Which became famous during the reign of Prince Vladimir. We also learned from epics about how the heroes fought for Russian fortresses, how they invited peasant heroes to the princely squad.

Epics glorified the military exploits of Russian heroes in the fight against the Polovtsians and Pechenegs. Once the prince of the Pechenegs offered to meet on the battlefield two heroes - Pecheneg and Russian. Vladimir agreed. The hero of the Pechenegs entered the battlefield. He was so huge and scary that none of Vladimir's warriors dared to go to a duel with him.
Then one citizen turned to the prince, who said that he had a younger son, Nikita Kozhemyak. The townsman said that once Nikita got angry and tore the calfskin he was holding in his hands. He was so strong. Vladimir decided to test Nikita and launched an angry bull at him. Nikita grabbed the bull by the horns and knocked him down. Vladimir understood that Nikita had great power.

But Nikita was short. When he went out to fight the giant Pecheneg, the Pecheneg warriors laughed. They did not believe that Nikita could win this battle. But the Russian hero grabbed the Pecheneg, picked him up and threw him to the ground. Vladimir was so delighted with the unprecedented strength of Nikita that he took him to his squad. Kozhemyaka became a noble man from a simple tanner.

The epics contain many stories about the cunning and intelligence of the Russian people, who sometimes defeated the Pechenegs by deceit. They forced them to return to the steppe without a fight.

In epics they also praised women who, not by force, but by cunning, defeated enemies,

as Vasilisa Mukulishna, daughter of Mikula Selyaninovich. She saved her husband Stavr Godinovich by dressing upinmen's dress, Tatar and presentingshis ambassador from Golden Horde.

The epics tell about princely feasts, about the wealth of the princely court, about the boyars and warriors of the prince, about how they collected tribute from neighboring peoples. Prince Vladimir himself for his glorious state affairs in epics was called Vladimir the Red Sun Work based on the painting by V.M. Vasnetsov "Three heroes"

In order to better understand who the epics are talking about, we will consider Vasnetsov's painting “Three Heroes”, because it best of all reveals to us the glory of Russian heroes.

Dobrynya Nikitich, Alyosha Popovich and Ilya Muromets gaze into the distance, tirelessly guarding the borders of the Russian land. The heroes are strong and majestic, their horses are strong. Which of the heroes is depicted in the center ? (In the center of the picture, the oldest hero is Ilya Muromets. ) The wind tousled his gray hair. He carefully looks from under his hand, if there is a enemy somewhere. He is in chain mail, in his hand a spear, a hero is ready for battle.Ilya Muromets -favorite hero of Russian epics. His exploits cannot be erased in the memory of the people - after all, he protected people from a fierce enemy. This is the personification of the indestructible strength of the heroic squad, the mighty guardian of Kyiv from "filthy horde" that raided Orthodox Russia. He serves the Motherland with honor and glory. One Ilya Muromets always remains the "hope" of the affectionate Prince Vladimir. Ilya Muromets, a peasant son, is rich in bold truth-womb. Sometimes the princes do not like the truth of the peasant, gray, "unwashed." Ilya Muromets gets into the cellars for her, behind the iron gates. But this does not detract from his love of truth, he does not put up with "falsehood-flattery." That is why Russia remembers him.

The epics say that “in the city of Murom, and in the village of Karacharov” Ilya Muromets was born in a simple peasant family. Father's name was Ivan. Born sick and frail. His legs were so weak that he could not walk. So Ilya's parents put it on the stove. So he lay there for thirty years and three years. Ilya had already become an adult, his beard had grown, but he could not do anything because of his illness. Neither plow the field, nor graze cattle, nor go hunting.

Once a magician came to the hut of Ilya Muromets - an old man in white clothes and with a long white beard. I saw Ilya and began to shame him for his laziness and idleness. And then he predicted to him that he would become a great warrior-hero, defender of his native land. Ilya was surprised: “How can I perform feats if I have lain on the stove all my life?” And the magician answered him: “And you get up, try, maybe it will work out!”. Ilya got down from the stove, put his feet on the floor and felt a powerful force in himself. He looked around, but the magician was not there.

As if in a dance, hands to hips,

Leaning left, right

Turns out to fame!

Volga - a werewolf hero

In Russian folklore, the bogatyr Volga, who is also a prince, the leader of the squad, the elder of the family, is one of the most ancient characters. Volga did not differ in special strength, his main "weapon" is the ability to turn into any living creature. He is a werewolf wizard who inherited his magical properties from his serpent father.

Volga with a squad

Volga gathered a squad, trained soldiers, and he made his first military campaign in the kingdom of the Turkish Sultan. Volga's squad captured rich booty - a lot of gold, silver, precious stones. But Volga did not stay in Turkey, but returned to his homeland, began to reign and collect taxes from his peasants.

Volga and Mikula Selyaninovich

Mikula Selyaninovich - a simple peasant, a plowman who plowed the land so that you could hear it for three miles, uprooted rhizomes, threw out huge boulders. Volga realized that Mikula had heroic strength, and invited him to join his squad. Mikula agreed, but first he decided to test the strength of the Volga warriors by asking them to pull a plow out of the ground, shake it off and throw a bush behind the willows so that evil people would not covet his good. Volga's warriors could not do this. Only Mikula pulled the plow out of the ground with one hand, shook it off and threw a bush behind the willows. So a simple peasant, a plowman Mikula Selyaninovich, shamed the heroes of Volga Svyatoslavovich. This epic is called “Volga and Mikula Selyaninovich”.

Svyatogor

The Russian hero Svyatogor lives in the holy mountains, rarely descends from them to people. It is huge, “higher than a standing forest, rests its head under a walking cloud”, it is hardly worn by mother earth. He embodies a mighty, gigantic power, but he is a lone hero and his power is useless. Svyatogor did not accomplish any feats, he only boasted in vain of his prowess, for which he suffered. He was unable to lift the bag from the ground. And the plowman Mikula Selyaninovich easily threw her on his shoulder and went on his way.

Ilya Muromets

The image of Ilya Muromets, the most famous and beloved Russian hero among the people, embodies the best national traits: kindness, strength, justice, honesty.

Healing of Ilya Muromets

He was healed by the elders, Kaliki passersby, endowed him with great strength, they said that he would live and live, fight a lot and he had nowhere to wait for death. Ilya Muromets picked up a horse, Burushko-kosmatushko, and went to military service.

Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber

Ilya Muromets accomplished his first heroic deed during a trip to the capital city of Kyiv. Near Chernigov, he met with the enemy "black force", preparing to capture the city. He beat her all and drove into Chernigov-grad. Chernigov met him with joy, offered him to reign with them. Elijah refused. He needs to go to Kyiv. The peasants warned him that it was dangerous to drive along a straight road, in the forest on seven oaks sits the Nightingale the Robber, Odikhmantev's son, a terrible creature that frightens everyone with its terrible nightingale whistle, snake hiss, animal growl, from which people die. Nobody managed to defeat him.

You can read about who defeated the Nightingale the Robber in the epic "Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber".

Ilya Muromets and Poor Idolishche

This epic has come down to our time in several versions. One says that the action takes place in Kyiv, the other - in the capital of Byzantium, Constantinople. The filthy idol is a generalized image of a foreign enemy, an invader. They could be a Tatar Khan or a Pecheneg. Ilya Muromets went to Tsargrad to free the city from the terrible Idolish that had captured it.

The victory over this foreign enemy is mentioned in the epic "Ilya Muromets and the filthy Idolishche".

Ilya Muromets and Kalin Tsar

In this epic, the struggle of the Russian people against the Mongol-Tatar invasion is reflected in a generalized form. The image of Kalin Tsar embodies the features of the leaders of the Tatars, Mamai and Batu.

Once Ilya Muromets had a strong quarrel with Prince Vladimir the Red Sun. The prince ordered to punish the hero - to put him in a deep cellar, not to give him anything to eat or drink. His wife Apraksia found out about the cruel decision of her husband and realized that a big trouble could happen if enemies attacked Russia, Kyiv could not resist, its inhabitants were full.

You can read about how the Russian hero defended his native land in the epic “Ilya Muromets and Kalin-Tsar”.

Death of Svyatogor

The epic hero Svyatogor was the strongest, the greatest among all Russian heroes. But in his long life he did not accomplish any worthy feats. Just before his death, Svyatogor wanted to give Ilya Muromets his strength and his horse. However, Ilya refused. He does not need excessive strength, from which the mother of the earth cheese suffers, and someone else's miracle horse is not needed either.

Nikitich

Dobrynya Nikitich possessed considerable strength, achieved victories in military affairs thanks to his dexterity and intelligence. He accurately shot from a bow, deftly fought with sabers, but he also skillfully played the harp. He was a versatile person, aroused the interest of many people. In the epic, Dobrynya bathes in the Puchay River - this is a symbol of baptism and kills the Serpent - destroys the symbol of paganism.

Nikitich and Serpent Gorynych

The seven-headed Serpent Gorynych lives on the Sorochinskaya mountain, breathes fire, grabs people with trunks, strangles them. Many Russians are held captive by the Serpent. Dobrynya Nikitich was warned by his mother Amfela Timofeevna not to go to this mountain, not to tempt fate. He did not listen to her. On Mount Sorochinskaya, he trampled all the snakes and released all the captured Russians. Above the fire-breathing river appeared the Serpent Gorynych with twelve trunks. Dobrynya was not at a loss, threw a hat with sand right into the eyes of the Serpent. The Serpent Gorynych went blind, flapped his wings, howled in pain and fell to the ground. Dobrynya wanted to cut off the fire-breathing head of the Serpent with a knife, but he begged for mercy. Dobrynya believed him, took pity and let him go, but, as it turned out, in vain.

Dobrynya Nikitich and Fun Putyatichna

Zabava Putyatichna is the niece of the Kiev prince Vladimir. She was kidnapped by the Serpent Gorynych after he was spared by Dobrynya Nikitich. Prince Vladimir was very sad, he asked Dobrynya to release his beautiful niece. The bogatyr again rode up Mount Sorochinskaya, trampled on the serpents, and began to release the captured Russians from captivity. The Serpent Gorynych got angry and challenged Dobrynya to a fight. For three days and three nights they fought, exhausted, neither one defeated the other. Then Dobrynya gathered his last strength, but the Serpent could not stand it, stumbled. Here the hero cut off his head, and then released Zabava Putyatichna from the snake mountain. Everyone thanked Dobrynya Nikitich and promised to keep a great memory of him.

The battle with the Serpent and the liberation of Zabava Putyatichna is mentioned in the epic "Dobrynya and the Serpent".

bride for Dobrynya Nikitich

Epics about the marriage of Dobrynya Nikitich are found in different options. One tells of Dobrynya's chance meeting in an open field with one horseman, whom he at first mistook for a hero. It took him a lot of effort to get closer and realize that he was wrong. For a hero, he took the girl, the beautiful Nastasya, the daughter of Mikulishna, strong, ready to give a worthy rebuff to any man. Dobrynya liked Nastasya very much, and the hero wooed her. She agreed to become his wife.


Nikitich and Khan Botian

The epic about two heroes, Dobrynya Nikitich and Vasily Kazimirovich, tells about that time in the history of Russia when the Russian princes had to pay tribute to the Golden Horde. But Dobrynya did not want to pay. Together with Vasily Kazimirovich, he managed to defeat the Tatar Khan Botian with intelligence and strength. Russian heroes not only did not pay tribute to the khan, but, on the contrary, forced him to pay tribute to them. And they brought a lot of wealth to Kyiv.

Stavr Godinovich

Stavr Godinovich is a young Novgorod boyar, famous for his playing the harp. The epic about Stavr Godinovich is based on a historical fact: in 1118, the Kyiv prince Vladimir Monomakh imprisoned the boyar Stavr Godinovich in a dungeon for some faults. In the epic, the action is moved more than a hundred years ago, to the era of the reign of another prince, Vladimir the Red Sun, the baptist of Russia. His wife freed her beloved husband by cunning.

What else do epics tell about? Read out.




The first fight of Ilya Muromets As Ilya grabbed the horse with a whip, Burushka flew up - Kosmatushka, slipped a mile and a half. Where the horse's hooves struck, there the spring of living water clogged. At the key, Ilyusha cut down a damp oak tree, put a log house over the key, wrote the following words on the log house: "A Russian hero, a peasant son, Ilya Ivanovich, rode here." A living spring is still flowing there, an oak log house is still standing, and at night a beast walks to the cold spring - a bear to drink water and gain heroic strength. And Ilya went to Kiev. He was driving along a straight road past the city of Chernigov. As he drove up to Chernigov, he heard noise and uproar under the walls: thousands of Tatars surrounded the city. From dust, from a pair of horses above the ground, the haze is standing, the red sun is not visible in the sky. Do not slip between the Tatars to a gray hare, do not fly over the army to a bright falcon. And in Chernigov weeping and groaning, funeral bells are ringing. Chernigov residents locked themselves in a stone cathedral, crying, praying, waiting for death: three princes approached Chernigov, each with a force of forty thousand. Ilya's heart flared up. He laid siege to Burushka, tore out of the ground a green oak with stones and roots, grabbed it by the top and rushed at the Tatars. He began to wave the oak, began to trample the enemies with his horse. Where he waves, there will be a street; if he waves, there is an alley. Ilya rode up to the three princes, grabbed them by the yellow curls and said to them these words:


Oh, you, Tatars - princes! Should I take you as a prisoner, brothers, or take off your violent heads? Take you prisoner - so I have nowhere to put you, I'm on the road, I'm not sitting at home, I have counted bread in tori, for myself, not for freeloaders. Take off your heads - there is little honor for the hero Ilya Muromets. Disperse - go to your places, spread the news to your hordes that your native Russia is not empty, there are mighty heroes in Russia, let the enemies think about it. Then Ilya went to Chernigov - hail, He enters a stone cathedral, and there people cry, say goodbye to the white light. - Hello, peasants of Chernigov, why are you, peasants, crying, hugging, saying goodbye to the white world? - How can we not cry: three princes surrounded Chernigov, each with forty thousand strength, so death is coming to us. - You go to the fortress wall, look into the open field, at the enemy army. The Chernigovites went to the fortress wall, looked into the open field - and there the enemies were beaten - knocked down, as if the field had been cut down by hail. Chernihiv residents beat Ilya with their foreheads, bring him bread - salt, silver, gold, expensive fabrics, embroidered with stones.


Good fellow, Russian hero, what kind of tribe are you? What father, what mother? What is your first name? You come to us in Chernihiv as a governor, we will all obey you, give you honor, feed and drink you, you will live in wealth and honor. Ilya Muromets shook his head: - Good peasants of Chernigov, I am from under the city from under Murom, from the village of Karacharova, a simple Russian hero, a peasant son. I did not save you out of self-interest, and I do not need either silver or gold. I saved Russian people, red girls, little children, old mothers. I will not go to you as governor in wealth to live. My wealth is a heroic strength, my business is to serve Russia, to defend from enemies. The people of Chernigov began to ask Ilya to stay with them for at least a day, to feast at a cheerful feast, but Ilya refuses this too: - I have no time, good people. In Russia, there is a groan from the enemies, I need to get to the prince as soon as possible, get down to business. Give me bread and spring water for the road, and show me the straight road to Kiev. The people of Chernigov thought, they became sad:


Eh, Ilya Muromets, the direct road to Kiev is overgrown with grass, for thirty years no one has traveled along it ... - What is it? - The Nightingale sang there at the Smorodina River - a robber, the son of Rakhmanovich. He sits on three oaks, on nine branches. As he whistles like a nightingale, growls like an animal - all the forests bow to the ground, the flowers crumble, the grasses dry, and people and horses fall dead. Go on, Ilya, dear roundabout. True, straight to Kyiv three hundred miles, and by a roundabout way - a whole thousand. Ilya Muromets was silent for a while, and then shook his head: It’s not honor, not praise for me, well done, to go by the roundabout road, to let the Nightingale the robber prevent people from keeping their way to Kiev. I'll take the straight road, the untravelled one! Ilya jumped on his horse, whipped Burushka with a whip, and he was like that, only the Chernigov people saw him!
