"EXPERTS" DISCOVERED "NON-VERBAL EXTREMISM" IN V. VASNETSOV'S PICTURE
Kirov region: 2010-03-16 08:43:50
The details of the criminal case under article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation against the Rodnover Alexei Dobrovolsky ("Doboslav") have become known.
The "experts" of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of the Kirov Institute for Advanced Studies and Retraining of Educational Workers drew the following absurd conclusion regarding the painting by Viktor Mikhailovich VASNETSOV "Meeting Oleg with the magician", 1899, depicted on the cover of the work "Dobroslav" "Magi":
"Signs of manipulative psychological influence were found in the brochure "Magi", verbal (verbal, speech) and non-verbal (non-verbal) means were used. in simple clothes: a long shirt, bast shoes, he just came out of the forest.In the description of the elder, the image of a pagan is read.The gesture of the elder’s hand in relation to the soldiers testifies to his command, the possession of a certain power over them.Based on the position that the cover of the book expresses its key idea, we can conclude that the author's desire for command, power over other people, focus on the struggle.
Thus, the picture of the great Russian artist was actually recognized as extremist. The work "Magi" was also included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials.
Meanwhile, Dobroslav's associates turned to the Rodnovers, as well as human rights activists, media representatives and just people with an active civic position with a call for the widest possible dissemination of information about this case in order to create a public outcry. They point to the absurdity of the accusations and the likelihood that the show trial of Dobroslav will be the beginning of a new round of repression.
And here is the "EXTREMISE PICTURE" itself:
How the prophetic Oleg is now going
Take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars*,
Their villages and fields for a violent raid
He doomed swords and fires;
With his retinue, in Constantinople armor,
The prince rides across the field on a faithful horse.
From the dark forest towards him
There is an inspired magician,
Submissive to Perun, the old man alone,
The promises of the future messenger,
In prayers and divination spent the whole century.
And Oleg drove up to the wise old man.

A cunning and cruel Viking, he came to Rus' as a mercenary, in order to eventually become one of the most Russian princes. great ruler, a great warrior, great sorcerer, with an iron hand he gathered the disunited Slavic tribes together. He conquered new lands, "revenged the foolish Khazars" and nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople, forcing the proud Byzantium to recognize Rus' as equal. He ruled for so long that many began to consider the prince not only Prophetic, but almost immortal, and his mysterious death inspired Pushkin to create poems that became unofficial anthem Russian army. It is with Prophetic Oleg that the golden era of Ancient Rus' begins - one of the strongest states in Europe, with which all neighbors had to reckon.
Song about the prophetic Oleg
How the prophetic Oleg is now going
Take revenge on the unreasonable Khazars,
Their villages and fields for a violent raid
He doomed swords and fires;
With his retinue, in Constantinople armor,
The prince rides across the field on a faithful horse.
From the dark forest towards him
There is an inspired magician,
Submissive to Perun, the old man alone,
The promises of the future messenger,
In prayers and divination spent the whole century.
And Oleg drove up to the wise old man.
"Tell me, sorcerer, favorite of the gods,
What will happen in my life?
And soon, to the delight of neighbors-enemies,
Will I cover myself with grave earth?
Tell me the whole truth, don't be afraid of me:
You will take a horse as a reward for anyone.
"Magi are not afraid of mighty lords,
And they do not need a princely gift;
Truthful and free is their prophetic language
And friendly with the will of heaven.
The coming years lurk in the mist;
But I see your lot on a bright forehead.
Now remember my word:
Glory to the Warrior is a joy;
Your name is glorified by victory;
Your shield is on the gates of Tsaregrad;
And the waves and the land are submissive to you;
The enemy is jealous of such a wondrous fate.
And the blue sea is a deceptive shaft
In the hours of fatal bad weather,
And a sling, and an arrow, and a crafty dagger
Spare the winner years ...
Under formidable armor you know no wounds;
An invisible guardian is given to the mighty.
Your horse is not afraid of dangerous labors;
He, sensing the master's will,
That meek stands under the arrows of enemies,
It rushes across the battlefield.
And the cold and cutting him nothing ...
But you will accept death from your horse.
Oleg chuckled - but the forehead
And the eyes were clouded with thought.
In silence, hand leaning on the saddle,
He dismounts from his horse, sullen;
AND true friend parting hand
And strokes and pats on the neck steep. "Farewell, my comrade, my faithful servant,
The time has come for us to part;
Now rest! no more footsteps
In your gilded stirrup.
Farewell, be comforted - but remember me.
You, fellow youths, take a horse,
Cover with a blanket, shaggy carpet;
Take me to my meadow by the bridle;
Bathe; feed with selected grain;
Drink spring water."
And the youths immediately departed with the horse,
And the prince brought another horse.
The prophetic Oleg feasts with the retinue
At the ringing of a cheerful glass.
And their curls are white as morning snow
Above the glorious head of the barrow...
They remember days gone by
And the battles where they fought together...
“Where is my friend? - said Oleg, -
Tell me, where is my zealous horse?
Are you healthy? Is his run still easy?
Is he still the same stormy, playful?
And listens to the answer: on a steep hill
He had long since passed into a sleepless sleep.
Mighty Oleg bowed his head
And he thinks: “What is fortune-telling?
Magician, you deceitful, mad old man!
I would despise your prediction!
My horse would carry me to this day."
And he wants to see the bones of the horse.
Here comes the mighty Oleg from the yard,
Igor and old guests are with him,
And they see - on a hill, near the banks of the Dnieper,
Noble bones lie;
The rains wash them, their dust falls asleep,
And the wind excites the feather grass above them.
The prince quietly stepped on the horse's skull
And he said: “Sleep, lonely friend!
Is yours old master survived you:
At the funeral feast, already close,
It's not you who will stain the feather grass under the ax
And drink my ashes with hot blood!
So that's where my death lurked!
The bone threatened me with death!”
From dead head grave snake,
Hissing, meanwhile crawled out;
Like a black ribbon wrapped around the legs,
And suddenly the stung prince cried out.
Ladles are circular, foaming, hissing
At the feast of the deplorable Oleg;
Prince Igor and Olga are sitting on a hill;
The squad is feasting at the shore;
Fighters commemorate past days
And the battles where they fought together.
In all pagan cultures, priests played an important role, serving as intermediaries between people and supernatural forces - spirits and deities. In pre-Christian Rus', such people were called Magi.
The Magi performed rituals associated with the worship of the Slavic gods, and it was also believed that they could find out the will of the gods and predict the future. Not surprisingly, they had enormous influence, including political.
The role of the Magi in pagan Rus'
Researchers Ivanov and Toporov believe that the word "sorcerer" itself has the same root as "hair". Magi wore long hair and beards, never cut their hair, for which they could be called "hairy" ("hairy"). It is also likely that the words “magic”, “magic”, that is, “witchcraft” originated from the “sorcerer”.
Magi participated in religious ceremonies, performed sacrifices, performed magical rituals, guessed, were engaged in healing. At the same time, they took quite high position in the state hierarchy: those in power often came to them for advice. We all know the legend of Prophetic Oleg, who, wishing to find out from the magician what would happen to him in life, heard in response a prediction of impending death from his own horse.
Magi in the period of Christianity
With the adoption of Christianity for the Magi, an unfavorable time has come. From now on, paganism was outlawed, and they could lose their status. This forced the Magi to take the side of the forces opposed to the Kyiv authorities.
So, in 1024, the Magi led an uprising in the Suzdal land. According to The Tale of Bygone Years, there was a drought that caused crop failure and famine. The Magi blamed the "older child" for this.
The situation escalated to the point that Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kiev arrived in the city to resolve the conflict: The rebellion is great and the famine is all over that country. Idosha along the Volzi all the people in the Bulgarians and brought live and tacos to live. Hearing Yaroslav the sorcerers come to Suzdal, having taken away the sorcerers, and they are shown to others, he said to the river: “God induces sin on every land with famine or pestilence, or a bucket or a different punishment, but a person knows nothing.”
According to the Soviet historian Tikhomirov, this event was a prime example the struggle of the lower strata of the population - the "younger child" against the "older" - the feudal lords and the nobility, while driving force the uprising, the researcher considers the peasants (smerds). As for the Magi, from his point of view, they personify the resistance to church authority.
Unlike his colleague, Dr. historical sciences Froyanov believes that in this case it was a conflict between the Magi and the local pagan leaders-elders: the former accused the latter of deliberately delaying the rain so that there would be no harvest. As for the arrival of Yaroslav the Wise, he arrived in Suzdal not at all in order to pacify the uprising, but on some business of his own.
In general, it is clear that the Magi were present here, but who is meant by the “older” and “younger” children and what role Prince Yaroslav played in this remains the subject of historical disputes.
A similar situation developed in 1071 in Novgorod. It is believed that the Novgorod uprising was provoked by several reasons: crop failure, people's dissatisfaction with the nobility and, finally, forced Christianization.
Here is what the Soviet historian Mavrodin writes about this in his book “Popular Uprisings in ancient Rus' XI-XIII centuries. ":" ... At the head of the smerds who rebelled against the "old child" were the Magi, who sought to use the anti-feudal uprising of the people to return to the former pre-Christian cults.
One way or another, during the reign of Prince Gleb Svyatoslavovich, a certain sorcerer appeared in Novgorod and began to prophesy and conduct "anti-Christian propaganda", pushing the people to kill the bishop.
The bishop, going out to the people in full vestments and with a cross, tried to reason with them, but he did not succeed. Then Prince Gleb stood up for him with his retinue. Since none of the people went over to the side of the bishop, the prince decided to take it by cunning and, going up to the sorcerer with an ax hidden under his cloak, asked: “Do you know what will happen tomorrow and what will happen until evening today?”
The Magus confirmed that he knew this. Then the prince asked: “Do you know what will happen to you today?” “I will do great miracles,” the troublemaker replied boastfully. Gleb suddenly pulled out an ax and cut the magician. After he fell dead, the people dispersed and the mutiny did not take place.
power struggle
There were other turmoils associated with the Magi in the 11th century. In particular, they were on the side of the Polotsk prince Bryachislav Izyaslavich against Kyiv prince Yaroslav the Wise, and also supported the son of Bryachislav, Vseslav of Polotsk, in the struggle for power in Kiev, who, according to the annals, was “born from sorcery”, and also possessed the skills of the Magi, such as werewolf, divination and delusion (apparently, there is in mind the ability to send trouble to people). True, Vseslav reigned in Kyiv for a short time - only seven months.
The Magi tried in every possible way to retain their lost power. The Tale of Bygone Years describes how, during the famine of 1071 in the Rostov land and Belozerye, the priests blamed the “best wives”, that is, the most noble women who supposedly hid food supplies, for its causes. Magicians miraculously got out from behind the backs of the accused "zhito, or fish, or squirrel." It is clear that this was a clever trick to demonstrate their magical abilities.
Froyanov believes that the performances of the Magi represented "a religious and everyday conflict between the community and its highest authorities."
The last mentions of the Magi as pagan priests are found in the Novgorod and Pskov chronicles of the 13th-14th centuries. Later in Rus', any healers, sorcerers, warlocks and carriers of various "heresies" began to be called that.
"Oleg's meeting with the magician"- watercolor by Viktor Vasnetsov. Written in 1899 as part of a series of illustrations for "The Song of the Prophetic Oleg" by A. S. Pushkin.
In the design of the poem, Vasnetsov borrowed motifs from the ancient Russian traditions of book design. In addition to the actual illustrations, Vasnetsov developed initial letters, compositions, screensavers. The cycle "The Song of the Prophetic Oleg" Vasnetsov had a significant impact on the development of Russian book illustration, in particular on Ivan Bilibin and the artists of the World of Art association.

Press reports about the alleged recognition of the illustration as extremist
According to some Russian media reports in March 2010, the picture was used in the design of the cover of the neo-pagan nationalist Alexei Dobrovolsky's book The Magi. On April 27, 2010, by decision of the Leninsky District Court of the city of Kirov, seven books by Dobrovolsky, including The Magi, were recognized as extremist materials. At the same time, some media indicated that the cover of the book was also recognized as extremist. The text of the examination, allegedly carried out by specialists from Kirov and Vladimir, was cited:
Signs of manipulative psychological influence were found in the brochure "Magi", verbal (verbal, speech) and non-verbal (non-verbal) means were used. Non-verbal manipulative influences include the design of the cover of The Magi, which depicts an old man pointing the direction of action to a detachment of soldiers. The elder is dressed in simple clothes: a long shirt, bast shoes, he just left the forest. the description of the elder reads the image of a pagan. The pointing gesture of the hand of the elder in relation to the soldiers testifies to his command, the possession of a certain power over them. Based on the position that the cover of the book expresses its key idea, we can conclude that the author's desire for command, power over other people, focus on the struggle.
The court verdict does not contain information about the recognition of Vasnetsov's painting extremist material. At the end of April 2011, the Leninsky District Court of Kirov issued denials declaring the painting as extremist and the artist as an extremist. According to various reports, psychologists from the Kirov Institute said that either the image on the cover was not considered extremist, or they did not conduct an examination at the request of the prosecutor's office.
