showing. Reznikov, inspired by success, was planning a new project for young TV viewers. The director could not find an interesting plot, and composer Boris Savelyev came to the rescue. The musician introduced Hight and Reznikov, laying the foundation for a productive creative union. It gave birth to the idea of ​​a new multi-part cartoon and the famous phrase:

“Guys, let's live together!”

The main idea was to invert the plot contrary to logic. According to Haight and Reznikov’s plan, the cat Leopold did not chase mice, but escaped from their attacks. The moral of the project was an important component of life - friendship. To make the idea accessible to children, the creators of the project put the famous quote into the mouth of the main character.

The Soviet Union proclaimed the idea of ​​world peace, and the animated series perfectly corresponded to it. The first episode presented to the public was “The Revenge of Leopold the Cat.” It was followed by the series "Leopold and the Goldfish". The cartoons were created using transfer technology, which involves the use of cut-out parts, with the help of which the mise-en-scène and appearance of the characters are recreated. The animators drew images, placed them on the glass, and then carefully moved them to create the animation effect. The following episodes were created using drawing techniques.

Despite the presence of classical moral implications, the project was not immediately approved by the artistic council of the Soyuz studio. After the premiere in 1975, it was banned with the wording of anti-Soviet views and pacifist sentiments.

The chairman of the artistic council, Zhdanova, was embarrassed that the cat could not deal with rodents. Nevertheless, the creators continued to work on the project, and their perseverance was rewarded. The story about an intelligent cat and hooligan mice has been broadcast on the country's first channels since the 80s of the twentieth century. The audience was delighted with the new characters: the cat and mice quickly fell in love with the children, and the parents thanked them for the project, which voiced educational principles. Success motivated the authors to visualize new ideas.

Characters

The main component of a successful animated series is its unusual characters. The central character was a decent, well-mannered cat with the aesthetic name Leopold. He is dressed in neat clothes and wears a lush bow around his neck. The dandy walks around the house in slippers and speaks in simple but beautiful language. Unlike the wolf from “Well, wait a minute!”, he does not smoke or drink, speaks modestly and quietly, is hospitable and clean.

Leopold is used to solving problems peacefully and encourages the mice attacking him to live together and not harm each other. The peace-loving, good-natured hero forgives offensive pranks and is ready to come to the rescue of two cocky little mice.

Some viewers considered the cat to be weak-willed, because sometimes the intrigues of the mice were offensive. The creators of the project tried to stand up for him, so in one of the episodes he received the medicine “Ozverin”, which would help fight back the offenders.

But Leopold’s character does not allow him to be rude, so the mice remain safe, and the audience understands that patience and a good attitude will melt any heart.

The antipodes of Leopold are two mice - White and Gray. Although there is not a word about this in the cartoon, the characters have names: Mitya and Motya. Hooligans are opposed to the cat and mistake his decency and restraint for cowardice. In each episode, hooligans try to annoy Leopold, and in the finale they certainly repent, asking for forgiveness.

Gray, who speaks in a squeaky voice, initially wore a cap, but eventually lost it. During the course of the story, he gained a lot of weight and gained a bass voice. White remained skinny and retained his high voice. At first, the leader was Gray, but from the third episode the leadership passed into the clutches of White, who was distinguished by greater cunning and prudence.

• Between 1975 and 1987, 11 cartoons were released about the adventures of sworn friends. They described the search for treasure, the purchase of a TV, the cat's walk and his birthday. The plot told about how the summer passed, spent in the company of mice, flying in dreams and in reality, an interview with Leopold. The narrative was built around going to the clinic and purchasing a car.
• In 1993, the Soyuz studio released 4 more episodes about the adventures of favorite children's characters. It was a new season with high-quality images and the same meaning. The cycle was called “The Return of Leopold the Cat.”
• The cartoon has been parsed by fans into quotes. In addition to the famous phrases, it featured a soundtrack that still lifts the spirits of millions of children and adults. Optimistic song “We will survive this trouble!” became the anthem of the project.

• The sound score and scoring of the animated series turned out to be a curious process. In the first episode of the cartoon, Leopold voiced the mice and the cat. He was invited to collaborate on the second series, but the artist unexpectedly fell ill. I changed the actor. gave the characters a voice in episodes 3 to 10, and in “Interview with Leopold the Cat,” viewers heard Mironov again.
• During the ban on the cartoon, the image of the kind cat became known in all corners of the Soviet Union. More than one book has been written about his adventures.
• The popularity of the cartoon is so great that a $2 coin was minted in honor of Leopold. Among collectors, its value is estimated at $140.
• The authors of the famous cartoon cherish the hope of creating a continuation of the series about the adventures of the touching cat Leopold and the twirly tails Gray and White. In 2016, work on the project was hindered by the financial crisis, but the producers do not lose hope of resuming work.
