Friend of my harsh days,
My decrepit dove!
Alone in the wilderness of pine forests
You've been waiting for me for a long, long time.
You are under the window of your little room
You're grieving like you're on a clock,
And the knitting needles hesitate every minute
In your wrinkled hands.
You look through the forgotten gates
On a black distant path;
Longing, premonitions, worries
They squeeze your chest all the time.
Yakovleva Arina Rodionovna was born on April 10 (21), 1758 in the village of Lampovo, St. Petersburg province. Her parents were serfs and had six more children. Her real name was Irina, but her family used to call her Arina. She received her surname from her father Yakovlev, later it became Matveev after her husband. Pushkin never called her by name; “nanny” was closer to him. From the memoirs of Maria Osipova, “an extremely respectable old lady - plump-faced, all gray-haired, passionately loving her pet...”
In 1759, Lampovo and the surrounding villages were bought by A.P. Hannibal, Pushkin's great-grandfather. In 1792, Pushkin’s grandmother Maria Alekseevna took Arina Rodionovna as a nanny for her nephew Alexei. For good service in 1795, Maria Alekseevna gave her nanny a house in the village. And in December 1797, a girl was born into the Hannibal family, who was named Olga ( elder sister poet). And Arina Rodionovna is taken into the Pushkin family as a wet nurse.
Soon after this, Pushkin's father, Sergei Lvovich, moved to Moscow. Arina was taken with them as a wet nurse and nanny.
On May 26, 1799, a boy named Alexander appears in the family. Maria Alekseevna also decides to move to Moscow. She sells her estate, but Arina’s house was not sold, but remained for her and her children.
Pushkin’s sister Olga Sergeevna Pavlishcheva claimed that Maria Hannibal wanted to give Arina and her husband, along with their four children, freedom, but she refused her. All her life, Arina considered herself a “faithful slave,” as Pushkin himself called her in Dubrovsky. All her life she was a serf: first Apraksin, then Hannibal, then the Pushkins. At the same time, Arina was in a special position; she was trusted, as defined by V.V. Nabokov, she was a "housekeeper".
In addition to Olga, Arina Rodionovna was the nanny of Alexander and Lev, but only Olga was the nurse. Arina Rodionovna's four children remained to live in her husband's village - Kobrin, and she herself lived first in Moscow, and then in Zakharovo. A few years later she moved to the village of Mikhailovskoye.
Rich families hired not only wet nurses and nannies for the master's children. For boys there was also an "uncle". For Pushkin, for example, Nikita Kozlov was such an “uncle”, who was next to the poet until his death. But, nevertheless, the nanny was closer to Pushkin. Here is what Veresaev wrote about this: “How strange! The man, apparently, was ardently devoted to Pushkin, loved him, cared for him, perhaps no less than the nanny Arina Rodionovna, accompanied him throughout his entire independent life, but is not mentioned anywhere ": neither in Pushkin's letters, nor in the letters of his loved ones. Not a word about him - neither good nor bad." But it was Kozlov who brought the wounded poet into the house in his arms; he, together with Alexander Turgenev, lowered the coffin with Pushkin’s body into the grave.
In 1824-26, Arina Rodionovna lived with Pushkin in Mikhailovskoye. This was the time when young Alexander greedily absorbed his nanny’s fairy tales, songs, folk epics. Pushkin writes to his brother: “Do you know my activities? Before lunch I write notes, I have lunch late; after lunch I ride horseback, in the evening I listen to fairy tales - and thereby compensate for the shortcomings of my damned upbringing. What a delight these fairy tales are! Each one is a poem!” It is interesting that Pushkin himself said that Arina Rodionovna served as the prototype for Tatyana’s nanny in Eugene Onegin, as well as for Dubrovsky’s nanny. It is believed that Arina was the basis for the image of Ksenia’s mother in “Boris Godunov”.
Our dilapidated shack
Both sad and dark.
What are you doing, my old lady?
Silent at the window?
Or howling storms
You, my friend, are tired,
Or dozing under the buzzing
Your spindle?
Let's have a drink, good friend,
My poor youth
Let's drink from grief; where is the mug?
The heart will be more cheerful.
Sing me a song like a tit
She lived quietly across the sea;
Sing me a song like a maiden
I went to get water in the morning.
The storm covers the sky with darkness,
Whirling snow whirlwinds;
The way she howls like a beast,
She will cry like a child.
Let's have a drink, good friend
My poor youth
Let's drink from grief; where is the mug?
The heart will be more cheerful.
Pushkin A.S. 1825.
IN last time Pushkin saw Arina Rodionovna in Mikhailovskoye on September 14, 1827. The nanny died when she was seventy years old, on July 29, 1828 in St. Petersburg. For a long time nothing was known about the day or place of the nanny’s burial. Neither Alexander nor Olga were present at her funeral. Olga’s husband Nikolai Pavlishchev buried her, leaving the grave unmarked. And she soon got lost. Back in 1830, they tried to find the grave of Pushkin’s nanny, but they did not find it. It was believed that she was buried in the Svyatogorsk Monastery, near the poet’s grave; there were those who were sure that Arina Rodionovna was buried in her homeland in Suida; as well as at the Bolsheokhtinsky cemetery in St. Petersburg, where at one time there was even a slab with the inscription “Pushkin’s Nanny”. Only in 1940 did they find in the archives that the nanny’s funeral was held in the Vladimir Church. There they found a record dated July 31, 1828, “5th class official Sergei Pushkin serf woman Irina Rodionova 76 old age priest Alexey Narbekov.” It also turned out that she was buried in the Smolensk cemetery. At the entrance to it you can still find a memorial plaque. It was installed in 1977: “Arina Rodionovna, the nanny of A.S. Pushkin 1758-1828, is buried in this cemetery
"Friend of my harsh days,
My decrepit dove"
Confidant of magical antiquity,
Friend of playful and sad fictions,
I knew you in the days of my spring,
In the days of initial joys and dreams;
I was waiting for you. In the evening silence
You were a cheerful old lady
And she sat above me in the shushun
With big glasses and a frisky rattle.
You, rocking the baby's cradle,
My young ears were captivated by the melodies
And between the shrouds she left a pipe,
Which she herself fascinated.

During the classes
I. Organizing time:
Good afternoon Dear friends and dear guests! Good, good afternoon! I am glad to welcome everyone to our lesson. I hope that you were looking forward to the literature lesson, where we learn to think, reason, and speak!
And, as always, I wish everyone good luck! So, we begin work.
II. Work on the topic of the lesson
Meetings with the work of A. S. Pushkin are “ wonderful moment”, which lasts a lifetime. The name of Pushkin, his facial features enter our consciousness at the very early childhood, and the works cannot leave anyone indifferent.
On June 6, 1799, retired major Sergei Lvovich and his wife Nadezhda Osipovna gave birth to a boy - the future great poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.
Nadezhda Osipovna began to raise him, but the boy ran away from his hot-tempered and irritable mother to his grandmother Maria Alekseevna. There he climbed into her work basket and watched with curiosity the movement of her hands when the grandmother was knitting something. This basket was a real fortress in which Alexander felt under reliable protection. Nadezhda Osipovna gave up on him and handed him over to the care of his grandmother and serf nanny Arina Rodionovna.
These two kind and intelligent women were Pushkin's first teachers. From them he learned to speak Russian, from them he first learned tenderness and affection. They awakened in him a love for folk songs and fairy tales. He wrote down one of them, “The Tale of Tsar Saltan..”, told by his nanny in verse in 1831, by which time he had already become a famous poet. In total, A.S. Pushkin composed five fairy tales. In each of them, as well as in the folk ones, good triumphs over evil: envy and greed are punished, and retribution awaits traitors.
When Alexander turned 12 years old, his parents sent him to study at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum.
Admission to the Lyceum was important event in the life of young Pushkin. Here he met his best friends and experienced events with them Patriotic War 1812. Here he learned about the Battle of Borodino, about the fire in Moscow, about the Russian victory in this war.
The theme of the Patriotic War also prompted his first literary performance - the poem “Memories of Tsarskoye Selo”, which he read during an exam at the beginning of 1815.
Graduated from Lyceum. On a bright June day in 1817, the young poet arrives in St. Petersburg. He often goes to theaters, loves balls, falls in love with society ladies, and dedicates poems to them. But few even among his friends know how selflessly Pushkin works. From his pen comes the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila.” He read it aloud to Zhukovsky, who was therefore famous at that time. Zhukovsky listened very carefully, not taking his kind eyes off the young poet. And then he took his portrait and wrote on it: “To the victorious student from the defeated teacher on that highly solemn day on which he finished his poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila.” It was March 26, 1820.
An admiring Zhukovsky writes: “Wonderful talent! What poetry!”
Soon Pushkin becomes one of the best Russian poets of that time. He reads his fiery poems everywhere.
The rumor about Pushkin’s “free verse” and epigrams, which were becoming increasingly widespread and “passed from hand to hand everywhere,” reached the authorities. Having read Pushkin’s poems and become enraged, the Tsar at first wanted to exile him to Siberia or imprison him in one of the most terrible prisons - the Solovetsky Monastery. Only thanks to the intercession of influential friends was it possible to replace this punishment with a softer one - exile to the south, Ekaterinoslav, then to Chisinau, and three years later to Odessa.
In 1824, Pushkin was sent from the shores of the Black Sea, from Odessa, to a new exile, to his father’s Pskov estate - the village of Mikhailovskoye.
Forced life in Mikhailovskoye for two years (1824-1826) was very painful for the poet, who rightly called it “imprisonment.” But it was during these years that he managed, as never before, to come into contact with the people, with the peasantry. During his exile, the poet had with him his nanny Arina Rodionovna, whom he calls his only friend in both letters and poems of this time, whose fairy tales and songs he again, as in his distant childhood years, eagerly listened to.
In the fall of 1826, Pushkin returned from Mikhailovsky to Moscow. The Tsar decided to bring Pushkin closer to himself. The face-to-face conversation with the king lasted about two hours. In response to the Tsar’s question, where would he have been on December 14, 1825, if he had been in St. Petersburg, the poet replied that he would have been at Senate Square- in the ranks of the rebels.
Nevertheless, Nicholas I announced that he was returning him from exile and that from now on he himself would be his censor.
At this time, A.S. Pushkin was in full bloom of his creative powers. Soon an intrigue arose around the poet, the instrument of which was chosen by the Frenchman Dantes. Standing up for his wife’s honor, Pushkin challenged Dantes to a duel. Pushkin was mortally wounded by a shot in the stomach, and after two days of unbearable torment, on February 10, 1837, he died.
Tragic death the poet was shocked by wide sections of society. It seemed that all of St. Petersburg took to the streets. However, Pushkino’s body was secretly taken out of the city at night. The poet was buried near the family estate Mikhailovskoye near Pskov - in the Holy Mountains.
You are already familiar with the poet’s fairy tales and some of his poems. And now - a new meeting. But today we will talk about a man, without whom Pushkin as a poet would not exist. About whom?
Tell me, who was the source of inspiration for Pushkin? (this is his nanny - Arina Rodionovna)
Oh, how sweet, and anxious, and joyful the dreamy boy felt, catching every word, every gesture of the storyteller. And she knew a great many fairy tales. He asked the nanny to repeat the same fairy tales to him many times... And he remembered them forever.
Pushkin loved his nanny, Arina Rodionovna, very much. His warmest memories were associated with her. She captivated him with her wonderful fairy tales in childhood, she brightened up his loneliness during his exile in Mikhailovskoye.
For a long time winter evenings Arina Rodionovna told Alexander Sergeevich fairy tales and sang songs.
“I listen to my nanny’s fairy tales; she is my only friend, and with her I’m the only one who doesn’t get bored...” Pushkin wrote to his brother from Mikhailovsky.
Pushkin transferred many images from nanny's fairy tales into his works. He always remembered Arina Rodionovna with great warmth and dedicated poems to her.
Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva was born April 10, 1758 V Suyda village
Petersburg province in a family of serfs. A year later, the village went to the new owner Abram Petrovich Hannibal, Pushkin’s great-grandfather.
On December 20, 1797, a daughter, Olga, was born into the family of Sergei Lvovich Pushkin (father of Alexander Sergeevich), and Arina Rodionova was taken as her nanny. The nanny immediately became attached to Olga. She even refused her freedom when grandmother A.S. Pushkina offered to free her family from serfdom.
When Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born in 1799, Arina Rodionovna also became his nanny.
A description of Arina Rodionovna’s appearance has not been preserved, except for a brief one: “She was an extremely respectable old woman - plump in face, all gray.”
Thanks to Arina Rodionovna, he plunged into the world fairy tales, ancient tales and fables, which she told wonderfully.
Pushkin wrote down seven fairy tales in Mikhailovsky from the words of his nanny. One of them served as material for “The Tale of Tsar Saltan,” the other for “The Tale of the Priest and His Worker Balda,” the third for “The Tale of dead princess and about the seven heroes.”
After leaving Mikhailovsky in 1827, Pushkin received letters from his nanny, written under her dictation by an unknown illiterate inhabitant of Mikhailovsky.
Arina Rodionovna:
“Dear Sir Alexander Sergeevich, I have the honor to congratulate you on the past New Year and new happiness... You are constantly in my heart and on my mind, and only when I fall asleep do I forget you... Your promise to visit us in the summer makes me very happy. Come, my angel, to us in Mikhailovskoye, I’ll put all the horses on the road... Farewell, my father, Alexander Sergeevich. For your health, I took out the bread and served a prayer service, live well, my friend, you will fall in love yourself. Thank God I am healthy, I kiss your hands and remain your much-loving nanny Arina Rodionovna.”
“So this is who the first inspirer, the first Muse of this great poet is, this is the nanny, this is a simple Russian village woman!.. As if falling to the breast of Mother Earth, he greedily drank in her stories the pure stream of folk speech and spirit. May she, the nanny, and on behalf of Russian society, have eternal grateful memory!” – wrote Ivan Sergeevich Aksakov.
Many years later, remembering his kind storyteller, the poet will write
poem “Nanny”, dedicated to Arina Rodionovna. We will introduce you to this poem in class today.

"Nanny" Alexander Pushkin
Friend of my harsh days,
My decrepit dove!
Alone in the wilderness of pine forests
You've been waiting for me for a long, long time.
You are under the window of your little room
You're grieving like you're on a clock,
And the knitting needles hesitate every minute
In your wrinkled hands.
You look through the forgotten gates
On a black distant path;
Longing, premonitions, worries
They squeeze your chest all the time.
It seems to you. . . .
Analysis of Pushkin's poem "Nanny"
In the old days, raising children in noble Russian families was carried out not by tutors, but by nannies, who were usually selected from serfs. It was on their shoulders that the daily worries of the lordly children fell, whom their parents saw no more than a few minutes a day. This is exactly how the childhood of the poet Alexander Pushkin proceeded, who almost immediately after his birth was transferred to the care of the serf peasant Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva. This amazing woman subsequently played a very important role in the life and work of the poet important role. Thanks to her, the future classic of Russian literature was able to get acquainted with folk tales and legends, which were subsequently reflected in his works. Moreover, as he grew older, Pushkin trusted his nanny with all his secrets, considering her his spiritual confidante, who could console, encourage, and give wise advice.
Arina Yakovleva was assigned not to a specific estate, but to the Pushkin family. Therefore, when the poet’s parents sold one of their estates, in which a peasant woman lived, they took her with them to Mikhailovskoye. It was here that she lived almost her entire life, occasionally traveling with her children to St. Petersburg, where they spent time from autumn to spring. When Alexander Pushkin graduated from the Lyceum and entered the service, his meetings with Arina Rodionovna became rare, since the poet practically never visited Mikhailovskoye. But in 1824 he was exiled to the family estate, where he spent almost two years. And Arina Rodionovna during this difficult period of the poet’s life was his most faithful and devoted friend.
In 1826, Pushkin wrote the poem “Nanny,” in which he expressed his gratitude to this wise and patient woman for everything that they had experienced together. Therefore, it is not surprising that from the first lines of the work the poet addresses this woman quite familiarly, but at the same time, very respectfully, calling her “a friend of my harsh days” and “decrepit dove.” Behind these slightly ironic phrases lies the enormous tenderness that Pushkin feels for his nanny.. He knows that this woman is spiritually much closer to him than his own mother, and understands that Arina Rodionovna is worried about her pupil, in whom she dotes.
“Alone in the depths of the pine forests, you have been waiting for me for a long, long time,” the poet notes sadly, realizing that this woman is still worried about how his fate will turn out. Using simple and succinct phrases, the poet paints the image of an elderly woman, whose main concern in life is still the well-being of the “young master,” whom she still considers a child. Therefore, Pushkin notes: “Melancholy, premonitions, worries press on your chest all the time.” The poet understands that his “old lady” spends every day at the window, waiting for a mail carriage to appear on the road in which he will arrive at the family estate. “And the knitting needles hesitate every minute in your wrinkled hands,” the poet notes.
But at the same time, Pushkin understands that now he has a completely different life, and he is not able to visit Mikhailovsky as often as his old nanny would like. Therefore, trying to protect her from constant worries and worries, the poet notes: “It seems to you…”. His last meeting with Arina Rodionovna took place in the fall of 1827, when Pushkin was passing through Mikhailovskoye and did not even have time to really talk with his nurse. The following summer, she died in the house of the poet’s sister Olga Pavlishcheva, and her death greatly shocked the poet, who later admitted that he had lost his most faithful and devoted friend. Arina Yakovleva is buried in St. Petersburg at the Smolensk cemetery, but her grave is considered lost.
The warm name of Arina Rodionovna is familiar to everyone from a young age. Knowing what role she played in the life of the great Russian poet, it is impossible to read the poem “Nanny” by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin without emotion. Each of his lines is imbued with warmth, gratitude and gentle sadness.
The poem was written by the poet in 1826, in St. Petersburg. By this time, Pushkin had returned from Mikhailovsky, where he was sent in 1824 after another clash with his superiors. In September, the poet “reconciled” with Nicholas I, who promised him his patronage even though Pushkin did not hide from him his sympathy for the Decembrists.
The text of Pushkin’s poem “Nanny” is divided into 4 parts. First, the poet turns in a friendly manner to his nurse, who was with him not only throughout his childhood, but also during his two-year exile in Mikhailovskoye. My address “decrepit dove” could be called familiar, but Pushkin, firstly, loves very much, and secondly, respects his nanny immensely. She is not only a nurse for him, she is a friend of harsh days, much closer spiritually than his mother.
In the third part of the poem, which is now being taught in a literature lesson in the 5th grade, Alexander Sergeevich mentally returns to why home. The image of a wise and kind nanny endlessly touches him. In his mind's eye, Pushkin sees Arina Rodionovna grieving in front of the window of her little room and waiting and waiting for the master, for whom she is very worried, intensely peering into the distance. With the last lines, the poet emphasizes that he cannot often visit Mikhailovsky and visit his nurse. He has grown up, he has a different life, different concerns and aspirations.
This lyric work is quite easy to learn. His text is soft, smooth, and quickly memorable.
Friend of my harsh days,
My decrepit dove!
Alone in the wilderness of pine forests
You've been waiting for me for a long, long time.
You are under the window of your little room
You're grieving like you're on a clock,
And the knitting needles hesitate every minute
In your wrinkled hands.
You look through the forgotten gates
On a black distant path;
Longing, premonitions, worries
They squeeze your chest all the time.
It seems to you. . . . . . .
Yakovleva Arina Rodionovna
Years of life
(1758-1828)
Nanny A.S. Pushkina, Arina (Irina or Irinya) Rodionovna Rodionova (Yakovleva-Matveeva) was born in the village of Suide (now the village of Voskresenskoye) in the St. Petersburg province. Her mother Lukeria Kirillovna and father Rodion Yakovlev had 7 children. Having lost her father, at the age of ten, the girl early learned need and work. Their family was bought by the poet's great-grandfather Abram Petrovich Hannibal.
In 1781, at twenty-two years old, Arina married Fyodor Matveev, a serf peasant from the village of Kobrin, located 60 versts from St. Petersburg. The village belonged to Pushkin's grandfather Hannibal. In 1797, she was taken into the Pushkin house as a nanny-nurse for Pushkin’s sister Olga Sergeevna, and when Alexander Sergeevich was born, she became his nanny.
Arina Rodionovna had 4 children: Maria, Nadezhda, Egor and Stefan. At 43, she was widowed and never remarried. The first summer in the poet’s life he was under the supervision of a nanny. She looked after young Sasha until he was 7 years old, and then he went into the care of tutors and teachers.
Arina Rodionovna played a big role in the poet’s life. He saw her while visiting the village of Mikhailovskoye in 1817 and 1819.
Arina Rodionovna is an example for others, she is “a wonderful example of spiritual beauty, wisdom and spiritual properties of our people.” Finally, now she herself has become a genius: Arina Rodionovna: “the good genius of the poet.” Under the influence of his nanny, Pushkin fell in love with the Russian language and the Russian people already in childhood.
The nanny's literary talent was very great. She is “a talented storyteller who has absorbed all the wisdom folk poetry" It is known that the poet wrote down seven nanny's fairy tales in drafts, which he then conveyed almost word for word in his poems. Arina Rodionovna, as they say in the poet’s biographies, replaced his family, and at times friends and society. In winter, Pushkin scholars report, the nanny even replaced the stove for him: “In the Mikhailovsky house, frosty winter evening only the nanny’s love warms him.”
Pushkin loved her with a kindred, unchanging love, and in the years of maturity and glory he talked with her for hours. In letters to friends from Mikhailovsk exile, he wrote that “nanny is my only friend - and only with her I am not bored.” The poet felt at ease and comfortable with her; she brightened up his loneliness.
Arina Rodionovna died on July 31, 1828 in St. Petersburg in the house of Pushkin’s sister Olga Sergeevna Pavlishcheva after a short illness at the age of 70. Pushkin perceived the death of his nanny with great sadness. The poet kept the living image of Arina Rodionovna in his soul all his life, with a feeling of deep sadness the poet recalled his nanny when he arrived in Mikhailovskoye in 1835. He wrote to his wife: “In Mikhailovsky I found everything as before, except that my nanny is no longer there...”
Arina Rodionovna's grave is lost. Perhaps she was buried in one of the cemeteries (in particular in Bolsheokhtinsky, because there is a memorial plaque there with the inscription: “In this cemetery, according to legend, the nanny of the poet A.S. Pushkin, Arina Rodionovna, who died in 1828, was buried). St. Petersburg, or maybe in the village of Mikhailovskoye, where there is a monument with the inscription “Nanny.” It stands with right side from the poet's grave." In the village of Mikhailovskoye, the nanny's house has also been preserved. It is a house made of thick pine logs, with small windows.
In the village of Kobrino, located near the village of Suydy, the birthplace of Arina Rodionovna (the Hannibal estate in Suyda has not survived), a State Museum has been opened, which is called “Nanny A.S. Pushkin Arina Rodionovna.” This is a dilapidated 18th century house, miraculously preserved to this day, but the museum exhibits are unique.
A.S. Pushkin. Nanny
Friend of my harsh days,
My decrepit dove!
Alone in the wilderness of pine forests
You've been waiting for me for a long, long time.
You are under the window of your little room
You're grieving like you're on a clock,
And the knitting needles hesitate every minute
In your wrinkled hands.
You look through the forgotten gates
On a black distant path;
Longing, premonitions, worries
Your chest is constantly being squeezed...
It seems to you...
(The poem remained unfinished).......
