Sometimes it seems to us that the world is closed in its cruelty and pursuit of money, but this is not so! Evidence of this is the good deeds that people do famous people. And how many more things ordinary people do, we just don’t know about it...
"Rus' is not without good people! Russian people can easily be considered one of the most responsive peoples in the world. On the pages of history you can find many characters who throughout their lives tried to make the world a little better. Among them are doctors, military men, nobles, and even royalty.
Opening universities, specialized printing houses and schools, helping orphans, the hungry and the homeless is far from full list the good deeds of these people, which will be discussed in our material.
During his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname “gracious husband.” Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself.
He was one of that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own “wants.” It was on the initiative of the “bright man” that the first shelters for beggars appeared not only in Moscow, but also beyond its borders. It was common for Rtishchev to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter he organized - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station.
How many were saved from death and did not freeze to death on the street, one can only guess. In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain convoys to starving Vologda, and then money raised from the sale of personal property. And when I learned about the need of the Arzamas residents for additional lands, he simply donated his own.
During the Russian-Polish War, he carried out not only his compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again at his own expense. After Rtishchev’s death, his “Life” appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.
The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayer and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils.
She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for construction educational institutions for noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov.
With her direct participation, the largest charitable organization was created - the Imperial Humane Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century. Having 9 children of her own, she especially cared for abandoned babies: the sick were cared for in orphanages, the strong and healthy were cared for in trustworthy peasant families. This approach has significantly reduced child mortality.
With all the scale of her activities, Maria Feodorovna also paid attention to the little things that were not necessary for life. Thus, in the Obukhov psychiatric hospital in St. Petersburg, each patient received his own kindergarten. Her will contains the following lines: “Give life to Your Spirit through meekness, love and mercy. Be helpers and benefactors to the suffering and the poor.”
A descendant of the Rurikovichs, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky, was convinced that the thought he sowed would certainly “come up tomorrow” or “in a thousand years.” A close friend of Griboyedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, and tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged.
He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who turned to him and saw in everyone a “living string” that could be made to sound for the benefit of the cause. The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, which he organized, helped 15 thousand needy families. There was a women's workshop, a children's shelter with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.
Despite his origin and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a “minor position” he could bring “real benefit.” The “Strange Scientist” tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.
An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country at his place of service, in which soldiers’ children were educated.
Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments. In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through a line of soldiers, after which he petitioned for dismissal, saying that he would never be able to carry out such orders. Pyotr Georgievich devoted the rest of his life to charity. He was a trustee and honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv Home for the Poor.
Retired second lieutenant Sergei Skirmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous good deeds, but was able to build socialism on a single estate.
At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich was painfully thinking about future fate, he received 2.5 million rubles from a deceased distant relative. The inheritance was not spent on carousing or lost at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skirmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.
The whole life of this amazing woman was devoted to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, and on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district.
But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she did everything to ensure that blind people had the opportunity to become full-fledged members of society.
She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the “Collection of Articles for children's reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler."
To produce the book in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page. Later, Anna Alexandrovna translated the musical notation system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments.
With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later - from the Moscow School.
Literacy and professional training helped graduates find jobs, which changed the stereotypical idea of their incapacity. Anna Adler just barely lived to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.
The entire life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, the practical use of which saved more than one life. The men considered him a wizard who attracted higher powers for his “miracles.”
He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and his decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. Through his efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.
He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into those who were seriously injured and those who would make it to the rear. This reduced the mortality rate significantly. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound to the arm or leg could result in amputation. He personally carried out operations and tirelessly ensured that the soldiers were provided with everything they needed: warm blankets, food, water.
According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academicians to conduct plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of implanting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped get rid of deformity. Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that the main task of education is to teach to be human.
“Rus' is not without good people!” Russian people can easily be considered one of the most responsive peoples in the world. And we have someone to look up to.
Okolnichy Fedor Rtishchev
