Ivan Franko National University of Lviv(Jan Casimir University in 1918-1939) is one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe and the oldest university in Ukraine. One of the most prestigious universities in Ukraine. Lviv Academy with the rights of the university was created. In 1773, the Jesuit order was banned, the university closed. Restored in 1784, it was called Joseph University. In 1805-1817 the Lyceum. In 1817 it was re-established as the Franz I University.

1. Foundation and early history of the University

Former main building of the university (1851-1923)

1.1. background

During the Renaissance, Lviv was a famous educational city of Central Europe, in which the educational and religious society "Lviv Brotherhood" (1439) and the printing house of Stepan Dropan (1460) operated. If the first university in Central Europe - Karlov (Prague, Czech Republic) originates from a secular school (1348), then Lviv University (now named after I. Franko), similarly, begins its chronology with the creation in November 1372 of a monastic school, which he founded Russian prince Vladislav, together with the Order of the Franciscans, who, along with missionary work, also carried out educational activities.

In the XVI - XVII centuries. Church brotherhoods were the centers of cultural life in Ukrainian lands. Using the support of the townspeople and the clergy, they contributed to the spread of the ideas of humanism, the development of science and schools. The most ancient in Ukraine was the Assumption Stavropegian Brotherhood in Lvov, which became an outstanding Ukrainian cultural center. A fraternal school operated in Lvov, which was a secondary educational institution. Church Slavonic, Greek, Latin and Polish languages, mathematics, grammar, rhetoric, astronomy, philosophy and other disciplines were studied here. Members of the Lviv Brotherhood even planned to turn their "gymnasium" (as they called this school) into a higher educational institution. Outstanding figures of Ukrainian culture of the end of the 16th - the first half of the 17th centuries worked and were educated in the Lviv fraternal school: Lavrentiy Zizaniy (Kukol) and his brother Stepan, Kirill Stavrovetsky, Ivan Boretsky and others.

By the middle of the XVII century. there was not a single higher educational institution in Ukraine. Noble Poland resisted the creation of a higher school here, which could become a dangerous political and cultural center. Ukrainian youth is forced to receive higher education within the walls of Krakow and other European universities.

4.2.1. Department of General and Social Pedagogy

Higher pedagogical education in Lviv was founded in the year when a course called "Pedagogy" or "Science of Education" appeared in the curriculum. It was part of the theological training and was based on the Austrian textbooks by A. G. Nemaer and E. ice. The first lectures on pedagogy for students of the faculties of philosophy and theology were read by a graduate of the University of Prague Vaclav (Wenzel) Michal Voigt, who was the first teacher of this discipline also at the University of Krakow. During the first half of XIX V. professors of pedagogy were the Vice-Rector of the Greek Catholic Theological Seminary Jan Frederovich, theologian and religious leader Iosif Yarina, a specialist in aesthetics and oratory Ignacy Pollak, the future Greek Catholic Metropolitan Grigory Yakhimovich, theologians Franz Amtmann and Ludwig Malinovsky, and the same Greek Catholic clergyman Franz Kostek.

Pedagogy was taught at the Faculty of Philosophy: Professor Evsevy Cherkavsky ( - ), Professor Alexander Skursky ( - ), Associate Professor Anthony Danish ( - ), Professor Boleslav Mankovsky. ( - ), Associate Professor Zygmunt Kukulsky ( - ), Associate Professor Kazimir Sosnitsky ( - ), Professor Bogdan Suchodolsky ( - ), Associate Professor Stefan Truch (). Subjects of the training courses: "General Pedagogy", "Practical Pedagogy", "Pedagogical Exercises", "Pedagogical Psychology", "Gymnasium Pedagogy", "Fundamentals of Didactics", etc. Academic disciplines of the psychological and pedagogical cycle were taught by Associate Professor Julian Okhorovich ( - ) and Professor Kazimir Tvardovsky ( - ).

At the theological faculty in the city, students listened to lectures on pedagogy and catechism and methodology, from the year - separately Ukrainian (Joseph Delkevich and Ivan Bartoshevsky) and Polish (Marcel Palivoda and Blazhey Yashovsky) languages. Operated a seminary with catechism and methodology.

Today, the rector of the university is a professor of the Department of Theoretical Physics

Today, there are more than 800 universities in Ukraine, among which a special place is occupied by one of the oldest higher educational institutions in Eastern Europe - Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

Ivan Franko National University of Lviv: history

LNU has such an interesting and eventful history that even a summary of it would take more than one page. Suffice it to say that it was founded on the basis of the Jesuit Collegium, which has been operating in Lviv since 1608. In 1661, King Jan II Casimir signed an act granting this educational institution the rights of a university. Thus, until 1773 Lviv University was under the leadership of the Jesuits, and theology, philosophy and Latin were considered the main subjects. After the entry of Galicia into the Habsburg Empire, the activities of the Jesuit society, as well as other Catholic orders, were discontinued, and teaching began to be conducted in Ukrainian. A century later, the well-known writer and politician Ivan Franko, whose name was given to the LNU (then LSU) in 1940, studied at Lviv University. In the last decades of the 20th century, as part of the modernization of the university, modern and several new departments were introduced here, which cannot but please teachers and students.

Story

The history of the university dates back to the 17th century.

in the 16th - 17th centuries, religious brotherhoods were cultural centers in the Ukrainian lands. With the support of hamburgers and the clergy, they contributed to the spread of the ideas of humanism and science, and also funded a network of schools. The oldest community in Ukraine is the stavropegic twinning in Lviv, which has become a famous Ukrainian cultural center. A Brotherhood school was opened in Lvov in 1586. Church Slavonic, Greek, Latin and Polish languages, as well as mathematics, grammar, rhetoric, astronomy, philosophy and other disciplines were taught here. The lion members of the fraternities were even planning to turn the "himnasion" (as they called the school) into a university. Such prominent figures of Ukrainian culture of the late 16th to early 17th centuries as Lavrentiy Zyzaniy (behind) and his brother Stepan, Kyrylo Stavrovetskyi, Ivan Boretskyi and others worked and were educated in the Lviv School Brotherhood.

By the middle of the seventeenth century there was no higher education in Ukraine. The pans are against the creation of a secondary school, which could become a dangerous political and cultural center. Ukrainian young people had to get higher education in Krakow and other European universities.

In accordance with the Gadyach Treaty (1658) between Ukraine and the Commonwealth, two universities were to be opened on Ukrainian lands: one in Kiev, and the other in any suitable place for it. Both universities were promised the same rights that Krakow University had. Influential circles of the Commonwealth assumed that, under the pressure of certain political circumstances, two national universities could be formed in Ukraine. At the same time, the Jesuit Order for the Defense of Catholicism in Ukraine had high hopes for their center in Lvov. The Jesuits appeared in Lviv at the end of the 17th century. In 1608, they opened their own school here. By the middle of the seventeenth century this school had declined, but it was saved from destruction, as it was supported by the Polish magnates. The Jesuits understood the possibility of creating a university based on their school in Lvov. Thus, they constantly demanded to turn their school into an academy. After repeated requests, on January 20, 1661, King Jan II Casimir signed the Charter granting the school under the auspices of the Lviv Jesuit Collegium, "The honor of the Academy and the title of the university" with the right to teach all subjects at the university and to confer the degree of bachelor, licentiate, master and doctorate . However, immediately after the signing of the charter, the creation of the Academy strongly opposed the University of Krakow and some influential officials. Despite the obstacles, research at the University of Lviv was carried out along the lines of other European academies. Later in 1758, the Polish King August III approved the charter issued by Jan II Casimir on January 20, 1661. From its founding until 1773, Lviv University was completely under the control of the Jesuit order and subordinated to the Jesuit general in Rome. The university is headed by a rector. The main building of the academy was near Krakowska Street in the city center. The university was built and acquired new premises, there was its library and the largest printing house in Lviv.

The university consisted of two departments (faculties): philosophical and theological. There was a pre-university school for those who wish to continue their studies at the university.

Historical records show that in 1667, about 500 students were studying and eight teachers were working in the philosophical and theological departments. In the middle of the eighteenth century, the number of students increased to 700, the number of teachers 15-17. Poles made up 75% of the students, the rest were representatives of Ukrainian and other ethnic groups.

The educational process at Lviv University was carried out according to the program of the Jesuit school, developed at the end of the sixteenth century. Significant changes in the program were made only in the middle of the eighteenth century. At the Department of Philosophy, they mainly taught the philosophical system of Aristotle, which included logic, physics and metaphysics; speaking of physics, the elements of mathematics, astronomy, biology, meteorology were considered; speaking of metaphysics - a matter of psychology and ethics. Besides, history, geography, Greek and other subjects were taught. At the Department of Philosophy, the studies lasted for two or three years. After completing studies in this department, one would receive a theological education. In the Department of Theology, the studies lasted for four years. The history of the Church, the Old and New Testaments, dogmatic and moral theology, canon law, casuistry, the Hebrew language were taught in this department. All university courses were taught by professors.

In the second half of the eighteenth century, in connection with the development of scientific knowledge, there were certain changes in the educational process of the university. In 1744 the Department of Mathematics was opened, headed by F. Grodzicki who is the author of a textbook on architecture and mathematics. the laboratories of mathematical physics and the University of the Astronomical Observatory were opened. polish, French, German, geography and history were taught as separate subjects. Well-known scientists worked here: historian K. Niesiecki, mathematicians F. Grodzitski and T. Siekierzyński, writer G. Piramowicz, public figure, poet, writer and philosopher I. Krasicki. Such famous people, like me. Giesel, M.Slotvynskyi, Ya.Bohomolovskyi and many other university graduates.

After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773, Lviv University was closed. Soon, however, a number of divisions of the Jesuit Academy laid the foundation for the Emperor Joseph University in Lvov.

In 1772, Galicia became part of the Austrian Empire. In order to centralize and Germanize the multinational state, the government of Emperor Joseph II paid great attention to education, including higher education. Lvov provided for the university. The replacement of teaching positions in the departments was to be done through competition with the admission of candidates, regardless of their nationality and religion.

The University received the premises of the former Trinitarian Order on Krakivska Street. A government charter of June 17, 1784 determines the staff of the faculty and the budget of the university. In October of the same year, a diploma and a manual for the administration of the university were issued. The diploma stated that Lviv University consisted of four faculties: philosophy, law, medicine and theology. The university's inauguration took place on November 16th, 1784.

Between 1805 and 1817, the school functioned on the basis of Lviv University. This was due to the reform of higher education in the Austrian state. The analysis shows that most of the subjects continued to study within the university. The same ability continued to work.

The highest governing body of the university was the Senate (consistory). It consisted of the rector, deans and seniors (the oldest and most experienced teachers). The Senate resolved major issues that concerned the overall management of the university. All other cases were decided by the deans, who also served as heads of departments. It should be noted that the university had a certain autonomy.

The secondary school established in 1784 is responsible for preparing students for university entrance. The training was conducted in German and Latin and lasted 5 years. During the first three years, all students used the Faculty of Philosophy program in their studies. After graduating from the Faculty of Philosophy, students either continued their studies at the same faculty to deepen their knowledge on a particular topic or chose one of the higher faculties - law, medicine or theology, where the study continued for four years. The training was conducted in Latin, Polish and German. In 1825 the department of the Polish language and literature was opened.

In 1787, the Studium Ruthenum functioned at the Faculty of Theology. It was, of course, two years spent in Ukrainian. She continued her work until 1806. Such prominent figures of the Ukrainian nation as Markiyan Shashkevich, Yakov Kholovatskyi, Yuriy Venelin (invalid) are associated with the Lviv University of the first decades of the nineteenth century.

Physics at Lviv University in the second half of the eighteenth to the beginning of the nineteenth century was introduced by Professor F. Funding Guss, i. Martinovics, A. Hiltenbrand, Ivan Zemanchyk, A . Gloisner A. Kunzek and A. Zavadsky, but only a few of them had scientific achievements in the field of physical science. In particular, Prof. I. Martinovics (1755-1795) wrote a two-volume textbook on experimental physics. A well-known scientist from the 1780s, F. Funding Guss (1741-1806) published in Vienna a two-volume description of the age of the earth in terms of physics. Ivan Zemanchyk did a lot to increase the amount of equipment available at the faculty. Professor. A.Kunzek (1795-1865), who was interested in physics in addition to astronomy and even taught mathematics and classical philology, wrote scientific papers and seven books (e.g. "Teaching of Light", "Popular Astronomy," "Popular Science of Meteorology" etc.).

1. Schiverek (1742-1807) was the first professor of botany and chemistry at Lviv University. His main achievements include research on mineral water deposits in the Carpathian region and the creation of a botanical garden.

One of the first professional mathematicians at the university was F. Kodesh (1761-1831), who wrote a textbook on mathematics. The manual "Elements of Pure Mechanics" brought fame to the outstanding Austrian mathematician L. Schulz from Straßnitzki (1803-1852), who taught at the university in 1834-1838. The subject of natural history was taught at the university by prof. W. Hacquet (1740-1815). He was a pioneer in the field of geology in Galicia.

In the field of philosophy, the name of Peter Lodiy (1764-1829) should be noted. He wrote textbooks, including Metaphysics and Logical Instructions. A number of works on philosophy were written by I. Hanus (1812-1869). L. ten Mark (1753-1814) was the first professor of history at the university. He was also a specialist in the auxiliary historical disciplines and wrote a manual on the subject. Mr. Uhlich (1743-1794) was the first professor of auxiliary historical disciplines. He founded a reading room in Lviv, wrote a textbook on diplomacy and numismatics. He was also the author of a number of works on history. The professor of general history and the history of Austria J. Mauss (1778-1856) was very popular with the students.

Classical philology in 1784 was taught by V. he (1763-1816), who, in addition to linguistics, was interested in the problems of aesthetics and published a two-volume collection of his own poems. He also wrote several works on literary history. Among the linguists, professors I. Pollack (1785-1825) and Leopold Umlof (1757 - 1807) are also noteworthy.

In the 1820s and 30s, studies in local history and the humanities were revived. University student I.Mohylnytskyi prepared the first Ukrainian grammar published in Galicia. He came out in 1829. this foreword in Russian is given short review history of Ukraine. He also identified Ukrainian as an independent language among the East Slavic languages. Professor of Lviv National University

I.Lavrivskyi compiled six volumes of the Ukrainian-Polish-German dictionary and is translated Tale of Bygone Years into Polish. A significant contribution to the study of local history was made by Professor M. Hrynevetskyi. He collected incunabula and other ancient monuments.

The law science of time was based on the so-called historical school of law. Professor. J. Winivarter was an outstanding researcher in the field of civil law. He worked in Ukraine from 1806 to 1827 and published several scientific papers.

The events of the Polish national liberation uprising of 1830-1831 and the revolution of 1848 had a significant impact on the development of Lviv University. University students actively participated in the activities. During the uprising of 1848, the university building burned down. His valuable scientific library, which consisted of more than 51 thousand volumes, was destroyed. Valuable manuscripts were also burned. Since the university equipment was severely damaged, there was not a single study going on for a long time.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, university facilities expanded. since 1851, the University has been located in a house in St. Mykolay Street (currently Grushevsky Street). In 1891, after a project by the architect J.Braunseis, a separate building for the chemical, geological and mineralogical, as well as for the pharmacological institutes were created in Dlugosh Street (now SS. Cyril and Methodius Street). In 1894, the premises for the newly formed Faculty of Medicine on Pekařská Street were completed. In 1905, new premises were built for the university library.

The supreme governing body of the university at that time was the academic senate, consisting of the rector, vice-rector, deans, representatives of the faculty and the secretary. Such aspects of university life as academic process, research, academic degrees, and administrative affairs were the responsibility of the Senate.

There were three faculties at Lviv University until almost the end of the nineteenth century: Faculties of Law, Philosophy and Theology. Taking into account the number of students and teachers and government priorities, the Faculty of Law was in the lead in the university. in November 1891, after a long delay, the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I ordered the opening of a medical faculty. The ceremony was solemnly held on September 9, 1894.

Each of the four faculties was guided by a collegiate body - the faculty council professors, or panel, which included the dean, all the professors and two elected faculty representatives.

Departments in the modern sense of the word do not exist. The department was associated with the personality of the professor who delivered the course of lectures. However, there are certain research institutes associated with the university that roughly correspond to the modern concept of a department or office. Practical workshops were held in these institutions. In addition, they had permanent premises, equipment, staff and a library. In September 1894, the university archive was set up to store books published up to 1848.

The teaching staff of Lviv University consisted of professors, teaching assistants and lecturers. The right to teach at a university (or teach a quarter) can only be obtained after receiving a doctoral degree, undergoing habilitation and approval by the Ministry of Education in Vienna. The size of the faculty is constantly increasing. There were only 27 teachers 1850/51. The number of teachers increased to 169 in 1913/14. Lviv University students were also divided into certain categories: ordinary students (ordinary), extraordinary students (extraordinary) and volunteers. As a rule, women who attended lectures by agreement with teachers were called volunteers. In 1851, 699 students studied at Lviv University (including 302 at the Faculty of Law, 89 at the Faculty of Philosophy, 308 at the Faculty of Theology). In 1890/91, there were already 1255 (683, 189, 358 people respectively). In 1900/01, the number increased to 2060 students (Faculty of Law - 1284, Faculty of Philosophy -309, Faculty of Medicine - 127, Faculty of Theology - 340). In 1913/14, there were 5871 pupils (3493, 1229, 971 and 358 respectively).

During the second half of the nineteenth century, women struggled to be able to attend universities. In 1897, women were allowed to study at the Faculty of Philosophy, and in 1900, at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy Department. Women have repeatedly demanded to be able to study law, but the government won't let that happen.

Most students pay for the opportunity to study at the university. Students of the theological faculty were allowed not to pay tuition fees. At secular faculties, only a part of the students used such benefits (students who submitted a certificate of poverty and successfully completed a semester of colloquia). In addition to tuition, students paid for exams, colloquia, seminars, and for being allowed to use the library.

There were also student scholarships. Scholarships are funded primarily by donations from individuals. The most famous were scholarships named after K. Ludwik, J. Slovak, J. Tsalevych, Hayetskyi and others. Students can use the common rooms, but places were limited.

In law, the philosophical and theological faculties of research lasted for four years, in the medical faculty - five, in the pharmaceutical department of the medical faculty - two or three years. The academic year is divided into two semesters: winter (October 1 to March 20) and summer (end of April - end of July) semesters. The students had a choice of subjects. In the 70s teaching at all faculties was carried out mainly in German, Latin American at the Faculty of Theology; several subjects are taught in Ukrainian and Polish. On April 27, 1869, by special decree of the emperor, Polish was recognized as the official language in the region. As a result, Polonization is gradually set in. In 1870, 13 subjects were taught in Polish, 46 in German, 13 in Latin, 7 in Ukrainian. On July 4, 1871, Emperor Franz Joseph I ordered the abolition of restrictions on lecturing in Polish and Ukrainian in the law and philosophy departments. So, in 1906, 185 subjects were taught in Polish, 5 in German, 14 in Latin, 19 in Ukrainian.

In the 1870s, Ivan Franko, a famous Ukrainian writer, scientist, translator, political and public figure, studied at the Faculty of Philosophy of Lviv University. He is one of the geniuses of Ukraine, who went down in history as the "Titan of Labor."

famous scientists, writers, public figures such as M.Pavlyk, O.Terletskyi, V.Navrotskyi, O.Makovey, Yu.Puzyna and others spent their student years at our university in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.

The scientific life of Lviv University in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century has undergone significant changes. New subjects, new classes were introduced, laboratories were created. Wrote books for teachers study guides, as well as valuable research, mainly in the natural sciences. In the field of physical sciences, the names of professors V. pierre, W. Urbansky, A . Handl, T. Staneck, i. Zakrzewski, M. Smoluchowski is worth veneration. In particular, Professor V. Pierre received equipment for the physics laboratory, which was destroyed in 1848. W. Urbansky published a two-volume scientific textbook on physics. In 1879, Professor of Experimental Physics T. Staneck (1826-1891) published many textbooks on physics and mathematics. since 1899, worldwide famous physicist M. Smolukhovsky (1872-1917) worked at the university. The main works he wrote while at the university are "The motion of gas molecules and its connection with the theory of diffusion","On the kinetic theory of Brownian molecular motion and suspension".

professors I. Lemoch, W. Żmurko, J. Puzyn, W. Sierpinsky, p. Yanishevsky representatives of mathematical science at Lviv University. Practical lessons on the basics of geodesy by I. Lemoch, "About Mathematics" by W. Żmurko and two volumes " Theory of Analytic Functions» with the help of J. Puzyna should be noted in this regard.

The first Department of Chemistry was opened at Lviv University in 1801. The most prominent chemists of the period were Prof. B. Radziszewski (1838-1914) and Prof. S.

A significant contribution to the development of geographical sciences was made by E. Romer (1871-1954) and Ukrainian geographer S. L. Rudnytskyi (1877-1937).

Ukrainian researcher H. Velichko (doctorate in 1889) was the first graduate student of Professor A. Cheer.

In 1852, two departments of zoology and botany were established on the basis of the Department of Natural History. The development of zoology at the university is associated primarily with the names of the following prominent scientists: W. Dybowski (1833-1930), author of more than 350 scientific papers, Professor J. Nusbaum-Hiliarowicz (1859-1917), founder of the Polish school of evolutionists.

It consisted of five faculties: History, Philology (Departments of Ukrainian Language and Literature, Slavic Philology, Romano-Germanic Philology), Faculty of Law, Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (Departments of Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics), Faculty of Natural Sciences (Departments of Biology, Chemistry , geography, geology). Two new governing bodies were formed: the Academic Council of the University and the Faculty Council. They dealt with issues of education, methodology, scientific work, as well as awarded scientific degrees and academic titles. The department remained the main teaching and research unit. In 1940, there were 52 departments. They conducted training events, advanced courses, special seminars and training programs, Conducted research.

In the faculties of the humanities, studies continued for four years, and in the faculties of natural sciences for five years. In 1940, correspondence studies were introduced to the faculties of History, Philology, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics. A branch of the All-Union Correspondence Institute of Law was opened at the Faculty of Law.

The first scientific session of teachers took place in January-February 1941. In April, the first student conference was held. In 1940, a postgraduate department was opened.

However, work was halted by German attacks on Soviet Union and the invasion of the Nazi troops on June 30, 1941. In the first 70 days, prominent scientists of the university, polytechnics and medical institutions were detained, and after beatings and bullying were shot in the area of ​​present-day Sakharov Street. Prominent scientists, including T.Boj-Zelensky, r. Longchamps Berier, M. all types, H. Auerbach, S. thing, were among those killed.

In 1942, the German occupation authorities closed the higher educational institutions of Ukraine. The invaders looted and destroyed the property of the university. The equipment, which belonged to the laboratory at the faculties of Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry, as well as the library at the Department of Folklore and Ethnography numbering 15,000 volumes, was exported to Germany. The main reading room in the scientific library was destroyed and volumes of valuable books, about five thousand old books and incunabula and 500 valuable manuscripts were taken out.

The restoration of the university began immediately after the city was liberated from the Nazi troops. On July 30, 1944, the meeting was held at the University, where the participants (127 teachers and technical staff) asked the intelligentsia to actively participate in the reconstruction of the economy, education, cultural and educational institutions of the city.

In the second half of 1944 and the first half of 1945, mainly with the help of students and teachers, many university buildings were renovated, including the Faculty of Biology at 4 Shcherbakova Street (now Grushevskaya Street), the Faculties of Chemistry and Physics at 6 and 8 Lomonosov (Now Kirill and Methodius Street). The research library and hostel at 7 Herzen Street have been renovated. The astronomical observatory and the botanical garden have been partly restored.

Famous Ukrainian writers R.Bratun, Pavlichko, R.Ivanychuk, R.Fedoriv, ​​V.Luchuk studied at the university.

In the 1950s and 60s, research groups were formed in departments and faculties. This provided the basis for the development scientific directions, including theories of plasticity and strength, differential equations, theoretical mineralogy, physical and chemical analysis of metal, national economic resources and culture of the western regions of the USSR, historical and cultural ties between the Slavic peoples. The development of most of these disciplines in subsequent years determined the scientific path of Lviv University. In the 1960s and 70s, state research subjects coordinated by the USSR expanded greatly. The question of economic contracts gradually entered into life.

Year after year, the number of students enrolled in the first year of the university has increased. This contributed to the creation of new branches.

An excerpt characterizing Ivan Franko National University of Lviv

In the booth, which Pierre entered and in which he stayed for four weeks, there were twenty-three captured soldiers, three officers and two officials.
All of them then appeared to Pierre as if in a fog, but Platon Karataev remained forever in Pierre's soul the strongest and dearest memory and personification of everything Russian, kind and round. When the next day, at dawn, Pierre saw his neighbor, the first impression of something round was completely confirmed: the whole figure of Plato in his French overcoat belted with a rope, in a cap and bast shoes, was round, his head was completely round, back, chest, shoulders, even the arms that he wore, as if always about to embrace something, were round; a pleasant smile and large brown gentle eyes were round.
Platon Karataev must have been over fifty years old, judging by his stories about the campaigns in which he participated as a longtime soldier. He himself did not know and could not in any way determine how old he was; but his teeth, bright white and strong, which kept rolling out in their two semicircles when he laughed (as he often did), were all good and whole; not a single gray hair was in his beard and hair, and his whole body had the appearance of flexibility and especially hardness and endurance.
His face, despite the small round wrinkles, had an expression of innocence and youth; his voice was pleasant and melodious. But main feature his speech was immediacy and argumentative. He apparently never thought about what he said and what he would say; and from this there was a special irresistible persuasiveness in the speed and fidelity of his intonations.
His physical strength and agility were such during the first time of captivity that he did not seem to understand what fatigue and illness were. Every day in the morning and in the evening, lying down, he said: “Lord, put it down with a pebble, raise it up with a ball”; in the morning, getting up, always shrugging his shoulders in the same way, he would say: "Lie down - curled up, get up - shake yourself." And indeed, as soon as he lay down to immediately fall asleep like a stone, and as soon as he shook himself, in order to immediately, without a second of delay, take up some business, the children, having risen, take up toys. He knew how to do everything, not very well, but not badly either. He baked, steamed, sewed, planed, made boots. He was always busy and only at night allowed himself to talk, which he loved, and songs. He sang songs, not like songwriters sing, knowing that they are being listened to, but he sang like birds sing, obviously because it was just as necessary for him to make these sounds, as it is necessary to stretch or disperse; and these sounds were always subtle, tender, almost feminine, mournful, and his face was very serious at the same time.
Having been captured and overgrown with a beard, he, apparently, threw away everything that was put on him, alien, soldierly, and involuntarily returned to the former, peasant, people's warehouse.
“A soldier on leave is a shirt made of trousers,” he used to say. He reluctantly spoke about his time as a soldier, although he did not complain, and often repeated that he had never been beaten during his entire service. When he told, he mainly told from his old and, apparently, dear memories of the "Christian", as he pronounced, peasant life. The proverbs that filled his speech were not those, for the most part, indecent and glib sayings that the soldiers say, but these were those folk sayings that seem so insignificant, taken separately, and which suddenly take on the meaning of deep wisdom when they are said by the way.
Often he said the exact opposite of what he had said before, but both were true. He loved to talk and spoke well, embellishing his speech with endearing and proverbs, which, it seemed to Pierre, he himself invented; but the main charm of his stories was that in his speech the simplest events, sometimes the very ones that, without noticing them, Pierre saw, took on the character of solemn decorum. He liked to listen to fairy tales that one soldier told in the evenings (all the same), but most of all he liked to listen to stories about real life. He smiled joyfully as he listened to such stories, inserting words and asking questions that tended to make clear to himself the beauty of what was being told to him. Attachments, friendship, love, as Pierre understood them, Karataev did not have any; but he loved and lived lovingly with everything that life brought him, and especially with a person - not with some famous person, but with those people who were before his eyes. He loved his mutt, loved his comrades, the French, loved Pierre, who was his neighbor; but Pierre felt that Karataev, in spite of all his affectionate tenderness for him (with which he involuntarily paid tribute to Pierre's spiritual life), would not have been upset for a minute by parting from him. And Pierre began to experience the same feeling for Karataev.
Platon Karataev was for all the other prisoners the most ordinary soldier; his name was falcon or Platosha, they good-naturedly mocked him, sent him for parcels. But for Pierre, as he presented himself on the first night, an incomprehensible, round and eternal personification of the spirit of simplicity and truth, he remained so forever.
Platon Karataev knew nothing by heart, except for his prayer. When he spoke his speeches, he, starting them, seemed not to know how he would end them.
When Pierre, sometimes struck by the meaning of his speech, asked to repeat what was said, Plato could not remember what he had said a minute ago, just as he could not in any way tell Pierre his favorite song with words. There it was: “dear, birch and I feel sick,” but the words did not make any sense. He did not understand and could not understand the meaning of words taken separately from the speech. Every word of his and every action was a manifestation of an activity unknown to him, which was his life. But his life, as he himself looked at it, had no meaning as a separate life. It only made sense as a part of the whole, which he constantly felt. His words and actions poured out of him as evenly, as necessary and immediately, as a scent separates from a flower. He could not understand either the price or the meaning of a single action or word.
