Absolutely good can be done by a terrible person. Volunteer's personal experience

Ivan Tolstoy: Having returned from a recent trip to America, I brought a recording of a conversation with an essayist, translator, and now also a school teacher Alexei Dmitriev. He is from St. Petersburg. I was interested in the fact that Alexey went this summer from Washington to Poland - along with his two daughters. All three became temporary volunteers. Their base turned out to be Przemysl, known in Russian historiography as Przemysl, an ancient city with a long dramatic history. nine0007

I decided to talk about Aleksey Dmitriev's impressions, naming our conversation "Pshemysl. Personal experience".

Alexey Dmitriev: For quite a long time, for a couple of months, we thought about how to make ourselves useful. Because this life, when you start watching the news in the morning, end the day watching the news, you feel helpless... We decided that humanitarian aid, volunteering will give us a way out of this vicious circle. And we quickly came to the Russians for Ukraine organization, which consists of Russians by origin, mostly living outside of Russia. nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: Excuse me, but who is "we"?

Alexey Dmitriev: This is me, my daughter Dora, who is 28 years old, and my daughter Isabella, who is 15 years old.

Ivan Tolstoy: And what did you intend to do? Did you want to move around in space, did you want to make deposits, collect clothes, organize some kind of rallies, print leaflets?

Alexey Dmitriev: Dora started before all of us, she began to give English lessons by zoom for Ukrainian refugees, who by this time were outside their country in different parts of Europe. Dora was also the first to host a fundraiser for refugees. Then summer came, vacation time, and it became clear that now we have time to go and work directly with the refugees. We drove to the small town of Przemysl in southeastern Poland, 14 kilometers from the Ukrainian-Polish border. Three or four trains a day arrive there from Ukraine - Kyiv, Lvov and two Odessa, in my opinion. They leave a large number of refugees who need further help. nine0007

Very often their itinerary was defined as follows: my neighbor's sister said that in Hamburg you can get a job

When the day began, and our day began at 5 am, because the first Kyiv train arrived at 5:03 (although it was usually a little delayed at customs), we never knew what would happen. Most often, these were requests for help to transfer to another train, quite often they were generally requests “where to go next?”, Because many of the refugees fled, not yet knowing where they would end up. And we either connected them with some humanitarian organizations that were represented in Poland at that time, or tried to understand where they want to go. Very often their itinerary was defined as follows: my neighbor's sister said that in Hamburg you can get a job. nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: What rights did you and your daughters have? Who were you attached to? How did you know to answer all these questions?

Aleksey Dmitriev: We were attached and worked under the umbrella of the organization Russians for Ukraine, we were based in a small town, practically the village of Medyka, which was a border pedestrian point, from there we went to the railway station in Przemysl. We were brought up to date by experienced volunteers, many of them were there for more than a month, we always had a connection via phone, via telegram with each other, if there was a problem, you could always find someone who would help. nine0007 Alexey Dmitriev.

Ivan Tolstoy: Did your leaders trust you? Did they rely on your experience, soundness, human ethics?

Alexey Dmitriev: I would not say that we had direct leaders, it is still a volunteer organization, and the administration, if you can call it that, dealt with specific issues of accommodating refugees, volunteers, feeding, receiving grants, transport for refugees. And we were left to our own devices, and that was the attraction of this job: you worked as much as you wanted, you could work five hours a day, or you could work twenty, sometimes we did. And there has never been a case when we could not help. nine0007

We could not answer any questions with "no", only "I will try to find out", "I will find out", "give me your contact where you can be found"

Before starting work, we were given a memorandum-memorandum, where in the first paragraph it was written that there should not be any balloons where the refugees are, because when they burst, people have an association, it reminds them of explosions and war. For the same reason, the second point there was that we could not come in camouflage uniforms, khakis, or in some kind of military uniform. One of the points was that we could not answer any question with "no", only "I will try to find out", "I will find out", "give me your contact where you can be found". nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: Very interesting what you say. I was just wondering if there's some kind of code that rhymes with what doctors call "do no harm". It turns out that all these things are thought out and psychological.

Alexey Dmitriev: We didn't ask them, this is also one of the rules. If they considered it necessary to tell us something - yes, we turned on. We were asked not to give any of our personal contacts: there were cases when they were used for other purposes, and most often the danger came from such emotional vampires who stuck and made it difficult even for our physical movement around the station. nine0007 Przemysl. Photo by Alexey Dmitriev.

Ivan Tolstoy: May I ask you to tell us about a few memorable incidents, vivid encounters, some remarks, an interesting human reaction, someone's grief?

Alexey Dmitriev: I often tell when people ask me, because this is a vivid example. This was the last family we helped before leaving Przemysl. Of the three children, two, a boy and a girl, were autistic. The autistic boy and his sister stayed on the platform with their luggage, while dad, mom and autistic boy came to buy a ticket to Vienna. There was a long line, which was normal when the Kyiv train comes. The boy from the fact that he was in the crowd felt uncomfortable and began to touch strangers. Parents could not do anything with him, and they had to leave from there. I went with them and offered to take them to the bus station, because I already knew that there were also buses to Vienna from there. nine0007

It wasn't far to go, but dad was middle-aged, overweight, it seems that he had some kind of problem with his legs, because he always lagged behind, walked slowly. We came to the bus station, dad began to talk to the cashier, the cashier spoke only Polish, my Polish and this dad’s Polish are about the same level, but because dad felt the need to be the head of the family and somehow dominate the conversation, he missed the information that came to him from the cashier, and he could not navigate and understand what buses are, how much they cost and when they leave. Mom figured it out much faster. nine0007 Photo by Irina Rau.

Dad held buns in his hands, which he took for free (we also distributed food), he dropped them, mom silently picked up one after another. Finally, dad realized that there were two options: a cheaper direct bus that takes seven hours, and a more expensive bus that goes with a transfer, but it leaves in two hours. And for obvious reasons, dad began to focus on a cheaper bus, and mom gently began to tell him that spending 7 or 8 hours at the station with two autistic children was not an option and it makes sense to go early. nine0007

Dad finally agreed, and then it turned out that they only had euros. He exchanged all his savings for euros, they did not have credit cards, and in Poland they do not accept euros, only zlotys. It was seven in the morning, the exchange office was still closed. It was a failure, but they knew that in an hour they would return, but for now, the bottom line is, we went to the platform, where the autistic girl was crying all this time, because she did not understand where her parents had gone, and her little brother reassured her. Mom began to hug her, dad began to thrust these meaningless doughnuts into her, thinking that this is what she needs. Here is such a story. nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: What did your volunteer work in Poland teach you as a human being?

It would seem - what is a dog leash, but for them at that moment it was a saving straw

Aleksey Dmitriev: This is the experience that I think I will be thinking about for years, and maybe until the end of my days. Most incredible was the delta between the objective value of what we did in normal life and what it meant to the refugees at that moment. For example, a woman got off the train, her dog chewed through the leash on the way. Two children, suitcases and this husky. And now they do not know what to do, they need to move on. And complete confusion. Since such cases have already happened, we had leashes in stock. I told them to wait a second, and when I returned five minutes later with a leash, it would seem - what is a leash - but for them at that moment it meant that they were on time for the next train, that they were leaving, that in them and so stressful it was a saving straw, which was very expensive. nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: How did your daughter react to everything she saw?

Aleksey Dmitriev: The youngest of my two daughters, 15 years old, does not speak Russian, so the first three days when she helped us, her Russian, Ukrainian and Polish mixed into one metalanguage , she learned to understand him quite well. She brought refugees to me and described their situation, but she could not help, she could not tell them anything. On the third day, she went to work for the British organization Khalsa aid, they rented a kitchen from a restaurant and prepared food there, which was distributed to refugees. And so she worked in the kitchen. There was such an international team, everyone spoke English, where she felt herself in her place. nine0007

Therefore, she, and maybe this is not so bad at the age of 15, was bypassed by the stories of grandmothers who were carried out of burning houses in Mariupol, she was bypassed by the story of a woman who had a stroke twenty years ago, completely recovered from it, and when they started bombing, the paralysis returned and her son and daughter-in-law could not carry her from the 6th floor. There were alarms six or seven times a day. She was sitting in her apartment, and around there were shelling and bombing. nine0007

We went with her to Auschwitz, and we can say that we went to distract ourselves

For the first three days we cried every night, we could not explain to ourselves why, and then, apparently, some kind of addiction sets in, a plateau, and when we finished working, the withdrawal began. When we arrived in Krakow, we could not understand why all people live a normal life, sit in restaurants, have fun ... Did they really not know what was happening in Przemysl, what kind of people come there, what they went through. Dora could not understand how she could return to America and continue to do interior design, decorating the homes of wealthy people after what she had just seen. We went with her to Auschwitz and, we can say that we went to distract ourselves. nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: Distracted?

Aleksey Dmitriev: Yes, Auschwitz did not make such an impression as visiting the museum in the former Schindler's factory in Krakow, because in Auschwitz everything starts with the arrival of the echelon, and in Schindler's factory the exposition is built in such a way that everything starts from the period between the First and Second World Wars - how the Jews lived in Krakow, how the Germans later came, how the ghetto was then created, how it was liquidated, how then people were sent to camps. nine0007 Note. Photo by Alexey Dmitriev.

I have been to many places dedicated to the Holocaust, but this place made a strong impression on me. And I am one hundred percent sure that this is because of the subconscious parallels that I drew with what I saw in the museum about what was done to the Krakow Jews, and with what I saw with refugees from Ukraine.

Ivan Tolstoy: How do you feel the motivation of those refugees who decide to stay in Western Europe, and those who decide to return to Ukraine despite the fact that the war continues there? nine0007

Alexey Dmitriev: Now these two streams are about the same, I won't be surprised, we are talking about the end of August, now, probably, after the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the people have risen and rushed back. But people sit to the last. This is usually shelling, the death of a loved one or a loved one, some kind of destruction that radically changes the way of their existence. I think that now they will travel more towards winter, because people cannot live without windows, without water, without heating. But we must understand that this is not February, March or April, and among those who are leaving Ukraine now, there are many who I would call migrants, these are not refugees. Migrants are those who take advantage of the situation to change their lives for the better. Now this does not work anymore, but the open arms of several European countries gave people reason to think that why should they sit at home when they can live for free, they will be fed for free. There were also cases when they rented out their housing in Lvov or Chernivtsi to those who fled from Donetsk and from the east. nine0007

Many have set the ride back and forth on a fairly wide foot

Many, including the Carpathian and Transcarpathian gypsies, put the ride back and forth on a rather grand scale, because in order to receive financial benefits, one had to appear in person. They came to a European country, received it, returned to their place, spent this money or bought something and brought it back. In general, they improved their condition economically. Very well, the difference between migrants and refugees was visible in their approach to receiving humanitarian assistance. Those people who were seriously shaken, who fled in a hurry, they cautiously accepted what they were given, they said: "But nothing? But you can take it, right?" That is, for them, a sandwich or a change of linen after what they endured, it was so significant that they asked again if they could really take it. While the migrants themselves said: we know what is due to us, what is due to us, come on, take it out and put it down! nine0007

Ivan Tolstoy: What about the motivation of those who want to return?

Aleksey Dmitriev: Very often these are people who need to make documents, who left, say, with an internal passport. It was possible to leave with an internal Ukrainian passport, but now they require a biometric passport. This is a disorder - they did not triple in Europe in a new place, they were uncomfortable, maybe their visa-free period had expired, which is 90 days, and if they did not receive a residence permit in Europe, then they should return. Many simply said that they missed home very much, many were afraid for the safety of their property because of looting, no matter which side - Ukrainians or Russians. nine0007 Ukrainian-Polish border.

Ivan Tolstoy: Alexey, it happens that a person who wants to help someone in need has his own motivation. Maybe it’s not even on the surface, but hidden a little under a snag. Did you have any motivation to help Ukrainians in need?

Alexey Dmitriev: Great question. To begin with, already there I realized that if I had been Hutus, Tutsis or Syrians in their place, I probably would not have gone. For me, cultural commonality was of great importance, that I could understand them. And then I even began to think that if the Russians were in their place, if, God forbid, all this somehow turns upside down in an unthinkable way, I would have the same desire to help. nine0007

And I also realized that they don't give a damn about my motivation, what matters to them is what I can do for them there, at this moment, in these specific circumstances. They don’t care what happens to me, they don’t care if I came because I’m looking for thrills, that I’m collecting material for an article, that some demons live inside me that pushed me to this. Absolute good can be done by a very bad person - this is the conclusion that I came to for myself. Before that, I thought that a volunteer is someone who kisses a person who is in agony on the lips, that it must be an absolutely perfect, crystal, pure, wonderful person. Nothing like this. Absolute good can be done by a terrible person. nine0007

Cinderella (semi-stage performance)

The action takes place in Salerno in the 18th century.
Baron Don Magnifico has two daughters, Clorinda and Thisba, and a stepdaughter, Angelina, nicknamed Cinderella. The stepfather took away her inheritance from Cinderella, in his house she is treated with disdain, like a servant.

Act one
Morning at Don Magnifico's house . While Clorinda and Thisbe are spinning in front of the mirror, admiring their grace and beauty of their outfits, Cinderella, as always, is busy with the housework, singing a sad song. nine0213 A knock is heard at the door. It was Alidoro, tutor of Prince Ramiro. Disguised as a beggar, he is looking for a worthy bride for his pupil. To the beggar's requests for alms, Clorinda and Thisbe respond with rudeness. Cinderella offers the wanderer bread and coffee. Alidoro is sincerely touched by the kindness of the girl.
Heralds suddenly appear, saying that Prince Ramiro is going to get married and will soon arrive here to invite Don Magnifico and his daughters to a ball where he will choose his future wife. Clorinda and Thisbe are thrilled and delighted, each hoping to win the prince's heart. Don Magnifico himself is extremely happy: if Prince Ramiro chooses one of his daughters, he will be able to improve his shaky affairs and become, moreover, a noble nobleman. An unimaginable fuss begins in the house - Clorinda and Thisba are going to the ball. nine0213 Meanwhile, Ramiro, having learned from the faithful Alidoro that Don Magnifico's stepdaughter is a sweet and kind girl, comes to the baron's house, having previously changed into the dress of his valet Dandini. He decides to see for himself everything and at the same time experience the feelings of Cinderella. There is an explanation of Cinderella and the prince. Don Ramiro, having listened to the sad story of the girl, is subdued by her charm, kindness and nobility.
Following Prince Ramiro in disguise, on the threshold of the house, accompanied by his retinue, Dandini appears in a luxurious outfit, posing as a prince. In feigned admiration, bursting with compliments, he asks Don Magnifico and his daughters to come to today's ball. Cinderella also really wants to attend the ball and asks her stepfather to take her with him. But Don Magnifico is implacable. He explains to those present that Cinderella is not his daughter, but just a simple servant, moreover, rootless. Cinderella insists on her rights. Then the enraged Don Magnifico begins to threaten and at the same time invents a "touching" story about the untimely death of the third daughter. nine0213 When everyone goes to the ball, Alidoro, comforting the desperate Cinderella, promises to take her to the prince's palace and at the same time take care of her outfit and jewelry.

Palace of Prince Ramiro . Dandini, still disguised as a prince, in a luxurious study tells the owner about the depravity, hopeless stupidity and emptiness of both daughters of Don Magnifico and offers to refuse the choice of a bride. Meanwhile, rival sisters appear. With all their might, they try to please the imaginary prince, flirting and flirting with him. But Dandini reasonably notices that he cannot become the husband of both sisters at the same time, and offers a choice: if one of them gives in, then for the other there will be a worthy contender - the servant of Prince Ramiro. The proposal is met with indignation by both sisters. nine0213 Meanwhile, the ball is in full swing. Unexpectedly, they report the arrival of an unfamiliar lady, who is introduced into the hall by Alidoro. This is a transformed Cinderella. Elegant dress, jewelry made her unrecognizable and irresistibly beautiful. The lady is immediately surrounded by a crowd of gentlemen. The beauty of the lady, for some reason very similar to Cinderella, arouses the envy of Clorinda and Thisba and the rage of Don Magnifico. And yet the sisters do not despair, they are sure of their victory: the “prince” (disguised as Dandini), although he drew attention to the mysterious stranger, nevertheless did not stop lavishing compliments on the beauty of Clorinda and Thisba for a minute. nine0213 Guests are invited to the table. After dinner, a performance should take place, then dances and the choice of the bride.

Second act
The "prince's servant" appears in the living room - Ramiro in disguise. He is seriously alarmed: it seems that Dandini, a genuine servant, is also in love with Cinderella. Seeing Dandini and Cinderella approaching, Prince Ramiro hides and secretly watches them.
Dandini confesses his feelings to Cinderella. Cinderella doesn't know that Dandini is not a prince, but just a servant in disguise. And yet she rejects his courtship, for her heart belongs to another: her chosen one is a humble servant of the prince. Prince Ramiro, who heard everything, is full of jubilation. Now Cinderella is going to test her lover's feelings. She gives him a bracelet: if Ramiro loves her, then with such a bracelet he will find Cinderella. Without explaining anything more, the mysterious stranger leaves the palace. nine0213 Prince Ramiro orders everyone to look for her. Faithful Alidoro has already come up with a trick, thanks to which a "chance meeting" of lovers should take place: the prince's carriage will fall apart right in front of Don Magnifico's house.
At this time, Don Magnifico himself, not knowing anything about what happened, insistently asks the "prince" - Dandini - to name the chosen one of the heart. In response, Dandini only laughs, revealing his true face. There is a scandalous scene of explanation. Realizing at last how he had been fooled, Don Magnifico becomes furious. Dandini points the angry Baron to the door. nine0213 Don Magnifico's house again. The angry owner and the upset daughters return. Seeing Cinderella sitting, as always, in a dark corner, they continue to speculate about the mysterious lady who appeared at the prince's ball.
A thunderstorm is starting. Through the sound of rain and thunder, there is a knock on the door. Dandini enters the house. Already as a servant of the prince, he reports that Prince Ramiro's carriage broke down at the baron's house. Following Dandini, Ramiro appears on the threshold in his real form. Seeing the treasured bracelet on Cinderella's hand, he declares her his bride. The future spouses leave the house of Don Magnifico. nine0213 Clorinda and Thisba are desperate. Alidoro advises them to ask for forgiveness from their half-sister: knowing Cinderella's kind heart, he is sure that she will forgive them.

Gioacchino Rossini wrote Cinderella at the age of twenty-five, which was his twentieth opera. It is clear that with such extreme performance, finding stories became a difficult task, because it was also necessary to bypass censorship. Two days before Christmas 1816, Rossini, his librettist Jacopo Ferretti, and impresario Domenico Barbaia brainstormed suitable operatic subjects. About three dozen options proposed by Ferretti were rejected by the co-authors, until Cinderella finally came to mind. The draft libretto was written in one night, the music in less than a month; the premiere took place the following Christmas, 1817, at the Roman Theater of Valle. The fate of the opera and the fate of its heroine rhyme with each other: at first underestimated, Cinderella later delighted and conquered the whole world. Nevertheless, "live" performance of this music remains a rarity: only virtuosos of the highest class can sing "Cinderella" with its crazy tempos and mind-blowing passages. nine0007

Although the libretto of Cinderella goes back (indirectly) to the fairy tale by Charles Perrault (1697), it cannot be called a fairy tale opera. The theater of Valle, for which this work was written, did not have sophisticated machinery, and it was simply impossible to beautifully turn a pumpkin into a carriage, and mice into horses. There is no story with a crystal slipper in the opera either, since the scene of trying on a shoe in Rossini's time was perceived as obscene. The librettist replaced the stepmother with a stepfather, the godmother with a wise mentor. Rossini's Cinderella is first and foremost a magnificent Italian buffa opera with disguises, a dazzling musical garland of arias, ensembles, choirs and symphonic fragments with recitatives in between. But the composer did not limit himself to the comic genre, and if Don Magnifico and Dandini are purely buffoonish characters, then Ramiro (the prince) and Angelina (Cinderella) sing in the language of a “serious” opera: their feelings are high and noble. Contrary to the operatic "standard", Rossini gave the title role not to a soprano, but to a mezzo-soprano, and an extremely rare coloratura! At the Mariinsky Theatre, Cinderella is staged in the Concert Hall; The “semi-stage nature” of this performance does not interfere with its bright theatricality - primarily due to the brilliant acting of young artists.
