Intelligent Russian girl

Anyone who marries a Russian girl, like a Venetian dozhu, with the Adriatic obruchayuschemusya: he never knew that hidden in its depths - pearls, monsters, pearly shells or hurricanes. She - very embodiment unknown. Now, if a girl - from aristocratic families, it will be similar to distant relative Lady Wire de Vire only national arrogance there will be less and grace - much more.

The thing is that the citizens of Russia, be they men, women or children who do not fall into traditional stereotypes. In this country, too many tribes and languages, religions and peoples, and peremeshivayuschihsya varyaschihsya Ethnographic in a giant boiler, which hinders the education of clear features representatives of different classes. All stays in constant motion, all constantly changing, sometimes oblekayas the ancient form, sometimes in defiance of the feelings of decency.

Moreover, in the country there is no middle class in our understanding: generations of citizens with decent annual income and has the mind that allows money to dispose of those reserves. Kuptsov of the country in abundance, but for the most part they belong to those who called the 'fist', which oppress the poor and profit from simple, are black coat and boots to the ground, with a strong smell nedublenoy skin look long and affectionate look at the wine , which is red and sparkle and the bowl until it stings them, as the serpent. Ostrowski perfectly described them in his plays even before Maxim Gorky created images of the worst of their breed.

Therefore, to describe a girl belonging to the Russian middle class, the same as painting a picture of wood at all. There are oak, there are birch, poplar there, but the average tree exists only in the imagination. But if you delve into the subject, then find that in any corner of the Russian Empire can be found representatives of numerous class who call themselves intellectuals. It belongs to the people who finished grammar school, university or other higher education institutions, notably the intellectuals Muscovy really corresponds to the image of our middle class. I typical girl belonging to this social group, will be strikingly different from their sisters living in Europe and other parts of the world.

She too formed

To begin with, or Olga formed Hope too. Her head hammered by abstract theories and soul snedaema thirst make our imperfect world perfect. She saw too little of their parents and too much time spent in a society of teachers, as belonging to a middle-class family moskovitskie as figuratively speak Russian, 'climb out of the skin' to make their children from intellectuals. Same mother may occur from peasant families and to be almost illiterate, but for the children it hires governess, which sometimes this lady, and teachers tend to be obsessed student, and the first-blunted wants her daughter has learned to speak French, English and German. If parents empty wallet, they Hajiev rapids friends or even strangers in the hope of receiving a scholarship for the daughter to study in public school. And very often their chores crowned success. In Russian schools without such care costing less than 10 per cent of students.

Thus, at a time when the father is serving or playing in the cards in his club, and my mother enjoys opera or fascinates hearts of young people at the family holiday, the girl is granted influence other people's books, or people in the room too hot natoplennoy that harmful acts on her nerves and undermines health.

The Russians did not educate girls so that they become wives and mothers, led economy, served as comfort to the care of her husband and children. For them, such a fate similar to the degradation of almost undisguised slavery, and intelligent young women would never become slaves. Therefore, Olga simply not well educated girl, she continues to myself. She read the works of John Stuart Mill, can cite his arguments in favour of women's equality, overpowered 'Stories of civilizations' Buckley (Buckle), is familiar with' Don Carlos' Schiller and still possessed thirst for knowledge. In grammar school, where girls learn Russian, the program is not very different from what is taught in schools male, but although latynyu ladies at the 'you', Greek for them to be Chinese literate. If she spends best years of life at school and passes all the tests, then receive a diploma, which would allow it to act in one of the many institutions of higher education or a medical institution that, over time, become a doctor. After the girl overcomes all of these tests seriously, it opened the following possibilities: it can get a seat school teacher, decent wages, it would provide housing and firewood, and when she sostaritsya, it will pay a lifetime pension. In its statistical committees waiting less pleasant, but it is decent work. Ustroivshis governess, she could receive from 60 to 100 pounds a year, and if it lucky, marry the heir. Profession same doctor offers her hard work for low rewards. Sometimes placeholders, and this is not to deny women doctors living in livelihoods, which do not infringe upon their professional male counterparts. But as a rule, they do not wish to accept the konkurentkami and did not allow a weak semi qualify for lucrative seats.

She does not like to engage in housework

There are many reasons why Russian girls do not like to deal with the home of any kind. Since it is - a form of slavery, it is naturally a matter of disgust. Moreover, since childhood, they used to the fact that everything they do for others. When they go to school, obuvayut servants in their boots and galoshes are behind them aa textbook, cut meat during lunch, tea and nalivayut put them there sugar. And, as you know, habit - second kind, especially when the habit is directly concerned with your comfort. Therefore, an educated girl could not tolerate even the easy job. Your correspondent has been able to make sure himself a few years ago. He was asked to help find a governess in the family of English at extremely favorable terms. Among the professor's daughter was out, which for a variety of reasons has been very interested in obtaining the site, as well as her family. All of the conditions set by mutual agreement, but suddenly at the eleventh hour of negotiations concluded nothing of the fact that the girl did not want to give up on the most trivial issue. The mistress of the house where she ustraivalas to work, expressed the wish that sometimes governess razlivala tea to guests. And then the Moscow girl has dot the 'and'. 'Intelligent work is not compatible with the filing of tea' - she remarked. And because the girl did not want to yield some of its principles, she stayed home.

Intelligent girls in Russia are paying little or no attention to his appearance, among their daily concerns are negligible wear seat. Usually they are simple brown, black or gray dress, their wardrobe affects small amount of caps and jewelry. They do not spend money on things elegant, as do others, but on the books and magazines.

Yet they - temperamentny. This - women whose hidden feelings for umopostroeniyami logical. They are endowed with generous heart, though he directs the mind. These girls from birth tend to the whole heroic, they crave a field outside the home or even cities - even little world! -- they live ambitious dreams worthy of Alexander the Great.

Summing up, one can say that the Russian girl does not fit into the generally accepted understanding of what must be a girl. It has many features representatives family koshachih: it somewhat mysterious, somewhat fanatichna, and sometimes resembles a sphinx. She denied prejudice - at least, the generally - and so is the inexhaustible source of surprises. Of the girls, she unknowingly becomes a ibsenovskuyu Nora, as well as at its winter home suddenly turns into summer. And so cozy family home could become a scene overnight to harrowing dramas, as a dedicated husband will be left sake accidental's fan. Unfortunately, 'Kreytserova Sonata' is not the fruit of pure imagination of Count Tolstoy. Of course, the ladies could moskovitstkuyu to domesticate and tame, but in certain circumstances it dormant heroic and fanatical awaken feelings, for example, life's hardships can be like a spear Iturielya reveal its true essence of peace and to show a woman able to boundless devotion and self-sacrifice.
