What was the Belgorod fortress, the orders established in it? The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low. People in the fortress are accustomed to the fact that active hostilities do not take place here, the service goes on calmly.

Captain Mironov and Vasilisa Yegorovna, his wife, have been living here for many years. Vasilisa Egorovna takes part in all the affairs of her husband, the situation in the fortress is almost homely. It produced on Grinev

A depressing impression. How to explain such a “family” nature of relations between people in the fortress?

This was due to the morals of the commandant of the fortress and his wife. These are people of the old way, they treated their subordinates without ceremony, and most of the soldiers were local residents. This was also determined by the fact that strict discipline was not required, since minor unrest of the Bashkirs was not dangerous. Tell us about its inhabitants.

Ivan Kuzmich, the commandant of the fortress, and his wife, Vasilisa Yegorovna, show an example of the old patriarchal way of life. They live in perfect harmony, Vasilisa Egorovna supports her husband in everything, comments (not without a share of irony) on his actions, and gives advice. From her remarks, we learn that the captain "does not know sense" in the service, respectively, cannot teach his subordinates anything. Vasilisa Yegorovna Shvabrin calls "a beautiful lady."

We learn about Shvabrin that he has been in the fortress for the fifth year, is here as a punishment for a duel that ended in death. Shvabrin tries to make friends with Grinev, he manages to do this. In this chapter, he is characterized as a witty, cheerful person.

Marya Ivanovna is the daughter of Captain Mironov. She is a pretty eighteen year old girl. It is not yet clear why Shvabrin, in a conversation with Grinev, described her as a fool.

But the reader understands that she is sensitive (does not tolerate firing from cannons), brought up in the old traditions, not rich (the Mironovs are poor, but regret it only because it may prevent their daughter from getting married). What is the meaning of the soldier's song, which is the epigraph to Chapter III? Recall that the epigraph is one of the means of expressing the author's position.

It is in the epigraphs that we guess the personality of A. S. Pushkin, since the narration is conducted on behalf of the main character. The author ironically uses the following epigraph: the Belgorod fortress bears little resemblance to a fortification, and “fierce enemies” have not yet been here. This brave song does not correspond to what is actually here.

The second quote from Fovizin's "Undergrowth" also sets the reader in an ironic mood: "strange people" in the sense that they are very far from the world, not developed properly, because they are far from the center of Russia, from large cities. What are your impressions of each of the characters? The characters are underrepresented.

We have just started reading. But impressions about each of them have already developed. Ivan Kuzmich Mironov is no longer a young commandant of the fortress, he does not keep a strict order, since, apparently, he considers it optional. He listens to his wife.

Vasilisa Egorovna is a very skillful housekeeper, she knows how to clearly and correctly organize life so that everyone feels at home. Interested in the fate of other people. Marya Ivanovna is a modest, sweet girl who obeys her parents in everything, was brought up in a patriarchal family, perceives her way of life as natural.

Shvabrin evoked an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, this is a cheerful, witty person. On the other hand, Grinev's remark that Shvabrin presented Masha as a complete fool is alarming.

It can be assumed that Shvabrin has dark feelings and thoughts.

The second quote from Fovizin's "Undergrowth" also sets up
reader in an ironic way: "strange people" in the sense that

mu that are far from the center of Russia, from large cities

The Belogorsk fortress was a village lost in the steppe, surrounded by a tyn that had rotted in many places. The majority of the population consisted of disabled soldiers (a disabled person, that is, who had left military age, but remained in the ranks of the army) teams that made up a garrison of one hundred and thirty people, and Cossacks. Orders in the fortress were the most domestic - Vasilisa Yegorovna, the wife of the captain, was in charge of everything. To a large extent, this was due to the fact that both the soldiers and their commanders, except for Shvabrin, were themselves peasants, lived on subsistence farming, and there had never been a military threat as such. Peaceful uncomplicated life dictated its own rules of existence. Minor unrest of a few gangs of Bashkirs and Kirghiz were relatively harmless, and they had not been for many years. Most of the soldiers had already grown old in the service in Belogorskaya, their commander and his wife had lived there for twenty years.
Ivan Kuzmich was an old campaigner, stupid, but honest and kind. He became an officer from the children of soldiers and deep down he continued to be a soldier. His nobility (and only a nobleman could be an officer) was deprived of even that minimal aristocracy that Grinev's parents possessed. He sometimes recalled the service and tried to “teach” the soldiers, trying to explain to them where the right and where the left leg was, but his wife constantly pulled him up and, from the point of view of everyday life, was, as a rule, completely right.
Vasilisa Yegorovna was not a stupid woman, talkative and curious, like any brisk village woman who was forced to manage a large household, and she considered the whole fortress to be her household. She adored the news and everything that added variety to a boring life, tried to keep everything in her hands, which she succeeded in doing, since she was the commandant's wife. Of course, her horizons were minimal, and the fact that Grinev's father owned three hundred serfs made a deep impression on her, while it was a very small number of serf souls in Catherine's time.
Marya Ivanovna, their daughter, was a quiet, silent woman, easily embarrassed, but very sincere and sincere. She was a marriageable girl, but in such a wilderness it was not at all easy to meet an interesting person. Masha possessed great cordial sensitivity and intuitively could feel the qualities of a person, so she shunned Shvabrin.
Aleksey Ivanovich Shvabrin at first gave the impression of a witty and uninhibited person who knew the value of local secrets and good-naturedly teased them. Later it turns out that this impression is deceptive, and Shvabrin harbors a deep wound in his soul.
On the one hand, the soldier's song put in the epigraph sets the reader in a certain brave mood and tells what the chapter should be about, on the other hand, it is a kind of humor of the author. Indeed, the wooden fence around the village can hardly be called a "fortress". in the song it is sung about a cannon, and it seems that it is just about the cannon from the story, because it was the only noise. The quote from Fonvizin's "Undergrowth" orients just such a perception. It is the “old people” who turn out to be the inhabitants of the Belogorsk fortress cut off from the world.

The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low. People in the fortress are accustomed to the fact that active hostilities do not take place here, the service goes on calmly. Captain Mironov and Vasilisa Yegorovna, his wife, have been living here for many years. Vasilisa Egorovna takes part in all the affairs of her husband, the situation in the fortress is almost homely. This made a depressing impression on Grinev.

He left behind a great literary legacy. All his works are wonderful and we read them with pleasure. Recently, in literature, we met with. It consists of fourteen parts. Today we will analyze the third chapter of Pushkin's famous work The Captain's Daughter. This chapter is called Fortress. What is the Belogorsk fortress in the work of Pushkin and what orders were established there?

What was the Belogorsk fortress and the order established in it?

Let's turn to the text. When the protagonist arrived at the Belogorsk Fortress, he did not see impregnable and formidable bastions there, and there was no strict boss there either. Grinev did not see the fortress or a brave army with weapons in their hands, just as he did not find cannons that would be placed on the walls. What appeared before his eyes?

Arriving at the place, Grinev sees the village. She was lost in the steppe and was surrounded by a fence made of logs. Many of them were already rotten, but this did not bother the local inhabitants. All because in this place hostilities very rarely took place, and the rare unrest of the gangs of the Kirghiz did not carry danger. The village had an unsightly appearance, with its crooked streets, low thatched houses. The commandant met Grinev, who could easily go to the exercises not in the uniform of the chief, but in an ordinary dressing gown. The army was represented by disabled soldiers, those who had long since left military age. A completely undefended fortress, on whose territory there was only one old cannon.

But, despite the strange reality, Grinev liked the inhabitants. He met wonderful people, was able to see the beauty of their lives. Someone might have wished for another society in the fortress, but the young man wrote in his notes that he did not need another society. The guy likes sincere conversations with people. All orders on the territory of the fortress are built in a home-style. It is not difficult to explain such a family nature of relations that has been established between people living in the fortress. The commandant's wife is in charge there, the military themselves are former peasants, and the absence of a military threat dictates a homely mood.

What are your impressions of each of the characters?

Reading the Fortress chapter, only good impressions remain about almost every hero. Here is the commandant Kuzmich, an experienced soldier who, in his old age, already wants peace. We also get to know his wife, who manages everything in the fortress. Her name is Vasilisa Egorovna. She is a clever, curious and even lively woman who skillfully managed the household. She was a pious, domineering person. Lives in the old style.

Masha is Kuzmich's daughter, a sweet girl, a little shy. Although she was not very smart, she was an honest and decent girl. Our hero falls in love with her.
In the third part, we also meet Shvabrin. Here it causes negative emotions, especially when you read Pushkin's work further. Shvabrin was a dishonest officer who could easily backstab. This is a person who can even slander, just to achieve his goals.

Summary of the fifth chapter of the work "The Captain's Daughter" Summary - Analysis of the fourth chapter of the work "The Captain's Daughter"

Belgorod fortress and service in it

How historically truthful and romantically beautiful is A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter"

This work introduces us to a real Russian nobleman and hereditary officer Pyotr Andreyevich Grinev, who showed an example of true nobility and patriotism.

When Peter matured, his father decides to assign him to the guards so that his son will serve in the army “like a real soldier.

Grinev's arrival at the Belogorsk fortress, where he was sent to serve, was very mundane and boring. Instead of imagining "formidable ramparts, towers and ramparts", he sees a small village surrounded by a log fence.

All the inhabitants of the fortress greeted Grinev in a friendly way, and the family of the commandant of the fortress, Captain Mironov, turned out to be very cordial and friendly at all and "treated him as if they had known each other for a century."

The day after his arrival, Pyotr Andreevich Grinev met another young officer, Alexei Ivanovich Shvabrin, "discharged here from the guards for a duel." They quickly get to know each other and become close. Shvabrin tells Grinev about all the inhabitants of the fortress, about the local orders and customs.

Soon there is a meeting between Grinev and Masha, the daughter of Captain Mironov.

A few weeks after arriving at the Belogorsk fortress, the service became for Pyotr Andreevich “not only tolerable, but even pleasant: in the commandant’s house he was received as a native, Masha stopped being shy, a desire for literature awakened in him ...”

Once Grinev "wrote a song", which he himself liked very much, and carried it to show it to Shvabrin. And he began to "mock him in the most caustic way," and, in addition, slandered Masha Mironova. There was a quarrel between the officers, which ended in a challenge to a duel.

This quarrel, like nothing else, reveals the human essence of each participant: for Shvabrin, it costs nothing to insult a girl, to discredit her; Grinev, as a noble and honest person, cannot stand slander and is ready to defend the honor of the innocent.

Despite all the efforts of the commandant Vasilisa Yegorovna to upset the duel and reconcile the opponents, the duel between the officers nevertheless took place.

Having seized the moment when Grinev looked back at the cry of his servant Savelich, Shvabrin stabs him in the shoulder, seriously injuring him. Only a dishonorable person could do such a thing, taking advantage of the opponent's vulnerability.

The wound turned out to be so serious that Grinev lay unconscious for five days, and the entire commandant's family nursed him.

After recovery, he confesses to Masha Mironova "his heartfelt inclination", reports this in a letter to his parents and looks forward to hearing from them.

Unfortunately, Pyotr Andreevich's father did not understand his feelings, but intended to get to his son "and teach him a lesson for leprosy, like a boy", meaning the duel that took place.

Grinev, as a person obedient to his parental will, honestly tells Masha about the "obstruction of their love" on the part of his parents.

The further stay of Pyotr Andreevich in the Belogorsk fortress becomes almost unbearable: he falls into gloomy thoughtfulness, loneliness and inactivity, his spirit is completely broken.

But the further denouement of events still connects the fate of Masha Mironova and Pyotr Grinev.

You read the lines of the novel about the time of Grinev's service in the Belogorsk fortress and as if you see its lights through the blizzard bad weather, where life flows calmly and measuredly, where simple and kind people are waiting for us, where the caring old people Mironovs hospitably meet everyone.

Chapter III. Fortress

What was the Belgorod fortress, the orders established in it?

The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low. People in the fortress are accustomed to the fact that active hostilities do not take place here, the service goes on calmly. Captain Mironov and Vasilisa Yegorovna, his wife, have been living here for many years. Vasilisa Egorovna takes part in all the affairs of her husband, the situation in the fortress is almost homely. This made a depressing impression on Grinev.

How to explain such a "family" nature of relations between people in the fortress?

This was due to the morals of the commandant of the fortress and his wife. These are people of the old way, they treated their subordinates without ceremony, and most of the soldiers were local residents. This was also determined by the fact that strict discipline was not required, since minor unrest of the Bashkirs was not dangerous.

Tell us about its inhabitants.

Ivan Kuzmich, the commandant of the fortress, and his wife, Vasilisa Yegorovna, show an example of the old patriarchal way of life. They live in perfect harmony, Vasilisa Egorovna supports her husband in everything, comments (not without a share of irony) on his actions, and gives advice. From her remarks, we learn that the captain "does not know" in the service, respectively, cannot teach his subordinates anything. Vasilisa Egorovna Shvabrin calls "a beautiful lady."

We learn about Shvabrin that he has been in the fortress for the fifth year, is here as a punishment for a duel that ended in death. Shvabrin tries to make friends with Grinev, he manages to do this. In this chapter, he is characterized as a witty, cheerful person.

Marya Ivanovna is the daughter of Captain Mironov. She is a pretty eighteen year old girl. It is not yet clear why Shvabrin, in a conversation with Grinev, described her as a fool. But the reader understands that she is sensitive (does not tolerate firing from cannons), brought up in the old traditions, not rich (the Mironovs are poor, but regret it only because it may prevent their daughter from getting married).

What is the meaning of the soldier's song, which is the epigraph to Chapter III?

Recall that the epigraph is one of the means of expressing the author's position. It is in the epigraphs that we guess the personality of A.S. Pushkin, as the narration is conducted on behalf of the protagonist. The author ironically uses the following epigraph: the Belgorod fortress bears little resemblance to a fortification, and “fierce enemies” have not yet been here. This brave song does not correspond to what is actually here.

The second quote from Fovizin's "Undergrowth" also sets the reader in an ironic mood: "strange people" in the sense that they are very far from the world, not developed properly, because they are far from the center of Russia, from large cities.

What are your impressions of each of the characters?

The characters are underrepresented. We have just started reading. But impressions about each of them have already developed.

Ivan Kuzmich Mironov is no longer a young commandant of the fortress, he does not keep a strict order, since, apparently, he considers it optional. He listens to his wife.

Vasilisa Egorovna is a very skillful housekeeper, she knows how to clearly and correctly organize life so that everyone feels at home. Interested in the fate of other people.

Marya Ivanovna is a modest, sweet girl who obeys her parents in everything, brought up in a patriarchal family, perceives her way of life as natural.

Shvabrin evoked an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, this is a cheerful, witty person. On the other hand, Grinev's remark that Shvabrin presented Masha as a complete fool is alarming. It can be assumed that Shvabrin has dark feelings and thoughts.

The Belogorsk fortress was a village lost in the steppe, surrounded by a tyn that had rotted in many places. The majority of the population consisted of disabled soldiers (a disabled person, that is, who had left military age, but remained in the ranks of the army) teams that made up a garrison of one hundred and thirty people, and Cossacks. Orders in the fortress were the most domestic - Vasilisa Yegorovna, the wife of the captain, was in charge of everything. To a large extent, this was due to the fact that both the soldiers and their commanders, except for Shvabrin, were themselves peasants, lived on subsistence farming, and there had never been a military threat as such. Peaceful uncomplicated life dictated its own rules of existence. Minor unrest of a few gangs of Bashkirs and Kirghiz were relatively harmless, and they had not been for many years. Most of the soldiers had already grown old in the service in Belogorskaya, their commander and his wife had lived there for twenty years.
Ivan Kuzmich was an old campaigner, stupid, but honest and kind. He became an officer from the children of soldiers and deep down he continued to be a soldier. His nobility (and only a nobleman could be an officer) was deprived of even that minimal aristocracy that Grinev's parents possessed. He sometimes recalled the service and tried to “teach” the soldiers, trying to explain to them where the right and where the left leg was, but his wife constantly pulled him up and, from the point of view of everyday life, was, as a rule, completely right.
Vasilisa Yegorovna was not a stupid woman, talkative and curious, like any brisk village woman who was forced to manage a large household, and she considered the whole fortress to be her household. She adored the news and everything that added variety to a boring life, tried to keep everything in her hands, which she succeeded in doing, since she was the commandant's wife. Of course, her horizons were minimal, and the fact that Grinev's father owned three hundred serfs made a deep impression on her, while it was a very small number of serf souls in Catherine's time.
Marya Ivanovna, their daughter, was a quiet, silent woman, easily embarrassed, but very sincere and sincere. She was a marriageable girl, but in such a wilderness it was not at all easy to meet an interesting person. Masha possessed great cordial sensitivity and intuitively could feel the qualities of a person, so she shunned Shvabrin.
Aleksey Ivanovich Shvabrin at first gave the impression of a witty and uninhibited person who knew the value of local secrets and good-naturedly teased them. Later it turns out that this impression is deceptive, and Shvabrin harbors a deep wound in his soul.
On the one hand, the soldier's song put in the epigraph sets the reader in a certain brave mood and tells what the chapter should be about, on the other hand, it is a kind of humor of the author. Indeed, the wooden fence around the village can hardly be called a "fortress". in the song it is sung about a cannon, and it seems that it is just about the cannon from the story, because it was the only noise. The quote from Fonvizin's "Undergrowth" orients just such a perception. It is the “old people” who turn out to be the inhabitants of the Belogorsk fortress cut off from the world.

The Belgorod fortress is a village surrounded by a log fence. Everything had a rather unattractive appearance: the streets were cramped and crooked, the huts were low.
