Hello dear friends, this is a podcast the life of the wonderful, i am with you, alexey varlamov, my guest is the famous tv presenter, journalist, fyokla tolstaya, and we will talk about the wonderful scientist, slavist, academician niki. And this is theklas father, yes, and i must say that thekla and i have known each other for a long time, and many times we have been in the opposite situation, when thekla asked questions and i answered, so today we are changing roles, and i am very interested in what kind of conversation we will have , especially since the topic is very expensive and very important. Nikita ilyach turns 100 this year, here we are lets talk about him as your father, as a wonderful. Scientist, as a person who once made an amazing impression on me, as on many students of the faculty of philology of moscow state university, because he was completely different, he was not looks like no one else, he has. His speech, his movement, his gestures, it was something completely incredible, what are your memories of your father . We must tell our viewers that my father has been gone for more than a quarter of a century. Unfortunately, he died in ninetysix, but really in on the twentythird we celebrate the centenary of his birth, i have memories, of course , very, very warm, homely, when you say that he was not like others, then a child, a daughter this does not understand and does not does not realizes, but ive always been a daddys girl, and maybe ill Say Something completely different, about philology, we ll talk about serious things later, it seems to me that what i. Schools, and he, by the way, starred in cinema, once, yes, yes, yes, he acted in films several times, once they were traveling with my mother in the subway to work, there, i dont know, from trityakovskoe to leninsky prospekt, and he was caught just in the subway, by the directors assistant, because of his big beard, oh, please tell me, do you have such a beard, and you dont want act in a movie, Something Like that, dad, which means hes going to some meeting of the presidium of the academy of sciences. Or Something Like that, he says well, what do you want, what is the actual proposal . Here we are looking for extras for the film by sergei fedovovich banderchuk, Boris Godunov. Well, okay , maybe that means dad was terribly happy, canceled all his Academic Affairs for several days, and stood as an extra in the film Boris Godunov in the coronation scene, which was filmed in zagorsk at the Trinity Lavra of sergeev, although the action takes place essentially, of course. If they called him from work or Something Like that, he says you dont say that im filming, you say that im very, very busy, so he was terribly interested in this, and he also didnt tell anyone there that he is an academician, no one knew, no, he didnt know, the only thing is that dad, that was also the end of the eighties of people who know Church Services well and behavior in general. That i remember very well how my dad and i went to church, he took me, we, we, i wanted to say, lived, but we also live, continue to live on the ordynka and this is just such a zamoskvorechie, such a corner of moscow, where several more remained churches, and several churches were open, i remember i went to church during holy week, joy to all who mourn, and he stood there, nikita ilyevich was there for sure, and we went it was eightfour years ago. Was so his favorite holiday, he always took me, but i wanted to Say Something that still persisted, somehow he supported it, such an old moscow tradition that you go to church on easter, for the religious procession, at the beginning of the service, then we were there for some time, well, maybe not for long, because i was still a girl, then you return home and break your fast after fasting, then you go to some other church, then later. You go to visit one, another, or guests came to us, and this is such a night full, full on the one hand of some holiday and festive campaigns too. But i was very shocked by this story with the cinema, because i was just now preparing there , i read some memoirs about nikita ilych, a lot has been written, nothing is said about cinema, but this is exactly what you inherited, you after all, i also filmed, i started from this, that i had this kind of artistic beginning and i inherited a craving for this from my dad, and i acted as a child, i was also caught just by my dads beard, and someone came to me at school like that. And on the stairs, i remember lakhmaty, since then i always go to lakhmaty, and we ended up on my classmate and i, they put us on the cover of the leader magazine, then they came a second time some people from the gorky childrens film studio, again, so look, come to the girl here, we sent you and me to the file cabinet of this childrens gorky studio and then i starred in several films, and dad Something Like this, well, well that is, you starred earlier than dad. I filmed before my dad, yes, apparently he my childhood fame haunted me, but he also said that it was necessary, we had to act, you were acting, and i will act, i had an interesting story with this gorky studio, also connected with fat people, so i already had several films under my belt when i was, i dont know, 1314 years old, at that moment our famous great director gerasimov was filming a film by leo tolstoy. I come to gorkys studio, there are such old chairs, high, i sit down, and i see that makarova is doing makeup next to me, and i mean, a little im trembling, but some people are trying to trick me , i dont know that some bagels are coming here or something, auditions are starting, they have photographs, theyre all talking, theyre saying, oh my god, how similar, well, how similar, well, how did you find it like that, say the assistants, well, how similar, and my mother and i, i was still with my mother, it means that were not under age, we shake it like that, my greatgrandfathers sister, but still like some kind of. Then tolstoys blood, but they didnt understand that they were calling a person from the same family, so, but then events developed funny, that when it turned out that i was fat, all this meant somehow they became even more interested, then it turned out that my uncle, wonderful as i know, maybe. This is not true, but thats what they told me, wonderful ilya vladimirovich, read, wait uncle ilyusha, wrote a rather devastating review of gerasimovs script, in general, i didnt play alexander lvov, but somehow they preferred, yes, well, no, maybe i just played poorly at the audition, the same thing happens, well, now after all lets turn a little to history, come on, come on, lets figure it out, so nikita ilyich tolstoy, your father, right . This is how he relates to Lev Nikolaevich, because with fat people there it is very difficult to figure out who is who, yes, Lev Nikolaevich is the most large father in russian literature in such a Large Russian literature and to understand who is fat, here you are, you how fat they are, as my third cousin petya tolstoy says, you know leo tolstoy, so to speak, i mean the beard, then watch your hands, our line of russian fat people now comes from there arent many fat people in russia at all. Comes from the second son of leo nikolaevich and sofia andreevna, from ilya lvovich tolstoy. Yes. Ilya lvovich got married before his other children. The first granddaughter of Lev Nikolaevich is the daughter of ilya lvovich and sofia nikolaevna filosofova. And then they had a daughter, then four sons, then another girl and a boy , also quite a large family, well, in general, in those days it was not such a rarity. All four boys. It so happened, we ended up in military schools, in cadet corps, as it was called then, my grandfather studied in the naval cadet corps in petersburg, and there are wonderful photographs of his cadet, and even before the revolution, even before the revolution, as a young midshipman, he sailed on the aurora, it was a fairly modern ship, where he did his internship, probably its Something Like that among sailors, that is, he sailed, im also saying it wrong, i went to the aurora, heres some one. His service, first as a student, then he continued his real service, here is another who studied in moscow, in the cadet corps, the eldest of these from these four. Took part in the first world war, and then, when the civil war began, then all Four Brothers end up in the white army, three end up in the southern direction, and my grandfather, like a seaman, he makes his way to the east and joins kolchaks army, it turns out he was the personal of general capel, thats my father, when i got this. Stories , yes, my grandfather, it turns out that we dont have his memories, but we know that he took part in this siberian ice campaign, there was another ice campaign, thats when they, when they were 2,000 km, if im not mistaken , passed through the winter, and there is a story that he was taken out several times to be shot, once he escaped execution, as my father told me, by the fact that he had already been captured, which means they simply put him up against the wall, and then he. Probably believing that he was red, he believed that he was red, why who another may now take his life altogether, then he began to properly, well, its just like before death, everything he thinks about the reds is to say and cover them with good, good naval obscenities, then, that means, these who have become somehow we thought, maybe its still him, hes not communist, in general, by some miracle my grandfather managed to survive, although in the emigrant newspapers they already wrote that he was shot, then there was news that he died of typhoid, but still unconscious in the last ambulance train, he taken to china, somehow through, that means, chita, somewhere there, he, he ends up in china, in harbin, then in shanghai, then he begins to find out where his family is, and somehow i still i dont understand how they figured it out, he finds out that his family is in europe in. Immigration, i have to pause here, im telling you all this like this, you know cinema, and for me this is really cinema, and to be honest, i want to make a documentary in cinema, so my Third Brother volodya tolstoy, the grandson of another of those brothers whom i am talking about now, we want to make a film about the history of our grandfathers and about my father, which means the other three grandchildren of tolstoy, mikhail ilyich, Andrei Ilyich and vladimirich, find themselves moving in a southern direction and, unfortunately, here is one. Brother dies from typhus, and the other brother is already at perekop, which, which is on that isthmus that connects crimea to the mainland partly, when the reds are advancing, he stands up at full height above the trench and simply from some kind of revolver or something begins to shoot at pointblank range a chain of reds, which in general was suicide, it turns out to be such madness, yes, yes. But he also complained to me, i remember this very well, that he was not allowed to play in the yard with serbian boys until he was 5 years old, because he had to learn russian properly and. They named him nikita, and it was a conscious decision my grandfather, because he only wanted a russian name, which does not exist in others, in other slavic languages among the serbs. One more small detail about his baptism, that when they came to the Orthodox Church in serbia to baptize nikita, the priest refused to baptize nikita, because he didnt know any nikita, lets call him nikolai, lets call him whatever you want, but i will baptize as i know, as i know how. Grandfather reached some metropolitan, it means serbian, who said i know such a russian name, you can baptize nikita, so the enemies baptized him nikita. Then there is this one photograph of how my father sits with this, you see, now i wear it after the death of my father with such a tolstoy ring, where the coat of arms of the fat people is, that means, apparently he was allowed to wear this for the photograph, he sits very proudly like this, which means showing family, family. Tolstoy, and he studied in a russian gymnasium, i understand correctly, yes, they came to belgrade so that he could continue his education in a russian gymnasium, of course, it was also an amazing gymnasium, where many taught, it was in a Russian House or not, yes, that means, now, also in the year twentythree , the ninetieth anniversary of the Russian House is being celebrated, this is a house, just so to speak, a Russian House, which was built by russian architects, because there was a very large immigration, it is believed that the immigration is russian i was in serbia. Ends up in the soviet union and becomes a soviet student at moscow state university, and then with a soviet scientist and so on, but the most important thing between these two is the war, yes, this is the second world war, where nikita ilyich takes the most active part as a partisan, and then as a red army soldier, and these are some kind of complete paradoxes. Stories, yes, father, uncles, whites, he turns red, he said somewhere about himself that i am the only fat red army soldier, thats how it happened, well, its generally amazing, of course, such a historical turn that took place in our family , and this is a conversation not only about my father, and not only about my grandfather, his brother , these fat serbians, shuri about the russian emigration and the choices that they make already exactly, and this is also a conversation about the fact that they simply managed to somehow change their destiny, there was. Fat wild, there is something wild, this is very about our line of ilyaches, this is very, very suitable, im like that, i smile, and you approach, Lev Nikolaevich also wrote that you smile, because we imagine modern fat people , who would also be like that, and i, too, of course, can be wild and naughty. But thats not about that now, which means that in my opinion the bombing of belgrade began on april 6 , 1941, my father is still finishing, this is the last class of his gymnasium, there is a photograph of how. He stands in absolutely tattered rags, so thin as a stick, such a victim, because his first job was that before he even graduated from the gymnasium, he was sorting out rubble, he was carrying bricks to bombed houses in belgrade, they just somehow put it in order, i dont know, dismantled it, then they find themselves leaving belgrade, where there is already hunger, and come to vladimirovich tolstoy, who worked as an agronomist in the city of novy bichei on. In russia home, but i cant imagine imagine that the bolsheviks and i would be like bunin, have some kind of common cause, and he left when the germans were retreating, he went to paris, then went to america, our aunties live in america now, i think , that they were ready to cooperate with the red army when they remained, because the wonderful army was ready to cooperate with them, this is true, general, im afraid ill make a mistake in his last name, which is known to describe the meetings of his soviet general, the soviet general who their met, and which was for him its amazing that here in the serbian outback in the balkans two grandsons of tolstoy are doing, and apparently this conversation is very important, they are not just emigrants, not just whites, they are fat, and this immediately inspires trust, because no matter what the soviet regime was so harsh, but the thick one is the fat one, its true, and of course we understand that further i. His red army book is his first document in general, for the first time he found himself among russian people, not just emigrants. Here are the russian people, so to speak, the original and soviet, they became emigrants, there were almost numbers 001 and 002, there was a stalinist call for return, my grandfather had an id, a certificate of repatriation number 001, my grandmother had 002, my dad had 003, vladimir had 4, and so on and so forth, when they returned to the soviet union in august 1945, i found them at the dacha and couldnt understand what kind of. Shut up, shut up, yes, that is, they had to fit into this soviet reality, which is not at all the way they dreamed of her, yes, of course, and this this this the memory of oleg Oleg Vladimirovich tolstoy, who here, his son peter talks about this, and this probably largely determined their future lives. My father, at that moment, when they returned to russia, was still in the red army, but then he succeeded in september. Already to join, he received the appropriate permission to enter moscow university, that was also interesting, they accepted frontline soldiers without any exams, but he was a little late, he had to go to the rector of the university, thats interesting also that my father really wanted to study history, but my grandfather, understanding what the soviet union was all about, he said no, you cant study history, its too ideological a science. Yes, my father said well , you know how i love literature, how i love poetry. my father adored poetry, he simply had a brilliant knowledge of the poetry of the silver age, because all this was available in immigration, all these publications, both prerevolutionary and emigrant, he loved gumilyov as he did, he instilled this love in me, when this name was still just here its forbidden, to this my grandfather says no too, and this is not allowed, because its very ideological, well, okay, but at least i can use languages. Study, well, this is possible, yes, this was before, so he becomes a linguist, so he becomes a linguist, he speaks at the philological faculty, but he enters the slavic department, precisely because this is this idea of being russian and the idea to study the roots, but still of russian, slavic culture, he was very little interested in any german studies or romance, some french philosophy, absolutely, and this and this. This is very very clear from his biography of a child born in a foreign land, but still, of course, this is a brilliant choice of slavic studies, because he, he is belingua, complete, he is beautiful knows, he speaks serbian like russian, he studies bulgarian at the faculty of philology, he knows russian tradition, he writes works on the Old Church Slavonic language, his dissertation is devoted to the Old Church Slavonic language, he has made a brilliant scientific career, but he has never done. Party, he had a fairly free faculty, yes, he had the opportunity, he had balconistics at the institute of slavic studies, where he worked all his life, he had a group, which consisted mainly of his students, and in general dad created his own scientific, Scientific School and his own scientific direction, ethnolinguistics, but its interesting that he had a very broad outlook, that s exactly what he then. Began to deal with, this attitude to soviet life, soviet realities, so he was there to some extent disciplines, but what was it like for him after all , this is exactly such a junction of different different connected with dissidents or not at all, and what did he think about all this, i dont know there soldanitsien, shalamov, academician sakharov, somehow these appeared topics in the house, a dissident is a very active civic position, my fathers position was that he lived as if not noticing the soviet regime, but i
