• - Following this soldier, four soldiers, carrying something heavy on an overcoat, walked past the fire. One of them stumbled.
  “Look, devils, they put some wood on the road,” he grumbled.
  - Ended up, why wear it? One of them said.
  - Well, you!
  And they hid in the darkness with their burden.
  - What? hurts? Tushin asked Rostov in a whisper.
  - Hurts.
  - Your honor, to the general. They are standing in the hut here, - said the fireworks, going up to Tushin.
  - Now, my dear.
  Tushin got up and, buttoning up his overcoat and recovering, walked away from the fire ...
  Not far from the fire of the artillerymen, in a hut prepared for him, Prince Bagration was sitting at dinner, talking with some of the chiefs of the units who had gathered at his place. There was an old man with half-closed eyes, greedily gnawing a lamb bone, and a twenty-two-year-old flawless general, flushed from a glass of vodka and dinner, and a staff officer with a personalized ring, and Zherkov, restlessly looking around everyone, and Prince Andrei, pale and with pursed lips eyes.
  In the hut there was a French banner that had been taken in the corner, and the auditor with a naive face felt the fabric of the banner and shook his head in bewilderment, perhaps because he was really interested in the appearance of the banner, and maybe because it was hard for him hungry to look at lunch for which he did not get the appliance. In the neighboring hut there was a French colonel taken prisoner by the dragoons. Our officers crowded around him, examining him. Prince Bagration thanked individual chiefs and asked about the details of the case and about the losses. The regimental commander, who presented himself at Braunau, reported to the prince that as soon as the case began, he retreated from the forest, gathered the woodcutters and, letting them pass by him, with two battalions, stabbed and overthrew the French.
  - As I saw, Your Excellency, that the first battalion was upset, I stood on the road and thought: "I will let these pass and meet with battle fire"; did so.
  The regimental commander so wanted to do this, he was so sorry that he had not had time to do this, that it seemed to him that all this was for sure. Even, maybe, it really was? Was it possible to make out in this confusion what was and what was not?
  “And I must note, Your Excellency,” he continued, recalling Dolokhov's conversation with Kutuzov and his last meeting with the demoted one, “that the private, demoted Dolokhov, before my eyes, took a French officer prisoner and especially distinguished himself.
  - Here I saw, your Excellency, the attack of the Pavlogradites, - anxiously looking around, Zherkov intervened, who did not see the hussars that day, but only heard about them from the infantry officer. - Crumpled two squares, your Excellency.
  Some smiled at Zherkov's words, as always expecting a joke from him; but, noticing that what he said also leaned towards the glory of our weapons and the present day, they took a serious expression, although many knew very well that what Zherkov was saying was a lie, not based on anything. Prince Bagration turned to the old colonel.
  - Thank you all, gentlemen, all the units acted heroically: infantry, cavalry and artillery. How are the two guns left in the center? He asked, looking for someone with his eyes. (Prince Bagration did not ask about the guns of the left flank; he already knew that at the very beginning of the case all the guns had been abandoned.) “I seem to have asked you,” he turned to the officer on duty at the headquarters.
  “One was hit,” the officer on duty answered, “and the other, I cannot understand; I myself was there all the time and gave orders, and had just left ... It was hot, really, ”he added modestly.
  Someone said that Captain Tushin was standing here near the village itself, and that they had already sent for him.
  “There you were,” said Prince Bagration, addressing Prince Andrey.
  “Why, we didn't get together a bit,” the officer on duty said, smiling pleasantly at Bolkonsky.
  “I did not have the pleasure of seeing you,” said Prince Andrey coldly and abruptly.
  All were silent. Tushin appeared on the threshold, timidly making his way from behind the backs of the generals. Walking around the generals in a cramped hut, ashamed, as always, at the sight of his superiors, Tushin did not consider the flagpole and stumbled over it. Several voices laughed.
  - How was the weapon left? - asked Bagration, frowning not so much at the captain as at the laughing ones, among whom Zherkov's voice was heard loudest.
  Tushin now only, at the sight of the formidable superiors, in all horror presented himself with his guilt and shame that, while remaining alive, he had lost two weapons. He was so agitated that he had not yet had time to think about it. The officers' laughter confused him even more. He stood in front of Bagration with a trembling lower jaw and barely spoke:
  “I don’t know… Your Excellency… there were no people, Your Excellency.
  - You could take from the cover!
  That there was no cover, Tushin did not say this, although it was the absolute truth. He was afraid to let the other boss down by this, and silently, with fixed eyes, he looked directly into Bagration's face, as a confused student looks into the eyes of an examiner.
  The silence was long enough. Prince Bagration, apparently not wishing to be strict, had nothing to say; the others did not dare to interfere with the conversation. Prince Andrey looked sullenly at Tushin, and his fingers moved nervously.
  - Your Excellency, - Prince Andrey interrupted the silence in his harsh voice, - you have deigned to send me to the battery of Captain Tushin. I was there and found two-thirds of the men and horses killed, two warped, and no cover.
  Prince Bagration and Tushin now looked with equal obstinacy at the restrained and agitated Bolkonsky.
  “And if, your Excellency, allow me to express my opinion,” he continued, “we owe the success of the day most of all to the action of this battery and the heroic staunchness of Captain Tushin and his company,” said Prince Andrey and, without waiting for an answer, immediately got up. and walked away from the table.
  Prince Bagration looked at Tushin and, apparently not wishing to show distrust of Bolkonsky's harsh judgment, and at the same time, feeling himself unable to fully believe him, bowed his head and told Tushin that he could go. Prince Andrew went out after him.
  “Thank you: I helped out, my dear,” Tushin told him.
  Prince Andrey glanced round at Tushin and, without saying anything, walked away from him. Prince Andrew was sad and hard. It was all so strange, so unlike what he had hoped for.

  "Who are they? Why are they? What do they want? And when will it all end? " thought Rostov, looking at the changing shadows before him. The pain in my hand became more and more excruciating. Sleep was irresistible, red circles were jumping in my eyes, and the impression of these voices and these faces and the feeling of loneliness merged with the feeling of pain. It was they, these soldiers, wounded and not wounded, it was they who pressed, and weighed, and twisted the veins, and burned the meat in his broken arm and shoulder. To get rid of them, he closed his eyes.
  He forgot himself for one minute, but in this short interval of oblivion he saw in his dream countless number of objects: he saw his mother and her big white hand, saw Sonya's thin shoulders, Natasha's eyes and laughter, and Denisov with his voice and mustache, and Telyanin , and his entire history with Telyanin and Bogdanych. This whole story was one and the same, that this soldier with a harsh voice, and this then the whole story and that soldier so painfully, relentlessly held, pressed and everyone pulled his hand in one direction. He tried to move away from them, but they did not let go of his shoulder either for a hair or for a second. It wouldn’t hurt, it would be great if they hadn’t been pulling it; but it was impossible to get rid of them.
  He opened his eyes and looked up. The black canopy of the night hung for an arshin over the glow of the coals. Powders of falling snow flew in this light. Tushin did not return, the doctor did not come. He was alone, only a soldier was now sitting naked on the other side of the fire and warming his thin yellow body.
  “Nobody needs me! Thought Rostov. - There is no one to help or regret. And I was once at home, strong, cheerful, beloved. " He sighed and involuntarily groaned with a sigh.
  - Ay hurts what? - asked the soldier, shaking his shirt over the fire, and, without waiting for an answer, grunted, added: - You never know the people have been spoiled - passion!
  Rostov did not listen to the soldier. He looked at the snowflakes fluttering over the fire and recalled the Russian winter with a warm, bright house, a fluffy fur coat, fast sleighs, a healthy body and with all the love and care of a family. "And why did I come here!" he thought.
  The next day, the French did not renew their attacks, and the remainder of the Bagrationov detachment joined Kutuzov's army.

  Prince Vasily did not consider his plans. He even less thought to do evil to people in order to gain profit. He was only a secular person who succeeded in the world and made a habit out of this success. He constantly, depending on the circumstances, according to the rapprochement with people, made up various plans and considerations, in which he himself did not give himself a good account, but which constituted the whole interest of his life. Not one or not two such plans and considerations were in use for him, but dozens of which some were just beginning to appear to him, others were achieved, and still others were destroyed. He did not say to himself, for example: "This man is now in power, I must acquire his trust and friendship and through him arrange for myself the issuance of a lump sum," or he did not say to himself: "Here Pierre is rich, I must lure him into marrying my daughter and borrow the 40 thousand I need ”; but a man in strength met him, and at the same moment instinct prompted him that this man could be useful, and Prince Vasily approached him and at the first opportunity, without preparation, by instinct, flattered, became familiar, talked about than necessary.
  Pierre was at his fingertips in Moscow, and Prince Vasily arranged for him to be assigned to the cells of a cadet, which was then equal to the rank of state councilor, and insisted that the young man go with him to Petersburg and stay at his house. As if absent-mindedly and at the same time with undoubted confidence that this should be so, Prince Vasily did everything that was necessary in order to marry Pierre to his daughter. If Prince Vasily were thinking ahead of his plans, he could not have had such naturalness in his treatment and such simplicity and familiarity in dealing with all people who were placed above and below himself. Something attracted him constantly to people stronger or richer than him, and he was gifted with the rare art of catching the very moment when it was necessary and possible to use people.
  Pierre, having suddenly become a rich man and Count Bezukhim, after his recent loneliness and carelessness, felt himself to such an extent surrounded, busy, that only in bed he could be alone with himself. He had to sign papers, deal with public places, the meaning of which he did not have a clear idea of, ask the general manager about something, go to the estate near Moscow and receive many people who did not want to know about his existence before, but now would be offended and upset, if he did not want to see them. All these various persons - businessmen, relatives, acquaintances - were all equally well, affectionately disposed towards the young heir; all of them, obviously and undoubtedly, were convinced of Pierre's high merits. Incessantly he heard the words: "With your extraordinary kindness" or "with your beautiful heart," or "you yourself are so pure, count ..." or "if he were as smart as you", etc., so he he sincerely began to believe his extraordinary kindness and his extraordinary mind, all the more so as always, in the depths of his soul, it seemed to him that he was really very kind and very clever. Even people who were formerly evil and obviously hostile became gentle and loving with him. Such an angry eldest of the princesses, with a long waist, with hair smoothed like a doll's, came to Pierre's room after the funeral. Lowering her eyes and flashing incessantly, she told him that she was very sorry for the misunderstandings between them and that now she did not feel entitled to ask for anything, except for permission, after the blow that had befallen her, to stay for several weeks in the house that she loved so much and where. so many sacrifices. She could not resist and burst into tears at these words. Moved by the fact that this statue-like princess could change so much, Pierre took her hand and apologized, without knowing why. From that day on, the princess began to knit a striped scarf for Pierre and completely changed towards him.
  - Do it for her, mon cher; all the same, she suffered a lot from the deceased, - Prince Vasily told him, giving him to sign some kind of paper in favor of the princess.
  Prince Vasily decided that this bone, a bill of 30 tons, still had to be thrown to the poor princess so that it would not occur to her to talk about the participation of Prince Vasily in the case of the mosaic portfolio. Pierre signed the bill, and since then the princess has become even kinder. The younger sisters also became affectionate towards him, especially the youngest, pretty, with a mole, often embarrassed Pierre with their smiles and embarrassment at the sight of him.
  It seemed so natural to Pierre that everyone loved him, so it would seem unnatural, if someone did not love him, that he could not help but believe in the sincerity of the people around him. Moreover, he did not have time to ask himself about the sincerity or insincerity of these people. He constantly had no time, he constantly felt himself in a state of meek and cheerful intoxication. He felt himself the center of some important general movement; felt that something was constantly expected of him; that, if he did not do that, he would upset many and deprive them of what they expected, but do this and that, everything will be fine - and he did what was required of him, but this something good was still ahead.
  More than anyone else at this first time, both the affairs of Pierre and himself were possessed by Prince Vasily. Since the death of Count Bezukhoi, he has not let go of Pierre. Prince Vasily had the appearance of a man burdened with deeds, tired, exhausted, but out of compassion he could not finally abandon this helpless young man, the son of his friend, apres tout, [in the end,] to the mercy of fate and rogues, and with such a huge fortune. In those few days that he stayed in Moscow after the death of Count Bezukhoi, he called Pierre to himself or came to him himself and prescribed him what he needed to do in such a tone of fatigue and confidence, as if he were saying every time:
  "Vous savez, que je suis accable d" affaires et que ce n "est que par pure charite, que je m" occupe de vous, et puis vous savez bien, que ce que je vous propose est la seule chose faisable. [ You know, I am overwhelmed with things, but it would be merciless to leave you like that; of course, what I tell you is the only possible thing.]
  “Well, my friend, tomorrow we are going at last,” he said to him one day, closing his eyes, touching his elbow with his fingers, and in such a tone as if what he was saying had been decided a long time ago between them and could not have been decided otherwise.
  - Tomorrow we are going, I will give you a place in my wheelchair. I am very happy. Everything important is over here. And I really should have been. Here's what I got from the Chancellor. I asked him about you, and you are enrolled in the diplomatic corps and made a chamber junker. Now the diplomatic path is open to you.
  Despite the strength of the tone of weariness and confidence with which these words were uttered, Pierre, who had thought for so long about his career, was about to object. But Prince Vasily interrupted him in that cooing, bass tone that excluded the possibility of interrupting his speech and which he used in case of need for extreme conviction.
  - Mais, mon cher, [But, my dear,] I did it for myself, for my conscience, and there is nothing to thank me. No one ever complained that he was loved too much; and then, you are free, even if tomorrow give it up. You will see everything yourself in Petersburg. And it's high time for you to get away from these terrible memories. - Prince Vasily sighed. - So so, my soul. And let my valet ride in your carriage. Oh yes, I just forgot, ”added Prince Vasily,“ you know, mon cher, that we had accounts with the deceased, so I got it from Ryazan and I will leave it: you don’t need it. We will reckon with you.
  What Prince Vasily called from "Ryazan" was several thousand rent, which Prince Vasily kept.
  In St. Petersburg, as well as in Moscow, an atmosphere of gentle, loving people surrounded Pierre. He could not refuse the place or, rather, the title (because he did nothing), which Prince Vasily gave him, and there were so many acquaintances, calls and social activities that Pierre felt even more than in Moscow, he felt a sense of bewilderment, haste and everything that comes, but does not happen any good.

Today you will learn about the most important holidays in certain countries. Indeed, on this day, any state celebrates a significant event. To keep abreast of all the holidays, we recommend that you read this article.

Holidays in Russia August 1, 2019

Home Front Day of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The Day of the Rear Services of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was approved back in 1998 on May 7. The order was accepted by the Ministry of Defense. Today, this event is celebrated annually on August 1st. By our time, the armed forces of the Russian Federation are the most important and effective potential of the state.

The country's economy and troops are closely related. It is worth noting that the logistics headquarters consists of nine central directorates and three central command services.

Day of formation of the service of special communications of Russia

Back in 1939, the inhabitants of our country celebrated the "Day of the formation of the special communications service of Russia." However, much later, the name changed slightly. Every year, some residents of Russia celebrate this holiday. A couple of years ago, a special service was set up to deliver secret jewelry, etc. This process had to take place in secret.

Today, technology has gone so far that the supply and transmission of any information or accessories does not bring any problems, but quite the opposite. Any item can be delivered from one point of the world to another in a few hours or even days.

All-Russian day of the collector

To celebrate the holiday "Day of the All-Russian collector" some employees gather annually on August 1. This service was created in 19393 at the State Bank of the USSR. Since at that time it was necessary to transport and deliver money safely.

We needed a special guard to transport funds from one point to another. All these actions took place in Kievan Rus. Only then did merchants appear, who in turn became princes and boyars.

After creating a new service, some wealthy people hired people to transport money. Thus, the profession of inspector arose.

Rest of the World Holidays August 1, 2019

Civil Day in Canada

Every year on August 1, residents of Canada celebrate the "Civic Day". On this day, all residents of the country do not go to work. The holiday is considered official. This event does not carry any revolutionary speculation. The main idea of ​​the holiday is that all Canadians need a weekend to relax. Accordingly, the authorities chose the first of August.

Also, it is worth noting that in 1869 a special record appeared in Toronto, which indicated that the residents of Canada needed a short summer vacation. Therefore, we came to a consensus to celebrate the new event.

Day of the Azerbaijani alphabet and language

In 2001, by order of Heydar Aliyev, the holiday "Day of the Azerbaijani alphabet of the language" was approved. After this time, this event is celebrated annually on August 1. Earlier, Azerbaijanis used the Arabic alphabet. However, as soon as the Bolsheviks came to power, the times in Azerbaijan changed dramatically. The authorities began to conduct cosmopopolitan experiments with traditions, etc. After a certain time, the Russian language was established in Azerbaijan as the state language.

However, in the twenties, certain reforms took place in Azerbaijan. The old Arabic alphabet was changed to Azerbaijani. Several years later, the authorities decided to use the Cyrillic alphabet. It is worth noting that the Azerbaijani alphabet has changed three times.

Confederation Day - a national holiday in Switzerland

The oldest holiday is considered "Confederation Day in Switzerland". This event is celebrated annually on August 1st.

This holiday has been recognized as official since the seventies of the nineteenth century. However, already in 1994, this day was declared non-working. Celebrations are organized for this event. Bonfires are traditionally lit.

Emancipation Day in Jamaica

Throughout Britain, the so-called "Day of Emancipation" is celebrated annually on August 1. It was customary to celebrate this event in the Caribbean. Since on this day, many residents of this regional region do not work.

For 160 years, Jamaica has wanted freedom in its territory. Previously, complete slavery reigned here. So, in 1834, slavery was officially abolished. All slaves were completely free.

Day of the creation of the People's Liberation Army of China

In 1927, on August 1, the celebration of the "Day of the Creation of the People's Liberation Army of China" was organized. This holiday is celebrated annually throughout the country.

Only in 1946, the name of the holiday was changed. Prior to that, it had the name of the "Workers 'and Peasants' Revolutionary Army". Today, this holiday is celebrated mainly by military personnel.

Day of Lammas (Lughnasad)

A significant holiday called "Lammas Day" is celebrated annually on 1 August. This holiday was mainly celebrated by artisans. Lugnasad was considered the god of the Celtic pantheon. He was in turn the patron saint of agriculture. During this time, various harvesting works were carried out. The first harvest was being gathered. Almost all members of the community took part here.

On August 1, all family members put on special outfits and went out to the ceremony. On the day of the celebration of this event, some women handed out cheeses from cottage cheese, which brought happiness to all those people who were at that time on the summer pasture.

The main feature of the holiday is the gathering of Scots at the top of the mountain. Previously, sacrifices were made and games were held in the mountains. The tradition is still preserved in Scotland. On this day, it is customary to light bonfires at the top of the mountain and dance around.

Day of professional cash collection staff

For the first time, the collection service was created at the State Bank of the USSR in 1939, although the need for armed security and escort of funds appeared during the heyday of Kievan Rus. Then the trade caravans were guarded by the forces of boyar squads, and starting from the 16th century, the Surozh merchants sent their caravans with an impressive guard, headed by a representative of the richest stratum. Cash collection emerged later - when it became necessary to collect and deliver funds to banks. Attendants of the service - collectors - deliver money and valuables to the bank's operating cash desk. As the turnover of banks grows, the collection service is constantly evolving.

Day of the rear of the armed forces of Russia

The Ministry of Defense approved the holiday on May 7, 1998, but the real starting point is 1700, when, by decree of Peter I, all grain reserves of Russia were transferred to the subordination of the military men of Okolnichy Yazykov, and the manager himself received the title of General-Provision. The supply of bread and fodder for the army was carried out by a special body - the Provision Order, this was the prototype of food supply, which today is the leading type of support for the troops.

During the Great Patriotic War, there was a separation of the rear as an independent branch of the armed forces, headed by the chief of the rear of the Red Army. Other departments were subordinate to him - sanitary, veterinary, quartermaster and fuel supply department. And today, the rear is considered an important part of the defense potential of the country and the army; it is a truly harmonious mechanism connecting the country's economy and the troops that consume products.

Day of the Azerbaijani alphabet and language

The new Azerbaijani alphabet according to the Latin script began to be used at the end of the 20s of the last century, but it actively served for only 10 years, then it was decided to switch to the Cyrillic alphabet. Thus, the real language has become a real record holder in the transition of the alphabet. The new alphabet began to be actively introduced after the collapse of the USSR, and for some time the editions were published in two languages. The transition to the Latin script was fully implemented on August 1, 2001 by the decree of President Heydar Aliyev.

Makrin's day, Mokriny

The Monk Macrina of Cappadocia is the sister of Saint Basil. They lived in the 4th century and were raised in piety and obedience. After taking the vow of monasticism, the nun settled near the Irisa River. Macrina's chastity aroused great respect, many noble ladies and virgins came to her. Even in illness, she did not strip herself in front of doctors, but only begged God for healing. The reward for faith soon followed — miraculous healing and the gift of miracles. In Russia, the name of the miraculous saint is associated with the approach of autumn: "Macrina is wet - and autumn is wet."

If there was rainfall that day, a good grain harvest was expected, and a lot of nuts would grow in the forest. There is also a special rain ceremony, according to which it was possible to cause precipitation. For this girl. The one born on this day dressed up in a festive dress and was presented with ears of bread. If the day was rainy, then it is better for people born on this day not to leave the house - otherwise the downpour floods the whole earth. Summer for insects ends on Mokrina - gadflies bite for the last time, down begins to fall from aspens and you can go for the first autumn mushrooms.

Historical events 1 August

Thus, the beginning of the work of the department of the mining and geological industry was laid. In various regions of the empire, they began to look for ore and minerals. Persons versed in metals were trained, ore processing plants were built - Russia no longer needed foreign raw materials. Just two decades later, Russia was actively trading in other countries in iron and copper. The Scientific Meeting was opened as a scientific center and the Scientific Committee of Mining was organized. Almost 200 years later, a permanent "Society of Mining Engineers" was opened, where the greatest scientists of the 19th century presented their reports. In 2000, the 3300th anniversary of the Russian Mining Department was celebrated.

Even Chinese manuscripts of the 8th century mentioned oxygen, and in the 16th century, Leonardo da Vinci deeply studied the chemistry of the element, not knowing that it was oxygen, and only Joseph Priestley managed to decompose mercury oxide using a ray of the sun directed at the lens. The scientist called the resulting gas "deflogisticated air", considering it a constituent, but not a separate element.

Later, the scientist found that oxygen, being just a part of the air, is contained in many substances. A few years later, the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele came to the same conclusions, having obtained oxygen by calcining saltpeter. In 1777, he named the resulting gas "Fiery Air". Priestley's friend, the scientist Lavoisier, finally figured out everything, so the discovery of molecular oxygen can be attributed to three scientists.

The scientist began his scientific activity as a compiler of a botanical dictionary, in which he systematized and described 2000 genera of plants. Then many discoveries were made in the field of natural sciences - the concept of the biosphere, the creation of the theory of evolution. In 1809, his book "The Philosophy of Zoology" was published, which brought worldwide fame. Lamarck lived out his life in poverty, having lost his sight, and dictated his works under the record of his daughter.

The Grand Duke of Moscow solemnly rode into Smolensk, conquered by the Russian squads. One hundred and ten years the city was under the rule of Lithuania. And now, finally, all the lands were united in a single, Russian state. The joy at the Moscow court - according to the chronicler - was extraordinary, because Vasily's father, John the Third, dreamed of annexing Smolensk ...

In honor of the event, the Novodevichy Convent was founded in Moscow.

On August 1, 1725, the Russian Academy of Sciences was opened in St. Petersburg. In fact, it was established by the decree of Peter I back in January 1724. However, the date of the opening of the academy is still considered to be August 1, 1725, when the first meeting of the academicians took place. It is from this day that many Russian sciences start counting. Indeed, before the Petrine Academy, such scientific branches as medicine, botany, zoology, meteorology and others were represented only by scattered notes of various naturalists.

The Academy of Sciences was located on Vasilievsky Island, in the building of the Cabinet of Curiosities. Unlike Western academies, the Russian one was fully supported by the state, which made it possible to attract prominent European scientists to the country.

August 1, 1726 - Empress Catherine the First established in Russia the Supreme Privy Council, consisting of seven or eight people and designed to solve the most important problems of the country. The council lasted only four years and was dissolved by another empress, Anna Ioannovna, who suspected that this body wished to appropriate some of the prerogatives of autocracy.

However, even after the dissolution of the Privy Council, the highest ranks remained in Russia. As you know, Russian officials were divided into fourteen classes according to the table of ranks. The second, practically the highest civilian class was the "real privy councilors" - they held the posts of ministers. The third class was called "secret advisers" - these are the comrades of ministers (as they would say now - deputies) and equated to them

Jean Baptiste Lamarck was born on August 1, 1744. He was the chief botanist of the French king and a member of the Paris Academy of Sciences, and then began to study zoology.

Lamarck is deservedly considered the creator of the first evolutionary theory, the founder of zoopsychology and the predecessor of Charles Darwin. He called his main work "The Philosophy of Zoology". Lamarck believed that the reasons for evolution were striving for progress, development from simple to complex. The recognition of the scientist's works came after his death, when Darwin confirmed the correctness of the evolutionary theory.

Herman Melville was born on August 1, 1819. Coming from a family of American aristocrats, he sailed in the Pacific Ocean on a whaling ship. The very first book by Melville "Typee" - a story about the author's adventures in captivity by a tribe of cannibals - was a huge success. And his novel "Moby Dick, or the White Whale" is recognized as the greatest American novel of the 19th century.

Moby Dick's language has been likened by critics to an ocean wave "that rises, swells, rises, then collapses, spraying millions of sparkling drops."

“For fellow philologists, Annensky was not a scientist, but only a talented lecturer with annoying decadent tastes,” wrote Mikhail Gasparov. without realizing that he is much older than both of them. "

Truly a poet, hiding behind the pseudonym Nick. T-oh, was born after death. Anna Akhmatova considered Annensky to be her only teacher; Nikolai Gumilyov called him “the last of the Tsarskoye Selo swans”.

"I work exclusively for the future ..." - Annensky once remarked. Poets are always perspicacious.

On August 1, 1858, Ilya Ostroukhov was born - landscape painter, portrait painter, museologist and collector. He participated in exhibitions of various associations of Russian artists: the Abramtsevo association, the Itinerants, World of Art. His canvases were acquired by Tretyakov, who considered the painting "Siverko" the best landscape in his gallery.

Ilya Ostroukhov considered the replenishment of the Tretyakov Gallery to be the most important thing in his life. As a gift, he donated about 800 works from his collection: a magnificent collection of icons, paintings and more than 600 drawings, which became the basis of the graphics fund. He was the first of all collectors to perceive the icon as a work of art that should be exhibited in a museum. On the initiative of Ostroukhov, icons for the first time became part of the Tretyakov Gallery's exposition.

On August 1, 1906, Pyotr Stolypin was appointed Russian Prime Minister. The forty-four-year-old Saratov governor (from the landowners) made his way to power thanks to a rare combination of flexibility and firmness. He repeated the path of every decent person: in his youth - a liberal, in maturity - a conservative and monarchist. On occasion he knew how to flatter his superiors, but he disdained bribery. He was notable for his courage and more than once single-handedly pacified the rebellious peasants.

During the 1905 revolution, Stolypin was appointed Minister of the Interior. Thanks to him, the Russian language was enriched with the tenacious idioms "Stolypin's tie" and "Stolypin's carriage". He also instituted courts-martial, which in 24 hours sent revolutionaries seized with weapons in their hands to the gallows. There were more than 4 thousand of them in four years.

The revolutionaries tried to take revenge and in August 1906 blew up Stolypin's dacha on Aptekarsky Island, crippling his two children. By that time, he was already prime minister, but the ruling circles no longer liked him when he proposed limiting landlord property. The decree on the resignation of Stolypin was already ready when on September 14, 1911, he was shot dead in the Kiev opera by the Socialist-Revolutionary terrorist Bogrov. With the last movement, the falling Stolypin, leaning on the orchestra barrier, tried to cross the emperor who was sitting in the box.

The murderer was hastily hanged. No one began to find out why this longtime secret police agent shot Stolypin. Meanwhile, the fact remains: Bogrov received a pass to the strictly guarded theater building, where "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" was held that evening, from the secret police.

August 1 is the birthday of Valentina Mikhailovna Leontyeva.
Everyone knows her. For many years this infinitely charming woman told us and our children fairy tales and wished good night. The stars of the TV screen - Khryusha, Stepashka, Filya and Karkusha - were her constant entourage. Viewers still send her letters. People's Artist, laureate of the State Prize Valentina Leontyeva, host of programs "Good night, kids", "Visiting a fairy tale", "From the bottom of my heart", "Blue light" for many remains the same aunt Valya.
And she says: “What kind of star am I? I'm just a person doing what I love. "

The German capital received the right to host the Olympics in 1932, when the Nazis were not yet in power. The President of the IOC, the Belgian Count Henri de Baye-Latour, obtained from the German authorities a formal agreement to abide by the Olympic Charter, and the Nazis had to admit to the Games black athletes, whom they considered subhuman.

To the horror of all Germany and the Fuhrer personally, the American black athlete Jesse Owens not only won four gold medals, but also beat Hitler's favorite Lutz Long in the last attempt in the long jump. Otherwise, the Games met the expectations of the leaders of the Reich: German athletes were ahead of the Americans and the teams of another 47 countries in the team competition, and a huge number of propaganda events were held during the competition.

Since June 1, anti-Semitic posters have been removed from Berlin streets, and concentration camp prisoners have been ordered to use them away from busy highways. From among the athletes, "true Aryans" were carefully selected, who were persistently invited to marry members of the Union of German Girls. The Berlin Olympics went down in history as the first to be televised to a wide audience.
