Long-term observation of frog development in a dhow. Summary of a lesson on speech development “Observing a frog”
In the fall of 1919, Andrei Startsov arrived from the Mordovian city of Semidol to Petrograd. He was mobilized into the army and arrived at his duty station. But instead of the expected sending to the front, Andrei is left as a clerk at the headquarters. Soon Rita, the woman with whom he was close in Semidol and who is now expecting a child from him, comes to him.
At the same time, in Moscow, a man calling himself Corporal Konrad Stein appears in the German Council of Soldiers' Deputies. He wants to return to his homeland, Germany. Checking Stein's documents, the employee wonders if he knows a certain von zur Mühlen-Schönau. Sensing something was wrong, the imaginary Konrad Stein disappears unnoticed. He makes his way to Petrograd and, finding his old acquaintance Andrei Startsov there, asks for help returning to Germany. Meeting this man makes Andrey think: “If only I could start living all over again. Roll out a ball, follow the thread until the damned hour and do differently.”
Student Andrei Startsov met in 1914 in Germany, in Nuremberg. He was friends with the artist Kurt Van, a person spiritually close to him. Creative destiny It was not easy for Kurt: he was forced to give his paintings to the collection of Margrave von zur Mühlen-Schönau, who paid him generously - with the condition that the artist would never exhibit his work. Kurt hated the “do-gooder.” Upon learning of the outbreak of the First World War, Kurt recoiled from his bosom friend Andrei, saying that now they have nothing to talk about. Andrei was exiled to the town of Bischofsberg. From the beginning of the war, he felt like “a speck among the huge masses of moving machine-like inevitabilities.” In the burgher Bischofsberg he was overcome by melancholy.
Marie Urbach was born in a villa near Bischofsberg, next to the family castle of the Margraves von zur Mühlen-Schönau. The marriage of her parents was considered a misalliance: her mother came from an old von Freuleben family, her father was a landowner and spent his time drawing incomprehensible projects. Marie Urbach grew up a strange girl. Her appearance in a peasant's yard or near a village church was always a harbinger of misfortune. Once Marie killed a goose with her own hands, another time she tried to hang a cat to watch how it would die. Besides, she was a ringleader dangerous games– for example, searching for treasure in the dungeons of a neighboring castle. With her older brother Heinrich-Adolf, a born aristocrat, Marie lived separately and hostilely. Mother did not like Marie for her disgusting tricks. After the story with the cat, she insisted that the girl be sent to Miss Roni's boarding school in Weimar. Shortly before her departure, Marie met her neighbor, Junker von zur Mühlen-Schönau.
The morals in the boarding house were strict. Miss Roney listened suspiciously even to conversations about plant pollination in science class. Her educational system was recognized by society and high society as impeccable. Once at the boarding house, Marie felt as if she was being put into an iron corset; she had to obey.
Two years later, Marie met a young lieutenant von zur Mühlen-Schönau on the streets of Weimar. The lieutenant took the girl by the arm, and, despite Miss Roney's loud indignation, Marie left with him. She was missing for three days. After this, Lieutenant von zur Mühlen-Schönau came with her to Villa Urbach and proposed in the presence of her parents. The engagement was to take place two years later, in 1916, when Marie reached adulthood.
During the war, Marie Urbach's mother was the patroness of a nutrition center at the station. Marie helped her mother. After two years of war, she felt that she was bored. One day, while walking in the vicinity of Bischofsberg, she met the exiled Andrei Startsov. Soon Marie began secretly coming to his room. Of everything they talked about at night, Andrei and Marie only remembered that they loved each other.
Before sending to eastern front Margrave von zur Mühlen-Schönau stopped at home to see his bride. But Marie greeted him coldly. At this time, she was busy planning an escape for Andrei. Trying to cross the border, Andrei went out into the park of Schönau Castle, where he was captured by the margrave. In the castle, Andrei saw paintings by his friend Kurt Van. After talking about German art and human destiny von zur Mühlen-Schönau wrote Startsov a document confirming that the exile had not been on the run for several days, but in Schönau Castle. Marie learned about the margrave’s noble deed, but did not tell Andrei about her relationship with him. Soon von zur Mühlen-Schönau was captured by the Russians. In 1918, the German authorities announced to Startsov that he could return to Russia. When leaving, he promised to call Marie as soon as he was in his homeland. While waiting for news from Andrei, Marie took part in organizing the soldiers' council in Bischofsberg and helped Russian prisoners.
In Moscow, Andrei met Kurt Van, who became a Bolshevik. Kurt was going to Mordovia, to the city of Semidol, to evacuate German prisoners and form a soldiers’ council among them. Andrey went with him. In Semidol he met the chairman of the executive committee Semyon Golosov, clerk Rita Tveretskaya, and chairman of the special department Pokisen. Golosov often scolded Startsov for his intellectual attempts to reconcile the ideal with the real. Rita Tveretskaya fell in love with Andrey.
The peasants of the village of Starye Ruchi, Semidolsky district, demanded the abolition of food appropriation. A detachment of former German prisoners under the command of von zur Mühlen-Schönau came to their aid. The soldiers of the Semidolsk garrison brutally suppressed the peasant uprising and hanged a disabled man, who was considered the instigator. Andrei managed to persuade the majority of captured Germans to go over to the side of the Bolsheviks. Among the prisoners assigned to be sent to Germany, he recognized the disguised Margrave von zur Mühlen-Schönau, who was wanted by the authorities. The Margrave asked Startsov for help. After much hesitation, Andrei stole documents for him in the name of Konrad Stein and asked him to deliver the letter to his fiancée Marie Urbach upon his arrival in Bischofsbeer. The Margrave promised to do this, hiding from Andrei that Marie was his bride.
Returning to Bischofsberg, von zur Mühlen-Schönau destroys the paintings of Kurt Van that he collected. Having met with Marie, he tells her that Startsov has a wife expecting a child. Not believing this, Marie decides to go to Russia. To gain entry rights, she marries a Russian soldier. The Margrave writes to Andrey about all this. Arriving at her fiancé in Moscow, Marie sees pregnant Rita and runs away.
Andrei is in despair, he realizes that life has not accepted him, despite all his efforts to be at the center of the main events. He can no longer stay in revolutionary Russia and wants to go to Germany, to Marie. Andrei turns to Kurt Van for help and honestly tells him the whole story with the margrave and the fake documents. Imbued with hatred for former friend, Kurt Wang kills him. Shortly before his death, Andrei writes to Marie that all his life he tried to make everything in the world happen around him, but he was always washed away, carried aside. And people who only wanted to eat and drink were always in the center of the circle. “My fault is that I am not wiry,” he concludes his letter.
