He invites the reader to "catch the physiognomy of the city and to keep track of how in his history a variety of changes were reflected, at the same time what happened in the highest spheres."

Appeal to the reader from the last chronicler archivis

In this chapter, the author sets itself the task - to convey the "touching compliance" of the city's power, "to the measure of the dazzing" people, "in the measure of thanks." Archivius tells about what will present the reader by the history of the board in the city of Sillious Gradorovnikov, one after the other condensed at the highest post. The narrators, four local chroniclers, set out alternately "genuine" events occurring in the city from 1731 to 1825.

About the root of the origin of silly

This chapter talks about prehistoric time, about how the an ancient tribe of the golotpov won the neighboring tribes of lukoyedov, the giromen, the shipyers, frogs, Kozobryukhih, and so on. After the victory, the gangs began to think about how to bring order in their new society, because they did not go to the way in any way: that "the Volga was confused", "the calf on the bath was dragged." They decided that they need a ruler. For this purpose, the gangs went to seek the prince, which would rule them. However, all the princes to which they applied this request were refused, because no one wanted to manage stupid people. Princes, "After thinking" by the rod, the gangs were released with the world and with "Cement". Desperate, they turned to the Novotor Warm, who managed to help find the prince. The prince of them agreed to manage, but did not live together with the gaps - he sent a voraler to the novel as his governor.

Golostapov renamed the "silly", and the city, respectively, began to be called "stupid."
To manage the fools Novotor was quite simple - this people were distinguished by submission and unquestioning execution of orders of power. However, their ruler was not happy, the Novotor wished the riots that could be packed. The final of his reign was very sad: the thief, the Novotor was defeated before the prince could not stand and sent him a loop. But the Novotor managed and from this situation to turn away - without waiting for the loop, he "killed by cucumber."

Then other rulers who sent the prince appeared in silly. All of them are Odoyets, Orlovets, Kalyazinets, - were even worse than innovative, even worse than innovative thieves. The prince is tired of such events, personally appeared in the city with a cry: "Stop!". This scream began counting "historical time".

Inventory Gradnikov, at different times in the city of silly from the Elimination supplied (1731 - 1826)

This chapter lists the singularly stupid of silly and briefly mention their "achievements". It is said about twenty-two rulers. For example, about one of the city-poraters in the document is recorded as follows: "22) Interception-Zalijatsky, Archrestig Stratilatovich, Major. Oh Semick. Drove into stupid on the white horse, burned the gymnasium and abolished science. "(The meaning of chapter) is incomprehensible)

Organic

1762 was marked by the beginning of the board of the Gradualist Dementi Varlamovich Brudastoy. The silly was surprised by the fact that their new ruler of the ruler and says nothing but two phrases: "Will not suffer!" And "Run!". They did not know what to think, until the mystery of Brudastovoy opened: his head is completely empty. Writer accidentally saw a terrible thing: the calf of the city holder was sitting at the table, but the head alone was on the table. And there was nothing in it at all. Citizens did not know what to do now. They remembered Baybakov - the wizard of time and organ affairs, which quite recently came to Brudastom. Disclaimbing Baybakov, the fools found out that the head of the city holder was equipped with a music organcifer who performed only two plays: "Will not suffer!" And "Run!". Organic fell out of order, referring on the road. The master could not fix it, so he ordered a new head in St. Petersburg, but the order was delayed.

Protection came, the final of which laid an unexpected phenomenon of the simultaneous two absolutely identical rulers-impostors. They saw each other, "took each other with their eyes,", and who observed this scene, the residents of silence slowly separated. Arriving from the province of Crazy took with him both "Gradnikov", and anarchy began in silly, which lasted a whole week.

Tale of the six Gradnitsa (painting of the silly inter part)

This time was very saturated with the events in the field of grade - the city survived the whole of six degrees. Residents observed the struggle of Iraida Lukichna Paleologoy, Clementica de Bourbon, Amalia Karlovna Shtokfish. The first assured that it is worthy to be a town team due to the fact that her husband was engaged in the Gradnichesky activities for some time, the second one was engaged, the third once herself was a gradonal pompadurash. In addition to those named, Nelka Lyadochovskaya, Dunk-Tolstophary and Matrenka-Nostril was also claimed to power. The recents in the latter claiming the role of the Gradigalls was not at all. Survil battles played in the city. The fools were treated and dropped their fellow citizens from the bell tower. The city is tired of anarchy. And here finally, a new township appeared - Semyon Konstatinovich bobbers.

News about bobbers

The renowned ruler of bobbies of rules is silly for eight years. It is noted as a man of advanced looks. Breaks developed activities that became for the city of beneficial. With it, they began to engage in medical and brewing, ordered to eat mustache and bay leaf. Its intention included an institution in the silly academy.

Hungry city

Petr Petrovich Ferdishchenko came to replace the reign. The city lived for six years in prosperity and prosperity. But at the seventh year, the Grador fell in love with Alain Osipov, the wife of the Mitka Yamchik. However, Alenka Peter Petrovich was not divided. Ferdyshchenko took all sorts of actions to force Alenka to love him, even sent Mitka to Siberia. Alenka has become favorable to the cavity of the city charter.

In silly began drought, and after it began hunger and human deaths. The fools lost patience and sent a messenger to Fddychenko, but the walker did not return. The petition donkey also did not find an answer. Then the residents rebelled and dropped alak with a bell tower. Rota soldiers came to the city to suppress the rebound.

Straw city

The next love enthusiasm of Peter Petrovich became the Strelchikh home, which he beat off the "Thuplicues". Together with the new love, fires caused by drought came to the city. Pushkarskaya Sloboda burned down, then the marsh and no longer. The silly accused Fddyshchenko in the new attack.

Fantastic traveler

Fredychenko's new stupidity hardly brought a new trouble to the townspeople: he went on a journey through the city pasture, forcing residents to give themselves with edible supplies. The journey ended after three days by the death of Fddychenko from increasing. The fools were afraid that they would be accused of intentional "banging brigadier." However, a week, the fears of citizens dissipate - arrived from the province of a new town-poorer. Decisive and active Borodavkin marked the beginning of the "golden century silly". People began to live in full abundance.

Wars for enlightenment

Vasilisk Semenovich Barodavkin, a new Gardener stupid, studied the history of the city, and decided that the only previous ruler on which it is worth equal - bobbies, and struck him not even the fact that the predecessor paved the streets of the city and gathered arrears, and the fact that it was sown mustard. Unfortunately, the people have already forgotten him and even stopped hanging out this culture. Barodavin decided to recall the former times, resume sowing mustard and eating it into food. But the inhabitants stubbornly did not want to return to the past. Stupid bunning standing on his knees. They were afraid that in the event that Barodavkin obeyed, in the future he would force them "Which either there is an abomination." The Gardener took a military campaign on the Streetskaya Slobod, "the source of all evil" to suppress the riot. The campaign lasted nine days and very successful to call it difficult. In absolute darkness, they beat their own. The city chart was undergoing treason of his supporters: once in the morning he found that a larger number of soldiers were fired, they put tin soldiers on a shift, referring to some resolution. However, the city-poraner managed to stand out, organizing a reserve from tin soldiers. He reached the settlement, but did not find anyone there. Borodavkin began to disassemble houses on logs, which made the lobody surrender.
The future brought three more wars, which also conducted for "enlightenment." The first of the three subsequent wars was led to the clarification of the city's residents of stone foundations of houses, the second is due to the refusal of the inhabitants to grow the Persian chamomile, and the third is against the institution of the Academy in the city.
The result of the Board of Borodavkin was the impoverishment of the city. The city holder did not at the point when he once again decided to burn the city.

The era of dismissal from wars

In the reduction, the following events look like this: I finally missed the city with the next ruler Captain of the villain, who changed Borodavkin. Nedomalian very soon dismissed disagreement with the imposition of the Constitution. However, the chronicler found this cause formal. The true reason was the fact that the Gardener at one time served as an extractor, which was considered as a certain extent as belonging to the democratic start. And the war of enlightenment and against him was not needed by the depleted battlefield. After the dismissal of the villain "Cherkeshhenin", Macheladze took the brazers of the board in their hands. However, his board did not affect the position in the city: a silly town did not work at all, since all his thoughts were associated exclusively with representatives of the finest gender.

Benevolensky Feofilak Irinarhovich became the successor to Mikladze. A friend of the seminary of the New Grador was Speransky, and from him, obviously, Benevolensky has passed love for legislation. They were written such laws: "Every person yes has a heart of crushing," "every soul is yelling" and "every cricket yes knows the corresponding rank of its sixth." However, Benevlensky did not have the right to write laws, he was forced to publish them secretly, and at nights to scatter their works on the city. It continued at all long ago, he was suspected of connected with Napoleon and fired.

The following was assigned a lieutenant colonel acne. It was surprising that with him the city lived in abundance, the crops were harvested huge, despite the fact that the Grador was not at all involved in his direct responsibilities. The townspeople again suspected. And they were in their suspicions of right: the leader of the nobility noticed that the head-farmer head exudes the smell of truffles. He attacked acne and ate the stuffed head of the ruler.

Mammon worship and repentance

In silly, the successor of an eaten acne appeared - Stat adviser Ivanov. However, he soon died, since "it turned out to be so small that he could not hold anything extensive."

He came to replace the Viscount de Sharicio. This ruler did not know how to do anything, except that having fun constantly, to arrange masquerades. He "did not peak and did not interfere with the administration. This last circumstance promised to extend the well-being of the fools without the end ... "But the emigrant, which allowed the residents to contact the paganism, was ordered to send abroad. Interestingly, he was a special female.

The State Advisor Eraste Andreevich Grustilov appeared next in silly. By the time of his appearance, the inhabitants of the city have already become absolute idolaters. They forgot God, immersed in debauchery and laziness. They stopped working, sow fields, hoping for some kind of happiness, and as a result - hunger came to the city. Grustilova This situation was very little careful because it was busy with balas. However, change in a short time. Paffera's pharmacist's wife influenced Grostilov, pointing to the true path of good. And the main people in the city were the poor and the coat, which in the era of idolatry found themselves on the side of life.

Residents of silly repented in their sins, but this is the case, and the silly did not begin to work. At night, the urban bond was going to read the work of the G. Insurance. This soon became known to the highest bosses and Grostilov had to say goodbye to the post-forwarder.

Confirmation repentance. Conclusion

The last town of Silver became a sullen burrurch. This man was the utter idiot - the "purest type of idiot," as the author writes. For himself, he put the only goal - to make the city of Pupys, the city of Nesplansk, "Eternally-worthy of the memory of the Grand Prince Svyatoslav Igorevich". Non-plague should look like this: urban streets should be essentially straight, houses and buildings are also identical to each other, people too. Each house should become a "settlement unit", which will observe it, Ugryum-Burchheva, a spy. The townspeople called him "Satan" and experienced a vague fear in relation to their ruler. As it turned out, not available: the Grador has developed a detailed plan and started incarnation of him. He destroyed the city without leaving the stone on the stone. Now the task of building the city of his dreams. But violated these plans of the river, it prevented. Ugryum-burver began with her a real war, used all the garbage, which remained as a result of the destruction of the city. However, the river did not give up, blurring all the erected dams and dams. Gulm-burver turned around and, leading the people, left the river away. He chose a new place for the construction of the city - even nisin, and began to build the city of his dreams. However, something went wrong. Unfortunately, what exactly prevented construction, it was not possible to find out because the records with details of this story were not preserved. Known became a junction: "... the time stopped his run. Finally, the Earth shook, the sun was alarmed ... The silver fell on NIC. Unfair horror performed on all persons, covered all the hearts. It came ... ". What exactly came, the reader remains unknown. However, the fate of Ugryum-Burchev is as follows: "Prokhvost instantly disappeared, as if dissolved in the air. The story ceased to their ".

Promotion documents

In the final of the story, "justifications" are published, which are writings of Borodkin, Mikelaj and Benevolensky, written in the edification of other deceitors.

Conclusion

Images of the city holders are written off with historical personalities, many events also refer to palace coups. The full version of the story will definitely give an opportunity to get acquainted in detail with the content of the work.

Frame from the movie "It" (1989)

This story is the "genuine" chronicle of the city of Studeva, the "silly chronicler", an embracing period of time from 1731 to 1825, which the four silly archivissal "was respected". In the chapter "From the publisher", the author particularly insists on the authentication of the Chronicler and offers the reader to "catch the physiognomy of the city and to keep track of how a variety of changes were reflected in his stories that at the same time occurring in the highest spheres."

The "chronicler" opens with "appealing to the reader from the last archivist-chronicle." The archivist sees the chronicler's task in "being a fine" "touching compliance" - the authorities, "to the measure of daring", and the people, "in the measure of thanks to". The story is thus constituted by the history of the Board of various city holders.

First, the head of the prehistoric "On the root of the origin of the silly", where it is narrating about how the ancient people of Golotpov defeated the neighboring tribes of the shipyard, Lukoyedov, Kosobryukhih, etc. But, not knowing what to do to be order, the gangs went to look for a prince . They were not addressed to the same prince, but even the most stupid princes did not want to "water with stupid" and, after having a rod, let them go with the secret. Then they called for a viola-novel gangs, which helped them find the prince. The prince of "Volodya" agreed with them, but did not go to them, sent a violant-novel instead of himself. The same gangs called the prince of "silly", hence the name of the city.

The fools were people submissive, but the Novotor needed rebellion to pacify them. But soon he was stunned that the prince "sent the wrong slave a loop." But the Novotor "And here it was sure: \u003c...\u003e without waving a loop, got sled with cucumber."

S sent to the prince and more rulers - the Oyoevts, Orlovtsy, Kalyazinz, - but they all turned out to be a thieves. Then the prince "... I have a person's own person in silly and crushing:" Standby! ". With these words, historical times began. "

In 1762, Dementy Brudatsky arrived in silly. He immediately struck the fools with sullen and a few. His only words were "won't bearing!" And "Run!". The city was lost in guessing, while once writing, entering the report, did not see a strange spectacle: the body of the city holder, as usual, was sitting at the table, the head was completely empty on the table. The stupid was shocked. But then they remembered the watch and organ cases of Master Baybakov, who secretly visited the city holder, and, calling him, everyone found out. In the head of the city holder, in one corner, the organizing was placed, which could perform two musical plays: "Razor!" And "Will not tolerate!". But on the road, the head was sent and needed to be fixed. Bybakov himself could not cope and appealed for help in St. Petersburg, from where they promised to send a new head, but for some reason he was delayed.

The invalidation has come, which ended in the appearance of two identical city holders at once. "The impostors met and measured each other with their eyes. The crowd slowly and in silence broke up. " From the province immediately arrived writing and took both impostors. And the silly, remaining without a hail, immediately fell into anarchy.

Anarchy lasted the next week, during which six townsmen have changed in the city. Multiplers rushed from Iraida Lukichna Paleologic to Clementhing De Bourbon, and from her to Amalia Karlovna Shtokfish. The claims were first based on the short-term urban activity of her husband, the second - father, and the third - and herself was a town-unchalterous pompadurash. The claims of the Lyadohovskaya nerd, and then Dunk-Tolstoy and Matrenki-nostrils were even less reasonable. In the interruptions between military actions, the silly dumped from the bell tents of some citizens and the other ones. But they are tired of anarchy. Finally, a new city driver arrived in the city - Semyon Konstantinovich Breakov. His activity in silly was beneficial. "He introduced medical care and brewing and made mandatory use of mustard and laurel sheets," and also wanted to establish an academy in a silly.

In the next ruler, Peter Petrovich Fddyshchenka, the city flourished for six years. But at the seventh year, Faddychka was embarrassed by the demon. The town-player won the love for the Yamchikovka wife Alenka. But Alenka answered him with refusal. Then, with a number of consecutive measures of the husband of Alenki, Mitka, branded and sent to Siberia, and Alenka was formed. On stupid, drought fell across the town teams, and hunger came after her. People began to die. Then came the end and silly patience. At first they sent a walker to Fddychenka, but the walker did not return. Then we sent a petition, but it did not help. Then I got to Alenka, dropped it from the bell tower. But Ferdychenko did not sleep, but wrote the reports to the authorities. Bread did not send him, but the team of soldiers arrived.

Through the next fading of the Fddyshki, the satellite, fires came to the city. Pushkarskaya Sloboda was burning, for her, the Sobolta and Bottomans. Fddyshchenko again stunned, returned her homework's homemade and called the team.

The Board of Fddyshchenka is over the journey. The city-poraner went to the city pasture. In different places he was welcomed by the townspeople and waited for lunch. On the third day, Fddyshchenko died of essay.

The successor of Fddyshchenki, Vasilisk Semenovich Barodavkin, the position began decisively. Having studied the story of silly, he found only one sample to imitate - bobbies. But his achievements were already forgotten, and the silly even stopped sowing mustard. Barodavkin commanded to fix this error, and the olive oil added to punishment. But the fools did not give in. Then Bourzdavkin went to a military campaign on the Strethotsky Slobod. Not everything in the nine-day campaign was successful. In the dark, they beat their own. Many real soldiers were fired and replaced by tin soldiers. But Borodavkin survived. Having reached the Slobody and not a drop, he began to remove the houses on the logs. And then Sloboda, and for her and the whole city surrendered. Subsequently there were several more enlightenment wars. In general, the Board led to the cloister of the city, finally ended in the next ruler, villains. In such a state of stupid and found Cherkeshenin Mikladze.

This board did not have any events. Micheladze pulled away from administrative measures and was engaged only by the female sex, which was a big hunter. The city was rested. "There were few visible facts, but the investigation is countless."

Cherkeshhenina Feofilak Irinarhovich Benevolensky, friend and comrade Speransky in the seminary. He was distinguished by passion for legislation. But since the township did not have the right to publish his laws, Benevolensky issued laws secretly, in the house of the tracca of milking, and at night I spread them around the city. However, it was soon fired for intercourse with Napoleon.

The next was the lieutenant colonel acne. He didn't do business at all, but the city was blooming. Vintage were huge. The fools are alerted. And the mystery of acne was revealed by the leader of the nobility. The big lover of minced meat, the leader hurt that from the head of the city executor smells like truffles and, without causing, attacked and ate stuffed head.

After the Stat adviser Ivanov arrived in the city, but "it turned out to be so small that he could not hold anything extensive," and died. His successor, emigrant Viscount de Sharia, was constantly having fun and was sent by the authorities abroad. By consideration turned out to be Device.

Finally, the Stat Counselor Erast Andreevich Grustilov appeared in silly. By this time, the silly forgot the true God and rushed to idols. Under it, the city is finally mired in debauchery and laziness. Having read on his happiness, stopped sowing, and hunger came to the city. The sadly was busy daily balas. But everything suddenly changed when he appeared about him. Phantofeter's pharmacist's wife pointed up the way of good. Yurodovy and miserable, worried during the worship of idols, became the main people in the city. The fools repented, but the fields were empty. The silly bond was gathered at night for reading the city of insurance and "admiration", which the bosses soon learned, and Gyevilov was shifted.

The last silly town of the Ugryum-Burcheev was an idiot. He put a goal - to turn stupid in the "Eternally-worthy of the memory of the Grand Duke Svyatoslav Igorevich City of Nesplansk" with direct the same streets, "Rotami", the same houses for the same families, etc. Ugryum-burver thought out the plan and began execution. The city was destroyed to the ground, and it was possible to start construction, but the river prevented. She did not fit in the plans of the Ugryum-Burchhev. The tireless garde led on her offensive. The whole garbage was broken, everything that remained from the city, but the river was blocked by all dams. And then the sulfur-burver turned around and walked from the river, by leading the silly. For the city, a completely even lowline was chosen, and construction began. But something has changed. However, the notebooks with the details of this story were lost, and the publisher only gives a junction: "... the land shook, the sun firing \u003c...\u003e It It came. " Without explaining that it was, the author only reports that "the prohvost instantly disappeared, as if dissolved in the air. History ceased his course. "

The story is closed by "justifications", i.e., the compositions of various town halls, somehow: Borodavkin, Mikelaj and Benevolensky, written in the edification of other decelerancers.
