Vladimir Ivanovich Dal
1000 Russian proverbs and sayings
Proverb is not judged
Vladimir Ivanovich Dal is known to a wide circle of readers primarily as the creator of the famous "Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language" - the richest treasury of the Russian word.
Dahl's no less remarkable work is his collection Proverbs of the Russian People, which includes more than thirty thousand proverbs, sayings and well-aimed words.
The origin of the great scientist is amazing, although in those distant times many Europeans - Germans, French, Scandinavians - considered it good to go to the service of the Russian Tsar and the new fatherland.
Writer, ethnographer, linguist, doctor, Vladimir Ivanovich Dal was born on November 22 (November 10 according to the old style), 1801 in Lugansk, Yekaterinoslav province. Father - Johann Christian Dahl - a Dane who took Russian citizenship, was a doctor, linguist and theologian, mother - Maria Khristoforovna Dahl (née Freytag) - half German, half French. Dahl's father became a patriot of all Russian. Having fallen in love with Russia, he also sought to develop in his children a love for the Russian language, culture, and art.
In 1814, Vladimir Dal entered the St. Petersburg Naval Cadet Corps. He graduated from the course, served in the Navy in Nikolaev, then in Kronstadt. After retiring, he entered the medical faculty of Dorpat University, graduated from it in 1829 and became an oculist surgeon.
And again - military service. In 1828 a two-year Russian-Turkish war, and Dahl was drafted into the army. He participated in the transition of the Russian army through the Balkans, continuously operating on the wounded in tent hospitals and directly on the battlefields. Dahl's talent as a surgeon was highly appreciated by the outstanding Russian surgeon Pirogov. In 1831, during a campaign against the Poles, Vladimir Ivanovich distinguished himself while crossing the Vistula. He was the first to use electric current in the explosive business, having mined the crossing and blown it up after the retreat of the Russian troops across the river. For this, Emperor Nicholas I awarded V. I. Dahl with the Order - the Vladimir Cross in his buttonhole.
Dal began collecting words and expressions of the Russian folk language in 1819. Also in Marine Corps he studied literature, wrote poetry. Driving once through the Novgorod province, he wrote down the word “rejuvenate” that interested him (“otherwise, become cloudy, tend to bad weather”). And since then, wandering through the vast expanses of Russia, Vladimir Ivanovich did not part with his notes, replenishing them with new words, well-aimed sayings, proverbs and sayings, having accumulated and processed two hundred thousand words by the end of his life!
It is necessary to especially note his acquaintance and friendship with Pushkin. Dahl's work on the dictionary and his collection of proverbs played a significant role in this. Dahl later recalled the enthusiasm with which Pushkin spoke of the richness of Russian proverbs. According to contemporaries, the great poet, in fact, strengthened Dahl in his intention to collect a dictionary of the living folk language.
Alexander Sergeevich and Vladimir Ivanovich more than once shared the hardships of difficult travels along the roads of Russia, traveled to the places of Pugachev's campaigns.
In the tragic days of January 1837, Dahl, as a close friend and as a doctor, took an active part in the care of the mortally wounded Pushkin. It was to Dahl that the words of the dying man were addressed: "Life is over ..." The grateful poet gave him a talisman ring. Dahl left notes about the last hours of Alexander Sergeevich's life.
In 1832, "Russian Fairy Tales. First Five" edited by Dahl were published. However, the book was soon banned, and the author was arrested. Only at the request of V. A. Zhukovsky, at that time the educator of the heir to the throne, Dal was released. But he could no longer publish under his own name and signed with the pseudonym Cossack Lugansky. It was under this pseudonym that one of the favorite fairy tales of our childhood, "Ryaba the Hen", was published.
Dahl's works are full of proverbs and sayings. Sometimes, instead of a detailed description of the hero, his assessment is given only in the proverb: "He ... would not have to live like this - from morning to evening, but there is nothing to remember; a week has passed, it has not reached us." Or: “They didn’t teach while lying across the bench, but stretched out to the fullest - you won’t teach”; "Whoever can, that one gnaws at."
Published almost at the same time "Proverbs of the Russian people" (1862) and " Dictionary"(1864) enriched Russian culture and literature.
In the preface to the book of proverbs, Dahl wrote: “The sources or reserve for the collection were: two or three printed collections of the last century, the collections of Knyazhevich, Snegirev, handwritten sheets and notebooks reported from different sides, and - most importantly - the living Russian language, and more is the speech of the people.
It should be noted that even before Dahl, back in the 18th century, proverbs and sayings of the Russian people were collected and published. Examples include N. Kurganov's "Letter Book" (1769), "Collection of 4291 ancient Russian proverbs", attributed to the professor of Moscow University Barsov (1770), the collection "Russian proverbs" by I. Bogdanovich (1785). The first significant study on Russian proverbs is the work of I. M. Snegirev "Russians in their proverbs" (1831–1834). In the 19th century, the collections of I. M. Snegirev (1848, 1857) and the collection of proverbs extracted from books and manuscripts and published in 1854 by F. I. Buslaev were considered the main collections of proverbs and sayings.
However, it is Dahl who has the honor of becoming the most accurate, deep and faithful researcher of oral folk art.
The extensive material collected by Dalem forced him to group the proverbs in the collection into headings, sections. These headings often combine opposite phenomena of life, concepts, etc., for example, "good - evil", "joy - sorrow", "guilt - merit"; and everything is given an assessment in proverbs, because they express the innermost judgments of the people.
Deep wisdom, subtle observation, clear mind of the people determined the most expressive proverbs and sayings about literacy, learning, intelligence, about the abilities and intelligence of people. Proverbs condemn talkers, grumpy and stupid, lovers of scandal, swaggering, overly proud people.
Many proverbs spoke about the peasant world, about joint work, the strength of the rural community. "You can overcome the devil with a cathedral," the proverb claimed. "What the world has ordered, then God has judged", "The world will roar, so the forests are moaning", "Together - not heavy, but apart - at least drop it", "You can solve every matter with the world" ...
The book offered to the reader includes only a small part of Dahl's vast collection of proverbs and sayings. They are about love, friendship, happiness, wealth, work and idleness, life and death, loneliness, luck. Pay attention to how fresh, modern they sound!
And how many stable phrases are in today's Russian language, the origin of which we no longer think about, but which have a very definite source. Who has not heard a completely modern expression: "It's in the bag." It is from Dahl's collection, and came from a lot, which was put into a hat, and then pulled from it.
In almost every section of Dahl's "Proverbs of the Russian People" one can encounter contradictory materials. And this is natural, because real life full of contradictions. Here it is very important to distinguish shades, as well as a measure of the depth of proverbs and sayings. After all, they were sometimes born under the influence of emotions, and not just years of observation and experience.
