Codifier section: Punctuation marks in a complex sentence with different types of connection

Rule: Task 20. Punctuation marks in a sentence with different types of communication

TASK 20 USE. PUNCUNCATION IN A SENTENCE WITH DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS

In task 20, students should be able to punctuate a complex sentence consisting of 3-5 simple ones.

This most difficult task tests the graduate's ability to put into practice the following knowledge:

1) at the level of a simple sentence:

Understanding that there is no proposal without a basis;

Knowledge of the features of the basis of one-part sentences (impersonal, etc.)

Understanding that in a simple sentence there can be homogeneous predicates and subjects, punctuation marks between which are placed according to the rules of homogeneous members.

2) at the level of a complex sentence:

The ability to determine the main and subordinate clauses in the composition of the NGN on the issue;

The ability to see unions (allied words) in a subordinate clause;

The ability to see index words in the main

The ability to see homogeneous subordinate clauses, in which punctuation marks are placed in the same way as in homogeneous members.

3) at the level of a compound sentence:

The ability to see parts of the SSP and separate them with a comma. There is no common secondary term in this assignment.

4) at the level of the entire proposal as a whole:

The ability to see those places in a sentence in which two unions met: there may be two subordinating or coordinating and subordinating.

Let's collect all the basic punctuation rules that are important when completing a task and number them for convenience.

BP 6

If in a complex sentence there are coordinating and subordinating conjunctions (AND AND ALTHOUGH, AND AND HOW, AND AND IF, BUT AND WHEN, AND AND TO, etc.), then you need to find out if there are correlative words THEN, SO or one more coordinating union (A, BUT, HOWEVER, etc.). A comma is placed only when these words are absent after the subordinate clause. For example:

[Curtain rose], and, (as soon as the audience saw their favorite), [the theater trembled with applause and enthusiastic shouts]

Compare:

[Curtain rose], and (as soon as the audience saw their favorite), So the theater trembled with applause and enthusiastic cries].

and (although her words were familiar to Saburov), [they suddenly made her heart ache].

[The woman kept talking and talking about her misfortunes], and (although her words were familiar to Saburov), but[Suddenly my heart sank.]

As you can see, rules 5 and 6 are very similar: we choose either to write TO (BUT ...), or to put a comma.

Consider sentences from the RESHUEGE database and the algorithm for working on a sentence.

[argue](1) what? ( what Brazilian carnivals delight and fascinate)(2) and(3) (when(4) when? then did you see for yourself (5) what? ( how much eyewitnesses were right).

1. Highlight the basics.

1- Approve (one-part, predicate)

2- carnivals delight and fascinate

3 - we saw

4- make sure yourself

5- eyewitnesses are right

2. We highlight unions and correlative words. We draw attention to the fact that AND and WHEN stand nearby and that there is THAT.

3. We mark subordinate clauses: we take all sentences in which there are subordinate conjunctions in parentheses.

(what Brazilian carnivals delight and fascinate)

(when we first saw its unique bright beauty)

(how much eyewitnesses were right).

4. We establish which main clauses belong to. To do this, we put questions from the main to the alleged subordinate clauses.

[Affirm] what? ( what Brazilian carnivals delight and fascinate). 1 component found. Comma 1 is placed according to the rule 4 [ = ], (which is = and =).

There are two subordinate clauses and one without a subordinating union. We check whether it is possible to put questions from him.

[then themselves convinced] when? ( when we first saw its unique bright beauty)

[were convinced] of what? ( how much eyewitnesses were right). The second component is found. Commas 4 and 5 are placed according to rule 4.

(when - =), [then- =], (as far as - =) Two different subordinate clauses to one main, the subordinate tense very often comes BEFORE the main.

1 and 2 components are connected by a coordinating conjunction AND into one compound sentence. This is comma 2.

Scheme: |[ = ], (what- = and =)|, and |(when - =), [then- = ], (how much - =)|

It remains to find out if a comma is needed 3. Between AND and WHEN, according to rule 6, a comma is not needed, since after the subordinate clause there is TO.

TASK 20: Offers with different types of communication.

Task 20 of the Unified State Examination in the Russian language is devoted to sentences with different types of communication. To avoid mistakes in it, you should act according to the algorithm.

ALGORITHM.

1. Find all the grammatical bases.

2. Find ALL allied words / conjunctions.).

3. Ask all questions between sentences to understand how the parts of the sentence are related (which clause depends on which main clause, etc.).

4. Be careful: You do not need to find clarifying secondary members of the sentence. You must separate parts of a complex sentence with signs and sometimes (very rarely) homogeneous ones.

PROBLEMS.

There are 3 main problems that we face in task 20.

1. Joint of unions.

2. The role of the coordinating union.

3. Homogeneous submission.

Consider a CLASSIC example from task 20.

I want to warn you (1) that (2) if you betray me (3) you will be ashamed (4) because it will be a rather low act.

1. Find the basics. There are 4 of them: I want to warn; you betray; will be ashamed; this is a low act.

2. We find unions. There are 3 of them: what if, after all.

3. We know how many bases we have and what unions we have, and therefore we can understand in what numbers it is necessary to put signs separating one sentence from another. These are the numbers 1,3,4.

4. Now let's think, Should the JOINT OF UNIONS be separated (WHAT IF). Obviously, the conjunctions IF and WHERE refer to the sentences in which they stand (“if you betray me” and “because it would be a rather low act”). Which sentence is the union WHAT? We see that there is a sentence without a union (“you will be ashamed”). If there is such a proposal, then the first union from the junction of unions belongs to it. And this means that we must separate it from the neighboring union (in this case, IF).

5. We ask a question. “I want to warn you” - About WHAT? - "that you will be ashamed."

6. So, we need commas in the numbers 1,2,3,4.

I want to warn you that if you betray me, you will be ashamed, because it will be a rather low act.

Now let's look at specific examples of how to proceed in order to cope with each of the problems listed above.

JOINT OF UNIONS.

If you have two unions in a row, then you separate them with a comma in the event that further in the sentence there is such a part in which there is no union at all. Simply put: if the first union from the junction “has somewhere to go”, then you should separate it from the neighboring union.

If this union is not needed anywhere else, then we leave it together with the “neighbor”, without separating them with a sign.

Most often this happens when the next sentence contains the words THAT, BUT, SO.

At home, my guest immediately began to complain to me (1) that (2) while he was getting to me (3) he got lost in the forest (4) and was forced to spend the night in the forester's lodge.

1. Three basics: the guest started to complain; he was getting; got lost and had to spend the night.

2. Three unions: what, while, then (TO is not a union and has a different function in a sentence, but for simplicity we will classify it as unions, because this does not affect anything).

3. In the numbers 1 and 3, we put commas, because this is necessary to separate the different bases.

4. In the number 4, we do not put a sign, because union And connects two homogeneous, and not two different sentences (got lost And had to spend the night).

5. Before us is the junction of unions: WHAT IS YET. We do not separate them with signs, because conjunction THAT “nowhere to go”: it cannot refer to a sentence with the word TO. Simply put: we see THAT in the next sentence (and, besides, there are no more “free” sentences here, without conjunctions), and therefore we do not separate conjunctions at the junction with signs. There is no comma in number 2.

At home, my guest immediately began to complain to me that while he was getting to me, he got lost in the forest and had to spend the night in the forester's lodge.

THE ROLE OF THE COUNTING UNION.

We know that a coordinating union can connect both homogeneous and compound sentences (CSP).

In cases where it stands between sentences, a sign is needed.

In cases where it stands between homogeneous ones, the sign is not needed.

This means that every time you see a coordinating union, you should think: what does it connect? Has the sentence ended, or does it continue after the clause?

By midnight (1) Sergey was exhausted (2) and (3) when he realized (4) that he could not cope with the papers (5) he cried quietly and bitterly.

1. We find unions. There are three of them: and, when, what.

2. It is obvious that we have two subordinate clauses (this is indicated by the subordinating unions WHEN and WHAT). THEM WE MUST SEPARATE WITH COMMA FROM THE MAIN.

3. Let's think about what exactly connects the union And (near the number 1). “By midnight Sergei was exhausted and wept quietly and bitterly.” It is obvious that the union connects two homogeneous ones, because. EXHAUSTED and CRYING stand in the same form and can refer to the word SERGEY. There is no separate subject in the part “weeping softly and bitterly”, and therefore it is logical that this is a continuation of the main sentence, and not a new part.

BY MIDNIGHT SERGEI WAS EXHAUSTED AND, when he realized that he couldn't cope with the papers, he CRYED QUIETLY AND BITTERLY.

HOMOGENEOUS SUBMISSION.

What does homogeneous subordination mean?

If two subordinate clauses depend on one word in the main clause and at the same time answer the same question, then they are homogeneous.

WHAT GIVES US? Like any other homogeneous, homogeneous clauses can be combined with a union. And in this case, they should not be separated by commas.

Aleksey was alone in the trench (1) and (2) when the wagons (3) and (4) disappeared the field was cleared of dust (5) he decided to look around.

1. Find the basics. There are 4 of them: Alexey was alone; carts disappeared; field cleared; he decided to look around.

2. We find unions. There are 3 of them: and, when, and.

3. Since we have our own basis in each of the parts separated by numbers, we understand that the first sentence ends in the number 1, which means that a sign is needed there.

4. The sign in the number 5 is also obvious: it separates different sentences, each of which has its own basis.

5. In the number 2, at the junction of unions, there is also a sign, because we see further (after the number 5) a “free” sentence without a union (“he decided to look around.”). Union And connects two sentences: "Alexey was alone in the trench, and he decided to look around."

6. Now let's think about what connects the union And (the one that stands between the numbers 3 and 4)? It is obvious to us that after the allied word WHEN there is a subordinate clause. Then the coordinating union I. Then another sentence. Every time you see a picture like this, think about it: isn't this a homogeneous submission?

7. And since we "suspect" homogenous submission, we should ask a question. “he decided to look around” - WHEN? - “when the wagons disappeared” and WHEN? "the field was cleared of dust." In numbers 3 and 4, no signs are needed. Before us are homogeneous subordinate clauses, depending on one main sentence. Note that with homogeneous subordination, one subordinating union is quite enough: it may not be repeated before the second part (here we have one word WHEN).

Aleksey was alone in the trench, and WHEN the wagons disappeared And the field was cleared of dust, he decided to look around.

SUBJECTIVE UNIONS AND ALLIED WORDS.

To make it easier for you to work with task 20, we offer a brief classification of subordinating conjunctions and allied words. Learn them and recognize them in sentences. After all, the presence of such a union means that you have a new proposal in front of you. And if you see them, then the task is much easier to complete.

In adventitious reasons: because, because, because, because, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, due to the fact that, for, then that, etc.

In the adventitious corollary: so etc.

In adventitious purposes: so that, so that, in order to, then so that, so that, etc.

In subordinate conditions: if, if, as soon as, when, etc.

In subordinate assignments: although, for nothing; if only; despite the fact that, despite the fact that; let, meanwhile, true, etc.

In adventitious time: barely, as soon as, when, only, just, as, after, since, until, until, before, just, just, just a little, while, etc. .

In accessory places: where, where, from where, etc.

In subordinate comparisons: like, what, as if, as if, as if, as if, as if (like), just like, exactly, exactly (like), than, than), etc.

In subordinate explanatory clauses: what, as if, how, whether, etc. + all questions of indirect cases.

In attributive clauses: which, which, whose, where, etc.

In the adventitious modus operandi: like, as if, exactly, as if, etc.

Task 1 #5695

The battle was lost (1) and (2) while the last soldiers fled from the battlefield (3) the commander-in-chief frantically searched for his revolver (4) because he did not think to surrender.

Four basics: the battle was lost, the soldiers fled, the commander-in-chief was looking, he did not even think of surrendering.

Three unions: and, for now, because.

In place of the number 4, the comma is obvious.

Before BYE (in place of the number 2), a comma is needed, because further there are no unions TO or BUT. Thus, the conjunction BYKA refers to the third sentence.

Answer: 1234

Task 2 #5696

Place all punctuation marks: indicate the number (s) in the place of which (s) in the sentence should (s) be a comma (s).

He knew (1) that this machine had some consciousness (2) and (3) that it was now surveying its surroundings (4) because it needed parts to repair itself.

It is necessary to find all the bases, all alliances. Establish a connection between the parts of the sentence.

Four basics: he knew, the machine possessed, it examined, it needed.

Four unions: what, and what, since.

If you see a subordinating conjunction, then you have a subordinate clause. And, of course, therefore, it is not difficult to determine the main sentence. Let's designate it: "He knew".

Before us are 2 more subordinate clauses: “that this machine had a certain consciousness”, “and that now it was exploring the surrounding space”. We separate them with a comma from the main one in number 1. But in numbers 2 and 3 we do not put commas, because these subordinate clauses are homogeneous. They depend on one word (KNEW what?) and are connected by the union I.

Before BECAUSE the comma is obvious, because this is a subordinating conjunction, and therefore we have a subordinate clause.

Answer: 14

Task 3 #5697

Place all punctuation marks: indicate the number (s) in the place of which (s) in the sentence should (s) be a comma (s).

The pilot brought the ship to a small cherry-red sun (1) and (2) when all the maneuvers were completed (3) saw (4) that one of the planets of this system is of the earth type.

It is necessary to find all the bases, all alliances. Establish a connection between the parts of the sentence.

Three basics: the pilot brought out and saw, the maneuvers were completed, one of the planets is related.

Three unions: and, when, what.

The subordinating conjunctions WHEN and WHAT indicate that there are two subordinate clauses in the sentence. We separate them with commas in the numbers 2, 3, 4.

There is no comma before the number 1, because the word SAW also refers to the first sentence, i.e. the first sentence does not end before the number 1. The union And connects not two different sentences, but homogeneous predicates BROUGHT AND SAW. The comma is not needed.

Answer: 234

Task 4 #5698

Place all punctuation marks: indicate the number (s) in the place of which (s) in the sentence should (s) be a comma (s).

Howard considered cooking an art (1) and (2) if he were not a businessman (3) he would become a cook (4) as his father once advised.

It is necessary to find all the bases, all alliances. Establish a connection between the parts of the sentence.

Four basics: Howard thought he was not a businessman, would have become a cook, his father advised.

Four unions: and, if, then how.

Before AND (in place of the number 1), a comma is needed, because The first sentence has ended and will not continue anywhere else.

In place of the numbers 3 and 4, commas are obvious (before TO and the subordinating union AS).

Before IF (in place of the number 2), a comma is not needed, because after the second sentence there is the conjunction TO. We do not share the junction of conjunctions (AND IF) when followed by THEN, BUT, SO.

Shrovetide... Even now I still feel this word, as I felt it in childhood: bright spots, ringing - it evokes in me; flaming stoves, bluish waves of fumes in the contented rumble of the gathered people, a bumpy snowy road, already oiled in the sun, with merry sleighs diving along it, with merry horses in roses, in bells and bells, with playful picking of an accordion. Or has something wonderful remained in me since childhood, unlike anything else, in bright colors and gilding, which was cheerfully called “Shrovetide”? She stood on a high counter in the baths. On a big round gingerbread - on a pancake? - from which it smelled of honey - and it smelled of glue! - with gilded hills along the edge, with a dense forest, where bears, wolves and bunnies stuck out on pegs, - wonderful lush flowers rose, similar to roses, and all this shone, entwined with a golden thread ... Zaryadye, some Ivan Yegorych. The unknown Yegorych died - and the "Shrovetide" disappeared. But they are alive in me. Now the holidays have faded, and people seem to have cooled off. And then ... everyone and everyone was connected with me, and I was connected with everyone, from a poor old man in the kitchen, who went to the "poor pancake", to an unfamiliar troika, who rushed off into the darkness with a ringing. And God in the sky, beyond the stars, looked kindly at everyone, carnival, walk! In this broad word, even now, a bright joy is alive for me, before sadness ... - before fasting?

The thaw is getting more frequent, the snow is getting oily. On the sunny side, icicles hang like a glass fringe, melting and clinking on ice. You jump on one skate, and you feel how gently it cuts, as if on thick skin. Farewell winter! This can be seen from the jackdaws, how they are circling the “wedding”, and their chattering hubbub beckons somewhere. You chat with your skate on a bench and watch their black porridge in the sky for a long time. They disappeared somewhere. And then the stars appear. The breeze is damp, soft, it smells of baked bread, delicious birch smoke, pancakes. Drips in the dark - carnival is coming. For a long time, a huge box was placed on the window in the dining room: they planted an onion, “for pancakes”; his green feathers are large, pleasant to stroke. The boy from the tormenter brought flour to someone. They have already brought us: a bag of blue grits and four bags of "human". They also brought dry firewood, birch. “Spruce goads,” Mikhail's rider told me, “tick” did not bake. We’ll eat pancakes with you!”

I am sitting on a leather sofa in my office. Father, under a green lamp, knocks on the abacus. Vasil-Vasilich Oblique shoots from the door with his eye. They talk about terribly interesting things, no matter how the barks with hay are cut off by ice near Simonov, and about wood-burning rafts that will go from Mozhaisk.

And what do you order with oiled butter? Flour was brought to the robots just now ...

How much are we eating?

Yes ... forty carpenters shy away home, to the Masleny ... - Vasil-Vasilich nods, - Volodimers, beat on fists, shake out pancakes, you know our custom! .. - sighs, chuckling, Oblique.

Hold on people, spring... as cockroaches scatter. Are there sixty people?

Rob something sixty-four. Salty sevryuzha should be...

Take it. How is Zhirnov?

Parquet workers, capricious people! The Belugas bought them a herring each...

Also ours. Three pancakes, start on Friday. Let's have plenty of pancakes. Oils are fatter. On the bake of a gray smelt, you will give it headiness to cabbage soup.

And naschot wine, as you order? - affectionately says Oblique, politely covering his mouth.

To pancakes on a scale.

As if not enough, sir?.. For the forgiven... to say goodbye, as they say.

I know your goodbye!

I’ll start talking, until Easter, not a drop in my mouth.

Two buckets - will it be?

And enough! - having estimated, cheerfully says Oblique. - Deserve, sir, our business is with water, chizholoe, sir.

The father gives orders. At Titov, from Moskvoretsky, for the table - fresh caviar, triple, and ruffs to the ear. Take vyazigi from Kolganov, he also has pike-perch with caviar, and Arkhangelsk saffron cod, seven-vershkov. In Zaryadye - Belozersky smelt, washed. At Vaska Yegorov's from the sterlet cage...

His Eminence will be at my pancakes on Friday! You will tell Vaska Yegorov, the burbot gave a measured pair for the fat so that, and the splash of catfish. Paltusov has caviar for kali, with a thinner, fatter, from the sludge ...

P-may-sss ... - says Oblique, and in his throat squelches. Squishes and I have, with festivities.

In Okhotny at Trofimov's - a pair of whitefish, pinker. I'll choose the white salmon myself, I'll drop by. To botvinie fresh cucumbers-Egorov in Okhotny. Understood?

P-may-sss... More Breshchik, maybe?.. His High Priesthood, they said?..

Definitely, bream! Very reverend respects. For showers and for pies - Garanka from the Mitriyev tavern. Say - from me. Guilt to him - not a drop until he does it! .. Like a master - so a drunkard! ..

Weakness ... And he doesn’t drink wine, he spoiled himself with rowanberry. That's why they kicked him out of the palace... How can you not give him... he carries supplies with him!

There's no way you can kick you out, you scoundrel!

Last year he took it away, and he attacked me with a knife! .. Yes, he won’t spoil even an unintelligent one, he can beat the cook ... she’ll have to get out. And he is mischievous with dishes, everything is not for him. He ordered the stove to be shifted, such and such a Solomon king! ..

I am glad that there will be Garanka again and there will be smoke as a rocker. The carpenters will tie him up in the evening and take him on wood to a tavern with accordions.

Shrovetide in ruins. Such a sun that warmed up the puddles. The barns are gleaming with icicles. Guys are walking with cheerful bundles of balls, hurdy-gurdies are buzzing. Factory workers, in bulk, ride in cabbies with an accordion. The boys "play pancake": hands back, pancake in the teeth, they try to pull out each other's teeth - not to drop them, they beat their muzzles merrily.

The spacious workshop, from where the machines and buckets of paint were taken out, shines with tables: the tables are planed, for pancakes. Carpenters, sawyers, pourers, roofers, painters, foremen, riders - in shirts with a belt, with oiled heads, eat pancakes. The wide furnace is burning. Two cooks do not keep up with the oven. In frying pans, the size of a plate, "black" pancakes are baked and buckwheat, ruddy, are put in piles, and the dexterous foreman Proshin, with an earring in his ear, slaps them on the table, as if giving bald spots. Heard juicy - lyapp! Everyone in a row: blunder ... blunder ... blunder! .. Steam comes from pancakes with screws. I watch from the door as they are stacked in fours, dipped in hot oil in bowls, and munched. Steam comes out of the mouths, from the heads. It smokes from red cups with heady cabbage soup, from women-cooks with crimson kerchiefs strayed, from their inflamed faces, from oily red hands, along which, shining, yellow tongues from the stove run. Turns blue under the ceiling. There is a blessed rumble: satisfied.

Butterflies, bake ... with a little bacon - with a smelt! ..

The tubs with dough breathe, pour, hiss over the pans, swell with bubbles. It smells of sourdough spirit, burnt oil, chintz from shirts, living. Increasingly, respite, respite sighs. Somebody stumbled, the herring head is gnawing. From a copper cube - a ferry, to the ceiling.

Well, how are you, robyatki? .. - Vasil-Vasilich, who has looked in, shouts, - have you eaten everything? - Looks into the pots. - Bake-bake, Matryosh ... do not spare the grease, we'll give the putty! ..

They buzz, they're funny.

On the scale would be more, Vasil-Vasilich ... - is heard from the corners, - fill the pancakes.

Wa-llai! .. - famously shouts Oblique. - We meet the Bishop, wherever it goes ...

They are buzzing. The green quarters tinkle against the scale. Rippled pancakes are falling.

The owner is coming! .. - they shout cheerfully from the window.

Father, as always, running, looks around smartly.

How's the carnival, guys? Is everyone happy?

Thank you humbly ... satisfied! ..

Add to scale! Just look, scoundrels ... do not disgrace! ..

They are not offended: they know - weasel. The father takes the pancake that blurted out in front of him, pulls a flap from it, and dips it in oil.

Taste better, guys, ours! Cookers - according to the ruble. All for two kopecks, for Shrovetide!

So buzzing - nothing can be disassembled. Spiraling in my chest. The tall carpenter picks me up, throws me up to the ceiling, into the smoke, presses me against my hot, wet beard. They give me pancakes, sunflowers, pink gingerbread in shag motes, give me a painted spoon, wiping it cool with your finger, - try ours! All of them are familiar to me, all are affectionate. I listen to their speeches, jokes. I run out into the yard. A large puddle is melting, the boys are squirming. Fall out - get some air, Shrovetide spring. Steam from the heads swirls. They stretch sleepily, wander into the drying room - to sleep on the shavings.

They are waiting for the carriage with the bishop. Vasil-Vasilich keeps running to the gate. He is without a hat. From under the new jacket, the shirt under the waistcoat turns pink, a copper chain dangles. Hair is well combed and shiny. The face is purple, the eye shoots with a “double charge”, the Oblique has already managed to refuel, but until the evening it is “worthy”. Gorkin is inspecting him, he wouldn't have whipped him into the office. There is a padlock on the desk. I see how Vasil-Vasilich suddenly rushes to the desk, but something prevents him. Conscience? The bishop will come, and he gave his word that he is "worthy." Gorkin follows him like a nanny:

Hold on tight, Vasilich... Afterwards, you'll have some rest.

D-hold on! .. - famously shouts Oblique. - Am I ... can't hold on? ..

Sand sprinkled up to the front door. Doors open.

Maryushka went upstairs, they evicted her from the kitchen. The cook reigned there, red-haired, thin Garanka, in a huge cap with a fan, flickers in a couple, like fear. Through the window from the yard, I can see how he beats his henchmen with a rolling pin. Noisy since evening. He runs out into the snow, smears the dough on his palms, peeps into the light for some reason.

A wise man is wise! Vasil-Vasilich says with reverence. - He served in the royal palaces! ..

Will your bishop soon come?.. My deadline is coming!.. - shouts Garanka, wiping her hands with a snowball.

From the roof yelling - rides! ..

Carriage, with remote, boy. The cell attendant jumps off the goat, throws back the door. The protodeacon, who arrived earlier, meets with the priests and the clergy. They lead the bishop along the sand, to the stairs. The protodeacon stepped forward, closed the window with himself, and shook with horror:

Ispolla e-ti de-spo-ta-aaaaa...

His growl rolls out into the passage, rattles on the windows, into the street. Garanka shouts from the kitchen:

Hey, I'm starting pies! ..

Zachina-ay! .. - Vasil-Vasilich shouts in an imploring voice and for some reason dances.

The table is huge. What is not on it! Fish, fish ... Caviar in crystal, in ice, whitefish in parsley, red salmon, salmon, white fish-pearl fish, cucumber with green eyes, lumps of pressed, lumps of cheese, sturgeon cartilage in vinegar, porcelain vases with sour cream, in which upright spoons, pink oil-cans filled with golden camphor oil, decanters, bottles... Black frock coats, white and fawn shawls, "heads", lace caps...

They carry pancakes, under cover.

Your Eminence!

The bishop is lean, strict, - as they say, lenten. He eats little, modestly. The protodeacon is against him, huge, terrible. I see from the corner how his mouth opens to a pharynx, and heaped pancakes, gray from flowing caviar, pour into the protodeacon in feet. A whitefish swims towards him, and sails away with a torn side. Oil pours into caviar, into sour cream. It pours over the rare beard of the protodeacon, over soft lips, crimson.

Your Eminence ... and a pie to the ear! ..

Ah, we gluttons... Truly, an amazing pie!

The most famous, Garankin pies, your Eminence, throughout Moscow, sir! ..

I heard, I heard ... The Lord will reward us with a talent for our temptation! .. An amazing pie ...

Your Eminence ... may I ask for more? ..

Bless, Eminent Vladyka... - growls the protodeacon, having chewed, and throws back a mop of hair with his hand.

Well, well, open your mouth, archdeacon, give thanks ... - affectionately says the bishop. - Take a breath...

Vasil-Vasilich is waving something, and suddenly he squats down! There is a dam on the stairs, a crush in the front. The protodeacon is in glory: he extinguishes the lamps with his voice and bulges out the glass. He starts from the depths, where he now has pancakes, it seems to me, in a grumbling voice. His hair is rumbling. Lafitniks begin to tremble - with a small ringing. The crystal tremble on the chandeliers, the windows answer with a rattle. I watch how a vein trembles and swells on the archdeacon’s neck, how a spoon bends in sour cream ... I feel how it spirals in my chest and cuts in my ear. Lord, the ceiling will fall now! ..

To His Grace and to all the consecrated cathedral... and to this honest house... -

many-ga-i... le... t-ta-a-aaaaaaa!!!

There was a crackling noise in the piano, a lamp went out in the corner in front of the icon!.. Knives and forks were falling. Lafitniks are knocking. Vasil-Vasilich squeals, sobbing:

God!..

From the protodeacon heat and smoke. Stretched out on three chairs. Drinking kvass. Behind the ear and pies - again and again pancakes. Pancakes with baking. Behind them is aspic, again pancakes, already with double baking. Behind them are steam sturgeon, pancakes with baked bread. A bream of unusual size, with fungi, with porridge ... seven-corner navy, with Belozersky smelt in breadcrumbs, poured with mushroom sour cream ... milk pancakes, light, pancakes with testicles ... still boiled fish with zander caviar, fried ... orange jelly, almond ice cream - vanilla...

The bishop rode off, having drunk a cup of tea with an orange - "for the draft." They took the protodeacon, who had stuffed pies into his pockets, and they forced him into a bag of outlandish saffron cod - "navaga beast!" Shawls and frock coats are sitting in the drawing room, sighing, drinking tea with an orange. Noisy downstairs. Garanka demands another bottle of mountain ash and does not want to leave, he broke the window. Vasil-Vasilich is required to take Garanka, but Vasil-Vasilich "has grown tired, he has done well," and now he has locked himself in the office. What can you do - carnival! Garanka is given a bottle and left in the kitchen: he will sleep through in the morning. Maryushka sits in the hall, without a berth, angry. It's a shame: everyone has a holiday, but she ... cannot make pies! They messed up the whole kitchen. She is a respectable old woman. Blinks with caviar are put on her, they bring Madeira lafitniks, they still bring them. She starts crying and wrinkling her handkerchief:

I can do all sorts of pies, both puff and custard ... and with panshet, and all sorts of kulebyaks, and any pinched ... But here, wow ... you can’t make an unpinched pie! I'll poke his nose in the morning with pies! She lived with the Rastorguevs... the metropolitans visited me, my kulebyaks praised me...

She is taken into the hall, persuaded to sing a song and brought more lafitniks. She is pleased that everyone respects her very much, and begins to sing about the "grapher, ruddy handsome":

He wears a hat with a feather
Snuffbox with tobacco! ..

And also, how “well done lead the horse by the bridle ... the horse beats the ground with its hoof, knocks out a white-pebble ...” - and more amazing songs that no one knows.

"Physicists" and "lyricists", dreamers and enthusiasts, representatives of the scientific, technical and humanitarian intelligentsia. As soon as they didn’t name the young generation of the sixties, which during the period of the “thaw” turned out to be at the forefront of the cultural and scientific life of those years. In comparison with the experience of the previous generation, their leisure time has become freer and more intellectual. And mass festivities gave way to jazz band concerts and poetry readings. “It was a fun, happy time. We were all born almost at the same time. It was 1959, plus or minus a few months, we all suddenly found ourselves familiar, and immediately close. Although they were to a large extent provincial people. And, I will not hide, we were very close to places of rest, ”recalled playwright Julius Eldis in his memoirs. What places of rest were chosen by the sixties, figured out RBC Style.

Cafe

Speaking about the era of the thaw, it is impossible to ignore the public catering of the sixties. Cafes and restaurants were one of the most visible parts of the urban culture of those years. Restaurant "Dandelion" became the "hero" of the Ryazanov comedy "Give me a complaint book". The writer Peter Vail recalled that the style of the era “demanded lightness, mobility, openness”, and noted that “even cafes became like aquariums - with glass walls for everyone to see.” And the artist Boris Messerer called cafes the point of attraction for the metropolitan bohemia "National". “The charm of the landscape that opened from the cafe window overshadowed all the shortcomings of the institution, including high prices,” he said.

Writer Vladimir Voinovich admitted that compassionate waitresses sometimes gave food on credit and even fed literary regulars for free. "National". The translator Viktor Golyshev recalled "Anchor" at the corner of Bolshaya Gruzinskaya and Gorky and "Ararate" with his fish and steaks. The era even influenced the menu of establishments. As Peter Vail noted, “the restaurant served tenderloin in sauce” Modern" and veal steam cutlet "Joy". Even if the cutlet took part in the struggle for something new, it is clear that literature, music, theater and cinema responded with a cheerful mood, a fighting spark, ringing laughter.

Poetry readings

During the years of the thaw, full stadiums, like rock stars, were collected by poets. They took the stage "Luzhniki" and introduced each other. Although it was not necessary - the audience already knew their "heroes" in person, among whom were Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Robert Rozhdestvensky, Andrei Voznesensky, Bella Akhmadulina. “I remember how the winter stadiums were packed with spectators who wanted to listen to poetry, and even a mounted police was needed to keep these people back. Today, mounted police may be needed, rather, to drive people to poetry evenings, ”recalled Vladimir Pozner.

After the opening of the monument to Mayakovsky in 1958, poets and lovers of poetry began to actively meet on the square at its foot. Here they read poetry, exchanged books and discussed what was happening in the country and the world. A large audience was also attracted by poetry evenings in Polytechnic Museum.


Jazz

The Khrushchev thaw revived jazz in the USSR, which in Stalin's time was considered akin to Western bourgeois propaganda. The first Soviet jazz club - "​ D-58"- appeared in Leningrad in 1958, after the last one in Moscow a year earlier International Festival of Youth and Students. Michel Legrand's big band was then invited to it. In 1962, Nikita Khrushchev personally attended a Benny Goodman concert in Moscow. The American then gave a total of 32 performances in the USSR. The audience greeted Goodman's orchestra with a standing ovation, and the musician himself noted that "the Russians are all right with the feeling of swing."

“In the early 1960s, records cost from 25 to 40 rubles for speculators, almost like my big scholarship. It was almost impossible to get to jazz performances by chance, we followed these islands of freedom, stood in queues for tickets, ”recalled the translator and popularizer of jazz Mikhail Sapozhnikov.

Theatre

It was no less difficult than to go to jazz concerts and poetry evenings to get into the performances of the capital's "Contemporary" and appeared eight years later "Taganki", as well as the Leningrad BDT. "Contemporary", which gave its first performance in 1956, was not established "from above": it grew up "from below" - by a group of young actors led by Oleg Efremov. April 15 graduates of the studio school Moscow Art Theater performed a performance based on Rozov's play "Forever Alive". The audience was so shocked by the production that they did not want to leave - and all night long, until the subway opened, they talked with the actors. And a year later, a film shot by Mikhail Kalatozov based on this play "Cranes are Flying" received "Palme d'Or" Cannes Film Festival.

famous "Taganka" opened in 1964 - at the end of the "thaw". This was the year when Solzhenitsyn was still being published and in "Manege" exhibition of Ernst Neizvestny. Lyubimov put on "Taganka""The Good Man of Sezuan" according to Brecht. Ehrenburg and Simonov, Yevtushenko and Voznesensky, Akhmadulina and Okudzhava, Plisetskaya and Shchedrin gathered at the premiere of the student performance in a small hall on Stary Arbat. The liberal circles of the Soviet intelligentsia counted on Lyubimov and saw in him a person capable of a "breakthrough".

Dior in Moscow

In 1959, the first fashion show from a capitalist country was held in the USSR. Your summer collection in the hall "Work" houses of culture "Wings of Soviets" introduced the house Christian Dior. The negotiations that preceded the "tour" of models under the direction of Yves Saint Laurent, lasted three months. And in the end, the Soviet side allowed the French to bring a photographer, a hairdresser and "even a priest, if necessary."

Airplane Air France landed in Moscow on June 10, 1959. Luggage flew separately - 120 sets of clothes with jewelry, umbrellas, gloves, hats and shoes were insured for 10 million francs. In just five days, 14 shows and shooting for the magazine took place life which was arranged in GUM. Dior showed the Soviet people a different world, and at the French models, who took to the streets of Moscow in elegant dresses, hats and gloves, passers-by looked back and sometimes looked like they were aliens.
