Suvorov porridge
How often we meet here today at VO in the comments that there is no patriotic education in schools, that veterans are left to their own devices, that traditions are forgotten, the village is dying, the youth are not the same, and everything is about the same. I would like to ask the authors of such “discoveries”: when were you at school the last time? And within the walls of any higher education institution? And just to be somewhere anywhere today is not necessary. It is enough to look into the Internet ... That is, if we can talk about the shortcomings in such work, it is only on the basis of comparison that what was, what is, worse is better. What is and what can be. Denying everything that is really being done is simply a manifestation of a stupid mind. However, why be surprised. It has long been said that under democracy, the thinking of most of the population is characterized by a hysterical scenario of behavior, and a complete lack of the ability to comprehend information in a non-standard situation. Can't believe it? And you reread the headings of 80% of the materials on the pages of websites and onlineNews. Everything is just for this type of behavioral moods and done. In fact, in reality, this is far from being the case, but let this material about ... “Suvorov porridge” serve as an example.
All who came to the festival were given booklets telling about the connection between Suvorov and the village of Marovka.
This name has ... a festival that has already been held for the fifth time in the Penza Region, in the Luninsky District, in the village of Suvorovo. And it was like this that the chairman of our Penza public organization “Suvorovets” Oleg Sidorenko called me and offered to go to this festival, to see, because “it will be interesting”. The morning of May 19 was sunny, the apple trees were in bloom, I found my bus in the square in front of the train station and the journey began. Immediately noted that veterans of the front and rear were traveling in a large tourist bus and there were a lot of them. It turns out that there is a project “Children of War” and these “children” were also invited to attend this event, and they went on it as active participants - they brought their own porridge (!) With them, and even prepared to speak on it! Here the girls-volunteers from the organization “Young Guard” rode and I was very pleased that they were led by a master student from our department “Philosophy and Social Communications”. That's right, then we taught him that he knows in which direction and where to go ...
The booth located here also informed about the same.
On the way I looked out the window. I love to look out of the bus window and once again was glad that there are fewer and more nasty wooden shanties, and more beautiful modern mansions. Entire villages from the same comfortable houses. A shop, a pharmacy and even ... a notary's office are all you need for life, including a hair salon with nail extensions! Do not believe? Take a ride on the highway from Penza to Lunino - see for yourself!
And here he is a bust, standing here. Interestingly, for some reason the face of the commander looks at the half-ruined church, which he also laid.
Well, as we arrived at the place, it became quite interesting. On the hill near the old dilapidated church - the whole "flock" of buses. Below are tents, tents, stands ... The field kitchen is smoking, and people, purely visually, well, just a lot.
Local enthusiasts ... They are a bit “burdened”, of course, but “from the heart”.
Seated our veterans and children of war on the benches and started. It turns out that this festival was dedicated to the 217 anniversary of the death of the great commander Alexander Suvorov, whose family estate is located on Luninsky land, but this very ruined church was built with the money of Alexander Vasilyevich. I will not repeat who Suvorov is and what he glorified Russia with, but it is imperative to tell how he is connected with the Penza land.
One of our veterans, a local historian, is speaking, author of many articles about Suvorov, proving that he was born here, in Marovka!
This very village of Suvorovo was actually once called Marovka and existed for a very long time, which was before the Great Nogai rout, when, judging by the documents, the Nogais and yards in it burned and completely stole people. Then the emperor Peter the Great himself became the godfather of the newborn Vasily, the father of the future commander, and presented this very village to the godson. The birthplace has not been established for certain and most researchers are inclined to believe that he was born in Moscow. However, everything indicates that he was born right here in Marovka. And although all this evidence is indirect, there is a lot of it. That is, it is much more reasonable to consider that Suvorov not only spent his childhood in this village, but was also born here, because then he took the nurse from here! In general, a whole series of Penza historians uphold this point of view and ... who knows, maybe this is really so. And if this is so, then this certainly needs to be used: put up a monument worthy of the commander’s importance in Penza, a monument in Marovka, restore his manor house here, and turn it into a museum, create a club historical reconstruction of Suvorov’s times, firing from real cannons, learning to shoot from flintlock fuseys, that is, like that — directly and directly familiarizing yourself with your history, knowing it, using it to educate patriotism and ... developing a tourism business on all this, why not ?!
Dance Luninskogo boys. See how they try!
In any case, Oleg Sidorenko was already in the Duma, and in other places, and this idea of his is finding more and more supporters. In any case, it is possible to start something from the monument, and then money will gradually be found there for everything else.
According to archive data, Suvorov himself was in Marovka in 1768, 1769, 1775, 1791, and shortly before his death in 1800! In 1791 - 1793 at the expense of the commander, the stone church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was laid here, and Alexander Vasilyevich was present at its founding. In total, he built 20 churches, but only two stone. Moreover, it is interesting that Suvorov, having a beautiful and powerful voice and well knowing the sacred canon, often removed the priest and led the service himself - that's how!
Very interesting story about the piety of Suvorov ...
However, the inhabitants of Marovka, alas, failed to preserve the Suvorov heritage. Suvorov's house burned down in 1864, and a beautiful bust, the work of N.I. Rukavishnikov, with a fence of 16 copper cannons and cast iron chains, more than 40 meters long, was demolished in 1920 year. After all, who then was Suvorov? None other than the royal satrap!
In fact, I do not like to illustrate articles with my own photos. But this can not give. What a colorful father, is not it? Immediately it is clear that God treats him well!
However, when the enemy once again knocked at the gates of Moscow, Suvorov, like other heroes of the historical past of Tsarist Russia, was needed again. And Suvorov appeared not only on posters, but also on monuments. 7 November 1942 in the village put a new bust of the commander, existing until now.
Spill the ear!
As for the festival itself, I personally liked it with my own ... unorganized! The speakers, in general, followed the time, and when they "started talking", they did not hesitate to indicate this. There was a ceremonial presentation of commemorative breastplates, which the chairman of the Russian Peace Foundation in the framework of the project “Children of War” presented to the Luninsky veterans, and amateur performance numbers. They attended the day of local schools, cadets, college students, and there were a lot of them! This is your education! Children learned to think that old people should be respected, that singing and dancing for them is right, that they deserve it. All right on Confucius, who said that if a person is trained in how to act, he will always behave with dignity.
And this is how today this memorial stone church, founded by I.V. Suvorov. I don’t know what the Soviet years were in her, but they just brought her to an ugly state. The bell tower leaned, though not very noticeably, so now it is akin to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. On the left, under the blue roof of a modern chapel building. Pay attention to the unusual dome, folded according to the “false arch” technology.
And this is how the dome looks from the inside.
If this church is rebuilt, then it’s just a lot of work to put in, and most importantly, straighten the bell tower!
In general, the “solemn part” was not tightened, which often results in “officialdom”. And it is very important when we are dealing with the elderly. After all, to sit in the heat and enjoy it is not only pleasant, it is also a bit hard.
"Presentation of cereals!"
Well, and then it came to porridge. Suvorov said that “only the well-fed will win,” therefore the main highlight of this festival is the tasting of cereals, prepared according to old Russian recipes, and brought here to Suvorovo from different villages of the Luninsky district. They were represented by women in bright colorful costumes, with jokes, jokes, songs, and even in verses. Of course, some porridges during the waiting period were “cold”, but there was also a lot of hot food, because the field kitchen was brought with good reason and everyone who wanted to have a hot meal was immediately poured on combustible ear from carp and fed with crumbly buckwheat porridge with meat and pilaf. And there was also tea from a samovar and all sorts of herbal drinks - in a word “I don't want to eat”.
In the photo the monument to Suvorov is photographed ... a black woman. And it is indicative, by the way.
Well, and then the festival ended, all were seated on buses, and then the veterans were also taken home, and the “young guard” girls accompanied them. That's the way it should, by the way. Everything is right on the slogan: "Nobody is forgotten and nothing is forgotten." Oh, no scale? Well, let it not. Until. But let it be already that which is: here you have a “cucumber festival”, here Dymkovo toys, and here - “Suvorov porridge”! Let it be all on the ground and in large numbers, and let it be from the heart, and not by someone's order from the "top" ...
Very beautiful children's dance and costumes are wonderful. And what antennae ?!
"At the samovar, I and my Masha"! How without a samovar?
P.S. As for the name “Suvorov porridge”, its legendary history is as follows: during the Swiss campaign of Suvorov, the soldiers gathered in a common pot everything they had in their bags - who had an onion, who had carrots, and who had a few cereals. All this was cooked in one pot and it turned out very well.
"Suvorov Porridge"
Ingredients:
Onion - 5 - 7
Carrots - 3 - 4 pieces;
Millet - ½ cup;
Pearl barley - 1 / 2 glass;
Dry peas - 1 / 2 glass;
Vegetable oil - 1 / 2 glass.
Preparation:
Peel and chop carrots and onions, fry in vegetable oil for 15 minutes. Millet, pearl barley, rinse peas. Take a pan with a thick bottom, smear the walls and bottom with vegetable oil, put in it two thirds of the vegetable mixture, all the cereals, add three glasses of water and put the remaining vegetables. Bring to a boil, salt and cook over low heat until cooked. Wrap the pot with the finished porridge in several towels, put in a warm place and after an hour can be served at the table!
There is another recipe according to which buckwheat is first fried in a pan and put into the pot - up to half the volume (one cup of cereal). While the cereal is still hot, it is mixed with 100 grams of butter and salt. After the butter is completely dissolved, two cups of boiling water are poured into the pot, then put into the Russian stove (or oven) for about two hours at 180 degrees. The pot is covered with a saucer with water, and water is constantly poured into it, as otherwise the porridge will burn. Finished steep buckwheat porridge is served on the table with butter, melted lard, cracklings and onions.
But I took this photo in another village on the way back, and it is very indicative, as it best illustrates the situation of modern Russia. Half of them have already been restored and are working, and over half still have to work !!!
