The secret of Gogol is biography

The Vernadsky Nan of Ukraine in Kyiv in the Gogolian department stored unique documents about the family and ancestors of the great Ukrainian writer at the Institute of Manuscripts at the National Library named after V. Vernadsky National National National University of Ukraine in Kyiv in the Gogolian department stored unique documents about the family and ancestors of the great Ukrainian writer.

In the year they were stored by Vasily Golovnya, the son of the younger sister of Nikolai Vasilyevich. A sheet from the Metric Book of the Transfiguration Church of the town of the Great Soroche residents of the Mirgorod Poltava of the Poltava province has been preserved. It writes in it: "Martha was born to the landowner Vasily Yanovsky, the son of Nicholas and was baptized." The sheets of "Vedomosti of students of the 1st grade of the highest department of the Poltava hanging school for the year." Nikolai Yanovsky appears in this list at number 40, at number 41 - his younger brother Ivan Yanovsky, who soon died.

The institute of manuscripts contains the pages of the Diary, filled with the hand of class teachers of the Nezhinsky lyceum in the year. The surname of the restless summer Nikolai Yanovsky is more often mentioned among the boarders who “received a worthy punishment for their thin behavior” and left without lunch. In the year, the house of parents was restored in the village of Gogolevo, Shishatsky district of the Poltava region.

The exposition contains a copy of the “Revis Tale” of the census for the year according to the Kupchin farm, which was owned by the grandfather of the writer - Afanasy Demyanovich Yanovsky, who received this estate as a dowry behind his wife. Soon the estate became called the Yanovshchina, and later, by the name of the only son of Vasily Afanasyevich, the future father N.

Gogol Vasilievka. The people still have these two names. The museum exposition has a copy of the “Sewner List of A. Yanovsky” in a year. It says that Nikolai Gogol’s grandfather was born in the year. A native of a Polish gentry. He graduated from the Kyiv Theological Academy. Freely speak five languages: Russian, Latin, Greek, German and Polish. He served in the General Military Chancellery as a regimental clerk.

Today this corresponds to the position of chief of staff of the military unit of the regiment. He resigned with the rank of second-major. For the first time, the surname of the writer’s grandfather with the increase in Gogol appeared in the “noble letter”, which he received on October 15. Only indigenous nobles were recorded in this book, and not those who have acquired this title for military, state merits or for the nobilitation of the year.

In St. Petersburg, many writers knew the young genius of Ukraine under a double surname or just as Yanovsky. You may have noticed an excerpt from a historical novel in Northern colors, with the signature of OOO, also in the Literary Newspaper - “Thoughts on Television of Geography”, an article “Woman” and a chapter from the Little Russian story “Teacher”. They were written by Gogol-Yanovsky, I impatiently wish to bring him to you under the blessing of is it not true, that Field completely justified the fable of Krylov: a donkey and nightingale?

I would really want to meet him. We have not yet had an author with such fun, we have a great rarity in our north. Yanovsky is a man with decisive talent. Its syllable is alive, original, performed by colors and often taste. In many places, an observer is visible in him, and in the story of his “terrible revenge” he was not once a poet. Our regiment has arrived: this conclusion is a little immodest, but it expresses my feeling for Yanovsky well.

I am very sorry that your letter, written in receipt of the parcel, did not reach me. In the prevention of such riots, I will continue to ask you to address me just Gogol, because the tip of my surname I do not know where to go. Maybe someone lifted it on a large road and wears as his property. Be that as it may, only I am nowhere to be known here under the name of Yanovsky, and the postmen are always almost difficult to look for me under this sign.

” Since then, the writer signs all his works and letters to relatives and acquaintances only by the first Ukrainian part of his surname - Gogol. It is well known that in the year Gogol wanted to occupy the department of universal history at the University of Kiev, which they had just begun to organize. In December, he writes from St. Petersburg to his friend Mikhail Maksimovich, who soon became the first rector of this university: “In Kyiv, in ancient beautiful Kyiv!

He is ours, he is not their - not true? There, or around him, the country's affairs were acting, it will be glorious, if we take the Kyiv departments with you, a lot can be done good. And a new life among such a good land! There you can update Yanovsky in the Russian Empire by all forbidden to take Poles for the public service. The trustee of the Kyiv training district deleted Gogol-Yanovsky from the list of future teachers of the university submitted for consideration.

He knew the Polish roots of the writer. He also knew that his mother, Maria Kosyarovskaya, until 14 years old was brought up in the house of the parents of her cousin-Major General Andrei Troshchinsky, married to the granddaughter of the last king of Poland Stanislav Ponatovsky. Gogol was silent about the Polish roots of Gogol.Lubyon “vicar” priest, successor of the clan and the successor of spiritual power was his son Damian John Yanovsky, a priest of the Kononian Assumption Church.

Further, the Dolive of the Yanovskys goes along two parallel lines: 1 son Fr. Damiana-Afanasy Damianovich, already Gogol-Yanovsky, second-major, his son Vasily, grandson Nikolai, writer; 2 Kirill Damianovich, priest of the Kononovsky Church; His children: Mercury and Savva, both priests but Gogol biographers of his high kinship seemed insufficient. The famous writer, historian, critic and folklorist Panteleimon Kulish in his book “Notes of the Life of N.

Gogol” St. Petersburg. The biographer reports that this colonel in the year passed his Mogilev fortress of the Commonwealth and moved to the service of the Polish king Jan Kazimir, for which he received the village of Olkhovets from him. It must be emphasized that, firstly, the annals are mentioned by Eustathius Gogol, and not Ostap Gogol-a collective artistic image of the writer. And secondly, the king was six years before he rejected from the throne and therefore had neither the right nor the opportunity to distribute land to anyone.

The famous Ukrainian historian Mikhail Maksimovich entered the polemic with the first biographer: “Mr. Kulish gives from himself to our poet a famous colonel and hetman Eustathius Gogol. Such a replacement of one person with another shows a self -willed circumvention with a historical act. The poet’s grandfather, Afanasy Demyanovich, of course, was better than R. Kulisha knew his grandfather Andrei Gogol and would not refuse him for any Sofamil.

” In August, Maksimovich visited Gogol in Vasilyevka for two weeks and read genuine documents about the ancestors of the genius, later lost. Tansky attracted the attention of the king with his courage, courage and mind to the Swedish campaign. He was a highly educated person, took foreign languages, including French and Latin. He wrote dramas. And a year later, they had Tatyana Lizogub, Gogol’s grandmother.

Today, contrary to the documents, all researchers write that Vasily Tansky was in nationality Volokh or just a “alien”. And Colonel Ostap Gogol is the ancestor of the genius. All his contemporaries knew about the Polish roots of Nikolai Vasilyevich. Princess Zinaida Volkonskaya also knew this, who met Gogol in Rome in the year. At the end of December, at Villa Volkonskaya, a public reading was arranged by the author of the Revisor in favor of the poor Ukrainian artist Ivan Shapovalov.

The princess was a fanatical Catholic, obsessed with a passionate desire and others to engage in the bosom of the Roman Church. She dreamed of turning to the “true faith” by both her adult son and Gogol, for which she began to invite Polish emigrants Peter Semenenko and Jerome Kaysevich to her house every day every day, participating in the uprising of Poland - years. In the fall of the year, with fake passports, they illegally arrived in Rome to recruit adherents to their teacher Bogdan Yansky, a friend of Mitskevich, who founded a new Catholic monastic Order in Paris.

The religious fraternity saw its task in contributing to the spiritual revival and rally of emigration to continue the struggle. Jerome Kaysevich wrote in the “Diary”: “We met Gogol, a little Russians, a giving Great Russian writer, who immediately showed a great tendency to Catholicism and Poland, even made a prosperous trip to Paris to get acquainted with Mitskuevich and Bogdan Zalessky.” In the conversation, we really liked him.

He has a noble heart, moreover, he is young; If over time to influence him deeper, then maybe he will not be deaf to the truth and he will turn to it clearly, we talked about Slavic affairs. Gogol turned out to be completely without prejudices and even, perhaps, there, in the depths of a very clean soul lurks. He knows how in Polish, that is, he reads. They spoke for a long time about the “Socorious Comedy”, about “Tadeusz”, etc.

Gogol told us that he was reading Meroroslavsky, and that he likes him for this for him - about the in -connovo and Mokhnatsky. The last for the sake of language and style. This especially fascinated Gogol, for he would like to be imbued with the power of the Polish language. ” Both missionaries tried to create the impression of the head of the Parisian fraternity that the step before the Catholicism to Gogol was literally one.

His sympathy for the struggle of the Poles for his freedom, the love of their literature, the monks interpreted vice versa. Kaisevich and P. Semenenko are informed by Bogdan Yansky: “Gogol recently visited us, the next day we have it.
