In the year of the centenary of the Second Russian Troubles, when it is time to epigraphically repeat the words of Anna Akhmatova "enraged October, like yellow leaves, swept away other people's lives ...", it is appropriate to recall the wonderful people of Russia who became both participants and victims of terrible events. Such people undoubtedly include the officer, poet, prose writer, translator and playwright Prince Fyodor Nikolaevich Kasatkin-Rostovsky, a fairly well-known Russian writer of the first quarter of the 20th century, but who later left - with his writings and an emigre fate - under the vault of public memory ...

Invariably bilious and merciless in review judgments, the poet and critic Vladislav Khodasevich in his response (“Book and Revolution”, 1921, No. 27) to the collection of poems by F. Kasatkin-Rostovsky “Golgotha of Russia”, published in 1919 in Rostov-on-Don , which was then the center of the Volunteer Movement, expresses a sharp judgment that the author did not find real words for hatred, grief and love.

Well, really Kasatkin-Rostovsky was not an outstanding poet. But after a century, I insist that the works of the poet F.K.R. are important to the Russian reader today as a poignant personal testimony, a lyrical and epic diary of a Russian Orthodox person involved in the tragic events of our history, who, as it turns out, spoke not only from himself personally, but also on behalf of millions:

“We are those who fought for Russia in the war, / We carry our cross, as we wore shoulder straps” ...

Reference books report that Prince Fyodor Nikolaevich Kasatkin-Rostovsky was born on November 1 (13), 1875 in St. Petersburg, however, some experts are inclined to believe that the future warrior and poet could have been born in the Chernyanka settlement of the Novooskolsky district of the Kursk province (now Chernyanka is a regional center Belgorod region). Nevertheless, it should be remembered: his father was still in the service that year and lived in the capital, only then he retired, and the family moved to Chernyanka, where the estate was bought. In it, the childhood of the poet passed. The Kasatkin-Rostovsky estate in Chernyanka was destroyed during major peasant unrest in November 1905, melon crops were destroyed by the rebels in July 1906, and in 1911 the estate, which was located on Sadovaya Street, “on the Island” was burned; now on the former territory of the estate there is a kindergarten building (from 1965 to 2008 - an elementary school, with a small orchard).

The lyrical lines of the poet will be associated with these places:

Sometimes you go out into the garden ... Peace and spaciousness,
Behind the shadow of dark linden alleys,
Will cover the distance of the river, the village beyond the slope
And the expanse of boundless fields ...

In the South of Russia there are indifferent well-wishers, and on November 11, 2015, an evening-portrait “The Way of the Cross to Resurrection” was organized at the Belgorod State Literary Museum, dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the birth of Prince Fyodor Nikolaevich Kasatkin-Rostovsky. The evening was attended by students of the College of Music. S.A. Degtyarev - Belgorod State University of Arts and Culture. The youth publicly read the verses of their fellow countryman and quite appropriately performed the works of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov.

And five years earlier, in 2010, the Belgorod publishing house "Konstanta", led by the Litmuseum, issued a circulation of 1000 copies. reprint of the posthumous Parisian pamphlet of selected poems “Kn. F. Kosatkin-Rostovsky. Way of the Cross to the Resurrection”, published by the Foreign Union of Russian Military Disabled Persons in 1948, edited by S.D. Pozdnyshev. The original was purchased by the Litmuseum from second-hand booksellers.

The author dedicated the book to his wife, with whom, as he writes in the preface, “they painfully and sensitively experienced in their souls all the stages of the torments of our Motherland, firmly believing in its Revival”, and in her person - “to all the Russian women who suffered for Russia”.

In his speech, delivered at the evening dedicated to the memory of the poet Prince F.N. Kasatkin-Rostovsky January 9, 1943 in the Chopin Hall in Paris, S.D. Pozdnyshev describes the appearance of the prince, imprinted from the first meeting, already in exile: “He was a tall, slender man with a beautiful Russian face and slightly graying hair. He was dressed in a dark blue suit that suited him very well. He had a soft, calm, somewhat contemplative look and a soft, kind smile. He spoke quietly, rather quietly, and his voice was pleasant and velvety. ... Fedor Nikolaevich in a foreign land, it seems, was constantly in poverty. He was not a businessman who knew how to make money. He was all in a different element.

Noting the prince's foreignness to any émigré political squabbles, hatred and malice, S. Pozdnyshev points out: as a true Russian man, the prince was a believing Christian, was in awe of our “solemn and wonderful” services, he was delighted and touched by “pictures of temples in the colorful panorama of our cities and sat down, he enthusiastically loved the white monasteries on the peaks among the forests, in solitude by quiet rivers, and ancient Holy Russia constantly seemed to him in a shaky fog ”:

Village behind a ravine. Houses and gardens
And a white church with a fence
Three old mills by still water,
Chapel with a burning lamp…
And then the fields ... Endless distance,
Foggy forest outlines,
And the blue sky, and the same sadness,
And desires hidden in the heart ...

"Autumn Song" (from pre-war lyrics)

Prince Fyodor Nikolayevich left behind a good, honest name, his love and his truth.

“The turbulent Russian sea will calm down and calm down, other generations with a different soul will come to replace, and at the hour when silence sets in, when the sun of freedom illuminates the Russian land with warmth and light, then our descendants will pay tribute to the poet who died in a foreign land.” Maybe that time has come?

Fedor Nikolaevich belongs to the ancient Kasatkin-Rostovsky family, closely associated with the history of Russia, "serving her and exalting her." One of the sources is called Prince Mikhail Alexandrovich of Rostov, nicknamed Kasatka, a descendant of Rurik in the 19th generation, who reigned in Rostov the Great. This is one of the 50 Rurik clans. This genus is included in the V part of the genealogical books of the Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tula provinces.

The poet's father, Nikolai Fedorovich Kasatkin-Rostovsky (1848–1908), after graduating from the Naval College, served in the Navy, participated in the Russian-Turkish War of 1877–1878 as a captain of the 2nd rank. as part of the Guards crew, under the command of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich. He was awarded the Order of St. Stanislav. At the end of the war, he retired and settled in his estate in Chernyanka.

In 1881, on the initiative and with the help of the prince, the Second Chernyanskaya School (Aleksandrovskaya) was opened - on the square, next to the church.

He was the Kursk provincial leader of the nobility in 1890–1893, a member of the State Council for Elections (from the Kursk provincial zemstvo, since 1906), a large landowner in the Samara and Kursk provinces. In St. Petersburg, the prince owned an apartment building at 84, Moika Embankment, built in 1869–1870. designed by N. Benois.

The first part of the prince's surname is spelled in two - Kosatkin and Kasatkin; just like some other famous names: Boratynsky and Baratynsky, Krapotkin and Kropotkin. The variant with the spelling of the princely surname through “a” took root as a later one, and so was transferred to new times.

His wife, Nadezhda Karlovna Montresor, the mother of the future poet, was a trustee of the Novooskol women's progymnasium.

In 1905, together with M.Ya. Govorukho-Otrok, Count V.F. Dorrer and N.E. Markov N.F. Kasatkin-Rostovsky founded the Kursk People's Party of Order, later transformed into the provincial department of the Union of the Russian People, and was its honorary chairman. He died in St. Petersburg from a cerebral hemorrhage.

Prince Fyodor Nikolaevich Kasatkin-Rostovsky graduated from the Corps of Pages in 1895 and was released as a second lieutenant in the Life Guards Semenovsky Regiment. Even then he wrote and published poetry. And already in 1900, under the pseudonym F.K.R., he published his first collection of poems, with a dedication to Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov (known in literature under the pseudonym K.R.) and a poetic greeting.

The prince's poems were quite popular, due to "sensitivity and orientation to the style of the romance" - over 30 romances are known to the verses of Kasatkin-Rostovsky.

In total in 1900-1917. F. K. R. published four collections (“Songs of Parting”, 1906; “Lights on the Road. Poems. 1910-1911”, etc.), which included poems, poems, plays in verse, translations from P. Bourget, F. Koppe (drama "Severo Toreli"), P. Verlaine, M. Nepwer, Sully-Prudhomme.

In 1908, the writer compiled a “Memo to the Semenovets” - a brief history of the regiment written in a loyal spirit, in which, in particular, he said about the events of January 9, 1905: “... loyal to their Tsar and Motherland, the troops honestly fulfilled their duty and did not allow the workers to reach the Winter Palace.

The titles themselves speak about the dramatic works created in verse, mainly on foreign subjects, and even in the traditions of vaudeville, as well as the range of interests of this author: “The Robber Sedan”, “Merry Pranksters, or Triumphant Virtue”, “Qui pro quo”, “Scheherazade”, “The Price of Happiness”, “Retribution”. Some of them have had stage success. F. K. R. was a member of the St. Petersburg Union of Dramatic Writers, a regular participant in the "Fridays" of the poet Konstantin Sluchevsky, and later "evenings" named after him.

In 1912, the prince's marriage to Olga Bogdanovna (Germogenovna) Khvoshchinskaya (1871 - 1952, Canada), which was concluded in June 1898, was annulled. It is known about the daughter Marina (1900 -1979), born in this marriage, but some sources call three more children: Irina (1906-1947), Kirill (1904-1980) and Nikolai (1908-1947). It was even reported about the last son that he participated in the Great Patriotic War, died in the camps of the city of Semipalatinsk.

In 1912, the poem of Prince Kasatkin-Rostovsky "1812" won the competition of patriotic songs in memory of the Patriotic War of 1812 and began to be performed in the form of a hymn by the troops of the guard, army and scouts, in fact, as a folk song, this song was sung in all regiments of the Russian army.

And now it is sometimes referred to as "Russian soldier drill song":

... Resound the tune of victory,
Let the Russian heart tremble
Let's remember how grandfathers fought
In the great twelfth year...

In Yalta in 1913, on the eve of the war, a performance of his play “The Forgotten Wing” took place - in favor of the Red Cross, after a positive assessment of it by the emperor and at the initiative of the empress. The translation of Pushkin's fairy tales into French was published as a separate book. In the same pre-war year, the prince published a collection of poems "Dreams and Awakenings" and the third volume of stories. He retired as a colonel, and was elected a deputy of the nobility and chairman of the Novooskol Zemstvo Council.

During the First World War, he wrote as a war correspondent for the Novoye Vremya newspaper. The war returned him to his native Semyonovsky regiment - at the request submitted to the Sovereign.

At the front he was wounded and shell-shocked four times, since January 1917 he was in the rear for treatment. He was awarded the orders of St. Vladimir with swords and a bow of the 4th degree, St. Anna of the 2nd degree with swords, St. Stanislav of the 2nd degree with swords, St. Anna of the 3rd degree with swords and a bow, Swords and a bow to Order of St. Stanislav 3rd class, St. Anna 4th degree with the inscription "For courage".

Collections of poems by F. K. R. “From the war. Leaves of a Camping Notebook” were published in four books, with a print run of 10,000, and were quickly sold out. These lines then excited many: “Until we temper the enemy’s ardor with victory, / We will not lay down the sword of arms” ...

Chairman of the Foreign Union of Russian Military Disabled Lieutenant General M.N. Kalnitsky (1870–1961), a well-known figure in the Russian emigration, a hereditary nobleman of the Poltava province, in a short article “A Singer in the Camp of Russian Warriors,” written for the Prince’s Parisian collection, indicates that the posthumous book of the poet F. K. R. was published under the care of this union “and wants to acquaint Russia Abroad, so that the truthful, heartfelt chronicle of the past suffering days does not lie under a bushel.”

To you, brave fighters for the Holy Motherland,
To you, who grieved in soul for those fighting in battles,
I give the story simple
What I wrote in sincere words.
Do not expect brilliant words and ardor in it,
Invented victories, vain pompous phrases;
I wrote it down among the fights for you,
All this is lived, everything that I write was.

In the poem "Vespers", written on a bivouac near the village of Babice, near the fortress of Novogeorgievsk, on August 10, 1914, the poet speaks without unnecessary exaltation about the piety of the Russian soldier:

Concentrated, in solemn silence
The soldiers are praying... Maybe tomorrow there will be a battle...
In the darkness of the evening, before the day of hard battle
Under the blue vault all hearts are open,
Clearer and clearer familiar prayers
In the silence of the evening and the closeness of the Creator.

Or in the poem "Before the fight":

The songs of the clergy sounded solemnly in silence,
Crossing themselves, the soldiers went forward to fire shots ...

The February coup of 1917 found the poet-warrior in the hospital, from where he went to the Crimea for treatment. Information about the October Revolution overtook him in Nizhny Novgorod. I had to perform at poetry concerts for the sake of livelihood. Then the poem "Loaders" was written - about officers forced to earn money by hard physical labor

We are movers. We unload the wagons
We carry bales on weary backs
We are the ones who recently wore shoulder straps
And blood was shed for Russia in the war.
…
For the bright fate of the native people,
Forgetting about the danger, in bloody battles
The Germans and I fought in the trenches for three years,
With proud determination in tired eyes...
…
And if there were other days,
And the enemy would go to the trenches again, -
We are ready again, holy Russia,
Lead them forward to defend you.

After these verses, I had to hide, to flee to Voronezh. After receiving news in 1918 that the Bolsheviks had killed his mother, brother Nikolai and sister Sophia in their family estate in Chernyanka, the prince joined the Volunteer Army.

The lullaby of F.K.R. sounded from Nizhny Novgorod as a tragic echo of the famous prophetic “Lullaby Song” of 1887, authored by his almost namesake poet K.R. , sweet, / God bless you, / Sleep well! - I'm with you, / I'll protect you from troubles / In sorrowful days ... ". The author already knew about the terrible fate of the addressee of the Lullaby, the poet K. R., whose son, Prince John Konstantinovich, was thrown into the Alapaevskaya mine by the Bolshevik executioners on July 18, 1918 - with his brothers, the Grand Duchess the Reverend Martyr Elisaveta Feodorovna and other sufferers.

I will nurture you, I will cherish
With all my strength,
Hiding sadness in silence
I only pray to God
So that you also keep strictly
Soul purity.
So that on the thorny path of fate
Was the same heart pure, -
Like father and mother
How are they, so that on other days,
He was for you, Russia,
Life is ready to give!
Well you grow - not for revenge,
Proud of the power of forgiveness,
With faith in the days of light!
The night is quiet ... The lamp is on,
Sleep, my boy, quietly, sweetly,
God bless you!

In Kharkov, in August 1918, the prince wrote a poem to the Motherland:

Holy Russia! What have they done to you?
Your gaze faded, painfully sad.
In the dark, hungry, with bowed head,
As a mother, you are looking for your children among the ruins!
...
The brother goes to the brother! .. The blood flows like a river,
Pouring into both houses and peaceful abode.
Oh, autumn by the holy right hand
Our tormented land - Savior!

Colonel Kasatkin-Rostovsky in Novorossiysk formed the Consolidated Guards Regiment, fought near Melitopol against Makhno. Wrote the anthem of the Volunteer Army "The Tricolor Flag". Under this poem in the Parisian book of 1948, the author's note was printed "In the liberated Kharkov, June 12, 1919", and the publishers added explanations to the subtitle: "Volunteer song, music by M. Yakobson." Now the composition is being published with the title “Song of the Volunteer Army”:

Like knights, Varangians,
To gather Russia together,
Goes to battle with a tricolor flag,
Without fear of death, our army.
…
To him all those who are the son of Russia,
To him all those who are waiting for the truth!
- There - where the heads are golden,
To Moscow ... he will lead the brave!

In the poem "The Butchers" the prince writes about Russia: "The bloody Trotsky and the deceiver Lenin / They cut her heart into pieces" ...

In the book "The Way of the Cross to the Resurrection", in the section with the self-explanatory title "Voluntary", we read:

What's wrong with you, beautiful Russia,
uncovered by a veil,
Where is your clear smile
Your look is honest and simple? ..

They say that in 1919 the prince ended up outside Russia, in Serbia, where he taught at the gymnasium, collaborating with the newspaper Novoye Vremya by M. Suvorin. In 1923 he moved to France, settled in Meudon, served in an insurance company, then moved to Paris, where, together with his second wife, actress of the Alexandrinsky Theater of St. Petersburg, D.N. Kirova, staged a number of performances.

He was a member of the regimental association, in 1926 - a delegate to the Russian Foreign Congress in Paris. He took an active part in the social life of the Russian emigration: he performed at parties, charity concerts. In 1928, together with his wife, he founded the Russian Intimate Theater, in which he staged 135 domestic plays, including his own composition. However, for various reasons, the company had to close.

According to the testimonies of his comrades, "his last days were terrible and filled with heavy care and complete loneliness."

S. Mikhalevsky, in a short essay “Poet-Warrior”, included in the book by F. K. R. “The Way of the Cross to Resurrection”, says that the poet lived in recent years 25 kilometers from Paris, where he served as a watchman-caretaker for a large house, renting a room for this to live with his wife, not receiving a salary and breeding rabbits and a garden for food. However, there was an illness, an operation, several difficult months in the hospital.

From an overdose of drugs, the patient developed leukemia and weakness. At that moment in 1940, the nuns of Saint-Jean de Dieu settled in Saint-Prix with four dozen children - "cripples, paralytics and idiots." They offered Dina Nikitichna “without salary, for a table and an apartment, to prepare lunches and breakfasts for fifty people. This temporarily saved the Kasatkin-Rostovskys.

When the Germans began to approach, the nuns with their children departed, the spouses remained in the inter-front zone, from June 13 to 24 there was not a single soul around. The Germans passed without stopping. On July 22, Dina Nikitichna went through the forest to the city, and, returning, found her husband dead, sitting in bed. In fact, having pledged all her poor property for two thousand francs, the widow buried the prince in the local cemetery, with a funeral service by a Russian priest. Later, a reburial took place at Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois. They say that the widow, who will outlive her husband by four decades, will not be married again for long, will be buried in the grave of the prince in 1982 as Evdokia Tiran, by the name of her new husband.

Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams rightly noted in her speech about the collection “The Way of the Cross to Sunday”:

“The reader should be attracted in this book not by the harmony of words and rhymes, but by the consonance of experiences, both terrible and, for some, infinitely dear. This is a diary of a Russian officer, a kind of trilogy - the war of 1914, the white movement, exile. And every step, every word is saturated with one thought - Russia.

Holy Motherland. Dream of my soul
Do you hear the call of your sons from afar,
Do you feel the groan of agonizing sadness
About the silence of your fields and about the wilderness of the forest.

("In Exile")

From the feat of war, the poet came to the feat of exile. However, neither in the descriptions of the war, nor in the descriptions of enemies - neither external nor internal - the reader will find curses and malice. He calls for a fight, but there is no hatred in him even for the enemy. This is a very Russian trait, according to the apt observation of A. Tyrkova-Williams.

A brilliant guards officer, "a singer in the camp of Russian soldiers", a fiery patriot, a connoisseur and connoisseur of beauty, an idealist, the prince lived the second part of his life as a homeless exile, as a singer of Russian sadness, longing and sorrow.

Here are the lines of the emigrant period, the finale of the poem "In a strange city":

You walk through the streets, their fun is someone else's,
And the thought is there - where the smoky frosts,
Where are miserable huts, where are long wagons,
Where is everything that you call so tormented soul ...

Until the last days of his life, the prince wrote nostalgic poems. “We are gray birds. We are the birds of sorrow, / We alone can sing songs of suffering. / We are here in a foreign land ... they drove us from the nest, / We have nowhere else to fly.

The poem "On the flight", with the inevitable and inescapable for the Russian, including the emigrant heart, the image of cranes:

Countless flocks rush
To the north, melting in the mist,
Silent tears flow
falling to a foreign land.
Just saying goodbye to relatives,
Whispering lips in silence:
“God, when will they
Let me fly too!"

And - parting words to "Russian children":

Save up the strength of the young
In exile, on the far side,
Don't Forget About Russia
And our Russian antiquity.
…
And you must, bringing her knowledge,
And keeping her speech on the way,
From days of distant exile
To Russia - Russians come.

This touching and sad message, as it turned out, should be addressed not only to those who were in Russian exile outside the geographical boundaries of the Fatherland, but also to those who remained in their native land, but fell for whole generations, for decades of the terrible twentieth century, as if in spiritual exile. And even now, in the latest quarter of a century after the collapse of the Soviet empire, can we honestly say with confidence that we returned to Russia as Russians?

Song of the Volunteer Army

Like the knights of the Vikings, In order to gather Russia together, He goes to battle with a tricolor flag, Without fear of death, our army.

She is not afraid of deprivation on her way, Delirium of bloody fears is ridiculous, She brings us rebirth, In the radiance of joyful victories!

Starting as an imperceptible drop, It rallied into a formidable shaft, Above it, the native tricolor flag shone in the rays of dawn.

To him all those who are the son of Russia! To him all those who are waiting for the truth! There, where the Heads are golden, To Moscow ... he will lead the brave!
