ASD faction: Dorogov's elixir that saved hundreds of lives! As a veterinary drug treats severe human diseases. Stone ball in Bosnia

For hundreds of years, fairy tales, legends and stories about mermaids have been circulating in the Nizhny Novgorod land. However, the true mistresses of the waters in our region are not mermaids at all, because according to the ancient mythology of the indigenous population of the region, the Volga Finns - Erzi, Moksha and Teryukhan, who have disappeared to this day, the Mordovian mistress of the waters - Vedyava lives in every reservoir in the south of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

This incident occurred in the Erzya village of Akuzovo, Sergach district. An elderly sorceress Zoya Semyonovna Sorokina told me about him. It was after the war. Her godmother was walking along the banks of the Piana. He looks, a naked woman sits on a high bank and combs her hair with a comb. You can't see her face, and her hair is long, long. The curious godmother wanted to approach the woman, but she, seeing her, suddenly jumped up, laughed loudly and jumped off the high cliff into the pool. And the splash was such that the water overflowed the banks. Only then did the woman understand that it was not a mortal woman at all, but an Erzya goddess, the spirit of the waters - Vedyava.

And indeed, the Mordovian pagan deity - the spirit of the waters - Ved-ava ("after all" - water, "ava" - mother, woman) in the religious beliefs of the Mordovian people is presented as a tall, beautiful, naked woman sitting near a pond and combing long blond hair with a comb , white or green hair. The neighboring Maris also have a similar character - Vud-ava. Unlike the Slavic drowned woman with a fish tail - a mermaid, Vedyava appears with legs and has a more privileged - divine status.

By the way, the gray-bearded male spirit Ved-atya lives with her in the legends - an old water man who is considered the husband of a female deity. Nevertheless, the dominant role in Mordovian mythology is given to female deities, and all because archaic beliefs in these deities arose in the era of matriarchy.

Extensive ethnographic materials of Erzi, Moksha and Teryukhan testify that a person identified gods and spirits with those natural objects that, first of all, were revered by him. And one of the most necessary and at the same time dangerous environments in people's lives, of course, was water. Since ancient times, this element has frightened people. In addition to the fact that they could drown every hour, floods washed away dams, demolished and flooded mills, houses, flooded crops of farmers with rain. And vice versa, water was necessary for a person for life, economy, agriculture and fishing: people fished, hunted beaver, waterfowl. That is why the cult of the spirit, the patroness of water, enjoyed special reverence.

Distinguished by a strict disposition ...

Often in the legends, fairy tales, songs, bylichkas of the Erzyans and Mokshans, Vedyava is described as a harmful, dangerous, evil spirit, a chance meeting with which promises people great trouble, and often an early death. In these stories, the imperious patroness of water acts as an inevitable punishing force or as an evil spirit prophesying great misfortunes to mortals. According to the will of Vedyava, adults and children die, livestock perish, fall into decay household and forest industries. The inevitable punishments of the Mordovian water mistress extended to people who violated the ancient commandments. So, according to the traditional religious beliefs of the Mordovians and other Volga Finns, people were forbidden to wash in ponds with stagnant water (in lakes and ponds), cut down trees close to water bodies, and allow dirt to enter sacred springs and street wells.

It was believed that Vedyava and her husband Vedyatya live in deep pools and can drown a person: according to Moksha, Erzya and Teryukhan beliefs, they take exactly as many people to the bottom as they need. More recently, children were frightened with the spirit of water: “Look, don’t go swimming, otherwise Vedyava will drag you to the bottom.”

True, sometimes water spirits allegedly spared people who were drowned, pushing the poor fellows ashore with their cold hands. Therefore, if a drowning person still remained alive, he was immediately obliged to bow to the water deities, and then thank them with money - 5 or 10 kopecks, as well as millet and hops for making "pure" - a Mordovian national alcoholic drink prepared on the basis of honey and bee bread. "They (the spirits of water - Auth.) are too happy with the brew and the wine too," local old-timers say. If somehow a drowning young girl swam ashore, she also thanked Vedyava - she threw either a ring, or a scarf, or earrings into the river or lake.

The same Zoya Sorokina told me about the miraculous rescue of a drowning man. According to her, one evening a guy from her countrymen went fishing on the Piana River. Yes, that's the trouble - he was drunk, and therefore stumbled, fell into a deep seething pool and began to sink. As soon as the poor fellow begins to swim to the surface, he takes a little breath of air, but it wasn’t there, someone’s tenacious cold hands again pull him into the abyss of the river. When the unknown grip weakened, the guy pushed off the viscous bottom with all his strength and, having floated to the river surface, began to scold angrily. His curses were so terrible that the invisible creature got scared and swam away.

An unusual story was told to me by a Moksha woman from Saransk, Marina Ageeva, a correspondent for a national radio program. She was told about this by her uncle, Nikolai Syatkin from the Moksha village of Atyurievo. "Drowned there, in the river, Small child. The men have gone all over the place. Well, no, they can't find the body anywhere. Then the mother of the drowned child came ashore with a cup containing sacrificial food - homemade rye bread and a candle stuck in it. Veden Kirdi prayed - Vedyata (the holder, the owner of the water - the old water man) and Veden Kirdi - Vedyava (the owner of the water). And finally, the woman says: "Since you have already taken the soul of the child, then return us at least the body to bury it like a human being." And she put the bowl into the water. She swam, swam, circled, circled, and drowned near the shore. That's where the body was found."

... And did not spare water

There were other beliefs among the Mordovians. Like, Vedyava can not only drown a person, but also send serious illnesses, any ailment on him. It was believed that no one would cure the sickness and suffering sent to the people of Vedyavaya: a person bought himself, fell into the water, fell through the ice, caught a cold ... Or for a long time after the wedding, the young could not conceive a child, and then the poor women went to the banks of the springs and performed mysterious prayers there , addressing the water mistress with requests for sending them "fertility".

And once Vedyava was considered the goddess of fertility. And with water taken from her chambers, the farmers irrigated the fields, which means that only she should have asked for rain in a drought. But if in the Russian villages of the Nizhny Novgorod Territory, a petition for rain took place with an obligatory procession around the village of a religious procession, at the head of which the villagers, and often priests, carried Orthodox icons, then, having long been Orthodox, the Mordvins preferred to conduct a “prayer for rain” in a completely different way. Although many Orthodox motifs were traced in her pagan prayers.

In dry years, Moksha and Erzya farmers-gardeners-gardeners, as in the old days, turned to water spirits, asking them for rain.

Meanwhile

At the border line, on the original river
I bathed holding a reed in my hand.
Having aroused the whole backwater, ringing with loud laughter,
I swam naked in broad daylight.
The traveler, who passed by, called Vedyavoy,
He quickly added a step and disappeared into the thicket.
I was left to play pranks on a beautiful river,
Singing songs in the wild steppe language.

Julia MATROSOVA (Nizhny Novgorod).

The tongue will bring to the rain
The venue for the unique ritual in the village of Akuzovo was the local cemetery. The sorceress assured that the last time they performed this ceremony was in the 1990s. In addition to her, about ten more Erzya women were participants in the ritual. Women went chest-deep into the Piyanley-Pyanu River, took water from it into their mouths and went to the cemetery. It was necessary to walk the whole way in silence, without turning around and in no case splash water from the mouth. If any of them spilled it, the rite had to be started all over again. At the cemetery, women spit out water on a tombstone with an Orthodox cross of the elder guardians of the graveyard with the words (in Erzya): "Righteous parents, we brought you drink, you save us, pray for us ...". Most likely, at the initial stages of this rite, the Mordovian water goddess Vedyava participated in this magical chain. And it was in this way that, through the transmission of information through their deceased ancestors, the Erzyans turned to the goddess with requests for rain.

ASD drug is a liquid prepared by a special method from animal tissues. The composition of the therapeutic fractions ASD-2 and ASD-3 is unchanged, and they are always in demand. When treating with ASD, it is necessary to take into account the nature of the disease, general state and the age of the patient, as well as the stage of development of the disease.

The recommended doses are as follows: from 20 years and older - 80-200 drops dissolved in 40-100 ml of water; from 15 to 20 years - 20-40 drops in 10-20 ml of water; from 5 to 15 years - 8-28 drops in 5-15 ml of water; from 1 year to 5 years - 8-20 drops in 5 ml of water; up to 1 year - 2-4 drops of the ASD preparation are dissolved in 3-5 ml of water. The entire period of treatment is strictly prohibited to drink alcohol.

Skin diseases are treated simultaneously with drugs ASD-2 and ASD-3. Fraction 2 is taken in the morning on an empty stomach 40 minutes before meals at the dosages indicated above. Dissolve in boiled water room temperature. The drug ASD-2 is taken for 5 days in a row, then a break is made for 2-3 days, then the five-day fraction is repeated. And so with interruptions take the drug until it disappears completely. skin lesion. At the same time, painful areas of the skin are lubricated with ASD-3. After lubrication, cover with parchment paper, then apply a thick layer of cotton wool and bandage. Very often there is an exacerbation of the disease, manifested by slight redness and itching of the body. In such cases, the use of the ASD-3 preparation is stopped for 1-2 days, and then the skin is again lubricated with it. During treatment, it is contraindicated to contact with substances that irritate the skin (gasoline, turpentine, kerosene, etc.), as well as wet areas undesirably affected by the disease with water.

In the treatment of female diseases, tuberculosis, diseases of the heart, liver and nerves the first 5 days take 5 drops of the drug ASD-2, then take a three-day break, and then take 10 drops of the therapeutic fraction every morning on an empty stomach for 5 days. After another three days of a break, the next five days are taken 15 drops of ASD, after another 3 days they drink 5 days of 20 drops each and finish the reception, making another three-day break, daily taking 25 drops of the drug for 5 days. In the event of an exacerbation during the treatment course, the intake should be stopped until the pain disappears, and then resumed.

I tried to remake this beautiful, tender and wonderful serenade of love into a song
for male performance in 2011 with the permission of N. Marzhan here
Did not work out. And now I return to these verses.
Something like it worked out.

Poems by N. Marzhan

I've been looking for you for hundreds of years
And in the eyes of unfamiliar passers-by
I tried to see your sincere light.
I hope you too...

I've been looking for you for hundreds of years
And in the eyes of unfamiliar passers-by.
I tried to see your sincere light.
I hope you were looking for a meeting too.

Chorus
Fate will marry you forever
Can't break the bonds of happiness.
"Do you agree?" - ask. I'll answer "yes"...
I hope you agree too.

Instilled in the soul of gray mold sadness,
Has taken root, disturbing the heart with pain.
I will see you, secretly look back,
I hope you look back too.

Oh baby what have you done to me
I seem to be getting younger.
I will dissolve in you with unearthly warmth.
Hope you loosen up too.

I catch every look and gesture with rapture,
There is no more precious person in the world!
I love you, do you hear?! Oh how I love!
I hope you love me too.

I read you like a poem, by heart.
Passion like a wave over velvet skin.
Wake up in the arms of love early in the morning
I hope you join me too.

Reviews

The daily audience of the Potihi.ru portal is about 200 thousand visitors, who in total view more than two million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

The simplest (at first glance) natural phenomena remain great mysteries for mankind. Analyze, suggest - that's all that modern scientists can do.

Look, for example, at the list of these mysteries that scientists cannot solve!

Animal migration

Animals migrate along the same routes for many years. Fish, birds, even insects also change places of hunting, guided by a certain algorithm. However, scientists simply cannot explain the very existence of this important instinct in the genetic patterns of such diverse creatures.

Great Sphinx of Giza

The small head of the Great Sphinx is causing controversy in the scientific community. Robert Schoch, a British geologist, suggests that the statue originally had the face of a lion, from which one of the pharaohs ordered an enigmatic smiling face to be carved. Another archaeologist, Graham Hancock, has established a correlation between the three surrounding pyramids and the stars in the constellation Orion, which also defies any scientific explanation.

Firefly Sync

Instead of flickering randomly, fireflies of the same group light up "flashlights" at the same time, every 1-2 seconds. Jonathan Copeland, a firefly specialist at the University of Georgia, suggests that this is a ritual. But no one knows which one it is.

Meredith Stone

This stone was found in 1872 during earthworks in the city of Meredith on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee (New Hampshire, USA). It is a piece of skillfully worked quartz - but there has never been quartz here, and the stone is too well worked for primitive tribes. Scientists are at an impasse.

Taos rumble

For many years, the inhabitants of Taos have heard a low-frequency rumble coming from the depths of the desert, as if tanks are moving along the highway. main feature phenomenon that only local residents hear it, no one has yet been able to capture the sound on film.

Stone labyrinths of the Big Zayatsky Island

No one knows where the labyrinths on the Big Zayatsky Island came from. 14 low spiral structures have stone altars with solar symbols in the center. Here, archaeologists also found traces of ritual sacrifices, but they could not find the culture that created all this.

Yonaguni Monument

Off the coast of the Japanese island of Yonaguni, divers have discovered a real underwater city. It is simply amazing why research is not continuing even now - the find is really frightening and inspiring at the same time. Stone formations are dated at 16 thousand years old, similar structures were found off the islands of Okinawa. And in the strait between Taiwan and China (on the other side of Yonaguni) there are other underwater structures that most of all resemble roads and walls.

Red glow over the Pacific Ocean

This strange red light was first seen by Christian van Heyst. He flew from Hong Kong to Alaska on a Boeing 747-8, and the radiance seemed to be born under him after a flash of lightning. Currently, the phenomenon remains in the category of inexplicable, writes Don't Panic.

Stone ball in Bosnia

Some believe that our distant ancestors created such balls as symbols of certain celestial objects. Other archaeologists find only landmarks in them, but no one really knows how things are.

Mount Rushmore Mystery

During the construction of this famous monument, the architect Gutzon Borglum wanted to create a Hall of Records inside the rock. To do this, he excavated a cave behind the head of Abraham Lincoln. In 1998, more than 50 years after Borglum's death, the US government did, in fact, place the memoirs of presidents, the bill of rights, and a copy of the declaration of independence here. But what was here before? Conspiracy theorists believe that the CIA used the cave as a secret laboratory.

Zinaida Astapovich-Bocharova

Probably, Zinaida Antonovna would have liked that in that part of the Vitebsk park, where she especially liked to walk, roe deer were jumping - now there is a zoo. On the way home, she always bought a book. She returned, cooked borscht, fried pancakes - and stood up to the easel. Every day, for almost 80 years. On canvas, and more often on plywood, cardboard cut out of cake boxes or with the inscription “Deed”, luxurious bouquets, quiet Vitebsk courtyards and landscapes appeared on the back, in which there were many emotions, colors, even gold. The gouache sets that she usually used did not contain such colors, but most of her works literally shone. Nothing like this was shown at Soviet exhibitions. However, Astapovich-Bocharova did not care. She did not offer her work to exhibition committees, she did not maintain any relations with the artists of Vitebsk, where she lived for the last 30 years of her life. In addition to close people, no one knew about her paintings, which were accumulated behind cabinets and backs of sofas in a Vitebsk apartment on Lenin Street. If we were talking about a male artist, such a position would certainly be regarded as a challenge, a stubborn protest against censorship in Soviet art. Of course, Zinaida Astapovich-Bocharova was not particularly original in her seclusion. But she did not protest, she did not prove anything to anyone, even to herself. I just drew - I could not do otherwise. And she did not go to the opening of her first exhibition at the National Art Museum.

Arkady and Zinaida Astapovich, 1920s

Mainly, of course, because of her age - after all, she was already over 90. However, she reacted evenly to her next exhibition, in Vitebsk, taking it for granted. But in the 1990s it was a sensation. Just imagine: the “pure art” of the Silver Age, dated to the first decade of the last century, and still the same typical Silver Age, only with the date of the beginning of perestroika. In 1998, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Zinaida Astapovich-Bocharova, the National Art Museum gave up two floors to her works. At one of the most grandiose exhibitions of recent times, Ten Centuries of Belarusian Art, her self-portrait was exhibited among the canvases by Chagall, Soutine, Drozdovich and other iconic artists for Belarus. You can see the painting of Astapovich-Bocharova at 20 Lenina St. today - in the creative museum art project RELAX, where there are only bright names: Serov, Mashkov, Zhuravlev, Kustodiev, Makovsky...

"Twilight"

Coffee

It seemed as if she felt that this would happen - Elena Smirnova, the granddaughter of Zinaida Astapovich-Bocharova, recalls her grandmother's reaction to her very first exhibition. - Calmly waited and waited. Exhibitions, reviews, publications. “This is what happened,” she said then. “Then I’m not interested in living anymore.”

She really wasn't particularly interested in answering journalists' questions about her life. Well, how to explain why she, a student of Nicholas Roerich and Ivan Bilibin, did not offer her works for exhibitions? I came up with a universal answer, saying that I thought it was not good enough. However, if we take into account the materials with which Astapovich-Bocharova created her worlds... And yet, such a long suspense really looks strange, especially against the background of her family ties. Granddaughter Elena is a historian, niece Ida is an art critic, head of the department of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, her niece's husband is an influential official in the field of Soviet culture.

"Back"

Indeed, Nikolai Yakovlevich Nersesov was an authoritative figure in the USSR Ministry of Culture, - Elena Dmitrievna confirms. - By the way, it was thanks to him that a significant part of Russian art of the 18th - 19th centuries, which was bought from collectors after the war, ended up in Minsk, and not somewhere else. It was he who insisted that the paintings should be transferred to the Belarusian museum, which suffered more than others. But it was not customary to push our own people in our family. And my grandmother would have objected.

In the 1980s, Elena Smirnova became a researcher at the Belarusian Art Department of the National Art Museum of the BSSR. And she didn’t tell her colleague Nadezhda Usova about Zinaida Antonovna on purpose, just over a cup of coffee. And she asked for a visit.

Zinaida Antonovna fed me breakfast, then brought me to her room, put me on the sofa and began to pull out countless folders with works - this meeting was a real revelation for Usova. - 1914, 1923, 1960, hundreds, thousands of works. Although already from the very first I realized that in front of me was a real artist.

Scenery

Much earlier, graphic sheets with autographs of Zinaida Antonovna's brother, Arkady Astapovich, got into the collection of the National Art Museum. Along with letters in which he persistently urged his sister: "Work, my friend, systematically, at least 2 hours a day ... In art, if a direct path is not possible, one must move by detours." He was only 2 years older than her and they started painting at the same time. In Grodno gymnasiums, obviously, there were very good drawing teachers. Elena Smirnova does not remember her grandmother telling her about some specially hired teachers, but she often spoke about how, together with her brother, without exams, they entered the Drawing School of the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of Arts in Petrograd. She was accepted immediately into the senior class. But she could not complete her education at the Academy of Arts, as she dreamed - in the new world, the scholarship of the daughter of a titular adviser was not supposed, although her father died long ago, and her grandfather was just a carriage master. She entered the Petrograd Art and Industrial College, but the work did not work out. For some reason, the illustrations that she did for publishing houses were not printed. The fairy tales that she composed also turned out to be of no use to anyone, although even Samuil Marshak persuaded her not to give up this occupation. But it was obvious to Zinaida Astapovich herself that her fantastic stories about kings and princesses did not fit into the new scenery. And Marshak...

"Asters"

Apparently, he tried to win her favor, - the granddaughter confesses. - But she did not respond to signs of attention, and one day the poet exclaimed: “Do you know who I am? Samuil Marshak! Grandma didn't like it at all. She herself was very delicate and difficult to find mutual language with other types of people.

She married late. Although she did not plan to start a family, dreaming of doing only creativity. But, apparently, having come across, she changed her mind. The husband was the rector of the Leningrad Veterinary Institute, a rather sharp person - at the institute he was even nicknamed Ivan the Terrible. And he wrote the most tender letters to his grandmother. And for many years he continued to send her money after they divorced.

"Evening Vitebsk"

She gave in again. Her first love was Taras Belyavsky, a teacher at an agricultural college in Maryina Gorka, who looked so much like Byron, but his wife was Zinaida's younger sister Zoya, the complete opposite of her in character. Years later, Zinaida Antonovna herself invited her husband to stay with the one who saved him in besieged Leningrad. Zinaida Bocharova spent the war in evacuation with her sister's family and daughter Nina. Later, she built the same sincere relationship with the new family of her ex-husband. But the first address, where she rushed from the evacuation, belonged to the family of her brother, who died heroically near Orel. A brother who appreciated her work so much, who promised to “do everything I can to help You fly high in sunshine"... Arkady Astapovich, who is now called one of the founders of the national graphics, before the war participated in almost all large-scale exhibitions of Belarusian art, more than 200 of his works were acquired by the National Art Museum back in the 1960s - long before the appearance in museum collections painting by his sister.

"Sunset"

She threw out a lot of her drawings, - continues Elena Dmitrievna. - She said: this is for the dacha for kindling. But I didn't burn anything, and others didn't. Was she not of this world? No, after all ... I remember how shocked I was when, on the day of the death of my daughter, my mother, my grandmother, instead of crying, went to cook soup. Because there were others to take care of. The only thing she said was that good should be done to people during their lifetime. She had this intelligence, balance. Although I remember something else - the extraordinary fairy tales that she composed in childhood for my brother and me, every day is a new story. And after putting us to bed, she went to her pantry, which she used as a workshop.

"Dahlias"

“When I didn’t draw, it worried me, it was impossible not to draw,” Zinaida Antonovna patiently answered the journalists, who stubbornly did not understand how a person who was clearly endowed with a rare talent could voluntarily spend his whole life in obscurity. And she added: “Now my eyesight is not very good, it’s more difficult to work, but I still need to try.”

“If You did one good job every year, until the end of Your days a small gallery of masterpieces would be created,” her brother once wrote to her. For 95 years of her life, Zinaida Astapovich-Bocharova left more than one hundred amazing paintings.
