about the author

The childhood of the famous writer Valentin Rasputin passed in a small Siberian village. Entering the Irkutsk University, Rasputin immediately begins his creative activity. He works as a freelance reporter for a youth newspaper. At the same time, the first artistic essays of the young writer appear. In 1966, the first collection of Rasputin's stories appeared in print, and in 1974 - his story "Live and Remember".

One of the writer's most famous stories is "French Lessons". This is an autobiographical work dedicated to the time when little Valentine left his native village, where there was no school to start studying. The protagonist of the story is a little boy who becomes ill with anemia from malnutrition. He considers it beneath his dignity to accept help from a young French teacher. She goes to the trick - she invites the boy to take part in a game of chance and deliberately loses money to him. A poignant story teaches mercy, kindness, self-esteem.

The main characters of Rasputin's work are villagers. The story "Vasily and Vasilisa" tells of a bleak life in a Russian village. The head of the family drinks a lot and once, under the influence of alcohol, beats his pregnant wife. As a result, the woman lost her child. All his life, Vasily is tormented by remorse, and only on the verge of death does he receive forgiveness from his wife. The story shows what a terrible evil alcohol brings with it.

The story "Farewell to Matera" sings of the love of a Russian person for his land. The inhabitants of a small village have to leave their homes in connection with the construction of a hydroelectric power station. The work shows the deep feelings of people who have to leave the village where they grew up, where their relatives are buried.

Many works of Valentin Rasputin formed the basis of films and performances.

Third person narration. Lots of general remarks and publicistic comments. The narrative is also interrupted by flashbacks.

March. Ivan Petrovich - driver. He had just returned from work, tired. He is met by his wife Alena. Suddenly he hears people shouting: fire.

ORS warehouses are burning. Ivan Petrovich frantically thinks what to take with him to put out the fire. He takes an ax with him. “The Russian man has always been smart in hindsight, and he has always arranged himself in such a way that it is convenient to live and use, and not how it is more able and easier to protect yourself and save yourself. And here, when the settlement was set up hastily, and even more so, they didn’t think much: fleeing water, who thinks about fire?

Both parts of the warehouse are on fire: food and industrial. Ivan Petrovich immediately noticed that two reliable people led the spontaneous fight against fire: Afonya and Semyon Koltsov. Rasputin describes fire as a living being, the main property of which is greed and ferocity.

Leadership is gathering.

This village was built by the timber industry. It was built not for life, but for a while, until the next nomad camp. He will never become habitable. It has no trees, no gardens.

There is no construction of social facilities in the village, because nobody needs anything. While there is work - a tree, but in 3-4 years it will not remain, the workers will work on a rotational basis. There is no other work, all the fields were flooded during the construction of the hydroelectric power station.

Boris Timofeevich Vodnikov, head of the section, appears. Although he always quarrels with everyone, he knows how to lead, and you can rely on him.

Alena helps in extinguishing the fire no less than men: she saves some things.

Arkharovtsy - brigade of the organizational recruitment (hired non-local workers). They are the negative characters of the story.

Valya the storekeeper does not want to open a warehouse, because she is afraid that she will be sued if the property is stolen in a panic. Boris Timofeevich orders the Arkharovites to break down the warehouse. He is looking for the head of the ORS (warehouse), but remembers that he is at the next meeting. Ivan Petrovich advises to put a watchman and old Khampo in order to prevent looting.

Sashka the Ninth, one of the Arkharovites, tells the main character, stopping him in front of the fire: “Not here. Not here, legal citizen. You will burn - who will have the right to pump us ?! This is all their relationship. Arkharovtsy are carriers of camp concepts, representatives of the city, where everyone treats work as a duty, evading which is a worthy deed. Therefore, Ivan Petrovich is not loved for his adherence to principles. Rasputin's Arkharovites are an expression of the dark sides of civilization and progress.

Ivan Petrovich lived in the village of Yegorovka, and his last name is Yegorov. Fought as a tanker. People began to leave the village after the war - they knew about the flooding in advance. But Ivan Petrovich remained, although it was hard to look at the deserted village. He does not become a city dweller also because he marries Alena, his mother is ill. And brother Goshka, having left for the city, drank himself. In the end, he had to move to a new village - Sosnovka (where the events of the story take place). Ivan Petrovich thinks that he will have to move even now, although he does not want to at all.

Ivan Petrovich breaks into one of the food warehouses. Abundant food supplies, gradually destroyed by the chaos of panic and heat, are described in a threatening, hostile manner. Ivan Petrovich catches himself laughing: after all, there is always not enough food in all the timber industry enterprises, where does it come from so much here? “Manufactured goods warehouses were crying, Japanese blouses and native frying pans were crying - how much will remain there, in this inferno, in comparison with what was taken out ?! But the food warehouses, having let go of the right, could still be saved even now, if there were a car and a little more order. But the “fire engine”, the only one for the entire timber industry, was smashed for spare parts two years ago, it is only listed in service ... "

The author (or hero?) talks about the moment when life went awry. Everything changed when they started cutting down the forest. This is work that does not require a soul, this is the destruction of not only the forest, but also the person. Sosnovka began as a normal village: there was mutual assistance, people communicated with each other. But more and more “easy” people began to come, who did not want to acquire a household, but worked only for the sake of rest, food and drink. If earlier they drank, ashamed of it, now there are whole "teams" with their leaders. The social situation is deteriorating, crime is growing. The director of the school, Yuri Andreevich, calculated: as many villagers died during the war as died not by their own death in young Sosnovka.

In Sosnovka they don't like conscientious people. Forester Andrey Solodov once fined the timber industry for too high stumps, which caused a significant delay in wages. After that, his bath burned down and his horse disappeared. A similar attitude towards Ivan Petrovich. He tried to prove to the head of the section that the matter was not in the plan, but in people, in natural resources. But the boss has his own concerns and his bosses. Therefore, he has to give vodka to the workers at his own expense, so that they make a plan.

Ivan Petrovich lives in a world of absolute values ​​and is ready to defend them actively. But there is another position in life. Afonya Bronnikov, also from Yegorovka, also an honest man, says: “I think so: I work honestly, I live honestly, I don’t steal, I don’t trap - and that’s enough. Our job is to live right, to set an example with life, and not to drive with a stick into our flock. The stick will do no good." Obviously, Rasputin does not agree with this position. Through the mouth of Ivan Petrovich, he says: “But they were late, they were late with an example! Late!"

When the fire got close to the vodka, local residents and Arkharovtsy show miracles of organization: they pass the bottles along the chain, saving them and drinking along the way. Ivan Petrovich alone saves vegetable oil. Afonya drags him to save the flour. Someone screams, only waking up: “Goriiiiim!”

Rasputin describes the psychological drama in the soul of Ivan Petrovich. Life has changed. The values ​​of the hero are no longer perceived by society as absolute. But he cannot refuse them and cannot understand modernity.

Ivan Petrovich continues to save flour and sugar. He understands that it will not be possible to save everything, but there are no assistants. He starts breaking down the fence. And then, oddly enough, Sasha the Ninth comes to his aid.

Ivan Petrovich runs into Alena. They watch in horror as the remains of the manufactured goods warehouse are robbed.

They have been living with Alena for 32 years. 2 years ago, on their 30th wedding anniversary, they decided to visit their children, two daughters and a son. One daughter is a teacher in some village. The second daughter is in Irkutsk. The son is a pilot, in the village of Syrniki near Khabarovsk. Most of all Ivan Petrovich liked his son: the son looks after the house, grows apples, makes friends with neighbors, his wife's relatives. Therefore, when he invited his parents to move in with him, Ivan Petrovich agreed.

Sosnovka can no longer be saved. It all started with the arrival of the last brigade of Arkharovites a year ago. They are very close-knit and aggressive. Ivan Petrovich tried to put them in their place, but was almost killed (they wanted to set up an accident).

Alena worked in the library. Ivan Petrovich himself did not notice when, but his wife became an integral part of his own personality. Rasputin idealizes their relationship: complete mutual understanding. And on the issue of leaving, she had the same opinion: it was necessary to leave, but somehow she didn’t want to.

Ivan Petrovich is helped to carry the flour. But suddenly the assistants disappear. Occasionally, drunk Arkharovites appear, but they are no longer capable of anything. Ivan Petrovich and Afonya are working, as well as Panteleev. Soon there is no time left to take the bags away, they immediately throw them at the warehouse. Ivan Petrovich's eyes darken.

Uncle Misha Khampo has been paralyzed since childhood. His hand did not work, his speech was impaired. But “to understand each other, many words are not needed. It takes a lot to not understand. Everyone loved Hampo. He was industrious. His wife died a long time ago, he lived alone. He always worked as a watchman, almost for free - Rasputin puts a symbolic meaning into this: Khampo is the keeper of values. When the theft became established, even he, the most conscientious one, had to get used to it.

The life of Ivan Petrovich in Sosnovka loses its meaning. He cannot work only for prosperity. Work for him is the creation of something eternal. The moral foundations are destroyed, everything is mixed up: good and evil. Once Afonya asked Ivan Petrovich why he was leaving. Ivan Petrovich replied that he was tired. Afonya regrets: who will remain, what about Yegorovka? Ivan Petrovich wanted to answer that Yegorovka is in each of us. But Afonya had in mind only his bizarre idea to erect a monument to Yegorovka on the surface of the reservoir.

The stronger the fire, the more helpers. Flour manages to be saved, although almost all the participants got drunk. Valya the housekeeper yells about the fact that a lot has been stolen, and she must answer. Ivan Petrovich is already losing consciousness, he needs to rest. In a drunken stupor, the Arkharovites kill Khampo with a mallet, but Khampo manages to crush one of them (Sonya). There are two corpses.

Morning comes. Now there will be many commissions, the deserted ashes have been cordoned off. Ivan Petrovich goes to Athos with a question: what to do now? Afonya says: we will live. Ivan Petrovich agrees.

Ivan Petrovich goes to the spring forest to rest and calm down there. He feels the awakening of the earth and all nature. And he is waiting for the earth to show him where to go, a lost person.

Third person narration. Lots of general remarks and publicistic comments. The narrative is also interrupted by flashbacks.

The start of a fire

Ivan Petrovich, tired, was returning home. He had never been so tired, although today he did not overstrain, even without a cry, without a hassle. The "edge" just opened. Ivan Petrovich finally reached the house, and suddenly heard shouts: "Warehouses are burning!", "Fire!". The summary of the first chapter ends here.

At first he did not see the fire, but then he noticed that the warehouse buildings were burning. There has never been such a serious fire in the history of the village.

The warehouses were built in such a way, and it caught fire in such a place that everything burned down without a trace. Buildings diverged on the sides: industrial and food. The fire went along the roof to the food region, but the main inferno was in the industrial one.

Ivan Petrovich helps on the roof

When Ivan Petrovich walked through the warehouse yard, groups began to form only in two places. One was rolling the motorcycles off the cargo rack, the other was dismantling the roof in order to interrupt the fire. The main character climbed onto the roof, where Afonya Bronnikov commanded, who put him on the edge overlooking the courtyard. Ivan Petrovich began to tear off the boards. The guy sent for a crowbar returned and instead of a crowbar brought the news that they had rolled out the Ural, a burnt motorcycle.

The protagonist looked around, knocking out the last gap. The children ran wildly around the yard, screaming and rushing about figures at manufactured goods warehouses. But the authorities were already running. Approached the timber industry, the head of the site. This is discussed in the third chapter. The entire village fled, but no one has yet been found who could organize it into a single intelligent force that was able to stop the fire.

Meeting with Boris Timofeich

The protagonist jumped down and went to the place where he had just seen Boris Timofeich, the head of the section. He found him in the crowd by shouting, at the food warehouse. He asked Valya the storekeeper to open the doors of the warehouse. Rasputin (Fire) talks about this in the fifth chapter. The content of the work is presented briefly - we note only the main events. Valya disagreed. Boris Timofeich then shouted to the Arkharovites to break down the doors. And they began to break with pleasure. The protagonist offered Boris Timofeich to put Misha Khampo at the gate to guard him. The section chief did just that.

Memories of Yegorovka

The sixth chapter describes the memories of Yegorovka, the old village, which flooded over Ivan Petrovich. He left his village for a long time only once - during the war. The protagonist fought for two years, and for another year after the Russians won, he held the defense of Germany. He returned home in the autumn of 1946. And he did not recognize his village - it seemed to him deprived and nondescript. Here everything remained unchanged and seemed to have stopped forever. Soon he met Alena in a nearby village. When the collective farm received a new car, it turned out that, apart from him, there was no one to plant for it. And Ivan Petrovich began to work. Soon his mother took to her bed in a long and severe illness. The younger brother of the protagonist went to a construction site and drank himself with a lot of money. Ivan Petrovich decided to stay in Yegorovka. When it was flooded, all the inhabitants were taken to the new village. Six more of the same as his native village were brought here. The timber industry enterprise, which was named Sosnovka, immediately established itself here.

Ivan Petrovich entered the food warehouse

The summary continues. Rasputin describes the fire chapter by chapter in the work, interrupting it with the memories of the protagonist and his reflections. The seventh chapter tells us about the following. When Ivan Petrovich dropped into the last food depot, it was already in full swing here. It hummed terribly over the cracked ceiling. Near the wall, several ceiling planks were torn off, and the fire burst into the opening. Ivan Petrovich had never been inside the warehouses, and he was amazed at the abundance: dumplings were piled on the floor in a considerable mountain. Sausage circles lay nearby. The oil was in heavy cubes, and the red fish was in boxes. Ivan Petrovich thought about where all this had gone. Dancing from the heat and wrapping himself in a quilted jacket, the protagonist threw the circles of sausage to the door. Here, in the yard, someone picked them up and carried them somewhere. We turn to the eighth chapter, describing the summary ("Fire"). Rasputin in it describes how the fire grew stronger.

Relationship with Boris Timofeich

The heat became unbearable. It seems that no one extinguished more - they retreated. They only pulled out what could still be endured. The main character thought that the warehouses cannot be saved, but the store can be defended. Suddenly he saw Boris Timofeyitch. He quarreled with the archer. He interrupted the fight.

Ivan Petrovich once talked with the head of the section. Rasputin tells about this in the ninth chapter of the story "Fire". A summary of this conversation is as follows. Boris Timofeyitch started talking about the plan. And then the main character could not stand it: "It would be better if we lived without him!". In his opinion, it would be better to start a different plan - not just for cubic meters, "but for souls!", That is, it would take into account how many souls were lost in this case. The foreman disagreed with him. However, the main character was different. In it, as if under daily pressure, a spring was compressed and reached such a degree of elasticity that it became unbearable to withstand it. And then Ivan Petrovich began to talk, hating himself and terribly nervous, realizing that all this was in vain.

Ivan Petrovich helps to endure butter and flour

The fire continues. A summary of the chapters of the work of interest to us has already come to the tenth chapter. The fire was completely ousted from the first food warehouse. Now we have moved on to the second one. When Ivan Petrovich first dropped in here, it was already smoky and heated, but still bearable, without fire. It was also crowded here. Boxes of vodka were passed along the chain. The cries of Vali the storekeeper came from somewhere. She begged to be taken out of the building vegetable oil, which was in an iron barrel. Ivan Petrovich knocked her down with difficulty, but failed to roll out. Then he snatched someone out of the chain, and together they rolled out the barrel.

Ivan Petrovich returned for the second, but his partner returned to the chain. The protagonist noticed, trying to find him, that not only boxes are passed along the chain, but also opened bottles. And again Ivan Petrovich rolled out the barrel with the help of someone, but it turned out when they rolled it out that it was without a cork. A wriggling trail of oil led into the warehouse. Ivan Petrovich was told by Afonya Bronnikov that it was necessary to save the flour. Sugar was kept in a low building behind the third warehouse. There was also flour, which was dumped into a shapeless heap. Ivan Petrovich took the first bag that came across and carried it out. Together with Sasha the Ninth, he knocked down the fence connection and laid it down the slope on the road. This is how the bridge came about. After that, another one was torn off and laid next to it. The protagonist of the story "Fire" (Rasputin) decided to find Alena. The summary of the work continues with the protagonist's reflections on family life.

Ivan Petrovich thinks about the family

In the thirteenth chapter, he recalls how he and Alena celebrated the 30th anniversary of their life together two years ago. We went to see the children, taking a vacation. The eldest daughter lived in Irkutsk. She was in the hospital, where they did not stay long. His son Boris lived in Khabarovsk. He got married. The son and daughter-in-law asked their parents to move in with them, and Ivan Petrovich agreed. It became completely unbearable in the last year, when a new brigade of Arkharovites established itself in the timber industry. When they turned the front garden in front of the hut, Ivan Petrovich decided to write a letter of resignation. There was only one way out: to leave.

Misha Hampo

The events of the fifteenth chapter continue the summary ("Fire" by Rasputin consists of 19 chapters). The protagonist pulled the bag and carried it. At first there were about ten people who carried out the flour. But then only four of them remained: Ivan Petrovich, Savely, Afonya and some unfamiliar guy. After some time, Boris Timofeich also adjusted. The protagonist decided to take it in turn: either cereal or flour. When there was no strength left, he stopped near the building, which was the bathhouse of Savely. He carried sacks of flour into it. The main character also noticed an old woman picking up bottles from the yard - of course, not empty ones. Ivan Petrovich saw Misha Khampo in the middle of the yard. We have only described this hero in a few words, making up a summary. Rasputin's "Fire" is a work in which this character plays an important role. He was paralyzed from childhood and dragged his right hand with a whip. The only thing this man could say was "Hampo-o!". He lived alone, having buried his wife long ago. His nephew went to the North. Misha Khampo was a powerful force and used to do anything with his left hand. This man was a born watchman.

Reflections of Ivan Petrovich

The sixteenth chapter begins with the reflection of Ivan Petrovich, who began to think more and more meticulously and more often, deciding to move: what does a person need in order to live in peace? And he decided: work, prosperity, home. Afonya persuades him to stay, but Ivan Petrovich does not listen to him.

Death of Hampo and Sonya

Sacks were thrown out the door, and he dragged them to the fence. Ivan Petrovich was called by someone in a drunken voice, but he did not answer. Valentin Rasputin ("Fire") writes about this in chapter 17. Its summary continues with the fact that the men began to linger more and more often - in order to take a breath of air. The protagonist stood without feeling either his arms or legs.

They managed to get everything out of the last warehouse. Uncle Misha noticed how two people were playing with a ball of colored rags. And then the blow hit him. It was Sonya. Several Arkharovites beat him. When the protagonist saw that Hampo and Sonya were hugging each other in the snow, they were both already dead. The beater lay five meters away.

The final

The last two chapters (18 and 19) complete the summary. Rasputin's "fire" ends with the fact that the main character, having returned from the fire, did not even lie down. He just sat, looking out the window, seeing the smoke coming from the shore. The next day, the main character left the village. It seemed to him that he was entering loneliness, that the earth was silent, either meeting or seeing him off. Thus ends the story "Fire", a summary of which was presented in this article.

Brief biography (detailed)

Valentin Grigoryevich Rasputin is a Russian writer, prose writer, a representative of the so-called "village prose", as well as a Hero of Socialist Labor. Rasputin was born on March 15, 1937 into a peasant family in the village of Ust-Uda. He spent his childhood in the village of Atalanka (Irkutsk region), where he went to elementary school. He continued his studies 50 km from home, where the nearest secondary school was. About this period of study, he later wrote the story "French Lessons".

After graduating from school, the future writer entered the Faculty of History and Philology of Irkutsk University. As a student, he worked as a freelance correspondent for the university newspaper. One of his essays “I forgot to ask Lyoshka” attracted the attention of the editor. The same work was later published in the literary journal Siberia. After university, the writer worked for several years in the newspapers of Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk. In 1965, Vladimir Chivilikhin got acquainted with his works. The novice prose writer considered this writer to be his mentor. And from the classics, he especially appreciated Bunin and Dostoevsky.

Since 1966, Valentin Grigoryevich became a professional writer, and a year later he was enrolled in the Writers' Union of the USSR. In the same period, in Irkutsk, the first book of the writer "The Land near himself" was published. This was followed by the book "A Man from This World" and the story "Money for Mary", which was published in 1968 by the Moscow publishing house "Young Guard". The maturity and originality of the author manifested itself in the story "Deadline" (1970). Of great interest to the reader was the story "Fire" (1985).

In the last years of his life, he was more involved in social activities, but without breaking away from literature. So, in 2004, his book "Ivan's Daughter, Ivan's Mother" was published. Two years later, the third edition of the essays "Siberia, Siberia". In the writer's hometown, his works are included in the school curriculum for extracurricular reading.

The writer died on March 14, 2015 in Moscow, at the age of 77. He was buried in the Znamensky Monastery in Irkutsk.
