Konstantin Simonov
Gunner's son
Was with Major Deev
Comrade - Major Petrov,
We were still friends with a civilian,
Ever since the twenties.
Together they chopped whites
Checkers on the run
They later served together
In the artillery regiment.
And Major Petrov
There was Lyonka, beloved son,
Without a mother, at the barracks,
The boy grew up alone.
And if Petrov is away, -
It used to be, instead of a father
His friend stayed
For this tomboy.
Will call Deev Lenka:
Well, let's go for a walk:
Son of an artilleryman
It's time to get used to the horse!
Together with Lenka will go
At a trot, and then into the quarry.
It used to be that Lyonka saved,
Can't take the barrier
Falls off and whines.
Clearly, still a kid!
Deev will raise him
Like a second father.
Putting him back on the horse:
Learn, brother, to take barriers!
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
Another two or three years have passed
And carried away
Deeva and Petrova
Military craft.
Deev left for the North
I even forgot the address.
Seeing you would be great!
He didn't like letters.
But that must be why
That he himself did not expect children,
About Lyonka with some sadness
He often remembered.
Ten years have passed.
Silence is over
Thunder rumbled
Over the homeland war.
Deev fought in the North;
In the polar wilderness
Sometimes in the newspapers
Looking for names of friends.
Once I found Petrov:
“So, alive and well!”
He was praised in the newspaper
Petrov fought in the South.
Then, coming from the South,
Someone told him
That Petrov, Nikolai Yegorych,
Heroically died in the Crimea.
Deev took out a newspaper,
He asked: "What date?"
And with sadness I realized that the mail
Been here too long...
And soon in one of the cloudy
northern evenings
Assigned to Deev's regiment
There was Lieutenant Petrov.
Deev sat over the map
With two smoldering candles.
A tall soldier entered
Oblique fathom in the shoulders.
In the first two minutes
The major did not recognize him.
Only the lieutenant's bass
Reminds me of something.
Well, turn to the light -
And brought a candle to him.
All the same baby lips
The same snub nose.
And what a mustache - so it is
Shave off! - and the whole conversation.
Lyonka? - That's right, Lenka,
He is the best, comrade major!
So he graduated from high school
Let's serve together.
It's a pity, until such happiness
Father did not have to live.-
Lenka's eyes flashed
An unwelcome tear.
He gritted his teeth silently
Wiped the sleeve of the eye.
And again the major had to
As in childhood, tell him:
Hold on my boy: in the light
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
And two weeks later
There was a heavy battle in the rocks,
To help everyone out, I must
Someone risk themselves.
The major summoned Lyonka to himself,
Looked straight at him.
By your order
Appeared, comrade major.
Well, it's good that you showed up.
Leave the documents to me.
You will go alone, without a radio operator,
Radio on the back.
And across the front, over the rocks,
At night in the German rear
Walk along this path
Where no one has gone.
You'll be there on the radio
Fire batteries.
It's clear? - That's right, clearly.
Well, then go quickly.
No, wait a little.-
Major stood up for a second
As in childhood, with two hands
Lyonka pressed to himself -
You go to such a thing
It's hard to come back.
As a commander, I
I'm not happy to send it there.
But as a father... Answer me:
Am I your father or not?
Father, - Lyonka told him
And hugged him back.
So, like a father, once it happened
Fight for life and death
My father's duty and right
Risk your son
Before others I must
Send your son forward.
Hold on my boy: in the light
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
Understood me? - Got it.
May I go? - Go!-
The major remained in the dugout,
The shells were bursting ahead.
Somewhere it rumbled and roared.
The Major watched the clock.
It would be a hundred times easier for him
If only he walked on his own.
Twelve ... Now, probably,
He went through the posts.
Hour ... Now he got
To the bottom of the height.
Two ... He must now be
Crawls to the very ridge.
Three ... Hurry to
The dawn did not catch him.
Deev went out into the air -
How bright the moon shines
Couldn't wait until tomorrow
Damn her!
All night, walking like a pendulum
Major did not close his eyes,
While on the radio in the morning
The first signal came:
It's all right, got it.
Germans left me
Coordinates three, ten,
Hurry, let's fire! -
The guns were loaded
The major calculated everything himself,
And with a roar the first volleys
They hit the mountains.
And again the signal on the radio:
Germans right me

Relevance: Current academic year
Difficulty: advanced
Codifier section: Punctuation marks in sentences with words and constructions not grammatically related to sentence members
Rule: Task 18. Introductory words and appeal
Task 18 tests the ability to punctuate words that are not grammatically related to the sentence. These include introductory words (constructions, phrases, sentences), plug-in constructions and appeals.
In the USE 2016-2017, one part of tasks 18 will be presented in the form of a narrative sentence with introductory words
Dacha (1) can be (2) called the cradle from which for each of us began to comprehend the world, at first limited to a garden, then a huge street, then plots and (3) finally (4) the entire country side.
The other part (judging by the demo and the book by I.P. Tsybulko Model Exam Materials 2017) will look like this:
Put punctuation marks: indicate the number (s) in the place of which (s) in the sentence should (s) be a comma (s).
Listen (1) maybe (2) when we leave
Forever this world, where the soul is so cold,
Perhaps (3) in a country where they do not know deceit,
You (4) will be an angel, I will become a demon!
Swear then to forget (5) dear (6)
For a former friend, all the happiness of paradise!
May (7) the gloomy exile, condemned by fate,
You will be paradise, and you will be the universe to me!
(M.Yu. Lermontov)
Consider the rules and concepts necessary to perform this type of task.
17.1 The general concept of introductory words and the basic rule for their selection.
Introductory words are words (or phrases) that are not grammatically related to the sentence and introduce additional semantic shades. For example: Obviously communication with children develops many good qualities in a person; Fortunately the secret remains a secret.
These meanings are conveyed not only by introductory words, but also introductory sentences. For example: evening, Do you remember, the blizzard was angry ... (Pushkin).
Adjoining the input units insert structures which contain various additional remarks, amendments and clarifications. Plug-in constructions, like introductory ones, are not connected with other words in the sentence. They abruptly tear up the offer. For example: Journals of foreign literature (two) I ordered to send to Yalta ; Masha talked to him about Rossini (Rossini was just coming into fashion) about Mozart.
The main mistake of most writers is associated with inaccurate knowledge of the list of introductory words. Therefore, first of all, you should learn which words can be introductory, which groups of introductory words can be distinguished and which words are never introductory.
GROUPS OF INTRODUCTORY WORDS.
1. introductory words expressing the speaker's feelings in connection with what was said: fortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, to annoyance, to horror, to misfortune, what good ...
2. introductory words expressing the speaker's assessment of the degree of reliability of what he said: of course, undoubtedly, of course, indisputably, obviously, certainly, probably, probably, probably, probably, probably, probably, apparently, apparently, in essence, in fact, I think ... This group of introductory words is the most numerous.
3. introductory words indicating the sequence of thoughts presented and their connection with each other: firstly, so, therefore, in general, means, by the way, further, however, finally, on the one hand… This group is also quite large and treacherous.
4. introductory words indicating the techniques and ways of formulating thoughts: in a word, in other words, in other words, rather, more precisely, so to speak ...
5. introductory words indicating the source of the message: they say, in my opinion, according to ..., according to rumors, according to information ..., according to ..., in my opinion, I remember ...
6. introductory words, which are the speaker's appeal to the interlocutor: you see (whether), you know, understand, forgive, please, agree ...
7. introductory words indicating an assessment of the measure of what is being said: at the most, at least...
8. introductory words showing the degree of commonness of what was said: happens, happens, as usual...
9. introductory words expressing the expressiveness of the statement: joking aside, it's funny to say, to be honest, between us...
17.1. 1 ARE NOT INTRODUCTORY WORDS and therefore the following words are not separated by commas in the letter:
literally, as if, in addition, suddenly, after all, here, there, hardly, after all, ultimately, hardly, even, precisely, exclusively, as if, as if, just, meanwhile, almost, therefore, therefore, approximately, approximately, moreover, moreover, simply, decisively, as if ... - this group includes particles and adverbs, which most often turn out to be erroneously isolated as introductory.
according to tradition, according to the advice ..., according to the instructions ..., according to the demand ..., according to the order ..., according to the plan ... - these combinations act as non-separated (not separated by commas) members of the sentence:
On the advice of her older sister, she decided to enter Moscow State University.
By order of the doctor, the patient was put on a strict diet.
17.1. 2 Depending on the context, the same words can act either as introductory words or as members of a sentence.
MAY and MAY BE, SHOULD BE, SEEMS (seemed) act as introductory if they indicate the degree of reliability of the reported:
Maybe, I will come tomorrow? Our teacher has been gone for two days; may be, he is ill. You, should be, for the first time you meet with such a phenomenon. I, seems, I saw him somewhere.
The same words can be used as predicates:
What can a meeting with you bring me? How can a person be so optional! This should be your own decision. All this seems very suspicious to me. Note: you can never throw out its predicate from a sentence, but the introductory word can.
OBVIOUSLY, POSSIBLY, VISIBLY turn out to be introductory if they indicate the degree of reliability of the statement:
You, obviously Do you want to apologize for what you did? Next month I possibly I'm going to rest. You, it is seen Would you like to tell us the whole truth?
The same words can be included in the predicates:
It became obvious to everyone that another way to solve the problem had to be found. This was made possible thanks to the coordinated actions of the fire brigade. The sun is not visible because of the clouds.
PROBABLY, TRUE, EXACTLY, NATURALLY turn out to be introductory when indicating the degree of reliability of the reported (in this case they are interchangeable or can be replaced by words of this group that are close in meaning) - You, probably (=must be) and you don't understand how important it is to do it on time. You, right, and there is the same Sidorov? She is, exactly, was a beauty. All these arguments naturally So far, only our guesses.
The same words turn out to be members of the sentence (circumstances) - He correctly (=correctly, the circumstance of the mode of action) translated the text. I don't know for sure (=probably a modus operandi), but he must have done it to spite me. The student accurately (=correctly) solved the problem. This naturally (=in a natural way) led us to the only correct answer.
BTW is an introductory word if it indicates a connection of thoughts:
He is a good sportsman. By the way He also studies well.
The same word does not act as an introductory word in the meaning of "at the same time":
I'll go for a walk, by the way I'll buy some bread.
BY THE WAY turns out to be an introductory word, indicating the connection of thoughts:
Her parents, friends and, by the way, best friend against the trip.
This word can be used as a non-introductory word in the context:
He made a long speech, in which, among other things, he noted that he would soon become our boss.
FIRST of all, as an introductory word, it indicates the connection of thoughts:
Primarily(= firstly), is it even necessary to raise such a sensitive topic?
The same word can act as a circumstance of time (=first):
First of all, I want to say hello from your parents.
It must be said that in the same phrase "first of all" can be considered as an introductory, or not, depending on the will of the author.
REALLY, DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY, ACTUALLY will be introductory if they indicate the degree of reliability of the reported:
From this hill really(=exactly, in fact, without any doubt), the view was the best. Undoubtedly(=really, really), your child is capable of music. He, undoubtedly read this novel. - or at the reception of the formulation of thoughts - Here, actually and the whole story.
The same words are not introductory if they appear in other meanings:
I really am what you imagined me to be (=really, actually). He was undoubtedly a talented composer (= no doubt, actually). She is certainly right in offering us such a simple way to solve the problem (=very, quite right). I didn't really have anything against the school, but I didn't want to go to this one (= in general, exactly). The words "really" and "unconditionally", depending on the intonation proposed by the speaker, may in the same context be either introductory or not.
AND, after she turned out to be a celebrity. Further, we will talk about our findings. Thus(=so), our results do not contradict those obtained by other scientists. She is smart, beautiful and, finally she is very kind to me. What, eventually you want from me? Usually sentences containing the above words complete a series of enumerations, the words themselves have the meaning "and more". In the context above, the words "firstly", "secondly", "on the one hand", etc. may occur. "Thus" in the meaning of the introductory word turns out to be not only the completion of the enumeration, but also the conclusion.
The same words are not distinguished as introductory in the meanings: "in this way" = "in this way":
Thus he was able to move the heavy cabinet.
Usually in the previous context there are circumstances of time, for example "at first". "then" = "then, after that":
And then he became a famous scientist.
"Finally" = "in the end, finally, after all, as a result of everything":
Finally, all cases were successfully completed. Usually, in this sense, the particle "-something" can be added to the word "finally", which cannot be done if "finally" is an introductory word. In the same meanings as indicated above for "finally", the combination "in the end" is not an introductory combination:
In the end (=as a result) an agreement was reached.
HOWEVER is introductory if it is in the middle or at the end of a sentence:
Rain, but, has been going on for the second week, despite the forecasts of weather forecasters. How I deftly do it, but!
"However" does not turn out to be introductory at the beginning of a sentence and at the beginning of a part of a complex sentence, when it acts as an adversative conjunction (= but): However, people did not want to believe in his good intentions. We did not hope to meet, but we were lucky.
We draw attention to the fact that sometimes the word “however” can also be at the beginning of a sentence, but does not perform the function of a union: However, it's incredibly difficult.
IN GENERAL is introductory in the sense of "generally speaking" when it indicates the way thoughts are framed:
His works, generally, is of interest only to a narrow circle of specialists. In other senses, the word "in general" is an adverb in the sense of "in general, completely, in all respects, under all conditions, always":
Ostrovsky is to the Russian theater what Pushkin is to literature in general. Under the new law, smoking in the workplace is generally prohibited.
MY, YOUR, OUR, YOUR are introductory, indicating the source of the message:
Your child, to my mind, caught a cold. This is, In your, proves something? The word "in his own way" is not introductory: He is right in his own way.
OF COURSE is most often introductory, indicating the degree of reliability of the statement:
We, certainly ready to help you with everything.
Sometimes this word is not isolated if intonation is distinguished by a tone of confidence, conviction. In this case, the word "of course" is considered an amplifying particle: I certainly would agree if you warned me in advance.
In any case, it is more often introductory and is used to evaluate:
I, anyway I don't want to be reminded of it. These words, anyway testify to the seriousness of his attitude to life.
In the meaning of "always, under any circumstances" this combination is not introductory:
I anyway was supposed to meet him today and talk to him.
IN REALLY, it is NOT introductory more often, speaking in the meaning of "really" - Petya is really well versed in computers. I really don't belong here. Less often, this phrase turns out to be introductory if it serves to express bewilderment, indignation - What are you, Indeed, are you making a smart guy out of yourself?
In turn, it can be introductory when it indicates the connection of thoughts or the way the thought is formed:
Among many modern writers, Vladimir Sorokin is of interest, and among his books, in its turn, you can highlight the "Roman". Asking me to help him with his work, he, in its turn, also did not mess around. The same phrase can be non-introductory in the meanings "in response", "on my part" (= when the turn comes) - Masha, in turn, told about how she spent the summer.
MEAN is introductory if it can be replaced by the words "therefore", "therefore":
The message is complex means, it must be submitted today. The rain has already stopped means we can go for a walk. If she fights us so hard means she feels right.
This word may turn out to be a predicate, close in meaning to "means":
The dog means more to him than the wife. When you are truly friends with a person, it means that you trust him in everything. "So" can be between the subject and the predicate, especially when they are expressed in infinitives. In this case, the "mean" is preceded by a dash:
To be offended means to recognize oneself as weak. To be friends means to trust your friend.
ON the contrary, it is introductory if it indicates a connection of thoughts:
He didn't mean to hurt her, uh vice versa tried to ask her forgiveness. Instead of playing sports, she, vice versa sitting at home all day.
The combination "and vice versa" is not an introductory combination, which can act as a homogeneous member of a sentence, it is used as a word that replaces the whole sentence or part of it:
In the spring, girls change: brunettes become blondes and vice versa (i.e. blondes become brunettes). The more you study, the higher marks you get, and vice versa (i.e. if you study a little, the marks will be bad; the comma before "and" appears at the end of the sentence part - it turns out, as it were, a compound sentence, where "on the contrary" replaces its second part). I know that he will fulfill my request and vice versa (i.e. I will fulfill it, there is no comma before "and", since "vice versa" replaces a homogeneous clause).
It is AT LEAST introductory if the score matters:
Misha, at least, knows how to behave, and does not pick his teeth with a fork.
This phrase can be used in the meanings "not less than", "the least", then it is not isolated:
At least she would know that her father did not live in vain. At least five of the class must take part in cross-country skiing.
FROM THE POINT OF VIEW is introductory in the sense of "according to":
From my grandmother's point of view, the girl should not wear pants. her answer, from the point of view of the examiners worthy of the highest praise.
The same turnover can have the meaning "in relation to" and then it is not introductory:
Work is progressing according to plan in terms of timelines. If we evaluate the behavior of the heroes of some literary works from the point of view of modern morality, then it should be considered immoral.
IN PARTICULAR, it stands out as introductory if it indicates the connection of thoughts in the statement: She is interested, in particular, the question of the contribution of this scientist to the development of the theory of relativity. The firm is actively involved in charitable activities and, in particular, helps orphanage No. 187.
If the combination IN PARTICULAR turned out to be at the beginning or at the end of the connecting structure, then it is not separated from this structure (this will be discussed in more detail in the next section):
I love books about animals, especially about dogs. My friends, in particular Masha and Vadim, vacationed this summer in Spain. The indicated combination is not distinguished as an introductory one if it is connected by the union "and" with the word "generally":
The conversation turned to politics in general and the latest government decisions in particular.
MAINLY it is introductory, when it serves to evaluate some fact, highlight it in the statement: The textbook should be rewritten and, mainly, add such chapters to it ... The room was used on special occasions and, mainly for the organization of ceremonial dinners.
This combination may be part of the connecting construction, in which case, if it is at its beginning or end, it is not separated from the construction itself by a comma:
Many Russian people mainly intellectuals did not believe the promises of the government.
In the meaning of "first of all", "most of all", this combination is not introductory and is not isolated:
He was afraid of writing mainly because of his illiteracy. What I like most about him is his relationship with his parents.
FOR EXAMPLE will always be introductory, but is formatted differently. It can be separated by commas on both sides:
Pavel Petrovich is a person who is extremely attentive to his appearance, For example He takes good care of his nails. If "for example" appears at the beginning or at the end of an already isolated member, then it is not separated from this turnover by a comma:
In many big cities, For example in Moscow, there is an unfavorable ecological situation. Some works of Russian writers, For example"Eugene Onegin" or "War and Peace" served as the basis for the creation of feature films not only in Russia, but also in other countries. In addition, after "for example" there can be a colon, if "for example" is after the generalizing word before a number of homogeneous members:
Some fruits can cause allergies, For example: oranges, tangerines, pineapple, red berries.
17.1.3 There are special cases of punctuation in introductory words.
To highlight introductory words and sentences, not only commas, but also dashes, as well as combinations of dashes and commas, can be used.
These cases are not included in the secondary school course and are not used in the USE assignments. But some turns, often used, need to be remembered. Here are some examples from Rosenthal's Punctuation Guide.
So, if the introductory combination forms an incomplete construction (any word restored from the context is missing), then it is distinguished by a comma and a dash: Makarenko repeatedly emphasized that pedagogy is based one side, on boundless trust in a person, and with another- on high requirements to it; Chichikov ordered to stop for two reasons: one side to give the horses a rest, with another- to relax and refresh yourself(the comma before the subordinate clause is "absorbed" by the dash); One side, it was important to make an urgent decision, but caution was required - with another.
17.2 The general concept of treatment and the basic rule for its selection.
For the first time included in the tasks of the exam in 2016-2017. Students will have to look for appeals in poetic works, which greatly complicates the task.
Addresses are words that name the person to whom the speech is addressed. The appeal has the form of the nominative case and is pronounced with a special intonation: Tatiana, dear Tatiana! With you now I shed tears. Addresses are usually expressed by animate nouns, as well as adjectives and participles in the meaning of nouns. For example: Use life living . In artistic speech, inanimate nouns can also be addresses. For example: Noise, noise obedient sail ; Don't make noise rye, ripe ear.
Personal pronouns you and you, as a rule, act not in the role of appeal, and as a subject: Sorry, peaceful valleys, and you , familiar mountain peaks, and you , familiar woods!
17.1.2. There are also more complex rules for selecting hits.
1. If the appeal at the beginning of the sentence is pronounced with an exclamatory intonation, then an exclamation mark is placed after it (the word following the appeal is capitalized): Old man! Forget about the past; A young native of Naples! What did you leave on the field in Russia?
2. If the appeal is at the end of the sentence, then a comma is placed before it, and after it - the punctuation mark that is required by the content and intonation of the sentence: Think master of culture; hello to you people of peaceful labor!; Are you here, cute?; You are a pig brother…
3.Duplicate calls are separated by a comma or an exclamation point: The steppe is wide, the steppe is deserted Why are you looking so cloudy?; Hello, wind, formidable wind, tailwind of world history!; Vaska! Vaska! Vaska! Great!
4. Homogeneous appeals connected by a union and or Yes, do not separate with a comma: sing along people, cities and rivers! sing along mountains, steppes and fields!; Hello, sunshine and happy morning!
5. If there are several appeals to one person, located in different places of the sentence, each of them is separated by commas: Ivan Ilyich, dispose, brother, about snacks; ... I therefore Thomas, isn't it better brother, breake down?
6. If the common appeal is “broken” by other words - members of the sentence, then each part of the appeal is separated by commas according to the general rule: Stronger equine, bey, hoof, chasing a step! ; For blood and tears, thirsting for retribution we see you forty one year.
Was with Major Deev
Comrade - Major Petrov,
We were still friends with a civilian,
Ever since the twenties.
Together they chopped whites
Checkers on the run
They later served together
In the artillery regiment.
And Major Petrov
There was Lenka, beloved son,
Without a mother, at the barracks,
The boy grew up alone.
And if Petrov is away, -
It used to be, instead of a father
His friend stayed
For this tomboy.
Will call Deev Lenka:
- Well, let's go for a walk:
Son of an artilleryman
It's time to get used to the horse!
Together with Lenka will go
At a trot, and then into the quarry.
It used to be that Lenka saved,
Can't take the barrier
Falls off and whines.
- It's clear, still a kid! -
Deev will raise him
Like a second father.
Putting him back on the horse:
- Learn, brother, to take barriers!
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
Another two or three years have passed
And carried away
Deeva and Petrova
Military craft.
Deev left for the North
I even forgot the address.
Seeing you would be great!
He didn't like letters.
But that must be why
That he himself did not expect children,
About Lenka with some sadness
He often remembered.
Ten years have passed.
Silence is over
Thunder rumbled
Over the homeland war.
Deev fought in the North;
In the polar wilderness
Sometimes in the newspapers
Looking for names of friends.
Once I found Petrov:
“So, alive and well!”
He was praised in the newspaper
Petrov fought in the South.
Then, coming from the South,
Someone told him
That Petrov, Nikolai Yegorych,
Heroically died in the Crimea.
Deev took out a newspaper,
He asked: "What date?"
And with sadness I realized that the mail
Been here too long...
And soon in one of the cloudy
northern evenings
Assigned to Deev's regiment
There was Lieutenant Petrov.
Deev sat over the map
With two smoldering candles.
A tall soldier entered
Oblique fathom in the shoulders.
In the first two minutes
The major did not recognize him.
Only the lieutenant's bass
Reminds me of something.
- Well, turn to the light, -
And brought a candle to him.
All the same baby lips
The same snub nose.
And what a mustache - so it is
Shave! - and the whole conversation.
- Lenka? - That's right, Lenka,
He is the best, comrade major!
So he graduated from high school
Let's serve together.
It's a pity, until such happiness
Father did not have to live.-
Lenka's eyes flashed
An unwelcome tear.
He gritted his teeth silently
Wiped the sleeve of the eye.
And again the major had to
As in childhood, tell him:
- Hold on, my boy: in the world
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
And two weeks later
There was a heavy battle in the rocks,
To help everyone out, I must
Someone risk themselves.
The major summoned Lenka to himself,
Looked straight at him.
- By your command
Appeared, comrade major.
- Well, it's good that you showed up.
Leave the documents to me.
You will go alone, without a radio operator,
Radio on the back.
And across the front, over the rocks,
At night in the German rear
Walk along this path
Where no one has gone.
You'll be there on the radio
Fire batteries.
Is it clear? - Yes, it is.
- Well, go quickly.
No, wait a little.-
Major stood up for a second
As in childhood, with two hands
Lenka pressed to himself: -
You go to such a thing
It's hard to come back.
As a commander, I
I'm not happy to send it there.
But as a father... Answer me:
Am I your father or not?
- Father, - Lenka told him
And hugged him back.
So, like a father, once it happened
Fight for life and death
My father's duty and right
Risk your son
Before others I must
Send your son forward.
Hold on my boy: in the light
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
- Got me? - Got it.
May I go? - Go! -
The major remained in the dugout,
The shells were bursting ahead.
Somewhere it rumbled and roared.
The Major watched the clock.
It would be a hundred times easier for him
If only he walked on his own.
Twelve ... Now, probably,
He went through the posts.
Hour ... Now he got
To the bottom of the height.
Two ... He must now be
Crawls to the very ridge.
Three ... Hurry to
The dawn did not catch him.
Deev went out into the air -
How bright the moon shines
Couldn't wait until tomorrow
Damn her!
All night, walking like a pendulum
Major did not close his eyes,
While on the radio in the morning
The first signal came:
- It's all right, I got it.
Germans left me
Coordinates three, ten,
Hurry, let's fire! -
The guns were loaded
The major calculated everything himself,
And with a roar the first volleys
They hit the mountains.
And again the signal on the radio:
- Germans right me,
Coordinates five, ten,
More like fire!
Earth and rocks flew
A column of smoke rose
It seemed that now from there
Nobody gets out alive.
The third signal on the radio:
- Germans around me,
Hit four, ten
Spare no fire!
The Major turned pale when he heard:
Four, ten - just right
The place where his Lyonka
Must sit now.
But without showing it,
Forgetting that he was a father,
Major continued to command
With a calm face
"Fire!" - shells flew.
"Fire!" - charge quickly!
Square four, ten
There were six batteries.
The radio was silent for an hour
Then came the signal:
- He was silent: deafened by the explosion.
Hit like I said.
I believe my shells
They can't touch me.
The Germans are running, click,
Give me a sea of fire!
And at the command post
Having received the last signal,
Major in deaf radio
Unable to bear it, he shouted:
- You hear me, I believe:
Do not take such death.
Hold on my boy: in the light
Don't die twice.
No one in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
The infantry went on the attack -
Was clear by noon.
From the fleeing Germans
Rocky height.
There were corpses everywhere
Wounded but alive
Was found in the Lenka Gorge
With a tied head.
When the bandage was unwound,
What hastily he tied up,
The major looked at Lenka
And suddenly he did not recognize him:
He was like the old one
Calm and young
All the same eyes of a boy
But only ... completely gray-haired.
He hugged the major before
How to go to the hospital:
- Hold on, father: in the world
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Now Lenka had ...
Here's the story
About these glorious deeds
On the Middle Peninsula
Was told to me.
And above, above the mountains,
The moon was still floating
Explosions were close,
The war continued.
The phone crackled, and, worrying,
The commander walked along the dugout,
And someone just like Lenka,
Went to the Germans today in the rear.
SON OF AN ARTILLERIST
Was with Major Deev
Comrade - Major Petrov,
We were still friends with a civilian,
Ever since the twenties.
Together they chopped whites
Checkers on the run
They later served together
In the artillery regiment.
And Major Petrov
There was Lenka, beloved son,
Without a mother, at the barracks,
The boy grew up alone.
And if Petrov is away, -
It used to be, instead of a father
His friend stayed
For this tomboy.
Will call Deev Lenka:
- Well, let's go for a walk:
Son of an artilleryman
It's time to get used to the horse!
Together with Lenka will go
At a trot, and then into the quarry.
It used to be that Lenka saved,
Can't take the barrier
Falls off and whines.
- It's clear, still a kid! -
Deev will raise him
Like a second father.
Putting him back on the horse:
- Learn, brother, to take barriers!
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
Another two or three years have passed
And carried away
Deeva and Petrova
Military craft.
Deev left for the North
I even forgot the address.
Seeing you would be great!
He didn't like letters.
But that must be why
That he himself did not expect children,
About Lenka with some sadness
He often remembered.
Ten years have passed.
Silence is over
Thunder rumbled
Over the homeland war.
Deev fought in the North,
In the polar wilderness
Sometimes in the newspapers
Looking for names of friends.
Once I found Petrov:
“So, alive and well!”
He was praised in the newspaper
Petrov fought in the South.
Then, coming from the South,
Someone told him
That Petrov, Nikolai Yegorych,
Heroically died in the Crimea.
Deev took out a newspaper,
He asked: "What date?"
And with sadness I realized that the mail
Been here too long...
And soon in one of the cloudy
northern evenings
Assigned to Deev's regiment
There was Lieutenant Petrov.
Deev sat over the map
With two smoldering candles.
A tall soldier entered
Oblique fathom in the shoulders.
In the first two minutes
The major did not recognize him.
Only the lieutenant's bass
Reminds me of something.
- Well, turn to the light, -
And brought a candle to him.
All the same baby lips
The same snub nose.
And what a mustache - so it is
Shave! - and the whole conversation.
- Lenka? - That's right, Lenka,
He is the best, comrade major!
- So, he graduated from school,
Let's serve together.
It's a pity, until such happiness
Father did not have to live.-
Lenka's eyes flashed
An unwelcome tear.
He gritted his teeth silently
Wiped the sleeve of the eye.
And again the major had to
As in childhood, tell him:
- Hold on, my boy: in the world
Don't die twice.
Nothing in our life can
Kick out of the saddle!-
Such a saying
Major had.
And two weeks later
There was a heavy battle in the rocks,
To help everyone out, I must
Someone risk themselves.
The major summoned Lenka to himself,
Looked straight at him.
- By your command
Appeared, comrade major.
- Well, it's good that you showed up.
Leave the documents to me.
You will go alone, without a radio operator,
Radio on the back.
And across the front, over the rocks,
At night in the German rear
Walk along this path
Where no one has gone.
You'll be there on the radio
Fire batteries.
Is it clear? - Yes, it is.
- Well, go quickly.
No, wait a little.-
Major stood up for a second
As in childhood, with two hands
Lenka pressed to himself: -
You go to such a thing
It's hard to come back.
As a commander, I
I'm not happy to send it there.
But as a father... Answer me:
Am I your father or not?
- Father, - Lenka told him
And hugged him back.
- So, as a father, since it happened
Fight for life and death
My father's duty and right
Risk your son
Before others I must
Send your son forward.
Hold on my boy: in the light
Don't die twice.

Simonov Konstantin
Gunner's son
Konstantin Simonov
Gunner's son
Major Deev had a comrade - Major Petrov, We were friends with the civilian, Ever since the twenties, Together they chopped the whites with checkers at a gallop, Together then they served In the artillery regiment.
And Major Petrov had Lyonka, his beloved son, Without a mother, at the barracks, The boy grew up alone. And if Petrov was away, it happened that instead of his father, his friend remained for this tomboy.
Deev will call Lenka: - Well, let's go for a walk: It's time for the gunner's son to get used to the horse! Together with Lenka, he will go to the lynx, and then to the quarry. It used to be that Lenka would save, He would not be able to take the barrier, He would fall down and whimper.
Of course, still a kid! Deev will raise him, Like a second father.
He will put him back on the horse: - Learn, brother, to take barriers! Hold on, my boy: do not die twice in the world.
Two or three more goals passed, And Deev and Petrov were swept aside by military craft.
Deev left for the North And even forgot the address. Seeing you would be great! He didn't like letters.
But because, it must be, That he himself was not expecting children, About Lenka with some sadness He often remembered.
Ten years have passed. The silence ended, the war rumbled like thunder over the Motherland.
Deev fought in the North; In its polar wilderness Sometimes I searched the newspapers for the names of my friends.
Once I found Petrov: "So, alive and well!" He was praised in the newspaper, Petrov fought in the South.
Then, having arrived from the South, Someone told him that Petrov, Nikolai Yegorych, died heroically in the Crimea.
Deev took out a newspaper, He asked: "What date?" And with sadness I realized that the mail had been coming here for too long ...
And soon, on one of the cloudy Northern evenings, Lieutenant Petrov was appointed to Deev's regiment.
Deev was sitting over the map By two smoky candles. A tall military man entered, with a slanting sazhen in his shoulders.
In the first two minutes Major did not recognize him. Only the lieutenant's bass reminded me of something.
Well, turn to the light, And bring a candle to it. All the same children's lips, The same snub nose.
And what a mustache - so it's a shave! - and the whole conversation. - Lenka? - That's right, Lenka, He is the most, comrade major!
So, he graduated from school, We will serve together. It is a pity that the Father did not have to live to such happiness.
Lenka had an unbidden tear in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he silently wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
And again the major, As in childhood, had to say to him: - Hold on, my boy: in the world you won't die twice.
Nothing in life can knock us out of the saddle! Such a saying The major had.
And two weeks later There was a heavy battle in the rocks, To save everyone, Someone is obliged to risk himself.
The major summoned Lenka to himself, looked at him point-blank. - By your order Appeared, comrade major.
Well, it's good that you showed up. Leave the documents to me. You will go alone, without a radio operator, Walkie-talkie on your back.
And through the front, over the rocks, At night to the German rear You will walk along such a path Where no one has walked.
You will be from there on the radio to fire batteries. It's clear? - That's right, clearly. - Well, go quickly.
No, wait a bit. The major stood up for a second, As in childhood, he pressed Lenka to himself with both hands.
You go to such a thing that it's hard to come back. As a commander, I'm not happy to send you there.
But as a father... Answer me: Am I your father or not? - Father, - Lenka told him And hugged him back.
So, as a father, once it happened To fight for life and death, My father's duty and the right to risk his Son.
Before others, I must send the Son forward. Hold on, my boy: do not die twice in the world.
Nothing in life can knock us out of the saddle! Such a saying The major had.
Understood me? - Got it. May I go? - Go! The major remained in the dugout, Shells burst ahead.
Somewhere it rumbled and roared. The Major watched the clock. It would be a hundred times easier for him if he walked himself.
Twelve ... Now, probably, He went through the posts. An hour... Now he has reached the foot of the height.
Two... He must now be Crawling to the very ridge. Three ... Hurry, so that the dawn does not catch Him.
Deev went out into the air How brightly the moon shines, Couldn't wait until tomorrow, Cursed be she!
All night, striding like a pendulum, The major did not close his eyes, Until the first signal came on the radio in the morning:
It's all right, got it. The Germans left me, Coordinates three, ten, Hurry, let's fire!
The guns were loaded, the Major calculated everything himself, And with a roar the first volleys Hit the mountains.
And again the signal on the radio: - The Germans right me, Coordinates five, ten, Rather, more fire!
Earth and rocks flew, Smoke rose like a column, It seemed that now no one would leave alive from there.
The third signal on the radio: - The Germans are around me, Beat four, ten, Do not spare the fire!
The major turned pale when he heard: Four, ten - just the place where his Lenka should sit now.
But, without showing any sign, Forgetting that he was a father, the Major continued to command With a calm face:
"Fire!" - shells were flying. "Fire!" - load quickly! Square four, ten Beat six batteries.
The radio was silent for an hour, Then a signal came: - Silent: deafened by the explosion, Beat, as I said.
I believe my shells can't touch me. The Germans are running, click, Give me a sea of fire!
And at the command post, Having received the last signal, the Major, in a deafened radio, Unable to stand it, shouted:
You hear me, I believe, Death does not take such. Hold on, my boy: do not die twice in the world.
Nothing in life can knock us out of the saddle! Such a saying The major had.
The infantry went on the attack. By noon, the Rocky Height was clear of the fleeing Germans.
There were corpses everywhere, Wounded, but alive Was found in the Lenka gorge With a bandaged head.
When the bandage was unwound, That he had hastily tied it up, the Major looked at Lenka And suddenly he did not recognize him.
It was as if he was the same, Calm and young, All the same eyes of a boy, But only ... completely gray-haired.
He hugged the major before leaving for the hospital: - Hold on, father: don't die twice in the world.
Nothing in life can knock us out of the saddle! Such a saying Now Lenka had ...
Here is a story About these glorious deeds On the Middle Peninsula Was told to me.
