Author of a fairy tale about Sagittarius. Online reading of a book about Fedot the Sagittarius, a daring fellow. Productions and film adaptations

For his acting work (in theater and cinema), for acting, for directing, Filatov in the 80s acquired authority, fame, honorary titles, prizes, and people's love. At the same time, the successful and famous artist always composed something (his poetic gift manifested itself in school). And in last years life, due to illness, he had to deal only with literature, and he did it fruitfully and seriously. L. Filatov wrote poems, songs (the “Orange Cat” series, songs for the plays “Clara Gazul Theater”, “Martin Eden”, “Once Upon a Time in California”, “Hercules and the Augean Stables”), plays (“About Fedot- Sagittarius daring fellow", "Robin Hood's Great Love", "Cuckoo Clock", "The Love of Three Oranges", "Lysistrata", "The Troublemaker", "Dangerous, Dangerous and Very Dangerous", "The Motley People", "The Artist of Sherwood Forest" "), parodies, scripts.

His special talent, incredible erudition, skillful use of the Russian word, the brightness of his characters, and high personal moral qualities brought him literary success. And if the screen image inevitably fades with each decade, then the poetic lines are imperishable, like all manuscripts. “In our writing country, they even write on the wall. So I came to want to be on an equal footing with everyone!” - Leonid Filatov himself joked. Let us dwell on only one direction of Leonid Filatov’s literary activity.

A satirist poet, he wrote parodies of many contemporary poets (the “Taganka-75” cycles, variations on the themes “Well, Just Wait” and “Mukhi-Tsokotuhi”). Subtle, precise, short, sharp images always hit the target and always corresponded to the prototype; his contemporaries admitted: “We laughed with pleasure at these parodies.” Leonid Alekseevich wrote a rather naturalistic “folk comedy in two parts on the themes of Aristophanes” “Lysistrata” (about the right of a woman, the daughter of Hellas, to a quiet family life with a non-combatant man, about the role of a woman in ending male strife and wars). And the play in verse “The Tale of Fedot the Archer, a Daring Young Man” - in anticipation of an interesting role.

If, for example, today the age restriction “18+” would probably be applied to “Lysistrata”, which is why this play did not receive proper distribution, even having an annual award literary magazine"October", then "The Tale of Fedot" would probably have had a "12+" restriction, which is why it became extremely popular. "The Tale" became famous instantly. The text was divided into quotes, the quotes "went to the people."

The brilliant work gave life to new bright heroes and new life familiar heroes, it sparkled with catchphrases and aphorisms. Ingenious play on words and inimitable vocabulary with image-shots, correct rhymes, original use of grammatical and phonetic rules (and often their violation), use of archaisms, swear words and jargon, use of a conversational style, at the same time unobtrusive inclusion of nationally marked words and expressions , satirical combination with modernity - this is what distinguishes “The Fairy Tale”. For all this, people loved her so much. The versatility of the “Fairy Tale” and its real national recognition begs for no less than a scientific analysis.

Filatov himself said in an interview: “I want to put in as much information as possible, including plot information, and if it also carries a cultural meaning, that’s generally wonderful. Sometimes I sit and try to cram as much information as possible into one stanza. It turns out very voluminous, you have to leave four lines instead of eight. And if you can write briefly and informatively, that’s it.”

Irony and satire at all times and in "The Tale of Fedot the Archer." Late version of the ending of "Fairy Tale"

“A wonderful, modern, ironic work. As far as the realities of our time are described there, such recognizable images,” the famous theater and film actor Daniil Spivakovsky said about “The Tale.” Actually, the heroes of the fairy tale are traditional fairy-tale heroes - the Tsar, the Princess, Baba Yaga, the buffoon-player, Fedot (Ivan the Fool), Marusya (Vasilisa the Wise or Vasilisa the Beautiful), two magical servants. And a play was written based on the Russian folk tale “Go there - I don’t know where, bring that - I don’t know what” (it was included in the collection “Russian Folk Tales” by A. N. Afanasyev, published in 1984-1985). Only the heroes are aware of modern technologies, achievements of science and art, and easily talk about historical events of the 20th century. Often this interweaving of eras looks truly comical in Filatov’s work. What else is so modern about a fairy tale?

Perhaps allegories, as in the fairy tale “How one man fed two generals” by M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin. After all, Filatov himself admitted: “Not so long ago I was irritable towards those around me, towards the system, towards everything that was around me.” True, he later wrote: “After what I had to go through, what I experienced, it all went somewhere, and I realized for myself that life is much brighter than I pictured it for myself.”

Perhaps the essence of the fairy tale is modern in its similarity with the meaning of the proverb “You can’t blame the mirror if you have a crooked face,” which N.V. Gogol noted much earlier as an epigraph to “The Inspector General.” In the last lifetime edition of “The Fairy Tale,” the author added to the overthrow of the tsar, his expulsion and a merry feast, a scene with the men in which they dreamed of further better life with the help of Tavo-what-cannot-be. But it turned out that the men’s dreams were very primitive - shag, a tobacco pouch, a bench, and another “cast” man dreamed of the death of his lucky neighbor Kolka. On the second visit, the men thought more seriously and asked for a sash, a lollipop and a bell for their hat, the fourth man again remembered Kolka. The third attempt to describe the dream came down to ice cream, sitr and pickle, and again curses on the neighbor Kolka. Thus, the people are unsightly described by Filatov - fools, petty people and envious people (perhaps such an ending was written by the author under the influence of the revelry of the early 90s). Sarcasm towards rulers and pity towards the people are the acute social themes of “Fairy Tales”, including modern ones.

Russian folk and literary tales

However, many folklore and literary tales ridicule the despotism and greed of rulers, the sycophancy and careerism of their assistants, the envy and stupidity of old women (stepmothers) and men, the anger of Baba Yaga, etc. The play about Fedot is similar in plots, characters, and meanings to the fairy tale “Fock of all Trades Doc” by Evgeny Permyak (1902-1982), folk tale“The Magic Ring” arranged (“Vanka the Good”) by Boris Shergin (1896-1973), Russian folk tale “The Flying Ship” from the collection by A.N. Afanasyev, Leo Tolstoy’s fairy tale “Worker Emelyan and the Empty Drum”, play by Evgeny Zamyatin “ Flea" (1925), etc. At any time, in any era, these heroes, these plots are understandable to us, they seem modern to us. And the author's style (which refers to literary fairy tales) complements our overall impression - we smile, we compare, we learn, we are educated, we assimilate our national code. Filatov's "Fairy Tale" undoubtedly corresponds to this genre.

A wave of fabulous creativity of “developed socialism”

In the 60-70s of the 20th century, a wave of ironic fairy-tale family animation arose in the USSR. In 1965, the cartoon “Vovka in the Far Far Away Kingdom” was created (directed by Boris Stepantsev, scripted by Vadim Korostylev). In 1972 - the cartoon “Foka the Jack of All Trades” (directed by Roman Davydov, scripted by Leonid Belokurov). In 1979 - the cartoon “The Magic Ring” (director Leonid Nosyrev, scriptwriters Boris Shergin, Yuri Koval, L. Nosyrev) and the cartoon “Flying Ship” (director Harry Bardin, scriptwriter Alexey Simukov). Of course, these are not all masterpieces of Soviet animation; these are film adaptations of the works mentioned above in connection with the study of L. Filatov’s work. His “The Tale of Fedot” was also filmed in 2008 (directed by Lyudmila Steblyanko, script by Leonid Filatov, Roman Smorodin, Lyudmila Steblyanko).

What brings them together? Musicality, brightness, comedy, refined phrases, catchphrases, aphorism, inclusion in modern times. So brilliant creative works loved by the people (both children and adults). For example, the cartoon “The Magic Ring” was viewed on the Internet on a well-known video resource more than two million times, “The Flying Ship” - almost one and a half million views, “Vovka in the Far Away Kingdom” - almost five million from one user and another four million from another. Well, our “Fairy Tale” is almost three million. Nowadays we expect “fun”, dynamism, and brightness from domestic and foreign animation works, but in the 60s such experiments were just beginning to be staged in animation. Time shows that neither the plots, nor the characters, nor their forms are outdated, but on the contrary, they have received multiple developments.

“The Tale of Fedot the Archer”: characters, their characteristics

The heroes of the “Fairy Tale” are quite in the spirit of our traditional perception. The buffoon (leader) is a storyteller. But Filatov’s is subjective, his judgments are diverse, he has a broad outlook for an amuse-bouche. Fedot (Fedot the Sagittarius, Foka, Ivan the Fool) is a hardworking, honest, kind man, ordinary. The tale notes (as in a dramatic work) the development of his self-awareness from a fool to a defender of the people. Marusya, Fedot's wife (Zabava, Marya the Artisan, Vasilisa the Wise) is simply a good housewife, a loving wife, a beauty, a spiritual support for her husband, a wise teller. The king - an image collected from several fairy tales (from "Phoki...", "The Flying Ship", "The Magic Ring") - is not smart, but not stupid either, demonstrates his power, but not everyone is afraid of him. The princess (the king's daughter, as in “The Magic Ring,” as in “Fock...”, like Zabava, but only with a different character) is capricious and capricious, but she is waiting for love, like all girls. The General (Polkan, Commandant, Duma clerk Empty Head) is a careerist who loves power and money, but is not devoid of sensitivity. Baba Yaga (a classic character, too comical, like the grandmothers Yozhki and Vodyanoy in “The Flying Ship”) is not scary, good-natured, peace-loving, but remembers her craft. Two fellows (Two from a casket, identical in appearance, from “Vovka in the Far Away Kingdom”) - magical servants ready to please their master. The ambassadors (as in “Fok…”) are completely unsightly, pretending to be important. And the nanny, a completely new character, who apparently finally answers the logical question of who is raising and looking after the widower’s daughter (her character is similar to Marimyana, the queen from the “Magic Ring”) - grumbling, rude, straightforward.

Did Filatov read these fairy tales, did he watch these cartoons? It seems that these works undoubtedly influenced his work. In addition, it is obvious that the general cultural upsurge in the country united, in one way or another, talented, serious, professional directors and screenwriters of that time.

Fairy tales and the Russian language. Filatov is a daring fellow.

Subtle, but very distinguishable images for the widest reader, difficult-to-understand phraseological units and complexly hidden meanings under the text - this is the calling card of Leonid Alekseevich and his “Tales of Fedot the Archer”. The simplest and most concise form expresses a clear moral in a very complex way. Determining why we understand everything so easily despite such complex authorial occasionalisms is an important and interesting task. The fantastic expression of dozens of meanings through ordinary Russian words with elements of play is a sign of talent, of the “intelligentsia” breed.

The originality of L. Filatov's linguistic personality, identifying the character and striking features of his idiostyle, specific features in the field of vocabulary and phraseology is the task of scientific research. Until now, “The Fairy Tale” attracts the interest of thousands of Russian people, is staged by creative teams, and remade for corporate stories. The plot of “The Fairy Tale” is not particularly intricate; there is reason to believe that the author’s main merit is the successful use of linguistic units in the so-called “Russian style.” This is the talent of the author, this is the secret of the success of the work. December 24, 2016 marks the 70th birthday of actor and writer L. Filatov. His linguistic personality is of considerable interest, including in folklore discourse. The researcher is faced with the task of finding out how modern Russian people perceive vocabulary in an archaic version, what other attractive features of L. Filatov’s language are noted in the work, what tendency can be traced in society in the use of words “antique”.

Modern life. Democracy and freedom of speech.

So, since 1985, “The Tale of Fedot” has been published and reprinted several times in various collections, until 2015. It is popular and relevant (let’s not be afraid of this word) to this day. Even M.S. Gorbachev often quoted Filatov’s “Fedot the Archer.” Gorbachev especially liked the phrase: “I spread butter on a sandwich, and immediately thought: “How are the people?” Moreover, the author of this satirical work and that president knew each other. “The Fairy Tale” is already 30 years old, presidents have changed in Russia, but even now any Russian person will smile (if not grin) at these lines. And there are an unprecedented number of such lines in “The Tale,” even very bold ones.

Alexander Mitta (Soviet and Russian film director, screenwriter, actor) said in an interview: “Leonid Alekseevich was not only a talented actor, but a very significant person. He was a very friendly, very active person, he was one of the brightest people I have met in my life... He was uncompromising in his work. He was burned out at work. This happened in his acting life, and in his poetic, and in his writing. His life was too stressful, but he couldn’t live any other way. Everyone loved him."

Leonid Filatov was both a poet and a citizen. Integrity and patriotism are his inalienable qualities.

Let's not argue - in Soviet times there were excesses and unnecessary prohibitions. Therefore, at that time, a person like Filatov could well write such lines not only specifically for films, but also in relation to life:

"...I won't compromise
For the sake of peace...
Sorry miss
Sorry miss
But I love freedom!..”

(“SORRY, MISS!..”, for the play “Martin Eden”, 1984)

“...With such an abundance of freedoms
You can literally live without worries,
And if you get tired of freedom -
You have the right to silently protest!”

(“SONG ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH”, for the film “The Trust That Broke”, 1988)

But everything is relative. It is unlikely that Leonid Alekseevich would now sing the praises of a developed civilized society...

About Fedot the Sagittarius
Fairy tale for the theater (Based on Russian folklore)
Buffoon-amusement

Believe it or not, but Fedot the Sagittarius lived in this world, a daring fellow. Fedot was neither handsome nor ugly, neither ruddy, nor pale, neither rich nor poor, neither scabbed nor brocade, but just like that. Fedot's service includes fishing and hunting. To the Tsar - game and fish, to Fedot - thank you. Guests in the palace are like seeds in a cucumber. One is from Sweden, another from Greece, the third from Hawaii - and give everyone something to eat! One - lobster, another - squid, the third - sardines, but there is only one earner! One day they give him an order: to appear at court at just light in the morning. The king looks like a morel, has a head as big as a fist, and there is an enormous amount of malice in him. He looks at Fedka like an ulcer man looks at a radish. Fedka's shirt got wet from fear, there was a pounding in his temples, a growling in his belly, and here, as they say, the beginning of a fairy tale...

Tsar
Come to us for morning pickle
The English ambassador arrived,
And in our house there are snacks -
Half a slice and a corn.
Get ready, brother, let's go
Bring us some food -
Capercaillie or partridge,
Al isho someone.
If you can't - who to blame? -
I must execute you.
State business -
Are you catching the thread?..
Fedot
There's something I don't understand
In my mind?..
Tea, I slurp cabbage soup without bast shoes,
I'm figuring out what's what.
It turns out that it's on me
All politics in the country:
I won’t get a partridge -
There will certainly be war.
So that the English ambassador
I wasn't angry from hunger -
I won't spare my head
I’ll provide the pickle!..
Buffoon-amusement

The king's word is harder than crackers. If he sends you to the bear, you will go to the bear, but where to go - you have to, Fedya! Or game and fish - or sword and rack. Fedot walked through a hundred forests, a hundred swamps, but all in vain - not a partridge, not a wood grouse! Tired, no urine, and it’s late at night. Even with an empty bag, it’s time to go home. Suddenly he sees a bird, a wood pigeon, sitting, not hiding, not afraid of a gun...

Fedot
This is misfortune, this is trouble,
There is no trace of game.
I'll shoot a pigeon
At least some kind of food!
But generally speaking,
Pigeons are scolded in vain.
Pigeon - if in gravy -
He is no worse than a wood grouse!..
Blueberry
You, Fedot, don’t touch me,
There's not a penny's benefit in this, -
And you can't fill the pan,
And you can't stuff the pillow.
Tea, overseas gentleman
Loves fresh galantine
What kind of meat is there in me?
So, no meat, just laughter!..
Fedot
Is the devil now zealous?
Is the air drunk now?
Maybe something happened in my ear?
What flaw do I have?
Either from the royal windows
Such a law was announced
For the birds to talk
In human language?..
Blueberry
Don’t commit robbery, Fedot,
And take me with you.
How will you bring me into the light
I will become your destiny.
I will sew, wash, cook,
Don’t reproach for insults,
And play the violin for you,
And kill the bugs for you!..
Fedot
What kind of parable is this - I don’t understand?..
Okay, get into my bag!..
There, on the spot, we'll figure it out,
Who's going where and what's what!
Buffoon-amusement

Fedot brought the little turtledove to his place, which means he went to the little mountain. He sits sadly, hanging his head. And there are serious reasons for the sadness. Our Fedot's hunt did not go well. But the tsar doesn’t like to joke - he’ll chop your head off at once. Fedot sits, sad, and says goodbye to the white light. I remembered about the bird, the forest pigeon. Lo and behold, in the middle of the hill, instead of that turtle dove, there stands a beautiful maiden, slender as a tree!..

Marusya
Hello, Fedya!.. You and me -
We are now one family.
I am your wife, Marusya,
I am your wife.
Why are you silent, dear friend Fedot,
How can you get water into your mouth?..
It’s not the same kokoshnik I’m wearing,
Is the outfit I’m wearing wrong?..
Fedot
To you, my soul,
A century would look without breathing,
Just to become your husband
There's no chance for me!..
I was there - just before dawn -
At a reception with the king,
Well, the king gave me a task
I mean, it means wood grouse.
Even though it’s not the season for game -
There is no reason to argue with the authorities:
Okay, I think I'll get it
Tea, capercaillie, not bison.
I walked all day
And good luck - at least a shadow:
Not a single serious bird
Everything is complete rubbish!..
And now, my dear friend,
No time for dancing on the meadow -
Tomorrow the king will take care of this matter
He'll chop my head off.
And I'm useless like that
Neither at work, nor at home,
Because my whole point
Exclusively in the mind!..
Marusya
Don't freak out and don't whine!
There will be a table and there will be game!
Well, stand in front of me,
Titus Kuzmich and Frol Fomich!
(Marusya claps her hands - two strapping young men appear)

If you understand the order -
Do it now!
Well done
Don't hesitate,
Tea, this is not the first time!..
Buffoon-amusement

And the king and the ambassador are already sitting at the table. It's nearby - look at it! - princess and nanny. And everyone is waiting for the promised food from Fedya. What's a conversation without a hearty lunch? And the table is empty: carrots and cabbage, dill and parsley - that’s the whole feast. The guest is bored, shakes his boots, examines the holes in the tablecloth. The Tsar is angry and does not notice how he calls Fedka after his mother. Suddenly - as if from heaven: a loaf of bread, a badey caviar, stewed turkey, sterlet fish soup, veal offal - and there are thousands of names for such food! With such food - how can there not be a conversation!..

Tsar
Causes antiresis
Your technical progress:
How do you sow rutabaga there?
With or without peel?..
Ambassador
Yes!
Tsar
Causes antiresis
Your nutritional process:
How do you drink kakava there?
With or without saccharin?..
Ambassador
Yes!
Tsar
Causes antiresis
And this is the cut:
How do your women walk there?
With or without trousers?
Ambassador
Yes!
Nurse
I would have been embarrassed to even send an ambassador!..
Has his head completely weakened?..
No matter what they say -
Anything will lead to women!
Tsar
Are you playing your tune again?
I'll go to jail, keep that in mind!
I'm not just babbling,
I'm conducting politics!
The Avon girl has grown up,
And then, like half an oar!
So I’m thinking about how to give it away
Our steal for the ambassador!
Just need some benefit
To lure him without being angry -
Make subtle hints
Unsurprisingly and from afar.
Nurse
Yes for this ambassador
Even I wouldn’t go, -
So he glares, the bastard,
What to clean off the table!
He always “Yes” and “Yes” to you,
Meanwhile, he eats and eats everything.
Turn away - he's half the race
Swallow it in one sitting!
Tsar
Ali sew your mouth shut,
I'll kick Ali out!
You've already given me away
All overseas attaches!
Once upon a time there was a Spanish grandee,
What a dandy, what a dandy!
There's a diamond in each ear -
Why isn't that an option for you?
You set it up so that the guest
I accidentally sat on a nail,
And I left the guest -
Political anger!..
Nurse
Why, I remember!.. This grand
Was to devour great talent:
He got his head into the plate,
The bow was already stained with grease!
Why don’t you ask the grandee -
He's like a butt - "si" and "si"
Well, everything comes together
On to the herring!
Tsar
I'm behind your line
I'll rot you to the core!
I'm not joking with you
I'm serious!
From Germany Baron
He was good from all sides
I couldn’t resist even here -
Damaged him.
Who's at the bottom of the bucket?
Threw a dead mouse?
You're a real pest,
Damned soul!..
Nurse
Yes, this is your baron
The crack was pretty good!
Throw him into the flock of crows -
He will take it from the crows too.
Proud in appearance - “I-a” and “I-a”,
And gluttonous like a pig,
Give straw - he will eat straw,
Tea, someone else’s, not our own!..
Tsar
Well, spy, give me time -
I'll throw you in prison!
Well, I'm not an angry guy,
But he is strict with pests.
So answer me - don’t waste words!
Where can a princess get a husband?
Tea, you fool, you see -
She has no army of suitors!
If only a regiment were crowded here -
There would be some point in bickering,
Well, no

Year of writing: Publication:

« The tale of Fedot the Sagittarius, a daring fellow" - a fairy tale in verse, the most famous poetic work of Leonid Filatov. Written in 1985, first published in the magazine “Youth” in 1987. The work immediately gained enormous popularity. Usage fairy tale characters combined with Filatov’s bright speech and harsh satirical remarks contributed to unprecedented success.

“In our writing country, they even write on the wall. So I came to want to be on an equal footing with everyone!”- Leonid Filatov once explained in a humorous interview why he suddenly went and composed “About Fedot”. This work has become a real folk tale. It spread with catchphrases that people often utter without even knowing that they are quoting Filatov.

Heroes and plot

The plot of the work is traditional for many Russian folk tales: the king, wanting to destroy the archer and marry his wife, comes up with tests for the hero. The last test is the impossible task of bringing “something that cannot possibly exist in this world.” The successful hero's solution to this riddle leads the king to lose his throne.

The traditional heroes of the work are the Tsar, the Commandant (Filatov’s General), Fedot the Archer, his Wife (Marusya), Baba Yaga, Well done Helpers (Tit Kuzmich and Frol Fomich), matchmaker Naum (The Voice, or To-Faq-Not- May be). In addition to the heroes of the source fairy tale, Leonid Filatov introduces the Princess and the Nanny into the story.

The characters' personalities are very diverse. Titus Kuzmich and Frol Fomich are two male assistants who carry out all of Marusya’s instructions (“Don’t hesitate, this is not the first time this has happened…”). And they do it quickly and efficiently. The Tsar is an old ladies' man trying to woo Fedot's young wife, the Nanny is a grumbler and a stingy woman, the General is an executive fool, Baba Yaga is a vile swindler. That-which-actually-cannot-exist-at all (Voice) - a lack of initiative, naive good-natured person (“I’ve been standing here at the edge of the village for a long time, waiting for you to finish your meeting”), Marusya - helpful and wise wife (“I will sew, wash, cook, not reproach you for insults, and play the violin for you, and kill bedbugs for you...”), Fedot is a hero who knows his worth (“As for the mind, he is very intact”). Among all this farce, the “fool” narrator looks no less grotesque, anticipating all possible accusations: “I wish I could catch the fool and give him a blow. But there is no way. After all, the narrator is a fool. And since time immemorial we have not had a court for fools.”

Productions and film adaptations

Based on this work, many performances were staged in various theaters in Russia and the CIS, and films were also made. In 1988, a television play was filmed about Fedot the Sagittarius, a daring fellow, in which Leonid Filatov starred in the genre of a one-man theater.

In 2002, an audio play was released as part of the Leonid Filatov Theater project. This rare audio version of the famous fairy tale as read by the most popular theater and film actors was published back in 1988, but, unfortunately, is unknown to most listeners. Fedot - Alexey Zharkov, Tsar - Evgeny Evstigneev, Nanny - Tatyana Peltzer, General - Leonid Markov, Baba Yaga - Liya Akhedzhakova, Buffoon - Alexander Filippenko.

In 2011, the premiere of the play of the same name, directed by Yuri Tomoshevsky, took place within the walls of the State Philharmonic of St. Petersburg for children and youth. The performance is full of wonderful choreographic and musical numbers that create an atmosphere of a light, ironic story. The social and philosophical meaning of the work is not only not lost, but becomes clearer thanks to the contrast of the serious and the funny.

Fedot walked through a hundred forests, a hundred swamps, but all in vain - not a partridge, not a wood grouse! Tired, no urine, and it’s late at night. Even with an empty bag, it’s time to go home. Suddenly he sees a bird, a forest pigeon, sitting, not hiding, not afraid of a gun...

Fedot

This is misfortune, this is trouble,
There is no trace of game.
I'll shoot a pigeon
At least some kind of food!

But generally speaking,
Pigeons are scolded in vain.
Pigeon - if in gravy -
He is no worse than a wood grouse!..

Blueberry

You, Fedot, don’t touch me,
There's not a penny's benefit in this, -
And you can't fill the pan,
And you can't stuff the pillow.

Tea, overseas gentleman
Loves fresh galantine
What kind of meat is there in me?
So, no meat, just laughter!..

Fedot

Is the devil now zealous?
Is the air drunk now?
Maybe something happened in my ear?
What flaw do I have?

Either from the royal windows
Such a law was announced
For the birds to talk
In human language?..

Blueberry

Don’t commit robbery, Fedot,
And take me with you.
How will you bring me into the light
I will become your destiny.

I will sew, wash, cook,
Don’t reproach for insults,
And play the violin for you,
And kill the bugs for you!..

Fedot

What kind of parable is this - I don’t understand?..
Okay, get into my bag!..
There, on the spot, we'll figure it out,
Who's going where and what's what!

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot brought the little turtledove to his place, which means he went to the little mountain. He sits sadly, hanging his head. And there are serious reasons for the sadness. Our Fedot's hunt did not go well. But the tsar doesn’t like to joke - he’ll chop your head off at once. Fedot sits, sad, and says goodbye to the white light. I remembered about the bird, the forest pigeon. Lo and behold, in the middle of the hill, instead of that turtle dove, there stands a beautiful maiden, slender as a tree!..

Marusya

Hello, Fedya!.. You and me -
We are now one family.

I am your wife, Marusya,
I am your wife.

Why are you silent, dear friend Fedot,
How can you get water into your mouth?..
It’s not the same kokoshnik I’m wearing,
Is the outfit I’m wearing wrong?..

Fedot

To you, my soul,
A century would look without breathing,
Just to become your husband
There's no chance for me!..

I was there - just before dawn -
At a reception with the king,
Well, the king gave me a task
I mean, it means wood grouse.

Even though it’s not the season for game -
There is no reason to argue with the authorities:
Okay, I think I'll get it
Tea, capercaillie, not bison.

I walked all day
And good luck - at least a shadow:
Not a single serious bird
Everything is complete rubbish!..

And now, my dear friend,
No time for dancing on the meadow -
Tomorrow the king will take care of this matter
He'll chop my head off.

And I'm useless like that
Neither at work, nor at home,
Because my whole point
Exclusively in the mind!..

Marusya

Don't freak out and don't whine!
There will be a table and there will be game!
Well, stand in front of me,
Titus Kuzmich and Frol Fomich!

(Marusya claps her hands - two strapping young men appear)

If you understand the order -
Do it now!

Well done

Don't hesitate,
Tea, this is not the first time!..

Buffoon-amusement

And the king and the ambassador are already sitting at the table. It's nearby - look at it! - princess and nanny. And everyone is waiting for the promised food from Fedya. What's a conversation without a hearty lunch? And the table is empty: carrots and cabbage, dill and parsley - that’s the whole feast. The guest is bored, shakes his boots, examines the holes in the tablecloth. The Tsar is angry and does not notice how he calls Fedka after his mother. Suddenly - as if from heaven: a loaf of bread, a badey caviar, stewed turkey, sterlet fish soup, veal offal - and there are thousands of names for such food! With such food - how can there not be a conversation!..

Tsar

Causes antiresis
Your technical progress:
How do you sow rutabaga there?
With or without peel?..

Ambassador

Tsar

Causes antiresis
Your nutritional process:
How do you drink kakava there?
With or without saccharin?..

Ambassador

Tsar

Causes antiresis
And this is the cut:
How do your women walk there?
With or without trousers?

Ambassador

Nurse

I would have been embarrassed to even send an ambassador!..
Has his head completely weakened?..
No matter what they say -
Anything will lead to women!

Tsar

Are you playing your tune again?
I'll go to jail, keep that in mind!
I'm not just babbling,
I'm conducting politics!

The Avon girl has grown up,
And then, like half an oar!
So I’m thinking about how to give it away
Our steal for the ambassador!

Just need some benefit
To lure him without being angry -
Make subtle hints
Unsurprisingly and from afar.

Nurse

Yes for this ambassador
Even I wouldn’t go, -
So he glares, the bastard,
What to clean off the table!

He always “Yes” and “Yes” to you,
Meanwhile, he eats and eats everything.
Turn away - he's half the race
Swallow it in one sitting!

Tsar

Ali sew your mouth shut,
I'll kick Ali out!
You've already given me away
All overseas attaches!

Once upon a time there was a Spanish grandee,
What a dandy, what a dandy!
There's a diamond in each ear -
Why isn't that an option for you?

You set it up so that the guest
I accidentally sat on a nail,
And I left the guest -
Political anger!..

Nurse

Why, I remember!.. This grand
Was to devour great talent:
He got his head into the plate,
The bow was already stained with grease!

Why don’t you ask the grandee -
He's like a butt - "si" and "si"
Well, everything comes together
On to the herring!

Tsar

I'm behind your line
I'll rot you to the core!
I'm not joking with you
I'm serious!

From Germany Baron
He was good from all sides
I couldn’t resist even here -
Damaged him.

Who's at the bottom of the bucket?
Threw a dead mouse?
You're a real pest,
Damned soul!..

Nurse

Yes, this is your baron
The crack was pretty good!
Throw him into the flock of crows -
He will take it from the crows too.

Proud in appearance - “I-a” and “I-a”,
And gluttonous like a pig,
Give straw - he will eat straw,
Tea, someone else’s, not our own!..

Tsar

Well, spy, give me time -
I'll throw you in prison!
Well, I'm not an angry guy,
But he is strict with pests.

So answer me - don’t waste words!
Where can a princess get a husband?
Tea, you fool, you see -
She has no army of suitors!

If only a regiment were crowded here -
There would be some point in bickering,
Well, no - grab anyone,
Even if he were a Bryansk wolf!..

Princess

If you are in power in the race,
So, rule the race to your heart’s content,
Don't meddle in my destiny
And don’t interfere with my love!

In the house of the entih attache
A hundred pieces per floor,
I need their cologne
I can’t breathe anymore!..

Tsar

If love is truly evil,
You'll love the ambassador too.
And at the same time you will correct me
And trade matters.

I'm under this antires
I'll melt hemp and wood for them,
All honesty agrees,
Only you are going against it!..

Princess

No matter how much you frown -
I repeat again and again:
The individual has the right
For free love!

Maybe it's finally done
And it would come to the rings, -
If only he suddenly wooed me
Your Fedotushko the Sagittarius!..

Tsar

Tsk, you fool!.. Shut up!..
Test place by the oven!
Come on, go to your room
And learn solfege!

And the damned archer,
Insolent and scoundrel,
I'm using whips and batogs
I’ll run away from the palace right away!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king had a general who was collecting information. He will hide his face in his beard and wander around the city. Sniffs, a dog, thinking differently. He overhears conversations: what if there are conspirators in the country? Wherever he hears the FAQ, he will write it down in a book. And at seven o'clock exactly - to the Tsar for a report.

Tsar

Why are you sad, general?
Ali fell ill with measles,
Ali got drunk on his mash,
Did Ali lose at cards?

Ali service is not nice,
Ali's army is small,
Ali found in the cannon
Barrel damage?

Report without any lies,
Why is there darkness in my heart, -
I would like to know in detail
Who, where, FAQ and how!..

General

I was with the archer a while ago,
At Fedot the daredevil,
How I saw his wife -
So he jumped off the porch.

Third day - I'm not lying to her! -
I don’t take the saber in my hands,
And such dreaminess
Look, I'll die!

And the other day there was a sin -
I almost made up a poem,
The doctors got scared
They say: love shock!..

Tsar

The archer passed me!..
But he knew that I was a widower!
Well, I'll steal the ent in a moment
Deliver me to the palace!

And the insidious archer
Wipe it off your face this very moment,
So that he doesn't wipe himself off
Near our porch!..

General

Snatching her is not difficult,
Yes, the people are painfully cool:
How will they find out whose idea it is, -
They'll grind you into powder!

The people have become daring now,
Don't put your finger in their mouth -
We do not favor Fedot,
But the people are the opposite!

Tsar

You are such a fool
On Saturdays or what?
I owe something to the minister
Should I explain such a trifle?

To say something bad about the king
People didn't talk in vain,
Act strictly according to the law
That is, act... quietly.

Well, I’m already here -
I will reward you for your work:
The blacksmiths were given a task -
The order will be forged by tomorrow!..

Buffoon-amusement

The general spent the whole day gathering his wits. I kept thinking in the sweat of my brow - how to get rid of Sagittarius. Yes, the thoughts in my head turned sour from tension. In my spare time I remembered my old friend, Baba Yaga the Bone Leg. I’ll go see her, she’s smarter!.. And that middle of the oak grove collects herbs, cooks all sorts of poisons. When I saw the general, I lost all the herbariums. I miss you in the wilderness without a soul mate!..

Baba Yaga

You chavoy are not yourself,
Not rosy, not alive!..
Ali is a Swede near St. Petersburg,
Is he a Turk near Moscow?..

Eat aspen bark -
And you will cheer up for the time being:
Tea, not some kind of chemistry,
Tea, natural gifts!

In her juice, general,
There is a useful mineral -
From him from the generals
Not one died!..

General

That's enough, grandma!.. I'm not sick!..
Let's go over the hill!..
Make the hedgehogs and squirrels laugh,
There is a serious conversation.

Here we have one archer -
Extremely literate, bastard!..
So I got a task
Completely destroy him!

But how? Cut off the head -
Then the rumor will begin to sound!..
Can you give me some advice?
What is the smartest way to ruin him?..

Baba Yaga

Conjure, woman, conjure, grandfather,
Three on the side - yours are not there,
Ace of diamonds, pine coffin,
Give me the answer about Sagittarius!

Since he is so zealous and quick,
What enters into an argument with the king, -
Let him get it by tomorrow
Gold embroidered carpet.

So that it is visible on it,
Like on a map, the whole country.
Well, if he doesn’t get it, -
That's a wine getter!..

General

Hey grandma! Oh yes special!
That's the end of the trouble!
At least take you out of the mortar -
Yes, the minister to the palace!

None of the Germans are at odds,
How far is it from trouble?
And with you I'm ready
Whether for reconnaissance or wherever!

I pay for good with good:
You want - a marten, you like - a beaver,
If you don't want it, I can use a coin,
Gold or silver!..

Baba Yaga

Enough, dove, don’t sin,
Take away your pennies, -
I'm not in it for the money,
I do this for the soul.

There will be a new trouble -
Hurry straight here.
Tea, and we are not animals in the forest,
Tea, we will always help!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king is calling the archer, a daring young man. Isho didn’t give the task, and he’s already angry in advance. He twists his hands, knocks his feet, rotates his eyes, in general, intimidates. He really wants to hurt Fedot so much that it hurts right in his bones!..

Tsar

Get a carpet by morning -
Gold embroidered pattern!..
State business -
Hurt yourself, but be kind!

So that it is visible on it,
Like on the map, the whole country,
Because I'm from the balcony
No fucking review!

You won’t find it, I want it frequently, -
I'll shorten it to the head,
I'll hand you over at dawn
Straight into the clutches of the executioner!

Prankster

Fedot came home, dumb from grief. He sat down in the corner, looking at the ceiling, his clear eyes clouded with tears. Manya calls for food, but he shakes his neck, doesn’t want anything, sulks and whines...

Marusya

Are you often angry like a hedgehog?
Do you often neither eat nor drink?
Ali's porridge is burnt,
Is the jelly bad?

Fedot

What kind of food is there!
The king is angry - it’s a real disaster!
No to this villain
No council, no court!

Get, screams, carpet,
Gold embroidered pattern
The width of the entire Race,
A hundred forests and a hundred lakes!..

Marusya

Don't freak out and don't whine!
Let the old bastard be angry!
Well, stand in front of me,
Tit Kuzmich and Frol Fomich!..

If you understand the order -
Do it now!

Well done

Don't hesitate,
Tea, it's not the first time!

Buffoon-amusement

The next morning Fedot is at the Tsar’s Gate. I came to the reception and received the carpet. Stands smiling, the guards are not afraid. The king was surprised and even choked on caviar. Anger wears on him, but doesn’t want to show it. He looks like he's happy!..

Fedot

Yesterday you asked for a carpet, -
Well, I pinned him down.
Everything is according to the agreement -
Both the drawing and the color.

All Raseyushka in full
Reflected on the carpet.
This carpet is a gift for you
My wife wove it!..

Tsar

Oh wow! Oh yeah, grab it!
How many people are you married to?
Ali you got married right away
Whole weaving mill?

You, Fedot, have a wife
Even though she’s smart, she’s still alone!
And to weave something like this overnight -
Their division is needed!..

Fedot

Isn't the carpet pleasing to the eye?
Is the pattern in the carpet wrong?
Well, I'll put it under his arm -
And the conversation is over!

So that your labors are not wasted,
I will sell it to merchants,
And let him leave Russia
Sails to Amsterdam!..

Tsar

I would like to beat you with whips,
Four or five
So that you don't get rid of yourself
Over serious people!

But since I'm calm
I honor order and law, -
Here's a nickel for vodka
And he got out of here!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king is calling the general, a pin in his visor! The king's face looks like a beet, and when he is red, he looks dangerous. It hits, the infection, no more than once, but it doesn’t miss the eye. The general tested this on himself: from the beginning of the fairy tale he has been walking around in a bandage!..

Tsar

Well, bro, what's the result?
Are you a little confused?
Only this one will pull a little
About five years!

You are broad in our shoulders,
And my head completely withered away.
Here's how you can fix your mind
At state-owned grub!..

General

Throw me in prison
For any period of time -
All this is science
It won't do any good for me, the fool!

I would like a saber and a horse -
Yes to the line of fire!
And palace intrigues -
It's not all about me!

Tsar

You tell me, your honor,
Stop the heat and flog it!
You figure out how to do it without a saber
We must defeat Fedot!

Well, you'll be a fool -
Do not look for guilt in anyone:
I'll clean your snout
Personally with this fist!..

Buffoon-amusement

It was in vain that the general rubbed his hands: the raid failed to kill Fedot. Again the poor guy's head is tense. And in my head - listen! - well, at least there’s a thought! I thought and thought, but I couldn’t think of anything. No matter how you twist it, you can’t do without Yaga! I went back into the oak grove to look for justice against Fedka!..

Baba Yaga

Are you gloomy again?
What is the reason, who is to blame?
Al the Spanish races,
Al the Frenchman went to war?

This is jelly made from mold!
Have you tried tea yet?
Just drink it and you’ll immediately forget
About the worldly carousel!

It doesn't taste that good
But it takes away the trembling,
You'll be healthy by tomorrow
Unless you die!..

General

I'm talking about Sagittarius again!
There is no end to my troubles!
That's why I'm sick
That's why I fell off my face.

What a scoundrel, cunning -
He wiped everyone's noses!
No matter how much you conjure here,
And he got that carpet!

Even though he looks like a simpleton,
And the head is a master at cooking,
So from now on, cast your magic more seriously,
With feeling, so please!

Baba Yaga

Conjure, woman, conjure, grandfather,
Three on the side - yours are not there,
Ace of diamonds, pine coffin,
Give me the answer about Sagittarius!

So!.. Hey!.. Uh-huh!.. Aha!..
This is what Yaga found out:
Let him find you a deer,
So that horns are made of gold!..

Search the whole wide world -
There are no such things in nature!
This is me for you, my dear,
I speak as a local historian!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king is calling the archer, a daring young man. Before our Fedot had time to wipe the sweat from his face, the villainous king had a new idea. The Tsar is seething with ideas, and Fedka is sweating! In general, Fedka’s life is worse than a bitter radish!..

Tsar

Come on, throw off the blues and laziness
And - on the road this very day!
State business -
I desperately need a deer!

If you are the king's servant -
Go beyond the mountains, beyond the meadows
And find me a deer there,
So that the horns are made of gold.

Don't talk and don't argue,
And go and provide
Otherwise you’ll find out the moment
How your head falls off your shoulders!..

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot came home, his snot was a fringe! He sat down in front of the torch, hugging the torch. His beautiful wife throws herself on her neck, but he doesn’t even touch his wife! He sits and cries, which means he’s grieving!..

Marusya

Are you looking like an owl?
What are you fussing about?
There's not enough salt in the hodgepodge,
Is the steak under-seasoned?

Fedot

What a lunch!
The king tortured me - I won’t save you!
I'll have to again in the morning
To answer to him!

This king is a fierce enemy -
Sends me on the run again:
Find, shouts, a deer,
So that horns are made of gold!..

Marusya

Don't freak out and don't whine!
There are sorrows and more!
Well, stand in front of me,
Titus Kuzmich and Frol Fomich!

(Marusya claps her hands - two strapping young men appear.)

If you understand the order -
Do it now!

Well done

Don't hesitate -
Tea, this is not the first time!..

Buffoon-amusement

Just after light Fedot is at the Tsar's Gate. I came to the reception, and the deer was there. The king's left side stabbed with anger. I would crush the nit, but I don’t show it. He sits, yawns, and hides his anger!..

Fedot

Have you been waiting for tea? Good afternoon
Look out the window when you're not lazy!
You ordered a deer -
Well, here's a deer for you!

And - mind you! - horns on it
So they breathe fire,
From him without any lamp
At night it is as bright as day!..

Tsar

Those deer - don't lie! -
None in Tula or Tver.
What's in Tver - in Baghdad itself
There are at most three of them!

Now think about it, soldier, -
Where is Moscow and where is Baghdad!
Ali, you got away overnight
To Baghdad and back?..

Fedot

Come on, you are a vigorous louse!
And the deer is not good for you?
And yesterday I tore my soul:
Take out the deer and put it down!..

If you are already rich, -
I will return him to Baghdad.
Who's in power there? -
The guy will be happy!..

Tsar

Fedka, give it to me
Or you will be separated from your head!
I see your hints
Exclusively through and through!

Oh well, for the prestige
Can't you forgive the devil!
Here's a nickel for vodka
And go wherever you want!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king calls the general - right from under the blanket. The general is in a panic, looking for his underpants, he understands that they are not calling for gingerbread! The king sits on the throne - he is angry with the whole world. Black with anger, like a raven in a churchyard!..

Tsar

No matter how hard you fought, my dear, -
Fedot didn’t get caught in the snare!
Already written about you
Fictional obituary.

You just need to decide
How can you decide better:
Stun with a candelabra
Should I suffocate with a pillow?..

General

I made a mistake, sir!
Here's that saber, hit it if you want!
Only more so Fedot
My brains are not turpentine!

What a fool - don’t blame me!
I have a different essence!
I would like to attack somewhere.
Al go for an assault somewhere!..

Tsar

You are with a fighting sword,
Just remember this FAQ:
Fedot must be defeated
Not with a sword, but with your head!

Well, you will be just as fast,
How have you been until now, -
I love you, cow face,
I’ll put it under the ax myself!..

Buffoon-amusement

Our fool strained his mind again. And there was that mind - small bins. I thought and thought, but I couldn’t think of anything. He whistled for a horde of dogs - and to Yaga in the oak grove. When she saw the general, she ran all the way to the Urals. Yes, she came to her senses and returned: no matter how worse things turned out!..

Baba Yaga

You chavoy are out of your mind!
There's a pimple on my lip!
Oh, you'll waste your health
In the political struggle!..

Try hare droppings!
He is vigorous! He'll get it!
And where honey is more healing,
Although it doesn't taste like honey.

Although it tastes cool,
And sometimes they die from it,
But which ones survive -
They live to old age!..

General

Grandma, don't mess with me!
Find ways!
Think of it like Fedot
Bring it to the grave!

No matter how hard you fought, Yaga,
But it didn’t work out at all!
Fedot got hold of a deer -
Precious horns!

Blow your head off
Yes, work your magic more carefully.
Our Sagittarius, as it turned out,
Don't be so crazy!..

Baba Yaga

Actually I'm cunning
In the sense of the meanness of the gut,
Yes, chavoy for me today
No magic in the morning!..

Everything stings and hurts,
And my chest is burning with fire!..
I have long suspected
I have encephalitis!..

Oh, chavoy, I feel bad!
Do you hear the crunch in your back?
In a word, since this is the case -
I'm actually on the bulletin!

General

If you get sick - no problem!
Eat the frog from the pond!
There is no more reliable medicine
Than the natural environment!

You're fooling me
We couldn't even think!
It's better to connect everything
Get to work!

And if you get into trouble -
I'll take the saber out of the scabbard!
Even though you are my friend,
And there must be order!..

Baba Yaga

Conjure, woman, conjure, grandfather,
Three on the side - yours are not there,
Ace of diamonds, pine coffin,
Give me the answer about Sagittarius!

Let Fedot show agility,
May he be able to get you
That-FAQ-In-the-White-World -
Actually-Cannot-Be!

Well, Fedot, now hold on!
The point is right, it seems!
This is exactly the task
You won't do it for the life of you!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king is calling the archer, a daring young man. Again an order of national importance. When will this torment end! Meanwhile, the fairy tale is far from ending!..

Tsar

Find out how to get me some
That-FAQ-Cannot-Be!
Write down your name
So as not to forget in a hurry!

If you don’t complete it by morning -
I'll grind you into powder,
Because your karachter
I haven't felt like it for a long time!

So there’s no point in pouting your lips,
Let's get on the road soon!
State business -
Are you getting the point?

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot came home - worse than death itself! White as chalk, his face was numb. I sat down by the window - there was a veil in my eyes. Manya rushed, but he paid zero attention!.. You will be sad if death is behind you!..

Marusya

Well, pour out your soul to me,
Are you so damn angry?
Al in Milanese salad
Not enough truffles?..

Fedot

I'm yours, Marus, menu
I really appreciate it
Only my life, Marusya,
Ruined in the bud!

What should I do? What do i do?..
How can I get rid of my trouble?
The king ordered me to deliver
That-FAQ-Cannot-Be!..

Marusya

Don't be sad and don't whine!
All you have to do is shout!
Well, stand in front of me,
Titus Kuzmich and Frol Fomich!

(Marusya claps her hands - two strapping young men appear.)

If you understand the order -
Do it now!

Pause.

Well done

We apologize, mistress,
This is not about us!

If only a diagram or drawing -
We would start a spin,
Well, search as much as you want,
You'll find the bald devil!

Where to look and how to get it
That-FAQ-Cannot-Be?
After all, he’s not in the world,
No matter how much you dig the ground!..

Marusya

Don’t blame me, dear friend Fedot,
My income is not great!
Know that it’s your destiny, my love,
Go hiking yourself!

Don't fornicate abroad
Keep yourself clean.
Don't interfere in conversations
And don’t make acquaintances!

Avoid empty troubles
Avoid crooked roads
Think more about health
Eat sour cream and cottage cheese!..

Fedot

You, Marus, don’t be afraid!
It will form, Marus!
I will fulfill the royal task -
And I’ll return safe!

Don't be sad without me!
Water your ficus more often!
If you want, play the balalaika,
Embroider on a hoop if you like!

Well, he’ll poke around like this,
Who will disturb your peace -
I don't need to teach you:
Frying pan at hand!..

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot left for an overseas campaign. When the general found out about it, he lost his last mind. Our cunning man runs to the king’s palace to report that the archer is finished. I already drilled a hole for the order, you fat mug!..

Tsar

Is the news good or bad, -
Report everything to me as it is!
Better bitter, but true
What a pleasant thing, but flattery!

Only if enta knows
It will happen again - God knows,
You are for such truth
You can sit down for ten years!..

General

I report: it’s just dawn
Fedka raised the anchors!
Thank God we got rid of it
From him, from the ghoul!

Tsar

Come on, nanny, come here,
Get to work -
Tear hair from crown
Those who are gray-haired.

And which ones are not gray-haired,
Comb them into rows.
Yes, take it easy with a comb,
I don’t have gardens there!..

Nurse

Why scratch it, old devil?
If he bakes a bald spot?!
You have a lot of hair here
We need to register!..

And why do you need it
At this age, wife?
After all, you, as a man,
I'm sorry, it's worthless!..

Tsar

Even though I have no hair,
And I have to get married!
The Shah of Persia is also bald,
And he has forty wives!

I just want one
Get yourself a wife!
Something I mean in an intimate sense
And I can’t handle one?..

Nurse

Apparently the Shah has
There is both strength and becoming,
And you, you dead cricket,
You can't see under the crown!

At your age
The strength is still not the same!
Would you take care of your health?
After all, you are over a hundred!..

Tsar

Eka importance - more than a hundred!
If only the blood was thick!
They say you are submissive to love
Everyone is literally of age!

So, nanny, like it or not,
And I’m good for business!
If everyone is submissive to love,
So I am submissive too!..

Nurse

You, my friend, are one of those husbands,
What is more harmless than snakes:
They scratch, but don't bite,
I wouldn't say it's the worst!

To steal someone else's woman,
You must have ardor and passion!
And your task now is
Don't go to the cemetery!..

Tsar (To the General)

Well, why are you silent?
Are you strumming medals?
Al, don’t you see how dirty they are?
State prestige?

The nanny bends me into an arc,
And the minister - not a guta!
You are our defense
So, fight back the enemy!..

General

Well, these are women's courts
There are always bad things about men!
Don't doubt yourself,
You are a lover anywhere!

Proud profile, firm step,
From behind - it's a clear check!
Just move the crown to one side
So that it doesn’t hang on your ears!..

Tsar (To the Nanny)

The minister is not my enemy,
I said everything as it is without lying,
But he is not a stupid man,
Don't look like he's a fool.

You are nothing but bedlam,
Shame on the king, embarrassment on the ambassadors!
I have been anti-resisting for a long time,
Aren't you sent to us?..

Don't spy and don't harm,
If you dare, look:
We're having a conversation with you
There will be a big one ahead!..

Buffoon-amusement

The king is going to Mana to pay attention. He himself sits in the carriage, stinking of decologne, behind the king the retinue is powdered and curled, behind the retinue there is a chest - kozinaki and hazelnuts. Everything is honorable - the king is going to his bride!..

Tsar

By order of the king
Fedka has left for the seas!
In general, I left him
Melted, to put it simply!

So as not to be poor alone, -
Become my wife!
What about the FAQ?.. I'm a distinguished man
And groovy affection!..

Marusya

Isho Fedot didn’t have time
Take a step from the gate,
And the crows have already flown
To Fedotov's garden!..

Tsar

Don't be a fool to me, girl!
They offer it - take it!
Tea, not for you every evening
Widow kings are walking!..

This very hour, I say,
Get ready for the altar!
Crazy with delight
Take a sniff of ammonia!

Marusya

You are better, sir,
Hit others!
My concern is to wait for Fedot
Yes, look at the calendar!

Tsar

Come on, girl, the rumors lie!
Waiting for Sagittarius is a waste of time.
He's in some Hong Kong
Eating some fruit mushroom!

You yourself, fool, weigh yourself:
He is there, and you are here!
There is no now Fedot,
Fedot was there, but he all came out!

Marusya

Even if you beat me with a whip,
Even cut me with a sword, -
All the same as your wife
I won't give a damn!

Tsar

You, Marus, don’t make me angry
And the conflict with me did not last long!
I'm leaving for Paris the other day
The guillotine has arrived!

In light of what I said -
Better be my wife!
I have nerves too,
I'm not made of steel either!

Marusya

Go away, hateful one, away
And I don’t mind being a husband!
If you don't leave, then I can
Help with a frying pan!

Tsar

Well, those at the door -
Get her into shackles quickly!
What kind of fashion is this -
Frying pans into kings!

You'll get hurt in prison -
And you will get better in your mind!
No matter how much you, girl, don’t hesitate,
Let's get married by winter!..

Marusya

Catch me, you idiot
It takes a lot of work!
Goodbye, my sieve friend,
Maybe we'll meet someday!..

(Marusya turns into a dove and flies away.)

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot swam for almost a year. I ate halva, ate persimmons - but kept my own in mind! Miracles in the world are like flies in a toilet, but the necessary miracle is not yet in sight. Fedot is worried - time is ticking! I decided without hysteria - I’ll go to America! Fedot floats among the endless waters, the sunset is ahead, the sunrise is behind. Suddenly, in the middle of the hike, the weather turned bad. There was no misfortune - and hello, the ship is a crap on you! - and fell into pieces!.. The thunderstorm subsided - Fedot opened his eyes: he was lying on the wave, completely unharmed. He sees the island sticking out like a float. I got to the shore, I thought - America. He took out the map, checked it - but no, not America! Buyan Island, damn it, maybe there’s some flaw in the map?! Fedot sits, hiccups, and takes in the situation...

Fedot

How much at the whim of the king
I did not sail overseas, -
I've never seen a lousier place
Frankly speaking!

Well, the island is just melancholy! -
All stone and sand.
And as long as the eye can see -
No river, no forest!

It wouldn't be a problem,
If only there was food here, -
If there were quinoa here,
If only quinoa would do!..

Who is hungry for food -
Let him come here:
I have plenty of food
I have her pounds!

For example, get
Rolls straight from the oven,
Here's a turkey roast
Here's a cherry plum compote!

Here are the sausages, here are the cheeses,
Here's half a centner of caviar,
Here are the Caribbean lobsters,
Here are the Don sturgeons!..

(Tables with food appear.)

Fedot

Do me the honor, master,
Show yourself what you are!
Somehow indecent for a guest
Drink and eat alone!

Tea, on your island
It's more fun to be bored together -
Where will we scatter the cards?
Let's pour a glass somewhere!..

I would be glad to have my portrait
It’s a secret for me too!
Sometimes I wonder myself
Either I exist or I don’t!..

I have countless worries:
There is food, but nothing to eat,
There is tobacco, but nothing to sniff,
There is a bench, but nothing to sit on!

So tired for a thousand years,
What is not the joy of white light!
I thought I would hang myself, -
Again, there is no neck!

Fedot

Oh yeah meeting! That is,
I managed to get you
That-FAQ-In-the-White-World -
Actually-Cannot-Be!

What, melancholy and moping,
To waste life in vain, -
Maybe you can swim with me
Before the Rasei king?..

Take a walk, freshen up,
Make friends with white light!
What is life without adventures?
Just horror, not life!..

I'm a helpful prospect
Never against!
I'm ready for the bees to enter the hive,
If only it were in colftiv!

Give the order - and no matter where,
At least for ore mining!
I'll work hard for nothing
No drinking and no food!

I'm good for any business,
I can enter any door
I'll get you whatever you want
Even a savvy louse!..

Fedot

Louse, of course it is, so?
Louse, it’s not bad either!
But on this insect
You won't get far!

Get me better fleet -
Either a boat or a raft,
Since you're so skilled
A polyglot in this matter!

By morning, around five o'clock,
We must be on our way,
Because we are in Russia
We're already tired of waiting, guess!..

Buffoon-amusement

Meanwhile, the king does not waste time - he receives the ambassador of the cannibal tribe. London-Paris have greased their skis, the Tsar is left with thinner ambassadors! The Tsar just jumps like a goat in front of the ambassador: they say, here’s your daughter, take her - and that’s it! You know, things are really bad, since it has come to such a disaster! Well, okay, it can be worse - as long as the girl is with her husband!..

Tsar

Good afternoon, happy hour!
We are glad to see you here!
Take gud, salaam alaikum,
Bona sir, you ist das!

Who are you from?.. How old are you?..
Are you married or not?
Would you like to join our fraulein?
Cock tete-a-tete?

Nurse

To whom are you, old demon,
Are you breeding politeness here?
Your ambassador, I'm sorry,
The third day is like falling off a palm tree!

If he was wearing at least a cap, -
It wouldn't be such an embarrassment
And from his clothes -
Nothing other than beads!..

Tsar

You are a spy, that's a fact!
No matter what you blurt out, everything is out of tune!
You are with everyone abroad
I lost contact!

I've been waiting for messengers for years,
And she is theirs - from Sentsy!
For whom then the princess?
Give it away in the end?

Nurse

Look at his face:
Ears apart, nose ring!
And the skin is all pockmarked,
Like a cuckoo's egg!..

Even I - FAQ to hide? -
I wouldn't go to bed with him!
Is it really our girl?
Give it for this?..

Tsar

When the chances are zero,
They are looking for gold in the ashes!
The girl also means faces
Far from creme brulee!

Anything will do for her now -
Whether hunchbacked or pockmarked,
Because they are pockmarked
They don't rush to us in droves!..

Nurse

Well, he's from wild places,
What he sees, he eats!
Do you remember the topaz vase?
He gobbled it up, Herod - here is the cross!

If only he had asked, the villain,
Salmon and milk mushrooms -
Well, he eats faq at random,
From porcelain to nails!

Tsar

Whatever he asks for, he is a guest!
Bring everything to him in handfuls!
Tea, we have no shortage
Neither in porcelain, nor in nails?

If he hates salmon,
Let him eat whatever he wants.
Look, on a full stomach
And he will seduce the princess!..

Nurse

Yes, ambassadors - at least give them poison! -
They'll eat everything for free!
Maybe he's safe
But let them follow him!

You tell him as father-in-law:
Eat, they say, everything, but know, they say, honor!
Because he's in the heat of the moment
And he can eat the princess!

Princess

So that you can go out into the world with something like this?
Well, pipes!.. Well, no!..
He's already unprepossessing,
Duck isho and a cannibal!..

Let him go, he's a troglodyte,
It will make me all rich, -
No reciprocal passion
He won't turn me on!

Tsar

Call back the ambassador
Yes, stay with him vis-a-vis,
And you will endure a little -
There it will come to love!

If this entot is a troglodyte
He will see your appearance, -
He will forever lose
Appetite for cannibalism!..

Princess

No matter how much you moan, dad,
The right to choose is mine!
I'll poison myself, but I won't
A cannibalistic wife!

But if he comes
With a proposal from Fedot, -
For me from the candidates
Anton will be the one!..

Tsar

Charged like a hoopoe -
Every word is Fedot!
Apart from Fedot, no
No sorrows, no worries!

Your Fedot is now at the bottom,
In the depths of Okiyansk,
And - since he was drowned -
Doesn't need a wife!..

Princess

If that's the case -
I refuse to eat!
Here's mine for you, daddy,
Political revenge!

I won't eat caviar,
As usual, a bucket at a time -
And out of exhaustion
I'll get sick and die!..

Tsar

Wherever you spit, wherever you poke, -
From ministers to relatives -
All are complete freethinkers,
All pests are the same!..

What a lump in my throat!
No sympathy for anyone!
I'll find a quieter forest
And I’ll get a job as a forester!..

Buffoon-amusement

A year has passed, another is coming - Fedot returned home. But there is no house, just a skeleton sticks out, beams and rafters, and nettles all around. And under the eaves, a bird, a forest pigeon, curled up in a gray ball...

Fedot

Come on, wifey, come on
Set the table for your husband!
Take it out of the oven for me
Brown the loaf!

Pour some hearty cabbage soup
Fatter and thicker, -
I have become skinny
From overseas vegetables!

There's no one in the whole house,
Except for the wind!
Suspicious matter
Is there a FAQ?

(Golubitsa turns into Marusya.)

Marusya

Welcome back, Fedot!
Your journey lasted a long time!
Al forgot his Marusya,
Why haven't you traveled for a whole year?

Abroad, I guess
Entertainment is a dime a dozen!
Looked at my girlfriend, I guess
Yes, he warmed up on his chest!..

Fedot

I saw the white light -
Josephine and Henriette, -
But beauties like you
Marusya is not among them!

And I went beyond the seas,
Although it takes a long time, it’s not in vain -
Still completed the task
The cunning king!..

Marusya

If only you knew, Fedot,
Who are you wasting your sweat on?
I wouldn't even take a step
From the gates of our birth!

You left - he, shameful,
He began to look after me
Persuaded, okhalnik,
Become a woman's wife!

Fedot

Really?.. Oh, villain!..
So now believe in people,
So stand for the honor of your uniform,
Here's to the service and for the sake of it!..

Oh well, I'll tell him
I'll explain what's what!
I'll take it to the very toes
I’ll sign it under Khokhloma!..

Stop making fools
From the race men!
I have nothing to lose now,
Except your own shackles!

Buffoon-amusement

Fedot got angry and called an honest people. The neighbors decided to help Feda. Frol took the stake, Ustin took the drin, Ignat took the grip. And everyone follows Fedot to the Tsar’s Gate. The general is coming towards them, damn him! He jumped up sideways, his pupils sparkled, he took a closer look - and went to the Tsar for a report!..

General

There gathered at the gate
Entot... what's his name... people!
In general, the matter is accepted
Social turnover!

And it’s all Fedot’s fault,
This is why he stirs up people, -
Incites the population
Start a revolution!..

Tsar

Well, why do we have you,
With a sword like this?
That's why we're holding you,
May the kings' peace be preserved!

After the rain on Thursday
I'll give you an extra medal,
Just try your best
So that the people do not overthrow me!..

General

Look, a medal!.. Great honor!..
I have countless awards:
All hung up like a Christmas tree,
There are six of them on the back!..

Protect you from harm
Now I have no reason!
You are for your own meanness
You have to answer for yourself!..

Buffoon-amusement

He was such a fool, but how he spoke! Even though the king is angry, try to hit it! This is not the time to hit the nail on the head. The king came out onto the porch, made a stern face, and in the square there were people - all of Russia was there!

Tsar

What about your mother?
I'm sorry, do you understand?
We are not some kind of storage,
To stir up trouble!

Who wants to go to Kolyma -
Come out one at a time!
There you will have a moment
Enlightenment in the mind!

Fedot

As for the mind, -
He is very fair:
Thank God we distinguish
Forget-me-not from crap!

Why don't you hurry me up
Sent over a hundred seas?
Isn't it just to get married?
On my wife?..

Tsar

Ento where are you, villain,
I got ideas like this
To rivet any FAQ
For decent people!

Does this suit me -
Molest your wife?..
Here they come, you fools,
On foreign tours!..

Fedot

Don't be too angry, -
We're here for tea, not for tea!
Well, you'll be racing, -
I'll accidentally drive into the snout!

About you, about the scoundrel,
Glory all the way to Cherepovets!
You are in the soul of all the people
Spit in my face!..

Tsar

You are in vain, Fedya, for me
My people are my relatives.
I have no thoughts about the people
I can't live even a day!..

In the morning I spread the sandwich -
Immediately I thought: what about the people?
And caviar doesn’t go down my throat,
And the compote doesn’t pour into your mouth!

At night I'll stand by the window
And I stand all night without sleep -
I'm still worried about Rasey,
How is she, poor thing?

And the culprit is the general,
Schemer and immoral!
This is him, the face of a cow,
You've sullied the princess's honor!

General

What are you, brothers?.. I'm for you
Lost an eye in the attack!..
Whenever I dare
Against the masses!..

I'll justify it. I'll serve.
I'll suffer. I'll do my time.
To the oppressive elite
I don't belong anymore!..

And the culprit is Yaga!
There is no more dangerous enemy!
In front of her is Gorynych himself -
So, not a snake, but a small fry!

Well, where are you, fidget?
Look people in the eyes!
Personally, I can't resist -
I'll hit you twice with my saber!..

Baba Yaga

I am a folklore element,
I have a document.
I can totally leave
Fly away at any moment!

For the heat, for the snowstorm
Everyone scolds me, the hag,
And there is no more harm in me,
Than in a chamomile in a meadow!

Well, by chance, well, jokingly,
I've lost my way!
After all, I am a child of nature,
It may be bad, but it’s a child!

If we judge those two,
My accomplices.
I look like evil spirits
And in fact, cleaner than them!..

Fedot

Well, you are cunning people -
It really takes me by surprise!
Everyone thinks everyone else is a freak,
Despite the fact that he himself is a freak.

At least the racial people
They don’t give in to reprisals,
But I have to, guys,
Bring a trial to you.

Tsar

Spare me, Sagittarius!
I'm a bastard! I'm a scoundrel!
I will exile myself to Voronezh,
I will exile myself to Yelets!..

Just not to Magadan,
This is beyond my years:
I'll get there by now -
I'm afraid I'll give you the oak!

General

I admit my guilt.
Meru. Degree. Depth.
And please guide me
For the current war.

But preferably in July,
And preferably in Crimea.

Baba Yaga

Where am I going, a widow?
Is it just to Khiva?
I'm already on the outskirts -
There's nowhere else to go! - I live!..

For me to rest my soul
Tetyushi would come!
Tama in the sense of medicine
The herbs are very good!..

Fedot

We'll put you in a tub,
Let's throw it into the sea - and hell!
You'll make do with a tub,
I won't give you the boat!

And the monstrosity will carry you
Straight to the island on Buyan!
Well, so as not to go wild,
Here's my personal button accordion.

True, he is my fault! —
Not a damn thing plays,
But no matter what,
And you need culture!

Princess

As for the king, -
Let him go overseas.
I have problems with war
Deep to the lantern!

He is punished by fate
For deceit and robbery.
This is him, the damned ghoul,
Separated me from you!

Thank God it's finally
The usurper is finished,
And now we can safely
Go down the aisle!..

Fedot

I would be glad to have it in my house
There's no need for two spouses!
Refer to this topic
To an unmarried person!..

Nurse

Are you crazy?
The fish swims into the net by itself!
Tea, not everyone is so lucky
Get it for free!

Ali think behind her
Are there not enough guys running around?
On her list of candidates
There are nicer guys!

All with excitement in the blood
Waiting for princess love
The competition is like this -
Just spray them with dust!

Just got married just before dawn
At once a Turk, a Greek and a Swede, -
We got it right away
Negative answer!

And to the poor archer
Arrogance is not at all becoming.
Take, fool, the princess
And drag her to the crown!..

Fedot

I'm neither Turkish nor Greek,
I'm a family man
And with my wife Marusya
I won't part forever!

Princess

So you can't bear it
I'm burning to help the girl?
But for now I'm still
After all, the Tsar's daughter!

If I don't get it
I want a FAQ from you -
You will go away
Straight into the clutches of the executioner!

Nurse

Where are you - oh and hot! -
Will you find the executioner?
When dad was overthrown, he
Immediately gave the goosebumps!

Now we need to keep this in mind! -
You have to be in harmony with the crowd:
Despotism is not in fashion now,
Democracy is on the move.

I wish you could leave
In this... what's his name... in Brussels,
Once this happens,
Sorry, carousel!

Forgive her, Fedot, -
There's confusion in her mind
She gets her thoughts from books
They stood backwards.

Dumas has read a lot -
So she went crazy!
Get a little freaked out -
Calm down yourself!..

Fedot

Come on, princess, don’t be sad!
And don’t crunch your muscles!
That our love didn’t work out,
Forgive me for that!

But since I'm in debt
I can't stay
I am in your misfortune -
I will help as best I can!

I'm from Tula to Torzhok
I'll search everything to the top,
Even from the bottom of the sea -
And I’ll get it, groom!

Princess

I agree!.. But still
Not just anyone will be good enough for me.
I want a husband like this
So that he looks like you!

Whether he is a Swede or a reaper,
Doctor, baker or blacksmith, -
I have one condition:
Let him be your twin!..

Fedot

I am your dream, my friend.
I'll definitely take it into account
At least such copies
Everything in Rasey counts.

As for the mind -
I don't have any duplicates.
However, this is what I hope
You noticed it yourself.

Well, well done
Still no thinner than jellied meat:
Since I promised -
I'll get a twin!

And now, honest people,
Get the faces out of your beards!
Tea, we are not having a memorial service,
Quite the opposite!

Now we can’t shed tears, -
Sing songs and drink mead!..
Come on, stand in front of me,
That-FAQ-Cannot-Be!..

I've been standing here for a long time,
At the edge of the porch,
I'm waiting for you to finish
Your meeting!..

Fedot

Treat the honest people
From overseas bounties!
Tea, they are such food
From birth they never put it in their mouth.

Offer them in reality
Samarkand halva,
And Turkish pistachio,
And Persian quince!

Put everything on the tablecloth -
Chocolate and marmalade,
And Dutch brisket
And Chukhonsky servelat!

Don't forget the Swiss cheese
The one that's all holes!
Throw us a glorious feast,
The likes of which the world has never seen!

Well, if someone asks
About a hundred grams of mash -
So be it!.. Today you can!..
Thank God, there is something!..

Buffoon-amusement

I was at that feast and ate grainy caviar. Prov ate pilaf, Filat ate salad. Ustin ate galantine. And Fedot the Sagittarius ate a pickled cucumber. And when he ate the cucumber, that’s the end of the fairy tale! And if a fairy tale is bad, it’s the storyteller’s fault. I wish I could catch the fool and give him a blow, but there’s no way - after all, the narrator is a fool! And since time immemorial we have not had a court for fools!..
